I am compiling a list of questions to be put to Tony McClure etc at the AGM on the 21st. I would like to submit these on monday the 17th to the company so they can prepare. However I am sure you will all have other questions to ask that can be added to my list. I do intend to attend in person. Formatting is not the best. Questions with numbers below!
Questions for the AGM 21st November 2008
It appears that greater short term gas sales will allow European Gas to develop faster given the current problems in the capital markets.
1. What are the limitations on the sale of gas to Total Gas and Power, ie why can you not sell them all you can produce? 2. Can this contract be changed in 2010 to supply all you can produce or 3. Can you not have a secondary contract for the surplus production now? 4. Or is this resource constrained production.
Detail of gas sales for the quarter are summarised in the following table. Sales Average Price Received
5. Gas sales for the quarter were reduced compared to the June quarter 2008 gas sales 59,190 MWh (213,080 GJ)) due to the typical seasonal variations of the summer months where less gas can be injected into the national grid. – Please Explain
6. Does this mean that you are proposing to produce 781,819.00 GJ to match your average production for calendar year 2008 ? Or is there another problem ?
Divion &Desiree Site
These sites appear to be shut in at present due to the ongoing dispute described below.
At the Désirée sites the gas is compressed to between 300 and 350 kPag for supply of gas under a sales agreement to local industry
On June 28, 2002, Gazonor entered into a contract with Société Artésienne de Vinyle (“SAV”) for the supply of mine gas to SAV. On April 12, 2007, Gazonor gave notice to SAV of its intent to terminate supply following expiration of the three-month notice period required under the contract, in the event of failure by the parties to agree upon a new rate applicable to the future supply of mine gas.
On July 10, 2007, in light of SAV’s refusal to pay outstanding supply invoices, Gazonor summoned SAV before the Commercial Chamber of the Béthume District Court, demanding payment of €410,288 in unpaid invoices and €100,000 in damages.
7. What other options are there to resell this gas to another party or to generate electricity in the short term? 8. What % of potential production do Divion & Desire sites make up of the whole. 9. Have you thought of producing bulk CNG for sale from these sites?
