- Actual sales for the last month of the quarter is an estimate based on production data from prior months of production.
** Natural gas is converted to BOE on the basis of 6 Mcf of natural gas is equivalent to 1 BOE.
Average net daily sales to Pryme’s account for the September quarter were 55 Bbls/day of oil and 127 Mcfd of natural gas (76 BOE/day). This represents a decrease of 7.6% from the June 2013 quarter and is mainly attributable to a decline in sales from Turner Bayou.

Projects
We have spent the last quarter evaluating strategic acquisitions in the USA with a goal to immediately increase bottom line production and cash flow whilst preserving upside through both low risk development drilling and risk mitigated exploration throughout the Gulf Coast states of the USA. We are planning to be in a position to release further details on the first of a series of strategic acquisitions and partnerships before years end. Our project profile moving forward will also include a mixture of low risk, low cost shallow Middle Wilcox oil wells in our Four Rivers project area.
In Turner Bayou our efforts have been focused on optimizing production from our three existing wells and progressing discussions with several interested parties to buy an interest in or farm into Tuner Bayou to fund additional drilling opportunities. Additional interest in the project has been generated during the quarter and we remain positive about our efforts to source a partner to fund further exploration and development in the project area in a way that would minimise Pryme’s financial exposure. This would enable Pryme to retain an interest in the project and share in any upside through successful drilling efforts.
Turner Bayou Chalk Project
Deshotels 20H and 13H Production (40% WI / 30% NRI) Rosewood Plantation 21H No.1 (61.53% WI / 46.15% NRI)
The average daily production rate for these wells during the September 2013 quarter was 76 Bbls/day (23 Bbls/day net to Pryme.) Production has remained fairly stable on the Deshotels 13 & 20H wells despite the mechanical issues which impeded their effective completion.
The three production units hold approximately 3,360 acres by production.
About Turner Bayou
The Turner Bayou project comprises approximately 80 square miles (50,000 acres) which have been imaged by a proprietary 3D seismic survey. Pryme has a 40% working interest in approximately 19,000 gross acres (15,000 net acres) in the Turner Bayou Project and is initially targeting development of the Austin Chalk horizon. In addition to the Austin Chalk potential of the Turner Bayou project area, exploration drilling within Pryme’s Turner Bayou leases has intersected the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale which is analogous to the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas.
Four Rivers Project (8% – 25% Working Interest)
Third quarter oil sales of 2,732 barrels (30 Bbls/day net to Pryme) were 9% lower than for the previous quarter. This is mainly attributable to timing of oil deliveries and normal decline.
About Four Rivers
The Four Rivers project extends from Winn, Concordia and Catahoula Parishes in Louisiana to Adams, Jefferson and Wilkinson Counties in Mississippi. The project is targeting multiple “stacked” oil zones throughout the Middle-Wilcox formation at depths ranging from 4,000 to 7,000 feet. Wells drilled in the Middle-Wilcox exhibit long production lives with low decline rates after the initial flush oil is produced and relatively steady production is established. They are relatively inexpensive to drill with the potential for rapid conversion to production and typically have low operating and maintenance costs.
Raven Project (35% WI / 25.38% NRI)
Third quarter sales for the Raven project were 11,667 Mcf of natural gas and 221 barrels of condensate net to Pryme (127mcfd and 2.4 Bbls/day net to Pryme respectively), reflecting 15% increase in gas sales over the previous quarter and a 25% increase in condensate sales due timing of oil sales.

Financial
Cash on hand at 30 September 2013 was $1.941m. Cash receipts from oil & gas sales for the quarter totalled $0.65m. Revenue before royalty payments for the quarter totalled $0.62m. Cash receipts may differ to reported revenue due to cash receipts from sales being disbursed net of royalties and the timing of working interest holder distributions by the operator.
