31 Jan 2013quarterly activities report● Neutral
December quarter production was 161.7 MMcf, gross PSC revenue US$1.437M, cash $2.771M, no debt. Triangle is the shortlisted preferred partner for a new 30-year Pase PSC, and the 2013 work program is approved. The Morocco letter of intent is highlighted as diversification.
Triangle made the final US$770,295 payment on 7 January, fully redeeming the Standard Chartered convertible notes. Total repayments on the US$3.5M facility were US$3.93M, and the company now has no debt. Cash was A$2.605M at 31 December 2012. This ends the Tranche 2 prospect.
ASX queried a price rise from 0.7 to 1.2 cents. Triangle said it knows of no unannounced information explaining the trading and confirmed it complies with the listing rules.
Triangle signed a letter of intent with Morocco's ONHYM retaining six exploration blocks, 12,575 km2 onshore and 9,229 km2 offshore. Potential prospective resource is over 600 million barrels of oil in place and 140 Bcf of gas. It is non-binding; petroleum agreements remain to be negotiated, and it is a first move outside Indonesia.
September quarter production was 183.5 MMcf, gross PSC revenue US$1.738M, cash $2.6M (from $5.2M) and market cap $6M. The A10 well AFE was approved. An 11-member Aceh adviser team is choosing the Pase operator; Triangle submitted its proposal.
Second release of the 2012 annual report with the same chairman's letter: 842 MMcf production, PSC expired in February, new PSC pursued through the 80/20 Aceh Global Energy venture. Repeats known facts.
2011/12 annual report: production was 842 MMcf from A-1, A-5 and A-6. After the PSC expired in February, Triangle chose to pursue a new PSC through the 80/20 Aceh Global Energy venture rather than renew. Drilling starts once a new PSC is granted.
BPMIGAS confirmed this week that Triangle Pase Inc should keep operating the Pase PSC until a definitive operator is selected. No renewal has been granted; Triangle is working with the governments to be chosen as operator.
Triangle redeemed 1,881,019 of its Tranche 1 convertible notes for US$2.0M, a 15% annual return to Standard Chartered, leaving 1,619,762 notes. Standard Chartered also gets 27m options at A$0.01 for 2 years, subject to FIRB approval.
June quarter production was 185.2 MMcf from A-1, A-5 and A-6, gross PSC revenue US$1.735M, cash $5.2M (down from $6.69M), market cap $13M. Triangle ceased due diligence on ExxonMobil's Aceh assets; infill drilling targeted for 2013.
Standard Chartered nominee director Alastair Morrison resigned from the board. CFO Darren Bromley (CFO since April 2010) replaces Rae Clark as Company Secretary.
Triangle registered Aceh Global Energy Pte Ltd in Singapore, owned 80% by Triangle and 20% by Aceh-government-owned PT Investa Aceh, as the vehicle to seek the new Pase PSC. This follows the April Investa Aceh agreement; the PSC is not yet awarded.
March quarter production was 198.73 MMcf, revenue US$2.04m, cash $6.69m, market cap $24m. The PSC expired 22 February; Triangle operates under a six-month BPMIGAS instruction. A side-track of A-2 now looks more attractive than reperforation; infill drilling is targeted for 2013.
Triangle signed an exclusive memorandum of agreement with PT Investa Aceh, owned by the Aceh government, on future management and operation of the Pase area. Investa Aceh will seek a new PSC from the central government, changing the route from Triangle's own renewal.
Half-year report to 31 December 2011: production 463.35 MMcf, with A-1 and A-2 reperforation failing to restore flow. 2012 work budget approved, with spending approval following PSC renewal. Sierakowski resigned; Morrison and Godfrey were appointed. Financial figures were not visible in the text.
With the Pase PSC due to expire, regulator BPMIGAS told Triangle on 17 February 2012 to keep operating the block for six more months while a decision is made. The 20-year renewal sought since 2010 is not granted; a working agreement is being finalised.
Chairman's address to the 14 February general meeting, called to approve conditions of the Standard Chartered convertible notes. He could not comment on the Pase PSC renewal beyond saying progress is being made.
December quarter production was 233 MMcf, revenue US$2.8m, cash $7.5m after a $2m placement and the US$3.5m note tranche. A-1 and A-2 reperforation failed to lift flow, so propellant stimulation is being considered. 2012 work program approved by BPMIGAS; PSC renewal still pending.
Alastair Morrison, global head of Standard Chartered Private Equity, joined the board on 7 December 2011, with Peter Godfrey as his alternate. This follows the convertible note deal. Neither holds shares.
Standard Chartered Private Equity agreed to subscribe up to US$10m of convertible notes: US$3.5m now, US$6.5m later subject to shareholder, FIRB and PSC renewal conditions. Notes convert at A$0.03, pay 8%, mature in 3 years. Full conversion would give about 18.3%.
AGM chairman's address: FY11 revenue $16.8m and net profit $0.39m. BPMIGAS has approved the 2012 work program and budget, with development and exploration to follow PSC renewal next year. Renewal is still pending.
AGM presentation repeats the Pase story and AGM resolutions, including approval to issue up to 270m shares. It says Triangle is conducting due diligence on ExxonMobil's planned sale of Aceh assets (NSO, Block B, 30% of Arun LNG plant). Exploration upside is also highlighted.
September quarter production fell to 224.96 MMcf (June quarter 357.76) as work-overs disrupted flow; revenue US$2.3m. Cash fell to $4.87m from $8.815m. A-1 shows formation damage needing acid stimulation; A-2 has gas but awaits reperforation. The 2012 work budget was lodged with BPMIGAS.
Full 2010/11 annual report. Production was 1,977 MMcf from A-1, A-5 and A-6; the work-over rig phase finished August 2011 with clean-up under way. Exploration is to start once the Pase PSC renewal is granted. Repeats the earlier summary of the year.
Non-executive director Adam Sierakowski resigned, citing new opportunities in resources. He joined the board in October 2009 and helped with the Triangle Energy Limited acquisition. His final notice shows 7,106,945 shares directly and 7,577,500 via Trident Capital.
2011 annual report: FY production 1,977 MMcf versus 2,038 MMcf the prior year. Rig operations finished in August and clean-up continues; PSC renewal still pending. Lemmey is listed as executive director.
September 2011 corporate presentation restates the Pase story and lists reserve estimates: BPMIGAS 79 Bcf remaining, ExxonMobil 2003 estimate 119 Bcf. A CEO, Duncan Nuttall, is shown in management. No new announcements in the visible text.
