Report on sales and gas balance from Misen Energy AB (publ)
During the first five months of 2014, Misen Energy AB (publ) and its subsidiary LLC Karpatygaz have concluded sales of 233 million cubic meters (mmcm) of natural gas. This volume includes previously announced sales of 128 mmcm and comprises a mix of natural gas produced in 2013 stored in the underground storage facilities and natural gas produced during January – April 2014.
In addition, a substantive progress has been reached in negotiating re-inclusion of the LLC Karpatygaz led Joint Activity (JA) into the gas balance. As of 4 June 2014, the JA has been included into the gas balance regarding the whole production of May and June 2014, representing a total estimated volume of 123 mmcm. This allows LLC Karpatygaz to continue payments associated with the JA debts and prepare the grounds for possible reactivation of currently suspended investment program. Even though the aforesaid re-inclusion into the gas balance does not represent a permanent solution as of yet, it further strengthens notion that the situation with production to storage will be discontinued, and thus decreases uncertainty for the future business and going concern.
