This presentation provides an executive summary of Premier Oil's performance and outlook:
1. Premier is delivering on its short-term targets of above-budget production and lower costs, while progressing major projects like Solan and Catcher on schedule.
2. The company is focused on debt reduction through strong cash flow from lower-cost production and hedging benefits over the next two years.
3. Premier is advancing its key growth projects of Solan, Catcher and Sea Lion, with first oil from Solan expected by year-end and from Catcher in 2017.

Premier Oil Annual Result 2016 Press ReleaseOILWIRE
2016 continued to provide a challenging macro-economic environment. Against this backdrop, however, operational performance remained strong with production for the full year averaging 71.4 kboepd and averaging more than 80kboepd during Q4 2016. This increase was driven by the successful completion of the acquisition of the E.ON portfolio and first oil from the Solan field. We continue to actively manage operating costs which, at $15.8/bbl, are below what had been budgeted for the year, benefitting from tight cost control, a weakened GBP exchange rate and high operating efficiency of over 90 per cent across the portfolio.
In addition, during 2016 we commenced discussions with our lending groups on the terms of our existing finance facilities. In February 2017 we reached an agreement in principle with our lender groups on revised terms. The revised terms include amendments to our financial covenants, deferral of final maturity dates to May 2021 and beyond and a margin uplift on interest payable to the lenders. The process of finalising the revised refinancing and implementation documents is ongoing and completion of the refinancing is expected by the end of May 2017. Once finalised, the agreed terms will give Premier sufficient liquidity to operate in the current oil price environment, deliver our sanctioned projects and to continue to invest in the wider business at appropriate levels of equity interests.
Eni: second quarter and first half of 2016 resultsEni
Claudio Descalzi, Eni’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“Eni has achieved significant results in the first half of 2016, despite the weak but slowly improving market environment. Hydrocarbon production beat expectations, offsetting the suspension of activity in Val d’Agri and the disruptions in Nigeria. Our main developments are proceeding on time and on budget, allowing us to confirm our expected production growth of more than 5% in 2017. Our exploration, which is focused on near field activity, has allowed us to revise upwards our expectations for new discoveries in just six months. In mid and downstream, we have achieved positive results across all of our operations due to restructuring and efficiency measures which will continue as planned. Our strategy, including the optimization initiatives and a reduced cost base, has allowed us to absorb part of the impact of a low oil price scenario with a positive contribution of €1 billion to EBIT. We are maintaining our strong balance sheet, funding capex with our cash flow at a Brent price of 50$/bl. On this basis I will propose an interim dividend of €0.40 per share to the Board.”
Aker BP Fourth Quarter Financial Results Q4 2016 - PresentationOILWIRE

This presentation was part of an online webinar targeted toward Oilfield Services (OFS) businesses. It gives a clear picture of the current state of the OFS industry as well as a forecast for the future, including strategies for taking advantage of forthcoming opportunities and potential challenges OFS operators may face. It also provides an overview of MNP LLP's Oilfield Services team and the assistance we can provide.
Tullow Oil Plc - 2016 Annual Report and AccountsOILWIRE
Exploration remains fundamental to Tullow's growth strategy. Lower industry costs, carries for our share of costs by JV partners and appropriate equity interests enable us to maximise a constrained budget and maintain a meaningful exploration and appraisal programme.
In 2017, Tullow plans to drill the exciting Araku prospect offshore Suriname and conduct seismic campaigns in Mauritania, Kenya, Ghana, Jamaica, Uruguay and Guyana.
