-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Well in Gabon brought online early Nov; produced ~8,000 gross bbl through early Dec at ~275 bopd.
- Only 33% of injected completion fluid recovered; cleanup continues; lower stimulated zones may not be contributing.

- First lifting from new FSO TELI completed Dec 4; final Nautipa FPSO volumes removed.
- In Egypt, first horizontal well expected to spud Dec 12; in Canada, 4-10 well tie-in late Dec, drilling starts Jan 2023.
