TransGlobe Energy Corporation announced the results of its independent reserves evaluation for Canada and Egypt for the year ended December 31, 2021 as prepared by GLJ Ltd.
HIGHLIGHTS
EGYPT
In Egypt, the Parliamentary ratification and President’s signature into law in December 2021 of the agreement to merge, amend and extend the Company’s three existing Eastern Desert concessions (West Gharib, West Bakr and North West Gharib) (the “Merged Concession Agreement”) resulted in increases to both reserves volumes and values.
2P drilling additions of 2.4 MMbbls (1P: 1.4 MMbbls) resulted from successful drilling in the K and H field, while improved production performance and the term extension realized from the Merged Concession Agreement resulted in positive 2P technical revisions of 3.2 MMbbls (1P: 6.8 MMbbls). Egypt represents 65% and 58% of TransGlobe’s reserves on a 1P and 2P basis, respectively
CANADA
In Canada, continued success in the South Harmattan area has led to significant increases in both reserves volumes and values, providing the Company with a large inventory of high value development locations.
2P drilling additions of 5.7 MMboes (1P: 1.3 MMbbls) resulted from the 3 well drilling program in South Harmattan and associated undeveloped location bookings. To date TransGlobe has drilled 5 wells (5 net) in the South Harmattan area. Canada represents 35% and 42% of TransGlobe’s reserves on a 1P and 2P basis, respectively.
Randy Neely, President & Chief Executive Officer of TransGlobe: “We are thrilled with the updated year-end 2021 reserves. This puts a resounding stamp of justification on the years of hard work to both complete the Eastern Desert PSC consolidation and establish a second core operating area in Canada. Although improved commodity prices contributed to the increase in reserves and value, the quantum of the reserves increase is chiefly due to both the amended commercial terms in Egypt and the strong technical and operating work done in both Egypt and Canada. Our team has done a tremendous job over the past four plus years.
“With this chapter behind us, the next step will be to establish an appropriate balance between maintaining/ growing our business, while providing a meaningful return to our shareholders. We are particularly grateful to our strong core shareholder base who have weathered the long journey to re-establish ourselves as a strong participant in the marketplace, and we intend to address our distribution policy in the coming weeks.”
