Tropical Storm Matthew disrupted LGO Energy’s (LON:LGO) production in Trinidad in the past quarter, but facilities are now back on line again said chief executive Neil Ritson.
The storm caused widespread electrical failures across the island but allowing for this underlying production was flat, he said, as workovers at the Goudron field compensated for natural declines.
Production has risen since October, Ritson added.
LGO produced an average of 526 barrels of oil per day in the three months to September or 48,358 barrels in aggregate with 38,354 barrels at Goudron, 1,232 barrels at Icacos and the balance of 8,772 barrels from Spain.
In Spain, production was lower than in the second quarter at an average of 95 bopd, compared to 123 bopd, due to rig maintenance.
Ritson added: "Seasonal variations in production in Goudron are a feature of the field although this year the wet season in Trinidad has been more disruptive than we have previously experienced.
“All wells and equipment are now back online across the Group and we look forward to a more stable production period to end year.
"LGO also continues to advance it's re-financing of the BNP Paribas debt, now standing at approximately US$2.6 million, and the company will update the market on that process as soon as possible."
