The increase in sales compared to
H1 2017 was largely due to the substantial rise in the average sale
price of oil produced in Gabon (US$69.2/bbl, 36% higher than in H1
2017).
The entry into force of IFRS 15,
mandatory from 1 January 2018, led the Group to change the way it
recognises sales. Instead of being based on the Group's
entitlements on the production delivered to the oil terminals
("entitlement method"), they are now calculated based on liftings
during the period. In accordance with IFRS 15, this change in
accounting method was applied prospectively, without restating
comparative periods. The effect on sales in first-half 2018 in
Gabon was positive to the tune of some US$18 million, with lifted
volumes exceeding production.

In the first half of 2018,
operated oil production in Gabon stood at 21,561 bopd (17,249 bopd
net to M&P's working interest), down 13% compared to the same
period in 2017. Following pressure increases in the export
pipeline, the operator requested that evacuation of oil volumes be
limited from mid-May. After consultation with partners, a
progressive return to normal production levels started in early
July.
Drilling activities to support the
production profile and offset the fields' natural depletion
resumed. However, the restart the drilling rigs after a three-year
shutdown took longer than originally anticipated, and two of the
eleven wells planned for 2018 have been drilled to date. An
additional rig will soon be put into action to make up for the
delay in the initial drilling schedule in the second half of the
year. A positive impact on production is expected by the end of the
year.
In Tanzania, average operated
production was around 79.3 MMcf/d at 100%, equivalent to 38.1
MMcf/d for M&P's working interest (48.06%). Since February
2018, the monthly average operated production level has exceeded 80
MMcf/d, rising steadily to reach a level of 89 MMcf/d in June
2018.
