Transcription

1 ly Production Report For period ended 31 March 2018 Information presented throughout this report relates only to hydrocarbon exploration and production activities undertaken by Origin Energy Limited ( Origin ), its subsidiaries and the incorporated joint ventures in which it has interests. This report does not cover other business activities of Origin such as electricity generation, or energy retailing. The information in the table below does not include Origin s share of production from Lattice Energy assets. The sale of Lattice Energy to Beach Energy was completed on 31 January 2018, with an economic effective date of 1 July For details of Lattice Energy production and results to 31 January 2018, refer to section 1.2. Comparative performance at a glance Origin s interest in APLNG Previous Comparison March 2018 December 2017 Change % Production (PJe) (1%) Sales (PJe) (9%) Revenue (A$m) (4%) Prior Year Corresponding Comparison March 2018 March 2017 Change % Production (PJe) % Sales (PJe) % Revenue (A$m) % Year to Date Comparison Jul Mar 2018 Jul 2016 Mar 2017 Change % Production (PJe) % Sales (PJe) % Revenue (A$m) 1 1, % Highlights In the nine months to March 2018, Origin s share of APLNG production increased by 14% to PJ due to full nine months contribution of APLNG Train Two. Over the same period total APLNG related revenue increased by 48% to $1,476 million (Origin share) due to increased sales volumes of LNG and higher realised prices for both domestic gas and LNG. During the March 2018 quarter, a total of 30 produced LNG cargoes were loaded and shipped from the APLNG facility on Curtis Island. Planned maintenance on Train Two was successfully completed in March in line with expectations. During the shutdown, excess upstream gas volumes were directed into the domestic market, with Origin also able to complete additional upstream maintenance activities. On 21 April 2018, the deep conventional Burunga South 2 Exploration well was spudded by APLNG. On 23 April 2018, APLNG returned funds to shareholders through a buy-back of a portion of its USD preference shares. Funds paid to Origin in relation to the buy-back were US$105 million (A$136 million). On 31 January 2018 Origin announced the completion of the $1,585 million sale of Lattice Energy to Beach Energy with an economic effective date of 1 July On 17 April 2018 the Northern Territory government announced its decision to lift the moratorium on fracking and adopt the recommendations of the independent enquiry. Origin welcomes the decision and plans to seek the necessary approvals to drill and fracture stimulate a further five wells to complete existing exploration and appraisal commitments established prior to the moratorium. 1 Revenue disclosed includes APLNG related amounts that have been capitalised prior to November 2016 as well as gains/(losses) on forward sales and hedging.

2 Production and Sales March 2018 compared with December 2017 Origin s share of APLNG production decreased by 1% to 62.7PJ, reflecting fewer days in the quarter. Lower LNG volumes resulting from the planned maintenance in March were offset by higher domestic volumes. Origin s share of APLNG related revenue decreased by 4% due to timing of shipments partially offset by higher commodity prices. March 2018 compared with March 2017 Origin s share of APLNG production of 62.7 PJ in the March 2018 quarter was 5.9 PJ or 10% higher than the March 2017 quarter reflecting the ramp up in LNG Train 2 production. Origin s share of APLNG related revenue increased by $106.6 million from the March 2017 quarter reflecting higher average realised prices and increased volumes sold as LNG. Financial year to date 2018 compared with financial year to date 2017 Origin s share of APLNG production of PJ in the nine months to March 2018 was 22.7 PJ or 14% higher than the prior period, due to two LNG trains being online for the full nine months. Origin s share of APLNG related revenue increased by $477.2 million or 48% from the prior period reflecting increased production, with increased volumes sold as LNG and higher average realised prices.

In FY2013 Origin entered into agreements to sell the majority of its future oil and condensate production over a 72 month period commencing 1 July The fixed price of US$62.40/bbl represents the forward oil price at the time of US$89/bbl, discounted to reflect the receipt of the proceeds upfront. Upon entry into the agreements, Origin received A$482 million. Origin closed out these agreements following the completion of the sale of Lattice Energy to Beach Energy on 31 January March 2018 ly Production Report Page 4 of 10

5 2. DEVELOPMENT AND EXPLORATION OPERATIONS 2.1 Origin s interests held through Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) Operations Update APLNG production (100%) was PJ during the quarter in line with the December 2017 quarter (169.0 PJ). APLNG sales volume (100%) was down 15.7 PJ to PJ during the quarter primarily reflecting lower LNG volumes due to planned shutdown and timing of LNG cargoes, partly offset by increased domestic sales. During the quarter, production from operated fields increased to an average of 1,424 TJ/d from 1,406 TJ/d in the December 2017 quarter (APLNG share), primarily reflecting improving production from existing wells and facilities. Average production from non-operated assets increased to 435 TJ/d in the March 2018 quarter from 431 TJ/d in the December 2017 quarter (APLNG share). Production from QGC operated fields increased to 325 TJ/d from 319 TJ/d as the Ruby Jo facility returned to full production after shutdown in October. Planned maintenance was successfully completed in March with Train Two shut down for sixteen days. During the shutdown, excess upstream gas volumes were directed into the domestic market, with Origin also able to complete additional upstream maintenance activities. APLNG expects to complete one downstream maintenance shutdown in Q4 FY2018 involving Train One for approximately sixteen days. During the March 2018 quarter, a total of 30 produced LNG cargoes were loaded and shipped from the APLNG facility on Curtis Island. APLNG participated in the drilling of 67 operated development wells and 24 non operated development wells during the March 2018 quarter. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Burunga South 2 Exploration well was spudded on 21 April This is a deep conventional well targeting non-csg prospects below the Peat field.
