The Group's consolidated sales for the first half of 2016 amounted to €142 million, compared to €158 million for the same period in 2015. This 10% decline was due to the drop in oil prices (sale price down by 27% at $39.2/bbl versus $53.5/bbl in the first half of 2015). The quality discount between Brent and Rabi Light was $2.21/bbl in Q2 2016 versus $3.45/bbl in Q1 2016 and $4.45/bbl in Q4 2015. This improvement is part of a perspective of balancing supply and demand in the global oil industry and promises an oil price rise in the coming months.

Oil output rose by 22% to 21,169 bopd for Maurel & Prom's share, while gas delivered in Tanzania averaged 23.7 MMcf/d in the first half of 2016, taking Maurel & Prom's share of total production to 25,144 boepd versus 17,581 boepd in the first half of 2015.

In Gabon, the pipeline operator carried out further reinforcement work in March on the 12" routing line between the Coucal station and the junction with the 18" pipeline. As a result, production was limited between 13 March and 5 April 2016. It gradually picked up to average 27,744 bopd (at 100%) in the second quarter of 2016, or 22,195 bopd for M&P's share, versus 19,910 bopd in the first quarter of 2016, a quarter-on-quarter rise of 11%.

In Tanzania, Maurel & Prom, as operator, supplied an average of 49 million cubic feet per day (100%). Gas deliveries depend on demand from the national company, TPDC.
