The Group's consolidated sales for the first quarter of 2016 amounted to ?58
million versus ?70 million for the same period in 2015. This 18% decline was due
to the drop in oil prices (selling price down by 33% to US$32.6/b, versus
US$48.8/b in Q1 2015).
Oil output was up by 22% to 19,910 bopd (M&P share), plus the gas delivered to
Tanesco in Tanzania (average 22.8 MMcf/d) in the first quarter of 2016, which
makes a total M&P production of 23,717 boepd versus 16,529 boepd in Q1 2015.

In Gabon, production stayed above 28,000 bopd in January and February. In mid-
March 2016, the pipeline operator carried out further reinforcement work on the
12" routing line between the Coucal station and the junction with the 18"
pipeline. Accordingly, production was limited between 13 March and 5 April
2016, but has since been gradually increasing and has now been averaging 29,700
bopd (100%), or 23,760 bopd (M&P share), over the past two weeks. On this basis,
the average annual production target of 28,000 bopd (100%) is maintained.
In Tanzania, the Group supplied an average of 47.6 million cubic feet per day
(100%). Gas deliveries depend on demand from the national company, TPDC.
The Doha conference of 17 April 2016 resulted in a stabilisation of oil prices,
leading to hopes that they have bottomed out and can only improve.
