Shaikan Operational Update and Notice of Results
Gulf Keystone, the operator of the world class Shaikan field in
the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, announces that all production and
truck loading operations currently continue without interruption at
both Shaikan production facilities (PF-1 and PF-2) in a safe and
secure manner.
On 29 July 2015, production totalled 43,700 barrels with 39,500
barrels (240 trucks) loaded by a domestic offtaker for onward sale.
As announced on 9 July 2015, the Company continues to implement its
diversified marketing strategy. Under a direct contract with the
domestic offtaker, Shaikan crude oil is delivered by truck from the
Company's production facilities to the Turkish coast. In addition,
following the request of the Kurdistan Regional Government's
Ministry of Natural Resources ("MNR"), the Company has commenced
trucking Shaikan crude 120 km to Fyshkhabour on the Turkish border
for injection into the export pipeline to Ceyhan in Turkey. These
deliveries are expected to resume once the temporary shutdown of
the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline in Turkey has been rectified.
The Company continues to receive regular monthly payments direct
from the domestic offtaker, while progressing the dialogue with the
MNR regarding the payment mechanism for export sales via the
pipeline and payments for past crude oil sales and other
arrears.
Gulf Keystone also confirms today that the Company's half year
results for the period ended 30 June 2015 will be announced on
Thursday 27 August 2015.
A live webcast of the presentation to analysts will be available
at 10:30am (BST) on the Company's website www.gulfkeystone.com.
