Endeavour International Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – General
Endeavour International Corporation (a Nevada corporation formed in 2000) is an independent oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of energy reserves. Our goal is to become a leading upstream company with an exploration focus primarily in the North Sea. We strive to achieve this position through acquisitions, licensing rounds and exploration drilling.
As used in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms “Endeavour”, “we”, “us”, “our” and similar terms refer to Endeavour International Corporation and, unless the context indicates otherwise, its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Endeavour should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These accounting principles require management to use estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management reviews its estimates, including those related to the determination of proved reserves, estimates of future dismantlement costs, income taxes and litigation. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in these financial statements.
Management believes that it is reasonably possible the following material estimates affecting the financial statements could change in the coming year: (1) estimates of proved oil and gas reserves, (2) estimates as to the expected future cash flow from proved oil and gas properties, (3) estimates of future dismantlement and restoration costs, (4) estimates of fair values used in purchase accounting and (5) estimates of the fair value of derivative instruments.
Loss Per Share
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share includes the effect of our outstanding stock options, warrants and shares issuable pursuant to convertible debt and certain stock incentive plans under the treasury stock method, if including these instruments is dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, 66.2 million and 66.2 million, respectively, common shares potentially issuable under our warrants, convertible debt and certain stock incentive plans were excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding as their effects were anti-dilutive (i.e., increased the net income per share). For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, 17.2 million common shares potentially issuable under our warrants, convertible debt and certain stock incentive plans were excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding as their effects were anti-dilutive.
New Accounting Developments
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new interpretation that seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. This new interpretation also provides guidance on classification, derecognition, interest, penalties and accounting in interim periods and also requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. The interpretation was effective for us as of January 1, 2007. Our adoption of this standard on January 1, 2007 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
Note 2 – Stock-Based Compensation Arrangements
We grant restricted stock and stock options, including notional restricted stock and options, to employees and directors as incentive compensation. The notional restricted stock and options may be settled in cash or stock upon vesting at our option; however, it has been our practice to settle in stock. The restricted stock and options generally vest over three years and the options

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
have a five-year term. The vesting of these shares and options is dependent upon the continued service of the grantees with Endeavour. Upon the occurrence of a change in control, each outstanding share of restricted stock and stock option will immediately vest. For the third quarter of 2007, we included non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.8 million and $0.5 million in general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses and capitalized G&A expenses, respectively. For the third quarter of 2006, we included non-cash stock-based compensation of $2.2 million and $1.0 million in G&A expenses and capitalized G&A expenses, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we included non-cash stock–based compensation of $2.7 million and $1.6 million in G&A expenses and capitalized G&A expenses, respectively. At September 30, 2007, total compensation costs related to awards not yet recognized was approximately $8.8 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of less than two years.
Stock Options
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on an average of historical volatility of common stock prices of Endeavour and our peer companies where there is a lack of relevant Endeavour volatility information for the length of the expected term. The expected term is the average of the vesting period and the term of the option. We use historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for the expected term is the yield on the zero-coupon U.S. treasury security with a term comparable to the expected term of the option. We do not include an estimated dividend yield since we have not paid dividends on our common stock historically.
The estimated fair value of each option granted was calculated using the Black-Scholes model. The following table summarizes the weighted average of the assumptions used in the method.

Restricted Stock
At September 30, 2007, our employees and directors held 4.2 million restricted shares of our common stock that vest over service periods of up to three years. The restricted stock awards were valued based on the closing price of our common stock on the measurement date, typically the date of grant. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the restricted share vesting period.

Note 3 – Acquisitions and Dispositions
Acquisition of Talisman Expro Limited
On November 1, 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Talisman Expro Limited for $366 million, after purchase price adjustments and expenses (the “Talisman Acquisition”). As a result of the Talisman Acquisition, we acquired interests in certain fields in the United Kingdom (“UK”) sector of the North Sea.
The following is a preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the Talisman Acquisition:
| | | | |
(Amounts in thousands) | | | | |
Purchase price | | $ | 359,594 | |
Legal, accounting and other direct expenses | | | 6,051 | |
|
Total purchase price | | $ | 365,645 | |
|
| | | | |
Allocation of purchase price: | | | | |
Current assets | | $ | 26,086 | |
Property and equipment | | | 209,534 | |
Goodwill | | | 263,957 | |
Current liabilities | | | (23,940 | ) |
Deferred tax liability | | | (85,103 | ) |
Other long-term liabilities | | | (24,889 | ) |
|
| | | | |
| | $ | 365,645 | |
|
The purchase price allocation is based on a preliminary assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Talisman Acquisition. The assessment of the fair values of oil and gas properties acquired was based on projections of expected future net cash flows, discounted to present value. Other assets and liabilities were recorded at their historical book values, which we believe represent the best current estimate of fair value. These estimates are subject to change as additional information becomes available and is assessed by Endeavour. We expect to finalize the allocation by the end of 2007.
The following table sets forth unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial and operating data, which are presented to give effect to the Talisman Acquisition as if it had occurred as of January 1, 2006. The information does not purport to be indicative of actual results or of future results.

Note 6 – Derivative Instruments
Commodity derivatives
From time to time, we may utilize derivative financial instruments with respect to a portion of our oil and gas production or a portion of our variable rate debt to achieve a more predictable cash flow by reducing our exposure to price fluctuations. These transactions are likely to be swaps, collars or options and to be entered into with major financial institutions or commodities trading institutions. Derivative financial instruments are intended to:
| • | | reduce our exposure to declines in the market prices of crude oil and natural gas that we produce and sell; |
|
| • | | reduce our exposure to increases in interest rates; and |
|
| • | | manage cash flows in support of our annual capital expenditure budget. |
During 2006, we had an oil commodity swap that was accounted for as a hedge where we paid market (IPE Brent) and received a fixed price. For the third quarter of 2006, we incurred a loss of $1.7 million as a reduction to revenue related to settlements for this contract.
In connection with the Talisman Acquisition, we entered into various oil and gas derivative instruments to stabilize cash flows from the acquired assets and satisfy certain obligations under the financing agreements that funded the acquisition. Hedge accounting has not been elected for these instruments and during the third quarter of 2007, we recorded $13.0 million in other expense related to the net unrealized losses for these instruments. In addition, we realized $0.3 million in gains on the settlement of instruments that closed during the third quarter of 2007. The fair market value of these derivative instruments is included in our balance sheet as follows:

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies
Rig Commitments
In 2006, we joined with several other operators in the Norwegian Continental Shelf to form a consortium that has entered into a contract for the use of a drilling rig over a multi-year period. The contract commits us to 100 days (for two wells) for drilling services by a semi-submersible drilling rig for $38 million between mid 2008 and 2009.
In the second quarter of 2006, we entered into a rig commitment for 220 days over a one-year period beginning in May 2007 for the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea. The arrangement with Applied Drilling Technology International, a division of GlobalSantaFe, is for a heavy-duty harsh environment jack-up suitable for most drilling activities we will operate in 2007 and 2008. The initial obligation under this contract was $66 million. In January 2007, a $22 million escrow payment was made under the rig commitment. This escrow payment is included in “Restricted cash” on our Balance Sheet. The escrow will be released in the final two months of the commitment, which we currently anticipate to be complete by 2009. During the first nine months of 2007, we utilized 73 days of this rig commitment to drill the Balgownie and

Emu prospects. We expect to utilize the remaining 147 days of this commitment beginning in the third quarter of 2008 through 2009 depending on well scheduling.
Contingencies
Hess Limited, the operator of the AH001 facility, supporting production from Ivanhoe, Rob Roy, Hamish (collectively, IVRRH), Renee and Rubie fields has advised us that there has been a mis-measurement of the volumes of oil produced from the IVRRH fields. At this time, the magnitude of the mis-measurement to Endeavour has not been determined.

Item 2: | | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Endeavour,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean Endeavour International Corporation or any of our consolidated subsidiaries or partnership interests. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. The following discussion also includes non-GAAP financial measures, which may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, we strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.
Overview
We are an international oil and gas exploration and production company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of energy reserves. Since focusing our operations in the North Sea in February 2004, we have established an exploration portfolio with prospects in the United Kingdom and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea. To date, we have invested a significant amount of our resources on various development, acquisition and exploration projects. We intend to continue to allocate a significant portion of our capital to these projects.
16
Endeavour International Corporation
Production for the third quarter was approximately 9,700 barrels of oil equivalent (“BOE”) per day as compared to approximately 1,350 BOE per day in the same period in 2006. The significant increase reflects the contribution of both the Talisman Acquisition, discussed below, and the initial production from the Enoch field. As a result, revenue showed similar growth from $22.8 million in the first nine months of 2006 to $121.6 million in the same period of 2007. Operating expenses, DD&A expense and interest expense also grew as a result of the increased production and the funding for the Talisman Acquisition. Even with the substantial growth in production, net income can be significantly affected by various non-cash items, such as unrealized gains and losses on our commodity derivatives, currency impact of long-term liabilities and deferred taxes. We had a net loss to common shareholders for the nine months of 2007 of $30.7 million or $0.25 per diluted share as compared to loss of $2.1 million or $0.03 per diluted share for the same period in 2006. The trends for the respective third quarter of 2007 and 2006 are similar to the trends for the nine-month periods.
Given the significant impact that non-cash items may have on our net income, we use various financial measures in addition to net income, non-financial performance indicators and non-GAAP measures as key metrics to manage our business. These key metrics demonstrate the company’s ability to maintain or grow production levels and reserves, internally fund capital expenditures and service debt as well as provide comparisons of oil and gas exploration and production companies that exclude non-operating fluctuations in assets and liabilities. These measures include, among others, debt and cash balances outstanding, production levels, oil and gas reserves, drilling results, discretionary cash flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted net income. Net loss as adjusted for the nine months of 2007 would have been $2.7 million or $0.02 per share without the effect of derivative transactions and currency impacts on balance sheet items as compared to net loss as adjusted of $10.2 million or $0.13 per share in the same period of 2006. EBITDA increased to $92.3 million in the nine months of 2007 from a loss of $1.1 million in the nine months of 2006. Discretionary cash flow was $79.4 million in the nine months of 2007 compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 2006. This significant increase in discretionary cash flow allowed us to repay $40 million in debt while spending $63 million in capital expenditures for the nine months of 2007. At September 30, 2007, we held $15.8 million in cash and another $22.0 million in restricted cash, under our escrow for drilling commitments, compared to $39.8 million in cash and $1.9 million in restricted cash at the end of 2006.
The Acquisition
On November 1, 2006, we completed the Talisman Acquisition for $366 million, after purchase price adjustments and expenses. As a result of the Talisman Acquisition, we acquired interests in certain producing fields in the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea and over seven million BOE of proved reserves as of the closing date. The Talisman Acquisition was financed in four parts:
| • | | 37.8 million shares of common stock in the fourth quarter of 2006 for $89 million in gross proceeds; |
|
| • | | 125,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for $125 million in gross proceeds; |
17
Endeavour International Corporation
| • | | $150 million in a borrowing base debt facility, before financing costs paid of $3.2 million; and |
|
| • | | $75 million in a second lien term loan, before financing costs paid of $2.6 million. |
Results of Operations
Our revenues are sensitive to changes in prices received for our products. Our production is sold at prevailing market prices that fluctuate in response to many factors that are outside of our control. Given the current tightly balanced supply-demand market, small variations in either supply or demand, or both, can have dramatic effects on prices we receive for our oil and natural gas production. While the market price received for oil and natural gas varies among geographic areas, oil trades in a worldwide market, whereas natural gas, which has a limited global transportation system, is subject to local supply and demand conditions. Consequently, price movements for all types and grades of crude oil generally move in the same direction, while natural gas price movements have historically followed local market conditions. The majority of our natural gas is sold in the UK market. UK natural gas prices are influenced by European natural gas markets, liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) supply and new Norwegian gas supply. With the advent of more LNG facilities, natural gas price movements will also become more global in nature with a likely convergence between European and North American markets.
For the third quarter of 2007 and 2006, we had production of 893,567 BOE and 124,513 BOE, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we had production of 2,512,883 BOE and 412,792 BOE, respectively. This increase reflects production resulting from the assets acquired in the Talisman Acquisition. The following table shows our average sales volumes, sales prices and average production costs for the periods presented.

on the mark-to-market of our commodity derivatives that were not accounted for as hedges with no gain or loss for the same period in 2006. In the third quarter of 2007, we realized $0.3 million in gains on the settlement of commodity derivatives, compared to $1.7 million in losses for the same period in 2006. In the third quarter of 2007, we also recognized $13.0 million in losses on the mark-to-market of our commodity derivatives versus a gain of $20.5 million for the same period in 2006.
As of September 30, 2007, our outstanding commodity derivatives covered approximately 60% of our anticipated production for the remainder of 2007.
Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2007 as compared to $2.6 million in the third quarter of 2006. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, operating expenses increased to $30.0 million as compared to $7.7 million for the same period in 2006. The increase was due to the effect of the Talisman Acquisition. Operating costs per BOE decreased from $20.52 per BOE in the third quarter of 2006 to $10.68 per BOE in the third quarter of 2007, and from $18.68 per BOE for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 to $11.93 per BOE for the nine months ended September, 30, 2007. These decreases were primarily due to the full year impact of the lower operating costs per BOE for our acquired UK properties.
Impairment of oil and gas properties of $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2006 represents the final abandonment and rig demobilization costs incurred on the Turriff well that was determined to be unsuccessful in the fourth quarter of 2005.
G&A expenses decreased to $4.1 million during the third quarter of 2007 as compared to $5.4 million for the corresponding period in 2006. G&A expenses decreased to $14.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $16.2 million for the corresponding period in 2006. These decreases resulted from changes in non-cash stock-based compensation as a result of the final vesting of inducement grants given in 2004 upon the formation of Endeavour and current year forfeitures. The decreases were partially offset by increases resulting from compensation expense, legal and tax consulting fees and occupancy costs. The compensation expense increase reflects additional payroll taxes and salary expense related to increases in staffing. Occupancy costs increased due to additional rental space related to the staffing increase, while property acquisitions furthered the increase in legal and tax consulting fees. Components of G&A expenses for these periods are as follows:

After the closing of our acquisition of the Enoch field and the Talisman Acquisition in the UK in 2006, our income tax expense relates primarily to operations in the UK and Norway. During
21
Endeavour International Corporation
2007, we incurred taxes in all of the jurisdictions in which we do business, except for the United States (U.S.), whereas in 2006, we incurred taxes only on our Norwegian operations. After closing the Talisman Acquisition, we began recording tax expense (benefit) for our UK operations and removed the valuation allowances previously recorded. The change in income taxes from an expense of $7.4 million to an expense of $1.8 million for the nine months of 2006 and 2007, respectively, is primarily the result of the establishment of a tax paying position in the UK upon closing the acquisitions and the effect of foreign currency changes on the deferred tax liabilities.
In 2007 and 2006, we have not recorded any income tax benefits in the U.S. as there was no assurance that we could generate any U.S. taxable earnings, resulting in a full valuation allowance of deferred tax assets generated. In addition, we have not recorded any income tax benefits in the UK or The Netherlands during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as there was no assurance that we could generate any taxable earnings, resulting in full valuation allowances.
As our deferred tax liabilities in the UK, The Netherlands and Norway are denominated in their respective currencies, we revalue those deferred tax liabilities to the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at the end of each period. Those foreign currency gains and losses are included in income tax expense as shown above.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
As required under Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, provided below are reconciliations of net income (loss) to the following non-GAAP financial measures: net income as adjusted, EBITDA and discretionary cash flow. The company uses these non-GAAP measures as key metrics for the management of the company and to demonstrate the company’s ability to internally fund capital expenditures and service debt. The non-GAAP measures are useful in comparisons of oil and gas exploration and production companies as they exclude non-operating fluctuations in assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by (used in) Operating Activities | | $ | 95,189 | | | $ | (9,397 | ) |
|
Net cash used in Investing Activities | | $ | (83,458 | ) | | $ | (38,507 | ) |
|
Net cash provided by (used in) Financing Activities | | $ | (40,157 | ) | | $ | 3,210 | |
|
The net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities are primarily impacted by the earnings from our business activities. The cash flows provided by operating activities increased to $95 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to cash flows used by operating activities of $9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily due to the cash flows generated by the assets acquired in the Talisman Acquisition.
The cash used in investing activities represent expenditures for capital projects and asset purchases, as discussed in “Drilling Program” below, and increases to restricted cash under escrow for our rig commitments. The cash provided by (used in) financing activities generally consists of borrowings and repayments of debt, proceeds from the issuance of equity securities and payment of financing costs. Since December 31, 2006, we have repaid $40 million net of borrowings under our senior bank facility. Cash provided by financing activities in 2006 represents proceeds from warrant and option exercises.
With our acquisition of interests in producing fields in the United Kingdom in 2006, we gained a production base that we believe will generate significant cash flow to fund our future growth plans and ongoing operations for 2007 and 2008.
As previously discussed, we completed the Talisman Acquisition in late 2006, financed through the issuance of common stock, convertible preferred stock and debt. This acquisition significantly increased the size of our production and reserves upon closing and should also provide cash flow to support our ongoing drilling programs for the next several years. Annual dividends on the convertible preferred stock are expected to be $11 million, assuming we pay the dividends in common stock. The debt issued in connection with the Talisman Acquisition bears interest at LIBOR plus applicable margins. In the first quarter of 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $37.5 million whereby we pay a fixed rate of 5.05% and receive LIBOR. We expect to have cash interest expense, including the effect of the interest rate swap, of approximately $24 million annually.
Our senior bank facility is based on a borrowing base tied to our oil and gas reserves and is subject to revision every six months with an independent reserve report required every 12 months. The available borrowing base is $173 million, of which $110 million was outstanding at September 30, 2007. The senior bank facility also provides for issuances of letters of credit of up to an aggregate $60 million. All letters of credit issued under the senior bank facility will reduce the total amount available for drawing under the senior bank facility, except for letters of credit issued to secure abandonment liabilities. As of September 30, 2007, we have $42 million of outstanding letters of credit related to abandonment liabilities on certain of our oil and gas properties.

Endeavour International Corporation
2007 Outlook
With the Talisman Acquisition, we increased our production to approximately 9,000 BOE per day for the last two months of 2006 based on the number of days we owned Talisman. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our production averaged 9,200 BOE per day. Third quarter production increased from the second quarter 2007 with the start-up of the Enoch field and decreased down time for maintenance. We now expect full year production for 2007 to range from 9,000 to 9,400 BOE per day, reflecting the full year impact of the Talisman Acquisition and initial sales from the production from the Enoch field. According to the sales method of accounting, oil revenues are recognized when production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and collectibility of the revenue is probable.
Oil prices continue to be impacted by supply and demand on a worldwide basis, while natural gas prices are more impacted by regional economic and weather patterns. While oil prices continue to remain strong, natural gas prices in the UK have begun to recover from the levels seen year to date. Warmer weather conditions and increases in the supply of natural gas available from Norway had impacted the nine month gas prices. We have commodity derivative instruments to secure our realized prices for a portion of our oil and gas production through 2011. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for more discussion of our commodity derivative instruments.
We expect operating costs per BOE to be in the range of $12 to $13 per BOE for the remainder of 2007. Commodity prices can also affect our operating cash flow through an indirect effect on operating expenses. Significant commodity price increases, as experienced in recent years, can lead to an increase in drilling and development activities. As a result, the demand and cost for people, services, equipment and materials may also increase, causing a negative impact on our cash flow.
Drilling Program
We have revised our annual capital budget downward from $80 million to approximately $70 million for oil and gas exploration and development in the North Sea, of which $63 million has been spent during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This revision reflects delays in exploration projects, primarily due to the availability of rigs under our rig commitment, delays in appraisal work on the Columbus prospect (where the appraisal well was begun at the end of the third quarter) and a shifting emphasis to our current producing and development projects. For 2007, an estimated $40 million has been allocated to exploration drilling activities with the remainder to data acquisition and analysis, producing assets, maintenance, and development projects. More than two-thirds of the 2007 capital program is expected to be spent in the UK sector of the North Sea. The rest of the capital budget will be directed toward exploration and development activities in Norway. We may further increase or decrease our planned activities for 2007 or optimize of our prospects, depending upon drilling results, potential acquisition candidates, product prices, the availability of capital resources, and other factors affecting the economic viability of such activities.

Endeavour International Corporation
Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 2007 have been focused on the following projects:
| • | | completion of the development project at the Enoch field where initial production began at the end of May; |
|
| • | | appraisal drilling at last year’s Columbus discovery (25% working interest); |
|
| • | | exploration drilling at the Acer prospect (5% working interest); |
|
| • | | exploration drilling at the Balgownie prospect (45% working interest); |
|
| • | | exploration drilling at the Emu prospect (well operator with a 25% working interest); |
|
| • | | ongoing work on the gas blowdown project at the Njord field to increase gas production and the life of the field (2.5% working interest); and |
|
| • | | exploration drilling on the NW Flank prospect (2.5% working interest). |
The exploration prospects for Acer, Balgownie and Emu were plugged and abandoned.
During the fourth quarter of 2007, our capital expenditures are anticipated to be $7 million and focus on continued investment in the following projects:
| • | | continued work on the appraisal well at the Columbus discovery; |
|
| • | | exploration and development drilling in the NW Flank area adjacent to the Njord field ; |
|
| • | | completion of the gas blowdown project at the Njord field; and |
|
| • | | development drilling at the Brage field (4.4% working interest) |
The Columbus appraisal well began drilling in late September 2007 and is located approximately three kilometers north of the discovery well that was drilled in late 2006. In November 2007, we announced that the appraisal well and its sidetrack effectively confirmed the presence of gas/condensate bearing sands. The well is now suspended for possible use in the development of the field. Information obtained from the drilling will be used to further advance development studies, an optimum reservoir depletion scheme and export plans to nearby infrastructure.
We are also drilling an appraisal and future producing well in the Njord Northwest flank area adjacent to the Njord field in a reservoir discovered in 2000.
The gas blowdown project at the Njord field is nearing completion and production from the project is expected in mid fourth quarter.
Drilling also continues on the Brage A-28 A-B that was spud in August 2007 with dual objectives of exploring the lower Brent formation and to serve as a horizontal producer.
During the third quarter, we entered into several agreements to realign our interests in two production licenses in the northern North Sea. We assumed operatorship of license PL270, the location of the Agat natural gas discoveries, and acquired additional working interest. In exchange, we transferred a portion of our interests in the license PL426, received certain net exploration cost carry provisions in license PL270 and PL426 and will fund certain costs through the first appraisal well in license PL270. Subsequent to the completion of these transactions, we
26
Endeavour International Corporation
will hold a 65 percent working interest in the two licenses and be the majority owner of both blocks.
Rig Commitments
We have a consortium with several other operators in the Norwegian Continental Shelf that has entered into a contract for the use of a drilling rig over a multi-year period. The contract commits us to 100 days (for two wells) for drilling services conducted by the Bredford Dolphin, a semi-submersible drilling rig, for $38 million, between mid 2008 and 2009. The agreement allows us to move forward with our exploration program in Norway and fulfill our role as an operator of Norwegian licenses.
In the second quarter of 2006, we entered into a rig commitment for 220 days over a one-year period beginning in May 2007 for the United Kingdom sector of the North Sea. The arrangement with Applied Drilling Technology International, a division of GlobalSantaFe, is for a heavy-duty harsh environment jack-up suitable for most drilling activities we will operate in 2007 and 2008. The initial obligation under this contract was $66 million. In January 2007, a $22 million escrow payment was made under the rig commitment. During of the first nine months of 2007, we utilized 73 days of this rig commitment to drill the Balgownie and Emu prospects. We expect to utilize the remaining 147 days of this commitment beginning in the third quarter of 2008 through 2009 depending on well scheduling.
We believe these rig-contracting efforts offer compelling economics and facilitate the timely extension of our drilling program into 2009.
Disclosures About Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
See “Drilling Program” for a discussion of our rig commitments and planned expenditures.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Exchange Risk
The international scope of our business operations exposes us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency markets. As a result, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk due to effects that foreign exchange rate movements have on our costs and on the cash flows that we receive from foreign operations. We operate a centralized currency management operation to take advantage of potential opportunities to naturally offset exposures against each other. To date, we have addressed our foreign currency exchange rate risks principally by maintaining our liquid assets in interest-bearing accounts, until payments in foreign currency are required, but we have not reduced this risk by hedging to date.
27
Endeavour International Corporation
Commodity Price Risk
We produce and sell crude oil and natural gas. Realized pricing is primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide price for crude oil and regional gas spot market prices that have been volatile and unpredictable for several years. As a result, our financial results can be significantly impacted as these commodity prices fluctuate widely in response to changing market forces. We may engage in oil and gas hedging activities to realize commodity prices that we consider favorable. For additional information regarding our derivative instruments, see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect the interest earned on cash and cash equivalents and the interest rate paid on borrowings under debt.
At September 30, 2007, we have an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $37.5 million whereby we pay a fixed rate of 5.05% and receive three-month LIBOR through November 2009. A 250 change in basis points on LIBOR would result in a $0.4 million change in our annual interest expense, given our floating rate debt at September 30, 2007 and interest rate swap.
Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive officer (the “CEO”) and chief financial officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded:
(i) that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (b) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and
(ii) that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2007.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
