ANNOUNCEMENT
The Board hereby announces certain selected unaudited key operational statistics of the Group for the third quarter of 2021 (ended 30 September 2021). The comparative statistics of the Group for the third quarter of 2020 (ended 30 September 2020) are also disclosed in this announcement.
The board of directors of CNOOC Limited (the “Company”) (the “Board”) hereby announces certain selected unaudited key operational statistics of the Company and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) for the third quarter of 2021 (ended 30 September 2021). The comparative statistics of the Group for the third quarter of 2020 (ended 30 September 2020) are also disclosed in this announcement.
The Company achieved a total net production of 144.1 million barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 9.9% year over year (“YoY”). Production from China increased by 13.0% YoY to 100.1 million BOE, mainly attributable to production growth from the commencement of new projects including Caofeidian 6-4 oilfield, Luda 21-2 oilfield and the production growth from onshore unconventional gas fields. Overseas production increased by 3.2% YoY to 43.9 million BOE.
For the third quarter of 2021, the Company made nine new discoveries and successfully appraised 13 oil and gas structures. In offshore China, a large-sized commercial discovery was made in the Kenli 10-2 structure with 100 million tons oil and gas proved in-place volume. A proved in-place volume of over 10 million tons was made in the Bozhong 28-1 structure. Baodao 21-1 structure was appraised with a positive progress. In overseas, three new discoveries were made in the Stabroek block in Guyana, namely Whiptail, Pinktail and Turbot-2.
In terms of development and production, six new projects commenced production in the third quarter, which are Luda 29-1 oilfield, Liuhua 21-2 oilfield, Luda 6-2 oilfield, Bozhong 26-3 oilfield expansion project, Qinhuangdao/Caofeidian onshore power project and Bozhong 19-4 oilfield adjustment project.
The unaudited oil and gas sales revenue of the Company reached approximately RMB58.03 billion for the third quarter of 2021, representing an increase of 63.3% YoY, mainly due to combined effects of the increase in international oil and gas prices, and the increased oil and gas sales volume. During the quarter, the Company’s average realised oil price increased by 63.6% YoY to US$70.38 per barrel, which is in line with the trend of international oil prices. The Company’s average realised gas price increased by 21.0% YoY to US$7.08 per thousand cubic feet, mainly attributable to the higher realised gas prices in China and overseas.
For the third quarter of 2021, the Company’s capital expenditure increased by 13.8% YoY to approximately RMB20.94 billion, which was mainly due to the increase in workload YoY.
