Daily average gas consumption by ENEO by month has ranged between 5.1 and 6.2 mmscfd from 1 January 2019 to 25 June 2019 inclusive, with peak rates during those months ranging between 6.8 and 7.0 mmscfd.

GDC and ENEO are working to finalise a fully termed agreement and payment guarantee to supplement the existing binding term sheet pursuant to which the parties are currently operating.

GDC continues to work closely with ENEO and interested Independent Power Producers, with a view to further establishing itself as an integral part of the growth in demand and supply of electricity to the grid power network in Douala.

Trade Indebtedness

During the Quarter, the Company announced that it had signed a settlement agreement with Weatherfords Services and Rental Ltd and a full and final payment of $1.4 million has been made to extinguish the outstanding debt. In accordance with the settlement, the parties have signed and filed with the relevant court consent orders for the statutory demand to be set aside, which has been approved by the judge, and the court process completed on 5 June 2019.

La-108 remediation & facilities enhancement programme

Planning activities are progressing for the removal of the stuck perforation gun in La-108. The work will be performed using a hydraulic work-over unit. A clean out of the wellbore (tubing and lining) will then be carried out followed by perforation of the Upper Logbaba Sands. The La-108 well will then be tied-back to the existing flowline and the flowline made permanent. Planning and engineering for enhancements to the process plant are also progressing to tie in with the La-108 well remediation. These projects are expected to be carried out in H2 19.
