与邻近运营商中国石油大庆塔姆萨格的合作协议已接近最终定稿。协议包括 XX 区块生产的卸载、测量、加工、出口和销售。所有费用均符合预期，唯一尚待商定的项目是向中国石油支付的管理费。尽管中国石油表示，其总部签署协议可能需要一些时间，但 Petro Matad、中国石油和 MRPAM 均同意在 11 月底冬季停产前开始 XX 区块的生产作业。生产、加工和出口活动将持续整个冬季，因此提前开始这些活动非常重要。
Petro Matad 首席执行官 Mike Buck 表示：“我们等待 Heron-1 井投产已久，我们很高兴能够实现这一重要里程碑。我们非常感谢能源部和 MRPAM 的支持以及中石油提供的合作。我们也非常感谢我们敬业团队的辛勤工作和热情，以及股东的耐心和持续支持。”
Petro Matad Ltd, the AIM quoted Mongolian oil company, has provided an update on the planned start of oil production in its Block XX Production Sharing Contract area in eastern Mongolia.
Site construction and equipment installation activities on the Heron-1 well pad have been completed. The beam pump, generator and storage tanks are now being commissioned and will be ready for production startup on or before 25 October 2024. Petro Matad's in-field operations team is at site and all logistical preparations are being made to be ready to start the transportation of produced fluids to PetroChina's facilities some 20 km to the north in Block XIX.
The Company will be honoured to host a delegation headed by the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources at a startup ceremony at the well site on 25 October. The delegation will include senior representatives of the Ministry, senior officials of industry regulator the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia (MRPAM), and invitees also include the Provincial and District Governors and their respective senior officials as well as representatives of PetroChina.
The Cooperation Agreement with neighbouring operator, PetroChina Daqing Tamsag, is in near final form. It includes provision for the offloading, measurement, processing, export and sale of the Block XX production. All fees to be levied are in line with expectations and the only item remaining to be agreed is the administration fee to be paid to PetroChina. Whilst PetroChina has advised that it will likely take some time for the agreement to be signed by its Headquarters, Petro Matad, PetroChina and MRPAM have all agreed to get Block XX production operations started ahead of the operational winter shut down in late November. Production, processing and export activities continue through the winter months, so it is important to get these started in advance.
Mike Buck, CEO of Petro Matad, said: "We have waited a long time to get the Heron-1 well into production and we are pleased to have reached this important milestone. We very much appreciate the support of the Ministry and MRPAM and the cooperation that PetroChina is providing. We are also very grateful for the hard work and enthusiasm of our dedicated team and for the patience and continued support of our shareholders."
