Panoro\u2019s net working interest production at Block G in the first half of 2022 averaged 4,714 barrels oil per day, representing approximately 60 percent of the Company\u2019s total reported production. Panoro\u2019s net 2P reserves attributed to Block G at 31 December 2021 stood at 13.2 million barrels.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2022 the Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons of Equatorial Guinea and the Joint Venture partners at Block G agreed a material time extension of the Production Sharing Contract until end 2040 covering both the Ceiba and Okume Complex fields.\u00a0 Management expects that Panoro\u2019s net 2P reserves will increase by between two to three million barrels as a result of the PSC extension which also supports the next phase of planned investment by the Joint Venture partners with a three well production drilling campaign due to commence in the second half of 2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Hamilton, CEO of Panoro, Commented:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe rapid payback we have achieved in less than 18 months on our Equatorial Guinea acquisition underscores not only the high asset quality of the Ceiba and Okume Complex fields, but is also a strong endorsement of Panoro\u2019s ambitious growth strategy and agility that allowed us to make a highly value accretive acquisition at an opportunistic point in the oil price cycle. Panoro also acquired at the same time a further 10 percent interest in the Dussafu Marin Permit in Gabon as part of the wider transaction where, taking into account capex at the greenfield Hibiscus Ruche Phase 1 development, we expect to similarly achieve payback around year end 2023 at current forward pricing.
