CAMAC Energy Announces Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2014 Results Provides Operational Update on its West and East Africa Operations
CAMAC Energy Inc. (“CAMAC” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT:CAK) announced
today financial and operational results for the year ended December 31,
2014.
2014 Highlights:
Nigeria
The Oyo field averaged 1,300 barrels of oil per day (bbls/d). Oyo-8 was
successfully drilled to a total depth of 6,059 feet, and encountered
four new oil and gas reservoirs with a total gross hydrocarbon thickness
of 112 feet, based on results from the logging-while-drilling data,
reservoir pressure measurement, and reservoir fluid sampling. The
Company commenced and is near completion of the Oyo field facilities
expansion, which will allow for increased production from the Oyo
development program. Flowlines and other subsea equipment from Oyo-5 and
Oyo-6 were installed and tested on the Oyo-7 and Oyo-8 wells to
facilitate the tie-in of production from the two wells.
CAMAC high-graded four of the prospects in OMLs 120 and 121 to
drill-ready status, which target a combined 2,377 million barrels of
oil, P50 recoverable resources. Three of these prospects will target the
highly-prolific Miocene formation confirmed in the exploration portion
of the previously drilled Oyo-7 development well. The Company plans to
drill the first of these Miocene prospects in 2015 and is in active
discussions with potential farm-in partners.
In December 2014, the Company entered into a contract with a unit of
Transocean Ltd. for the drilling rig Sedco
Express and is currently using this rig to horizontally
complete the Oyo-8 well. The rig will then move to the Oyo-7 location to
commence completion operations on the Oyo-7 well.
Ghana
In April 2014, the Company signed a Petroleum Agreement relating to the
Expanded Shallow Water Tano block located in the Tano Basin offshore
Ghana. CAMAC signed the Joint Operating Agreement with its joint venture
partners in January 2015. The Company has been named operator, holds a
30% interest, and has commenced work towards determining commerciality
of the three previously-discovered fields. Additionally, in light of
recent nearby discoveries and related regional play concepts, CAMAC is
studying possible exploration targets in the block.
Kenya
The Company made good progress in Kenya during 2014. An Environmental
and Social Impact Study was initiated and completed in March 2014.
Subsequently, 2-D seismic was acquired on offshore blocks L27 and L28
and on the onshore blocks L1B and L16. The Company has thus completed
2-D seismic acquisitions covering both offshore blocks, and both onshore
blocks. These four blocks cover a total of nine million acres.
A regional geological and geophysical study on the L27 and L28 offshore
blocks by Robertson Research is also ongoing and expected to be
completed in mid-2015. The Company is currently making plans to acquire
2-D seismic on the offshore portion of block L-16, but has essentially
satisfied the work obligations of the initial exploration period
required by the licence agreement.
Gambia
In April 2014, the Company completed a regional geology and geophysical
study of offshore blocks A2 and A5. CAMAC’s next step is to acquire 3-D
seismic over the most promising areas and has contracted with Polarcus
for the 3-D seismic acquisition. CAMAC is engaged in active discussions
with the government of The Gambia to extend the exploration period of
the licenses, which it believes will be successful, and is also in
discussions with a potential partner to farm-out a portion of its rights
under the licenses.
Results of Operations
For 2014, CAMAC reported a net loss of $96 million, or $0.08 per basic
and diluted share. Revenues were $53.8 million, or $106.41 per barrel,
on average production of 1,300 barrels of oil per day, net of royalties.
There was no production in the fourth quarter 2014 due to the shut-in of
Oyo-5 and Oyo-6 wells in preparation of tying-in Oyo-7 and Oyo-8 wells.
Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2014 was $25.1 million.
Year-End Reserves
The Company’s total net proved oil reserves as of December 31, 2014
increased 6% to 9.1 million barrels (MMbbls), versus 8.5 MMbbls for the
year-end 2013. The PV-10 of the net proved reserves increased 134% to
$237.1 million compared to $101.30 at year-end 2013.
Conference Call
CAMAC will host a conference call today, March 12, 2015 at 10 a.m. CT
(11 a.m. ET) to discuss full year and fourth quarter results,
current operations and the Company’s outlook for 2015. The dial-in

Resource Estimates
This press release refers to prospective resources, including
recoverable resources and resources in place. The Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) permits oil and gas companies, in their
filings with the SEC, to disclose only “reserves,” as that term is
defined under SEC rules. Prospective resources are those quantities of
petroleum estimated, as at a given date, to be potentially recoverable
from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development
projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of
discovery and a chance of development. Investors should not assume there
will be any discovery associated with prospective resources, or that any
discovery will be economically drillable or ever be upgraded into
reserves.
Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than
statements of historical fact, concerning activities, events or
developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or
may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Although
the Company believes the expectations reflected in these forward-looking
statements are reasonable, they involve assumptions, risks and
uncertainties, and these expectations may prove to be incorrect. The
Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated
or implied in these forward-looking statements due to a variety of
factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully finance, drill
and develop the wells and prospects identified in this release and risks
and other risk factors discussed in the Company’s periodic reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking
statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary
statement. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of their respective dates. The Company
