Natural gas production from the Manati field averaged 6.1 MMm3/day
(3,837 boe/day net to PEN) in the fourth quarter 2012. This production
level reflects fourth quarter 2012 gas demand in the region. Production
in the fourth quarter 2012 represents a decrease of approximately 8
percent from the third quarter 2012 and an increase of approximately 31
percent compared to the fourth quarter 2011.
As in earlier periods, reported sales volumes in our financial
statements will be adjusted for retainage (usage, line loss and
stripping of condensate).These sales volumes have historically been
approximately 6% below produced volumes.
For the full year 2012, natural gas production from the Manati field in
Brazil averaged 6.1 MMm3/day (3,860 boe/day net to PEN), an increase of
approximately 49 % compared to 2011.
