CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REPORT
Dear fellow Shareholders,
The dominant themes of the first half of 2023 were the technical work program
and farm-out process in relation to our AREA OFF-3 licence in Uruguay, ongoing
efforts to reshape and improve our oil production business in Trinidad and
Tobago, and the implications of these two activities on the financial position
of the Company, as reflected in the unaudited interim financial statements for
the half year ended 30 June 2023.
Exploration Acreage in Uruguay - primary focus and near-term value driver
Challenger Energy secured the AREA OFF-1 licence, offshore Uruguay, in May
2020. This was in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, when Uruguay was not yet
on the global industry's radar. At that time, this made us the sole licence
holder in Uruguay.
Since the start of 2022, however, Uruguay has rapidly emerged as a global
exploration "hotspot". This followed directly as a result of sizeable
discoveries made by two global supermajors (TotalEnergies and Shell) from
respective "wildcat" exploration wells drilled offshore Namibia. Those
successful Namibian wells greatly de-risked the presence of a high-quality,
oil-prone source rock and charge, not just in Namibia but on the other side of
the South Atlantic conjugate margin, and in particular in Uruguay's offshore
area, which is the geological "mirror" of where these Namibian discoveries
were made.
As a result, and immediately following these Namibian discoveries, the
industry view on Uruguay changed dramatically. Thus, in the first Uruguayan
bidding round after the Namibian discoveries (May 2022), three licences were
bid on and awarded to majors Shell and APA Corporation (formerly, Apache).
Then, in November 2022, a further two licences were bid on and awarded, one to
a consortium of Shell and APA, and the other to YPF, the Argentinian national
oil company. The new entrants offered significant work program to secure
their licences (as compared to the very modest work program we had bid to
secure AREA OFF-1), and a number of other energy majors also registered to bid
in the two Uruguayan open rounds held in 2022, but were unsuccessful.
These industry developments - globally significant discoveries offshore
Namibia, interest from several majors in Uruguayan offshore acreage, and a
resulting surge in Uruguayan licensing activity - validated our first-mover,
low-cost entry into Uruguay, and confirmed that we had secured highly
prospective frontier acreage, on advantageous terms, and with potential for
considerable near-term value uplift. We thus rapidly moved to prioritise our
Uruguay business through the first half of 2023, and achieved the following:
· First, we undertook an accelerated work program on the Area OFF-1
block (over and above the minimum work obligations), with a view to generating
proprietary intellectual property and upgrading technical knowledge of the
area, specifically in light of the new conjugate margin discoveries. The
program of work included reprocessing of legacy 2D seismic data, advanced
attribute variation with offset (AVO) analysis, seabed geochemical and
satellite seep studies, full reinterpretation and remapping of all data, and
an initial volumetric assessment. This work was largely completed during the
period under review (January - June 2023), and was a resounding success, in
that we have identified three technically robust primary prospects in the AREA
OFF-1 licence area, that in aggregate represent a prospect inventory of
approximately 2 billion barrels (Pmean) and up to 5 billion barrels (P10) -
thus establishing that AREA OFF-1 is a material, world-class asset.
· Second, in view of the fact that taking AREA OFF-1 forward to 3D
seismic acquisition and ultimately exploration well drilling, especially on an
expedited basis, will be a technically demanding and capital-intensive
undertaking, we resolved to seek an industry and funding partner. Thus,
through the first half of 2023, we began preparing for a farm-out process, and
commenced a formal, adviser-led process in June 2023. Since then, this process
has proceeded well, and we have seen a high level of interest form a wide
variety of industry participants. We remain confident that we will succeed in
our effort to secure an industry partner by the end of 2023.
· Finally, we sought ways to expand our presence in Uruguay, given
our developing knowledge base and energy understanding, the excellent working
relationship established with ANCAP, and the attractive conditions in that
country for hydrocarbon industry activity. In furtherance of this objective,
in April 2023 we made an application for another shallow water offshore
exploration block in Uruguay, AREA OFF-3, and in June 2023, we were awarded
the block. AREA OFF-3 was the last available offshore acreage in Uruguay, and
were able to secure it on attractive terms. The block has existing 2D and 3D
seismic coverage, and based on initial assessment an estimated resource
potential of up to ~500 million barrels of oil equivalent ("mmboe") and up to
~9 trillion cubic feet gas ("TCF"), from multiple exploration plays. Formal
signing of the licence is expected by the end of 2023, and once formalised,
our Company will be the second largest acreage holder in Uruguay, with two
high-quality assets in what has fast become a global exploration focus area.
In summary, therefore, the first half of 2023 represented a period of exciting
progress for our operations in Uruguay. We undertook excellent technical work
on AREA OFF-1 that firmly established the block's prospectivity, we moved into
a formal farm-out process for that block which we hope to conclude in the
coming months, and we secured a second high quality block, AREA OFF-3, thus
cementing our long-term position in Uruguay.
Focused Production onshore Trinidad and Portfolio Rationalisation
In August 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Columbus Energy
Resources Plc ("Columbus"), which significantly expanded the Company's
business through the addition of a portfolio of assets in Trinidad and Tobago
and Suriname, including oil fields in active production.
During 2021 and 2022, work focussed on the task of integrating and operating
those assets, "cleaning up" various legacy issues, and seeking to achieve
organic growth in production from the existing onshore fields. However, as I
observed in our last Annual Report, while we have been reasonably successful
on the first two items, we struggled to achieve our objective of organic
production growth. This was because our oil fields are mature, and having
produced oil for many decades they are characterised by depressurised
reservoirs, where the rate at which the remaining resource is produced cannot
easily be increased. Thus, despite our efforts - which have ranged from
application of efficient mature oilfield management practices and field
improvements to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) initiatives and targeted
production enhancement activities - production growth has proved elusive.
On the other hand, what we did observe is that notwithstanding field
maturity, our production performance is reasonably consistent and predictable.
And consequently, in late 2022 we reassessed our Trinidad operations and
decided to focus on areas where we have a competitive advantage. This meant
dividing our Trinidad portfolio in two parts, being "core" - consisting of the
Goudron and Inniss-Trinity fields in south-east Trinidad, which represented
about 85% of our production along with vast majority of resource allocation
(manpower, rigs and so on), and "non-core" - consisting of our assets in
central and south-west Trinidad, and our appraisal block in Suriname.
In relation to those assets considered "core", we continued our focus on
stabilising production, while at the same time looking for ways to increase
production from "new oil" opportunities in and around our core area of
operations in south-east Trinidad, with the following results during 1H 2023:
· core production from the Goudron and Inniss-Trinity fields
averaged approximately 300 barrels of oil per day through the period, almost
exactly the same as in the same period in 2022, and
· With a view to growing production in our primary geographical
area of focus, we bid for the Guayaguayare block, one of the largest onshore
exploration and production blocks in Trinidad (c. 306 km(2)). Our bid for this
block was premised on (i) the fact that it is strategically and operationally
synergistic with the Company's existing presence in south-east Trinidad, (ii)
we see good prospectivity in the block, it being amongst the largest remaining
underexplored / undrained contiguous onshore areas in Trinidad, and (iii) the
block contains approximately 65 historic wells, many of which the Company
believes can be reactivated and serviced from existing operations, thus
offering the opportunity for near-term production uplift at minimal
incremental cost. In May 2023 we were notified that the Government of Trinidad
has authorised the Trinidadian Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries to
enter into negotiations for the potential award of the licence to the Company
- these discussions are ongoing, and we will advise further on completion of
negotiations with MEEI.
In relation to those assets considered "non-core", we began a process to
either monetise or exit from the assets, and made considerable progress during
the first half of 2023. Thus, in Q1 2023 we completed the sale of South Erin
asset, and through the period we continued to advance discussions with the
Trinidadian Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries in relation to the
proposed sale of Cory Moruga asset, which we hope to be able to complete in
the coming months. We also continued to work on similar exit options for the
remaining non-core assets we hold and most recently, in August 2023, we exited
the Weg Naar Zee ("WNZ") block onshore Suriname. The rationalisation of our
portfolio is allowing us to focus fully on those assets of much higher
potential impact, that offer greater scale and opportunity for near-term value
creation from deployment of the same capital.
It is worth noting that our HSE&S performance in this period remained
exemplary with zero LTI or reportable incidents. Following extensive
preparatory work and audit, the Company achieved a two-year STOW-TT ("Safe to
Work in Trinidad & Tobago") certification in 3Q 2021, and through the
first half of 2023 we prepared for the recertification process and audit,
which has now commenced. STOW certification provides a standardised,
independent system for certifying operators and contractors with respect to
Health, Safety and Environmental delivery, which Heritage Petroleum Company
Limited (the state-owned entity) requires of all contractors/operators, and
is a central component of our "licence to operate" in Trinidad.
Therefore, in relation to our Trinidadian operations, the first half of 2023
represented a period of measured progress: core business production was
constant and consistent, we began the process of monetising or exiting form
non-core assets, we were able to advance new business opportunities in support
of growing core business production, and we maintained our excellent
performance track record when it comes to HSE&S. Overall, we continue to
believe that an opportunity exists to create a profitable and growing
production business in Trinidad, but to do this we need to be able to access
"new oil" - that is, either finding places within our existing fields that
have not been drained effectively and drilling new wells, or by getting new
licences, and we saw the first successes in this journey during the first half
of 2023.
Financial Review
The unaudited interim financial statements for the half year ended 30 June
2023 present details on the financial performance of the Company for the
period, to which I add the following commentary, so that shareholders may
better be able to contextualise the figures presented:
· The Company sold approximately 58,000 barrels ("bbls") of oil
during 1H 2023 (1H 2022: approximately 60,900 bbls), equating to approximately
320 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") (1H 2022: 336 bopd). However, the Company
divested its South Erin field in February 2023, resulting in lower oil sales
during 1H 2023 as compared to 1H 2022. Oil sales from the Company's fields
excluding the South Erin field were approximately 56,000 bbls during 1H 2023 -
in comparison, 1H 2022 oil sales excluding the South Erin Field were
approximately 53,800 bbls. In other words, on a like-for-like basis, there was
a 4% increase in barrels of oil sold, reflecting operational efficiencies
achieved as a consequence of the Company's strategy to focus on core assets.
· The Company's revenue for the period was $1.9 million (1H 2022:
$2.7 million). All revenue is attributable to oil sales in Trinidad, net of
Government-take and other deductions and therefore reflect the Company's cash
revenue entitlement from oil sales. This represents a decrease of 30% as
compared to the comparable period in 2022. Again, on a like for like basis
(i.e., excluding the South Erin field), 1H 2023 revenue was approximately $1.8
million compared to $2.3 million in 1H 2022 representing a decrease of
approximately 22% compared to 1H 2022. The reduction in revenue is largely
attributable to approximately 30% lower average realised oil prices in 1H 2023
(of $63.52 per barrel) as compared to $90.50 per barrel in 1H 2022. Oil prices
have since risen in 2H 2023, and we thus expect higher realised oil prices and
revenues during 2H 2023.
· Through the period, the Company's Trinidad business operated on a
roughly "break-even" basis, in that total cash revenues met total cash costs,
which ranged between $275,000 - $325,000 per month, the variance depending on
field activity and the level of workovers, repairs and maintenance required in
response to field performance each month. In an accounting sense however,
certain non-cash charges (including depreciation, abandonment provisions and
accrued interest on outstanding taxes (which the Company does not expect to
crystalise in cash, in view of submissions made during Trinidadian Tax Amnesty
period to offset against refunds due to the Company) are reflected in the
income statement, which give rise to the reported operating loss.
· Excluding Trinidad, the Company's net cash spend during 1H 2023
was approximately $2.3 million. Of this, approximately $1.2 million was in
relation to the Company's AREA OFF-1 licence in Uruguay ($0.5 million retained
as restricted cash collateral for the work program performance bond, and the
balance of $0.7 million spent on accelerated and expanded technical work
program as described earlier in this report). The remainder $1.1 million
largely reflects the Company's corporate overheads and miscellaneous expenses,
reflecting a corporate overhead run rate ranging between $175,000 and $200,000
per month.
Cash Position & Funding
In March 2022, in conjunction with completion of a comprehensive corporate
restructuring, the Company raised approximately US$10 million, which was at
that time "sized" for approximately 12 months of future operations. However,
as a result of prudent management of capital, a significant reduction in
corporate overheads, and the sale of identified non-core assets, the Company
did not require any additional external funding during the first half of 2023,
and ended the period with available cash of $1.6 million.
Subsequently, in August 2023, the Company established a £3.3 million
unsecured convertible loan note funding facility (the "Facility") to provide
financing flexibility for various initiatives being pursued by the Company as
well as to bridge working capital needs through to delivery of a number of
cash generative options in the near-term, including those that may result from
a successful Area OFF-1 farm-out process, and those anticipated from
completion of the sale of the Cory Moruga asset in Trinidad.
In addition, the Company has approximately $0.8 million in restricted cash,
being cash held as collateral in support of performance bonds for the various
assets - notably, this includes $0.5 million in support of minimum work
obligations for the Company's AREA OFF-1 licence offshore Uruguay which have
largely been satisfied.
Strategic Direction
In Uruguay, our early entry has transformed from being little more than
"option value" to being a near-term opportunity for substantial
value-creation. Looking ahead, the focus for the balance of 2023 in Uruguay is
unambiguously on securing a farm-out partner for the AREA OFF-1 block, such
that we can expedite future technical work program on the block and in
particular a 3D seismic acquisition - we see this as the path to significant
near-term value creation for shareholders.
In Trinidad the focus for the remainder of 2023 will be to continue the work
of the last two years: maintain current production, drive improved financial
performance, dispose of remaining non-core assets, and seek to strategically
access "new oil" opportunities so as to expand the production base and create
a bigger, more sustainable business.
As a significant shareholder myself - I now hold over 6% of the Company - I am
fully aligned with all shareholders, and I remain optimistic about the
prospects of Challenger Energy. We will continue to work diligently towards
delivering on our objectives, and I am confident that eventually the equity
market will pay attention and reward the value we are creating.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE INTERIM PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis,
except for the measurement of certain assets and financial instruments at fair
value as described in the accounting policies below.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, refer to
the Going Concern section below for more details.
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars ($) and all
values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($'000) unless otherwise
stated.
Basis of consolidation
The financial statements incorporate the results of the Company and its
subsidiaries (the "Group") using the acquisition method. Control is achieved
where the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns
through its power over the entity.
Inter-company transactions and balances between Group companies are eliminated
in full.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of
subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used in line with those used by
the Group.
Going Concern
The Group had incurred a comprehensive loss of $1.3 million for the half year
ended 30 June 2023 and the Group's current liabilities exceeded current assets
by approximately $2.9 million as of 30 June 2023. At 30 June 2023 the CEG
Group had approximately $1.6 million in unrestricted cash funding and
approximately a further $0.8 million in restricted cash holdings in support of
performance guarantees for the various licences including the minimum work
obligations in Uruguay ($0.5 million) for which the work has been
substantially completed as at the date of this report.
On 30 August 2023 the Group announced establishment of a £3.3 million
convertible loan note funding facility of which £0.55 million has initially
been drawn down, with future drawdown of the remainder at the Group's option,
subject to certain drawdown conditions. This facility provides the Group with
cash resources to cover the funding requirements of the Group and bridge any
funding gaps over the course of the next 12 months.
In addition, The Group has several high-probability sources of cash inflows
expected over the next 12 months to enable the Group to continue as a going
concern for the foreseeable future. These include:
1. Contracted proceeds from sale of Cory Moruga licence in
Trinidad.
In December 2022, the Group announced the sale of Cory Moruga licence onshore
Trinidad and Tobago for a consideration of up to US$3 million of which US$1
million is payable upon completion, US$1 million in six months from completion
and a further US$1 million contingent upon Cory Moruga field achieving 100
barrels of oil per day production. Cory Moruga licence is presently a dormant
licence with previously discovered and tested oil resource. The sale is fully
documented and not subject to any conditions to completion other than consent
from the Trinidadian Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries ("MEEI"), which
remains outstanding. The Group, in conjunction with the acquirer, have been in
discussions with MEEI and anticipates consent being obtained and completion of
the sale transaction by the end of 2023. A successful completion would result
in the Group receiving US$2 million in cash consideration within six months
from completion.
2. Potential inflows from successful farm-out of the AREA OFF-1
licence in Uruguay.
The Group has been in discussions with various industry participants in
relation to potential farm-out / partnership options for the AREA OFF-1
licence in Uruguay. In June 2023, a formal adviser-led process was commenced
with the objective of securing an industry partner to farm-out the AREA OFF-1
licence by the end of 2023. In the event of a successful farm-out, the Group
expects certain upfront cash consideration, consistent with typical
transactions of this nature in the international oil and gas industry. The
Group is confident that a farm-out transaction can be successfully achieved in
this timeframe, because (i) multiple high-quality energy majors are presently
engaged in the farm-out process, undertaking due diligence as at the date of
this report; (ii) the Group's technical work to-date has resulted in
identification and definition of three prospects with an estimated recoverable
resource of approximately 2 billion barrels (Pmean) and up to 5 billion
barrels in an upside case (P10) establishing that AREA OFF-1 is a high-quality
asset of scale, material to any player in the global industry, and (iii) the
Directors consider successful completion of the farm-out process to be highly
probable in light of the recent industry developments - namely significant
offshore discoveries in Namibia (Uruguay is considered to be geological mirror
of the offshore Namibia basins), and substantial industry interest in offshore
Uruguay acreage in the past 12 months, evidenced by licencing activity in the
recent Uruguayan licencing rounds that has resulted in all available acreage
now having been awarded to industry majors (Shell, APA Corporation and YPF)
along with several other interested global oil majors not securing any
acreage.
3. Sale of other non-core assets
The Group is also in discussions in relation to the potential sale of other
non-core assets in its portfolio. A successful completion of any transaction
of this nature would result in the Group receiving cash consideration, thus
increasing its available cash resources.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE INTERIM PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
(CONTINUED)
1 Basis of preparation (continued)
Going Concern (continued)
In addition to the above, the Director notes that the Group is a publicly
listed company on a recognised stock exchange, thus affording the ability to
raise capital equity, debt and/or hybrid financing alternatives as and when
the need arises. The Group has a robust track record in this regard, having
raised in excess of US$100 million in equity and alternative financing in the
past five years. Based on the Group's attractive asset portfolio and history
of capital raising, the Directors are of the view that if required (i.e., in
the event sources of cash inflows discussed above do not materialise as and
when expected) the Group will be able to source fresh capital on short notice.
As such, the Director has prepared the financial statements on a going concern
basis and consider it to be reasonable.
2 Other income and Finance income
Other income and Finance income predominantly comprise discounts secured from
the Group's historical creditors and a secured financier, as part of
negotiated settlements agreed pursuant to the Group's restructuring and
recapitalisation exercise.
3 Turnover and segmental analysis
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed
by the Board of Directors that are used to make strategic decisions. The Board
has determined there is a single operating segment: oil and gas exploration,
development and production. However, there are four geographical segments:
Trinidad & Tobago & Suriname including a single operating segment and
a separate disposal group for the period ended 30 June 2023 (refer to note 7),
The Bahamas (operating), Uruguay (operating) and The Isle of Man, UK, Spain,
Saint Lucia, Cyprus, Netherlands & USA (all non-operating).
The segment including Trinidad & Tobago has been reported as the Group's
direct oil and gas producing and revenue generating operating segment. The
Bahamas segment includes the Bahamian exploration licences on which drilling
activities were conducted in 2020 and 2021. The Uruguay segment includes the
exploration licences and appraisal works which have commenced in 2022. The
non-operating segment including the Isle of Man (the Group's parent), which
provides management service to the Group and entities in Saint Lucia, Cyprus,
Spain, the Netherlands, and the U.S.A. all of which are non-operating in that
they either hold investments, or are dormant. Their results are consolidated
and reported on together as a single segment. As part of an ongoing group wide
rationalisation plan there is an ongoing process to wind up a number of
companies in the Group in Spain, Cyprus and the USA.

7 Discontinued operations
At balance sheet date the following asset sale is considered to be active and
highly probable of taking place:
Sale of T-Rex (Cory Moruga asset):
On 20 December 2022 the Company announced that it had entered into a binding
heads of terms with Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc, providing for the
conditional sale of the Company's interest in the non-producing Cory Moruga
licence in Trinidad though the sale of 100% of the share capital in T-Rex
Resources (Trinidad) Limited (TREX), with retention of 25% future back-in
right (at the Company's option) based on the outcomes of future drilling / EOR
activity and associated future production.
Subsequently, on 8 March 2023 confirmed that the confirmatory due diligence
process was finalised and both parties had entered into fully termed long form
legal documentation.
The completion of the Transaction is conditional on consent of
the Trinidadian Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries ("MEEI") to a
revised work programme for the Cory Moruga licence and restructuring of
certain licence terms. The parties have agreed to work together to secure the
required consents and agreements with MEEI and thus achieve completion of the
Transaction as soon as reasonably practicable.
Accordingly, T-Rex Resources (Trinidad) Limited continues to form a separate
disposal group and has been classified as assets held of sale at 30 June 2023.
The results for this disposal group are presented below:

8 Trade and other payables
The trade and other payables (including accruals) include dues, amounting to
approximately $2.5 million in aggregate, that are considered to be of a
routine working capital nature, and that are being settled in the ordinary
course of business and / or under certain agreed payment plans. The remainder
of trade and other payables include:
i) approximately $3.2 million is in respect of taxes in
Trinidad and Tobago that the Group expects to settle by way of offset against
tax refunds due to the Group in Trinidad and Tobago ($1.4 million, included
under 'Trade and other receivables'). The balance amount relates to a notional
estimate of penalties that apply in accordance with the tax laws in Trinidad
and Tobago - as at the date of this report these are notional estimates only
and have not been levied or assessed, and the Group does not expect that they
will be levied or assessed and that ultimately no cash payment will be
required as the Group had claimed the benefit of a tax amnesty during the 2021
tax amnesty period implemented by the Trinidad and Tobago tax authorities,
with the final resolution of this matter remaining pending; and
ii) approximately $2.6 million is in respect of
various other dues comprising, i) $0.5 million is in respect of potential
insurance "top-up" exposure, due to the ultimate cost of the Perseverance-1
well in The Bahamas exceeding the initial estimated cost - however, as at the
date of this report, the matter remains pending resolution with the insurers,
ii) $0.6 million is in respect of accrued licence fee which the Group expects
to offset against $0.5 million refundable advances (included in trade and
other receivables) resulting in no material incremental cash exposure to the
Group, iii) $0.4 million in advances towards a work programme undertaken by a
third-party for which a settlement agreement has been reached as part of the
sale of Cory Moruga asset (pending completion) resulting in no cash exposure
to the Group, and iv) $1.1 million in relation to legacy accruals recognised
in the financial statements which the Group does not expect to crystalise for
a foreseeable future and expects to be written-back following lapse of the
relevant statute of limitation period.
