Harmattan Energy Ltd., the operating subsidiary, was acquired by Chevron Corporation in October 2022.
Extensive offshore operations in the licence are expected to commence imminently.
CANADA, CALIMA ENERGY
In 2017 Havoc identified an opportunity to extend the wet gas play fairway in Canada’s prolific Montney Formation. After an initial equity investment into TMK Montney Limited (TMK) via Havoc’s wholly owned subsidiary Calima Energy Jersey Limited (Calima) Havoc then negotiated a farmin agreement to create a JV between TMK and Calima. Havoc then sold Calima to ASX listed Azonto Petroleum. As part of the transaction the Havoc team agreed to provide management and technical services to the company which was renamed as Calima Energy Limited (ASX:CE1).
Calima previously owned and operated over 60,000 acres of drilling and production rights for the Montney Formation in British Columbia. The company proved up the extension to the Montney wet gas play fairway by drilling one vertical and two horizontal wells. Based on these drilling results the Company was able to report that it had ~192 mmboe of 2C Contingent Resources including ~53 mmboe as “development pending” and the balance as “development on hold”. This total included 44.4 mmbbl of associated liquids. In addition, the Calima Montney assets have been estimated to hold 1.7 tcf and 84 mmbbl (condensate and natural gas liquids) of Prospective Resources.
Calima also acquired a network of pipelines and compression facilities with capacity to transfer up to 50 mmcf/d of wet gas and 1,500 bbl/d of wellhead condensate through to the North River Midstream sales line, providing access to the Canadian and US markets to AECO, Alliance and T-North/Station 2. The facilities are in excellent condition with a replacement cost estimated at A$85 mm. Approval to construct and operate a multi-well production facility was granted by the British Columbia Oil and Gas Commission, which included a permit to construct a pipeline to connect the Calima well-pad with regional pipeline and processing infrastructure.
With the commissioning of LNG Canada by SHELL drawing nearer and continued strength in gas prices, the Montney is a strategic area for gas.
In 2021 Calima acquired a private Canadian company called Blackspur. At the time of the transaction Blackspur produced c 2,500 boepd. Calima plans to grow that production in the short term to c. 5,000 boepd and will then evaluate its options to develop the Montney play.
COMOROS, DISCOVER EXPLORATION
Havoc Partners was a seed capital investor in and technical advisor to Bahari Resources Limited a private Channel Islands registered company with oil and gas interests offshore the Comoros Islands. Bahari owned 40% of a Production Sharing Contract covering c. 18,000 km2 (Blocks 35, 36 and 37) which is outboard of and on trend with Rovuma Offshore Areas 1 and 4, in Mozambique. Areas 1 and 4 are operated respectively by Total and Eni SpA and are approaching a combined 175 TCF in place of gas discoveries. Seismic (2D and 3D) acquired by Bahari and its partners indicates the extension of Rovuma basin floor fans continuing into the Comoros PSC licence area.
In 2018 Bahari sold its 40% interest to its JV partner Discover Exploration Limited in exchange for 5% of the enlarged share capital of Discover. Discover is a private equity backed E&P company financed by Carlyle International Energy Partners, a $2.5 billion fund associated with the Carlyle Group.
