7 June 2012resource reserve update▲ GoodMajor
Kazakhstan's State Reserves Committee approved C1+C2 reserves of ~37 mmbbl for the four wells, versus Senergy's 24 mmbbl 2P (Triassic only); the board cautions the figures are not comparable. The exploration licence is extended to December 2014. J-53's frac hit water, so a workover is planned in Q3.
March quarter report: J-50/J-52 trial production began, with oil presold at US$400/tonne. J-53 flowed up to ~300 barrels of liquid a day, mixed oil and completion fluids, and needs further work. Block 31 licence prolongation and extra acreage applications lodged; an underwritten rights issue awaits Kazakh approvals.
Two traders agreed to buy 6,000 tonnes at US$400/tonne (~US$58/barrel), fully prepaid; US$1.2m is received and US$1.2m is due. Net of ~US$6/barrel transport and storage, ~US$52/barrel versus US$42 earlier, a 22% increase.
Trial production has started from J-50 and J-52 under their licences, expected at ~600 bopd combined, trucked to third-party storage. This resolves the long wait; it came in April 2012, later than the end-2011 expectation. J-51 and J-53 licence applications are being prepared.
finnCap Ltd replaces Evolution Securities as Jupiter's AIM nominated adviser and broker, effective immediately. Administrative change, five months after admission.
Half-year report to 31 December 2011: loss A$2.02m, cash A$4.6m, and 11,739 barrels produced. All four Block 31 exploration wells have been discoveries. J-55 is the final commitment well, to spud in 2012. Cash is well below the ~A$14m at 30 June.
December quarter report: J-51 held over 600 bopd through its 90-day test, ending 4 February, with ~24,000 barrels sold. Extension 3D is processed, and the J-55 location is due in Q1 2012. J-50/J-52 trial production has slipped to Q1 2012, from the earlier expectation of before end 2011.
J-53, the fourth exploration well on Block 31, reached 3,113m after 58 days, with hydrocarbons indicated in the Mid Triassic and 87m gross and 56m net pay. A 90-day flow test follows, and a new reserves report is due in Q2 2012.
Competent Persons Statement for the 2011 annual report, filed at ASX's request for completeness. It names Senergy for the Triassic reserves and prospective resources and RES for the P50 prospective resource. No new results.
J-51 is stabilised at 630 bopd on a 9mm choke, above the ~500 bopd expected on 28 November. J-53 was at 1,661m on 20 December. J-50/J-52 production still awaits final flaring permits. An updated reserves submission is planned for late Q1 2012.
New company constitution released after shareholders passed Resolution 5 at the 28 November AGM. Mostly administrative, but includes new proportional takeover and share-interest disclosure clauses and a minimum shareholding clause.
J-51 began its 90-day production test at 340 bopd, constrained by rain-damaged roads; about 500 bopd stabilised is expected. Oil is sold to two domestic traders at ~US$42/barrel. J-53 spudded 25 November, targeting up to 10 mmbbl of potential resource at ~3,200m.
Oilbarrel conference presentation repeating known facts: 2P reserves of 24.2 mmbbl, net cash US$11.7m at 30 September, ~116m shares, and a target of 4,000 bopd by 2015. The presentation lists SNG at 49%, which looks inconsistent with earlier records (inference: possibly a typo).
Jupiter's 115,863,487 shares were admitted to London's AIM on 9 November 2011 under JPRL, alongside the ASX listing. This completes the planned dual listing. J-53 is expected to spud by end November, and J-50/J-52 production before year end.
2011 annual report, re-lodged in full. The chairman's letter repeats the Senergy upgrade of 2P reserves from 8.6 to 24.2 mmbbl, the ~A$11m May placement, Waterford at ~30% and the Block 31 extension. Text is truncated; no new information visible.
AIM admission documents are published, with admission expected 9 November 2011 under ticker JPRL. Halyk Finance has begun research coverage. This continues the planned London dual listing.
September quarter report repeating known events: J-50 and J-52 licences approved with production expected by year end, J-51 pay of 83m net, the US$3.45m convertible note and the AIM listing. J-53 is expected to spud in Q4 2011.
Kazakhstan's Central Development Committee approved Trial Production Licences for J-50 and J-52, ending the long wait, with production expected before end 2011. J-51 shows 83m net pay. A US$3.45m, 15% convertible note from Soyuzneftegas is agreed, and AIM listing is planned.
Annual report for the year to 30 June 2011. The chairman's letter recaps the Senergy upgrade to 24.2 mmbbl, the ~A$11m placement, Waterford at ~30% and the Block 31 extension. The financial detail is truncated here.
3D seismic acquisition over 140 km2 of the extended Block 31 finished ahead of schedule on 21 September, meeting the work commitment over a year early. Processing is due by mid-December, and Jupiter expects at least one 2012 well there.
J-51 reached total depth of 3100m on 18 September after 50 days, with hydrocarbons indicated in the Mid Triassic by mud and wireline logs. Casing, stimulation and up to 3 months of flow testing come next. No flow rate yet.
3D seismic acquisition has started over the Block 31 extension, taking about 4 weeks, with 6 months of processing to follow. Jupiter plans to put a 2012 well location in the extension area if the data supports it.
Shareholders approved the 15-for-1 share consolidation. Deferred settlement trading began 16 August under ticker JPRDA, with normal trading under JPR resuming 30 August 2011. Administrative notice.
Gamal Kulumbetov, with over 13 years in the sector, joins as Managing Director of Jupiter Energy (Kazakhstan), based in Aktau. He will run Block 31 operations and set up an oil sales division.
J-51, the 2011 commitment well in the Akkar East structure, spudded on 30 July 2011. It targets about 3200m in roughly 60 days and tests the Triassic and Jurassic. It sits 2 km from J-50 and 1.7 km from J-52.
June quarter report: the J-52 Jurassic test showed only ~1% oil and may not be commercial. Block 31 was extended and the rig is at J-51. A 15:1 share consolidation and new performance rights go to the 12 August meeting. Cash was about A$14m.
13 July 2011asset acquisition disposition▲ GoodMajor
The Ministry of Oil & Gas approved extending Block 31 by 59.29 km2 to 122.68 km2, on the same fiscal terms. Jupiter must shoot 3D seismic there by end 2012, estimated at US$2.4m. This resolves the long-pending extension application.
J-52's 90-day Triassic test is done and its reserves were approved by the Kazakh Geological Committee. J-52 Jurassic completion has started, J-51 is due to spud in July, and cash was about A$14.5m at 30 June.
