The fair values of the Group's non-current liabilities measured at amortised cost are considered to approximate their carrying amounts at the reporting date; with the exception of the Senior secured notes for which the fair value is set out below.

The carrying value less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and financial liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short term-nature.

 

The fair value hierarchy of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but fair value disclosure is required) is as follows:

(1)  Trade payables and accrued expenses relate primarily to development expenditure on the Karish project, with the main contributors being FPSO and subsea construction costs. Trade payables are non-interest bearing.

 

(2)  In December 2016, the Company acquired the Karish and Tanin leases for US$40 million of up front consideration plus contingent consideration of US$108.5 million (paid over 10 equal instalments) bearing interest at an annual rate of 4.6%. As at 30 September 2022, the total discounted deferred consideration was US$49 million (31 December 2021: US$57million).

The Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") includes provisions in the event of Force Majeure that prevents or delays the implementation of the development plan as approved under one lease for a period of more than ninety (90) days in any year following the final investment decision ("FID") date. In the event of Force Majeure, the applicable annual payment of the remaining consideration will be postponed by an equivalent period of time, and no interest will be accrued in that period of time as well.

  Due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which constitute a Force Majeure event, the deferred payment due in March 2022 was postponed accordingly and payment thereof was made in September 2022  

 

(3)  Amount payable to Technip in respect of the EPCIC contract. The amount is payable in eight equal instalments commencing nine-months following practical completion of the project and therefore has been discounted at 5.831% per annum.

 

(4)  The sales consideration received in advance relates to the agreement with Israel Natural Gas Lines ("INGL") for the transfer of title (the "Hand Over") of the near shore and onshore part of the infrastructure that will deliver gas from the Energean Power FPSO into the Israeli national gas transmission grid. It is intended that the hand over to INGL will become effective at least 90 days after the delivery of first gas from the Karish field, which was achieved on 26 October 2022. Following Hand Over, INGL will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of this part of the infrastructure.

NOTE 6:  SIGNIFICANTS EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD

 

A.  Gas supply agreement with the Israel Electric Company

In March 2022, Energean signed a gas supply agreement with the Israel Electric Company.
The gas price will be determined in each period, with volumes determined on a daily basis.
The agreement is valid for an initial one-year period starting from first gas from Karish, and includes an option to extend subject to ratification by both parties.

 

B.  Share Premium Capital reduction:

In April 2022 the Company reduced its share premium capital by US$360 million and credited US$346 million against the shareholder loan account plus accrued interest.

 

C.  Termination of contract with Gas Buyer

In May 2022, further to the claims raised by the parties in the related arbitration proceedings with Dalia Power Energies LTD ("Dalia") (including the counterclaim filed by the Company seeking a declaration that Company is entitled to terminate the GSPA), Dalia and the Company agreed to end all claims and disputes between the parties. Both sides agreed that the Dalia GSPA (which represented up to 0.8 bcm/year) was lawfully terminated, that the arbitration proceedings were terminated, and that neither party owes or will be liable to the other for any payment in connection with and due to the Dalia GSPA, the arbitration proceedings and the facts subject thereof. This was agreed to be final and unappealable.

 

D.  Contract signed with East Hagit Power Plant

In May 2022, the Company signed a new GSPA, representing up to 0.8 bcm/year, to supply gas to the East Hagit Power Plant Limited Partnership ("EH Partnership"), a partnership between the Edeltech Group and Shikun & Binui Energy. The GSPA is for a term of approximately 15 years, for a total contract quantity of up to 12 bcm. The contract contains provisions regarding floor pricing, offtake exclusivity and a price indexation mechanism (not Brent price linked).

 

E.  Drilling campaign offshore Israel:

The Company started its 2022 drilling campaign in March 2022, which originally included three firm wells. In June 2022, the Company exercised its contractual option to drill two further wells. Subsequently, in October 2022 Energean exercised its option to drill a sixth well, Hercules (located on block 23, offshore Israel), which spudded in November 2022.

 

F.  Athena Gas Discovery

In May 2022, a commercial discovery was made by the Athena exploration well, located in block 12, in the A, B and C sands. Subsequently in November 2022, Energean's reserve auditor, D&M, certified contingent resources of 11.75 bcm in the Athena discovery, an increase of 3.75 bcm on the Company's 8 bcm preliminary estimate.

 

G.  Claim submitted under the Karish-Tanin SPA

  On 31 May 2022, NewMed Energy LP (previously Delek Drilling LP) ("NewMed") filed a lawsuit against the Company before the Tel Aviv District Court. NewMed claimed that the remaining US$48 million (US$65.1 million as of 31 May 2022) of outstanding contingent consideration due under the SPA for the Karish and Tanin leases (see Note 3(E)(2)) plus interest and indexation, should be accelerated. The residual remedy requested is US$10.85 million plus interest and indexation, reflecting the annual payment for the year 2021. The claim is purportedly based on a payment acceleration mechanism set in the SPA, combined with NewMed's rejection of the Company's Force Majeure claim.

 

ENERGEAN ISRAEL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 (Amounts in thousands US Dollars, unless otherwise stated)

 

NOTE 6:  SIGNIFICANTS EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD (Cont.)

 

  In September 2022, the Company paid the annual installment and filed its Statement of Defence with the court. NewMed then filed a Reply in October 2022.

 

H.  The FPSO sailed away from Singapore and arrived on location in Israel on 5 June 2022.

 

J.  Bank Guarantee Facility:

On 8 June 2022 the Company's guarantee facility was extended and amended to a total of NIS355 million instead of NIS250 million. The facility is secured by Energean PLC parent company guarantee of US$112 million. This facility is valid until 30 April 2023.

 

K.  Zone D:

On 27 July 2022, the Company sent a formal notice to the Ministry of Energy notifying the relinquishment of Zone D and discontinuation of related work. As such, the licences subsequently expired on 27 October 2022.

 

 

NOTE 7:  SIGNIFICANTS EVENTS AND TRANSACTIONS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

 

A.  Hermes Gas Discovery:

In October 2022, the Hermes exploration well, block 31, offshore Israel, made a commercial gas discovery. Preliminary estimates indicate that the structure contains 7-15 bcm of recoverable natural gas resources.

 

B.   Liquids Contract:

In October 2022, Energean signed a sale and purchase agreement with Vitol for the marketing of a number of cargoes of Karish blend hydrocarbon liquids. Energean expects, based on analysis of individual well test samples, that the Karish blend will trade at a similar price point to Asgard blend, given the similarity in their characteristics. The realised price will be market price less certain freight, logistics and marketing costs.

 

C.   First gas from Karish:

On 26 October 2022, first gas was delivered at the Karish field, offshore Israel.

 

D.  Zeus Gas Discovery:

In November 2022, the Zeus exploration well, block 12, offshore Israel, made a commercial discovery with preliminary estimates indicating that the structure contains 13.3 bcm of recoverable natural gas resources.

The results from the Zeus well and the Athena post-well analysis provide Energean with additional confidence about the volumes and commerciality of the Olympus area, and the Company is now progressing its field development plan. Energean now has discovered resource volumes of 25 bcm and a further 42 bcm has been de-risked in the Olympus Area. Energean expects to update the market on the total resource volumes within the Olympus area in early 2023. This update will be based upon a Competent Persons Report that is being undertaken by D&M.
