據(jù)積極投資者4月21日消息，未來(lái)兩年，Zephyr Energy PLC與bp合作， 對(duì)威利斯頓盆地非經(jīng)營(yíng)性資產(chǎn)組合中的32.8萬(wàn)桶石油產(chǎn)量進(jìn)行了對(duì)沖。

該計(jì)劃將保證3000萬(wàn)美元的預(yù)計(jì)收入，包括基于當(dāng)前價(jià)格為每桶100.80美元，并到2024 年上半年末逐步下降至82.20美元的原油商品互換協(xié)議。

該計(jì)劃旨在為其高級(jí)債務(wù)提供現(xiàn)金流擔(dān)保，并在很大程度上降低Paradox盆地項(xiàng)目即將進(jìn)行的鉆探的資金需求風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

該公司表示，該協(xié)議涵蓋的產(chǎn)量不到未來(lái)兩年其非經(jīng)營(yíng)投資組合所有儲(chǔ)備類別總預(yù)測(cè)產(chǎn)量的 50%。

預(yù)計(jì)在未來(lái)24個(gè)月內(nèi)，威利斯頓盆地的提升成本平均約為每桶16美元。

威利斯頓盆地資產(chǎn)的合格人士報(bào)告(CPR)也是基于遠(yuǎn)低于對(duì)沖計(jì)劃水平的價(jià)格。

Zephyr的首席執(zhí)行官Colin Harrington表示：“在過(guò)去的12個(gè)月里，Zephyr成功完成了五項(xiàng)在威利斯頓盆地生產(chǎn)非經(jīng)營(yíng)性資產(chǎn)的收購(gòu)。  

“最近全球油價(jià)大幅上漲，導(dǎo)致價(jià)格遠(yuǎn)高于我們完成這些收購(gòu)時(shí)的預(yù)期水平，因此我很高興能夠在此時(shí)宣布實(shí)施我們的首個(gè)對(duì)沖計(jì)劃。

“我們預(yù)計(jì)，至少在未來(lái)12個(gè)月內(nèi)，我們所有預(yù)測(cè)的資本承諾都將通過(guò)現(xiàn)有現(xiàn)金資源和生產(chǎn)現(xiàn)金流的組合獲得全部資金。”

他補(bǔ)充道：“CPR對(duì)Paradox項(xiàng)目的主要調(diào)查結(jié)果預(yù)計(jì)將于下周初公布?！?/p>

Zephyr Energy hedges 50% of production with BP

Zephyr Energy PLC has hedged 328,000 barrels of oil production from its non-operated asset portfolio in the Williston Basin over the next two years with BP.

The programme, which will guarantee US$30mln of forecast revenue, comprises crude oil commodity swap agreements based on a current price of US$100.80 a barrel and declining in stages to US82.20 by the end of the first half of 2024.

The programme was structured to provide cashflow surety for its senior debt obligations and materially to de-risk funding requirements for the upcoming drilling at the Paradox Basin project.

The production covered by the agreement amounts to less than 50% of the total forecast production from all reserve categories on its non-operated portfolio over the next two years, it said.

Williston Basin lifting costs are forecast to average approximately US$16 per barrel over the next 24 months.

The Competent Persons Report (CPR) for its Williston Basin assets was also based on prices well below the hedging programme levels.

Colin Harrington, Zephyr’s chief executive, said: "Zephyr successfully completed five acquisitions of producing non-operated assets in the Williston Basin over the last twelve months.  

“The recent and substantial increase in global oil prices has now resulted in prices well above levels expected when we closed those acquisitions, so I'm delighted to be able to announce the implementation of our inaugural hedge programme at this time. 

“We expect all our forecast capital commitments, for at least the next twelve months to be fully funded through a combination of existing cash resources and cash flow from production.

“Key findings of the CPR on the Paradox project are expected early next week,” he added.
