Panoro Energy has released its 2021 Annual Statement of Reserves (ASR) of its global Operations. The company after taken into account of 2021 production of 2.8 MMbbls the total net working interest reserves for Panoro expressed in million barrels of oil (“MMbbls”) as of 31 December 2021 were stated as follows:
- Proved (1P) reserves of 23.50 MMbbls (31 December 2020: 8.05 MMbbls)
- Proved + Probable (2P) reserves of 35.82 MMbbls (31 December 2020: 12.30 MMbbls)
- Proved + Probable + Possible (3P) reserves of 47.45 MMbbls (31 December 2020: 16.46 MMbbls)
The year-on-year increase in reserves is primarily attributable to the acquisition of a 14.25% interest in Block G (Equatorial Guinea) and additional 10.00% interest in Dussafu Marin (Gabon) from Tullow Oil which completed during the year.
Panoro’s 2P reserves at 31 December 2021 also reflect an organic reserves addition of 2.4 MMbbls in relation to various development and production optimisation projects undertaken across the portfolio. This represents an 86% reserve replacement ratio of volumes produced during the year.
