AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ Condor Energies (CDR CN)C; Target price of C$5.60 per share: Very high flow rate at bypassed zone boosts production and unlocks reserves - A potential bypassed 60 m gas pay section, identified using advanced cased-hole logging tools and reprocessed existing 3-D seismic data, was put in production over a 23 m perforated interval at a rate of 1,100 boe/d, increasing to 1,300 boe/d over the past five days as the completion fluid has been ...
• Production at Triton has been suspended due to issues caused by Storm Éowyn, which resulted in minor damage to one of the cargo tanks. While preparing to conduct repairs, an integrity issue with a coupling in the inert gas line required for purging the tanks was identified. The FPSO remains offline pending identification of the root cause. • Production is now expected to restart in mid to late March, but the summer maintenance shutdown could also be longer than the expected 40 days as further ...
AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ ADX Energy (ADX AU)C; Target price of A$0.30 per share: Historic permit award in Italy opens a new growth area - ADX has been offered and accepted the “d 363 C.R-.AX” permit in the Sicily Channel, offshore Italy, covering a maximum area of 346 km2. ADX applied for the permit in 2018, but the moratorium on awarding new exploration blocks in Italy was only lifted last year. ADX will become a licensed operator in Italy as well as Austria ...
• FY24 production of 34.6 mboe/d had been reported previously. • The GE-05 well (Serica WI: 100%) has been brought into production at a stable rate of 6 mbbl/d after having flowed 9 mbbl/d on test.

• Triton production resumed on 27 December 2024 following a shut-down of about three weeks, within the guidance of two to four weeks. • There was brief period of unscheduled downtime at Bruce due to a subsea intervention associated with the Rhum field. Production at Bruce has now resumed. Total FY24 production was 34.6 mboe/d including 25.1 mboe/d in 4Q24. 4Q24 production of 7.3 mboe/d at the “other assets” was particularly high given the contribution from Erskine that restarted production at th...
AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ ADX Energy (ADX AU)C; Target price of A$0.30 per share: Reflections on Welchau - Three intervals in the Reifling formation (1324 m-1340 m, 1346 m-1351 m and 1358 m-1382 m MD) were perforated but only limited inflow was determined. No fluid could reach the surface after the well was shut in. Sampling of the well indicated only completion brine (not reservoir fluid) and fine solid particles of unknown origin. ADX will analyse the particl...

• After resumption of production at the Triton FPSO last week, an issue with one of the compressor seals has been discovered which has resulted in production being suspended. • These repairs are expected to take 2-4 weeks. We are now cautiously assuming that Triton will be offline until YE24. • Issues at Triton’s compressors have had a significant impact on production in 2024. With Triton and Bruce fully operational, production has exceeded 50 mboe/d. Current production is only 28 mboe/d. • Add...
AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ ADX Energy (ADX AU)C; Target price of NOK51 per share: Water inflow from a small interval in Welchau deeper formation. Continuing well test up hole – Two intervals in the Steinalm formation (1452.5 m-1463.5 m and 1474.5 m-1480 m MD) were tested at a stable rate (natural flow) of 240-290 bbl/d of drilling mud, likely contaminated formation water and some oil traces. Gas was initially observed at surface. While the achieved flow rate hig...
• The first compressor at Triton has been repaired and the platform is expected to be back online this week. This represents a few weeks’ delay but the restart will boost production materially. • With the recent addition of the B6 well (>5 mboe/d net), total production was already over 50 mboe/d on 2 October. Since then, the Gannet GE-05 well has been tied-in and the EC1 well (Guillemot NW field) has reached TD (first production in 1Q25). Overall, we forecast that Serica could produce ~48 mboe/d...
AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ Condor Energies (CDR CN)C; Target price of C$5.80 per share: Another positive operating update – The work-overs of two new existing wells have added 441 boe/d after a combined 20 m of previously unperforated reservoir pay was accessed. The first well is producing 410 boe/d. It was previously shut-in. The second well is producing an extra 31 boe/d (+65%) and continues to clean-up. With a total cost of 100 wells on Condor’s fields includ...
• While the new fiscal regime for UK upstream oil and gas in yesterday’s UK budget incorporates a 3% increase in EPL (to 38%) and the elimination of the 29% investment uplift allowance for EPL purposes, this is a better outcome than feared. • While these changes were expected, the industry and investors had been concerned by the possibility that capex investment might not be fully deductible for EPL purposes. That risk has now been removed. • In addition, the 62.5% investment uplift allowance f...
• Production at the Triton FPSO has been interrupted due to potential dry gas seal failure at the A gas compressor. The vulnerability of Triton to an issue with the single compressor was flagged previously, and improving the robustness of production was highlighted by Serica’s new CEO as a priority. The second compressor would have reduced the operational vulnerability of the FPSO but it has not yet been repaired. This second compressor is now expected to be brought back in service in 1Q25 inste...
• The B6 well on the Bittern field is now in production at a stable gross rate of ~8 mboe/d. Net to Serica, this represents ~5.2 mboe/d. This is well above our expectations of ~3 mboe/d (net). • This result showcases the quality of the subsurface team at Serica, something emphasised by the CEO at the HY results, as the well was drilled horizontally in a thin 245 m long reservoir section just above the oil-water contact. • Overall production is now above 50 mboe/d. Given a slow ramp-up following ...

While the initial pilot hole encountered the targeted reservoirs at the Anchois Footwall prospect, they were interpreted as water wet. Our ReNAV for this prospect was £0.03/sh. The well was sidetracked in the B sands which are the main appraisal targets. Prel...
• 1H24 production was 43.7 mboe/d, which is in line with our expectations. Net cash of ~US$143 mm at the end of June was also near our forecasts. • The FY24 production is expected to be towards the bottom end of the guidance of 41-46 mboe/d, mostly due to more downtime than expected at the Triton hub. The summer maintenance lasted >61 days instead of scheduled 40 days. • With further visibility on the UK fiscal regime expected at the end of October, the key takeaway from the announcement is Seri...
