Harvest Natural Resources Announces 2013 Second Quarter Results

HOUSTON, Aug. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Harvest Natural Resources, Inc. (NYSE: HNR) today announced 2013 second quarter earnings and provided an operational update.

Harvest reported a second quarter net loss of approximately $4.5 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $6.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the same period last year. 

Petrodelta had net income during the second quarter of $64.8 million, $20.7 million net to Harvest's 32 percent interest, under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), compared to $72.0 million, $23.0 million net to Harvest's 32 percent interest, for the same period last year.  After adjustments to Petrodelta's IFRS earnings, primarily to conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), Harvest's 32 percent share of Petrodelta's earnings was $6.1 million compared to $18.2 million for the same period in 2012.

Highlights for the second quarter of 2013 include:

Venezuela

  • During the second quarter of 2013, Petrodelta drilled and completed four wells and sold approximately 3.5 million barrels of oil (MMBO) for a daily average of approximately 38,211 barrels of oil per day (BOPD), an increase of 5 percent over the same period in 2012
  • Petrodelta's current production rate is approximately 43,000 BOPD and the 2013 expected average production rate is 41,300 BOPD with capital expenditures projected at $210.0 million
  • July 2013 average production rate was approximately 41,600 BOPD

Gabon

  • Progressed planning for a cluster field development
  • Field development options have been evaluated and a field development plan is being prepared 
  • Farmout/sale process has not been concluded

Indonesia

  • Continued work on an exploration program targeting the Pliocene and Miocene targets
  • Land access and acquisition, environmental studies, and tender prequalification and procurement are on-going

VENEZUELA

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, Petrodelta sold approximately 3.5 MMBO for a daily average of 38,211 BOPD, an increase of five percent over the same period in 2012 and three percent over the previous quarter.  Petrodelta also sold 0.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas for a daily average of 6.6 million cubic feet per day.  Petrodelta's current production rate is approximately 43,000 BOPD.

During the second quarter of 2013, Petrodelta drilled and completed four development wells in the El Salto field.  Currently, Petrodelta is operating five drilling rigs and two workover rigs.  A sixth drilling rig is rigging up.  Infrastructure enhancement projects in the El Salto and Temblador fields continue.  A pipeline between the Isleno field and the main production facility at Uracoa has been completed and is in service.

The average sale price for crude oil produced during the quarter was approximately $90.33 per barrel.

EXPLORATION AND OTHER ACTIVITIES

Dussafu Project - Gabon (Dussafu PSC)

Operational activities during the three months ended June 30, 2013, have focused on subsurface and development planning studies.

Results from technical studies on the core and fluid data from the DTM-1 well have been received and incorporated into the reservoir modeling studies of the Tortue reservoirs.  These results have been largely positive, particularly for the Gamba reservoir with better recoveries estimated than originally predicted from the wireline data alone.  These subsurface studies are ongoing to evaluate and optimize development options for the Tortue and existing discoveries in the Dussafu license.

We currently estimate the contingent resources for Tortue to be eight million barrels (MMBBL) in the low case to 55 MMBBL in the high case, with a mean of 28 MMBBL.  We estimate the mean contingent resources for all the oil discoveries on the Dussafu license to be 49 MMBBL.

In conjunction with the subsurface studies, work is continuing with the development planning. The favored development concept is a Floating Production Storage and Offloading installation close to Tortue, with subsea tiebacks to Ruche and Walt Whitman.  Based upon the latest schedule and identified long lead items, the current estimate for production startup is March 2015.  Preliminary meetings were held with the Direction Generale des Hydrocarbures (DGH) in Gabon in July and a field development plan is being prepared.

The Pre-Stack Depth Migration reprocessing of the seismic data over the central and inboard part of the license is now largely complete and technical interpretation of the seismic to generate additional prospects in this part of the license has commenced.  In addition, acquisition of a new 3D seismic survey to target the Dentale potential identified in Tortue over the outboard part of the license, which is currently covered only by 2D, is being considered.

Harvest has engaged Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. to manage a competitive process to farmout a significant portion of its interest in the Dussafu block.  This process has not been concluded.

Budong-Budong PSC - Indonesia

Operational activities during the three months ended June 30, 2013, included continued work on an exploration program targeting the Pliocene and Miocene targets encountered in the previous two wells.  Land access and acquisition; environmental studies; construction and upgrades to access roads, bridges, and well site; permitting; and tender prequalification and procurement are on-going.  In June 2013, the revised 2013 work program and budget for the exploration well was reviewed by SKK Migas, the Special Task Force for oil and gas upstream sector.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

These measures are included due to the significant nature of Petrodelta's earnings to Harvest.  In this press release, Petrodelta's adjusted EBITDA disclosure is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and Petrodelta's financials are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of net income or cash flows from operating activities.  Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it provides additional information with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities as well as our ability to internally fund our future capital expenditures and working capital requirements.  We also believe that financial analysts commonly use adjusted EBITDA to analyze Petrodelta's performance. 

The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, investment earnings, current income taxes and certain non-cash items in the Company's statements of operations, including depreciation, depletion and amortization, accretion of asset retirement obligations, deferred income taxes, certain employee compensation charges and gains or losses from foreign exchange.  Although we present selected items that we consider in evaluating our performance, you should also be aware that the items presented do not represent all items that affect comparability between the periods presented.  Variations in our operating results are also caused by changes in volumes, prices, exchange rates and numerous other factors.  These types of variations are not separately identified in this release, but are discussed, as applicable, in management's discussion and analysis of operating results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income and cash flows from operating activities for the periods presented is included in the tables attached to this release.

This press release may contain projections and other 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. They include estimates and timing of expected oil and gas production, oil and gas reserve projections of future oil pricing, future expenses, planned capital expenditures, anticipated cash flow and our business strategy. All statements other than statements of historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements. Although Harvest believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Actual results may differ materially from Harvest's expectations as a result of factors discussed in Harvest's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other public filings.

Harvest may use certain terms such as resource base, contingent resources, prospective resources, probable reserves, possible reserves, non-proved reserves or other descriptions of volumes of reserves.  These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly, are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by the Company.
