Energean : Half Year Results RNS

Energean plc ("Energean" or the "Company")

Results for Half Year Ended 30 June 2021

London, 2 September 2021 - Energean plc (LSE: ENOG TASE: גאנא) is pleased to announce its half-year results for the six months ended 30 June 2021 ("1H 2021").

Mathios Rigas, Chief Executive of Energean, commented:

"During 1H 2021, Energean delivered excellent operational and financial progress, reflecting the transformational nature of the acquisition of Edison E&P. Production is outperforming guidance, translating into record financial performance and, through successful execution of our gas- and returns-focused strategy, we have achieved a significant milestone in our transformation into a 200 kboed, $2 billion annual revenue generating, sustainable dividend yielding, energy company. In addition, we further strengthened and de-risked our balance sheet by raising the largest ever EMEA energy international high yield bond and remain fully-funded for all projects across our nine countries of operation.

"Despite continued COVID-19 related challenges, we have delivered solid progress on our flagship Karish gas development project, which remains firmly on track to deliver first gas in mid-2022. There are a number of potential acceleration measures under active consideration and, at 31 August 2021, the workforce on the Karish project was in excess of 1,700, an approximate 70% month-on-month increase. Further growth in Israel will be delivered through our (up to) five-well offshore growth programme, with the Stena IceMax drilling rig commencing operations in 1Q-2022. The programme targets an additional 1 billion boe, which has the potential to double our reserve base with high quality resource volumes that can be quickly, economically, and safely monetised. Globally, gas prices are strong and we are assessing several commercial opportunities to access international markets, as well as the growing Israeli domestic market, if (and when) additional gas resources become available to us.

"In the second half of the year, we look forward to continuing to deliver our key gas development projects in Egypt and Italy, which alongside commencement of the revised Epsilon project in Greece, will provide further, substantial near-term growth and value realisation in the Mediterranean region.

"The recently published Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change1 report on the impacts of global warming made for stark reading and emphasized the need for immediate action. As a business, we have taken full responsibility for our own emissions profile, showcased by publication of our first Climate Change Policy, which outlines the short, medium, and long- term actions we will take as part of our commitment to become a net zero emitter by 2050. In the first half of 2021, we reduced the carbon intensity of our operations by more than 19% versus 2020 levels2; representing a 73% reduction versus our base year of 2019. This is a trajectory we are committed to continuing, and we are investigating all options to accelerate our net zero commitment ahead of 2050, in recognition of the need for urgent and immediate action."

Energean Operational Review

Production

1H 2021 average working interest production was 44.0 kboed (72% gas), ahead of full year guidance, which is maintained at 38 - 42 kboed. This represents a substantial year-on-year increase, reflecting the transformational nature of the acquisition of Edison E&P and the successful, quick integration of the Edison E&P portfolio into Energean despite the operational challenges posed by COVID-19.

Karish Project

Energean remains firmly on track to deliver first gas from the Karish gas development project in mid-2022. At 31 July 2021, the project was approximately 91.5% complete10.

The next tangible milestone on the development remains sailaway of the FPSO from Singapore to Israel, currently expected in 1Q 2022. The journey from Singapore to Israel is expected to take approximately 35 days, with hook-up and pre-first gas commissioning then expected to take approximately three months.

Energean is actively working with its contractors to identify and implement potential acceleration measures for the FPSO delivery schedule, which are not reflected in the current timetable. Following agreement of an incentivisation payment of $12 million by Energean to Sembcorp in August 2021, workforce numbers on the Energean Power FPSO have increased by approximately 70%, to more than 1,700 at 31 August 2021.

Energean will update the market on whether it expects any acceleration of the delivery timetable as and when it is appropriate to do so.

FPSO	96.7
Subsea	83.0
Onshore	99.8
Total	91.5

Energean has signed 18 gas sales agreements ("Agreements") for the supply of 7.2 Bcm/yr of gas on plateau, representing almost 100% of total gas reserves volumes over the life of those Agreements. All Agreements include provisions for floor

pricing and take-or-pay and / or exclusivity, providing a high level of certainty over revenues from the Karish, Karish North and Tanin projects over the next 16 years.

For one Agreement representing 0.2 Bcm/yr and commencing 2024, the buyer has been unable to meet its conditions subsequent under the Agreement and the parties have mutually agreed to terminate the Agreement. This termination is not related to the project schedule. Energean has identified a potential replacement buyer for these volumes and expects to reach an Agreement shortly; Energean's main current restriction to signing further Agreements is that it has sold substantially all of its independently audited gas reserves.

One Agreement, representing 0.8 Bcm/yr of gas supply, is at potential risk of termination; however, if it is terminated, Energean has identified multiple alternative routes to monetise those gas volumes, including both domestic and international markets, and is confident of profitably selling them. Other than that one Agreement, Energean believes that all of its Agreements are robust under the current first gas delivery timetable, notwithstanding the delays experienced due to COVID-19-related circumstances.

Growth Projects

In May 2021, Energean took FID on two high-return growth projects, offshore Israel:

• $70 million second oil train that will enable increased production of approximately 5 million barrels of hydrocarbon liquids per year at minimal incremental operating costs; and
• $40 million second gas sales riser, which will enable gas production at the full 8 Bcm/yr capacity of the FPSO Both projects are progressing on schedule and are expected onstream in summer 2023.

In June 2021, Energean signed a rig contract with Stena for the drilling of up to five wells that will target derisking of unrisked prospective resources of over 1 Bnboe12. The contract consists of three firm wells plus two optional wells, with the first well expected to spud in 1Q 2022. The firm wells are all expected to be drilled during 2022 and consist of:

• The Athena exploration well, located on Block 12, is situated directly between the Karish and Tanin leases and is expected to be the first well in the programme;
  o Two factors support commercialisation of a Block 12 discovery. Firstly, Block 12 was a new licence award to EISL in 2018; produced volumes will therefore generate no royalty payments in respect of EISL's original acquisition of the block. Secondly, the more proximate location of the potential development to the expected position of the FPSO will reduce like-for-like development costs when compared with Tanin
• The Karish North development well, a key part of the Karish North development; and
• The Karish Main-04 appraisal well, which is expected to target further prospective volumes within the Karish Main Block, including the potential oil rim that was identified as part of the Karish Main-03 development well drilling.

Energean is in the process of identifying and working up commercialisation options in the event of discoveries being made as part of the 2022-23 growth drilling programme and monetisation options include both domestic and international markets.

Egypt

Working interest production from the Abu Qir area averaged 31.4 kboed (87% gas) during 1H 2021 with full year production guidance maintained at between 27 - 30 kboed.

The shallow-water NEA/NI satellite tie-back project is progressing in line with expectations, with first gas from one well anticipated in 2H 2022 and from the remaining three wells in 1Q 2023. The project was sanctioned in January 2021 and an EPCI contract for the four subsea wells and the associated tie-back to the Abu Qir platform and associated infrastructure was awarded to TechnipFMC in 1Q 2021.
