First Quarter 2021 Results
Selling Price
Brent averaged $61.1 per barrel during the first quarter 2021, up 22% compared to the first quarter 2020. Reflecting the higher Brent price, the selling price of the crude oil grade marketed by Total Gabon averaged $54.4 per barrel, during the first quarter 2021, up 34% compared to first quarter 2020, benefiting from improved price differential between Brent and Mandji qualities.
Production
Total Gabon's equity share of operated and non-operated oil production1 amounted to 26,8 kb/d during the first quarter 2021 down 4% compared to the first quarter 2020, mainly due to:
- A partial shutdown on the operated Baudroie field caused by a damage on an export pipe.
- The natural decline of the fields.
This was partly offset by:
- The gains, on the non-operated Grondin sector, from the conversion campaign of well activation from gas-lift to electrical submersible pumps.
Revenues
Despite an unfavourable lifting program, revenues amounted to $139 million in the first quarter 2021, up 23% compared to the first quarter 2020, mainly thanks to improved average selling price during the quarter.
Funds Generated from Operations
Cash flow from operations amounted to $88 million in the first quarter 2021, up 60% compared to the first quarter 2020.
Capital Expenditure
Capital expenditure amounted to $18 million in the first quarter 2021, up 64% compared to the first quarter 2020. This mainly includes integrity works, and for the non-operated Grondin sector, the end of the conversion campaign of well activation from gas-lift to electrical submersible pumps.
Net Income
Net income for the first quarter 2021 balanced at -1 million dollars, mainly thanks to the improved average selling price.
Project to refocus the Company on its operated assets
As of today, discussions are on-going between stakeholders for the disposal project announced on July 30, 2020. The transaction remains subject to the approval of the Gabonese authorities.
