Indo extended its Kruh Block contract five years with an increased after-tax split. Indo’s contract with Pertamina, the state-owned oil and gas company, now extends to September 2035. The amended contract increases Indo’s after-tax split to 35% from 15%. The extension, while not unexpected, comes after Indo had suspended drilling in the Kruh Block to complete a well workover. The favorable extension helps justify Indo taking its time in the Kruh Block as it completes a 3D seismic program to optimize drilling locations. We believe the government was willing to agree to the settlement as a way to spur Indo to increase drilling activity.

An operational update provides little new information. The company also updated investors regarding drilling plans in the Kruh Block and the Citarum Block. Management reiterated plans to drill 14 additional wells in the Kruh Block by the end of 2026 with the next well starting in 2024. Management did indicate that it expects to receive an environmental permit for seismic activity in the Citarum Block in 2023-4Q with work to begin in 2024-1Q. Our models assume one well drilled in the Citarum Block and two wells drilled in the Kruh Block in 2024.

Indonesia Energy Filed Its 20-F (Foreign) Document with the SEC Providing Financial Data. Due to drilling and production delays, revenue growth has been slower than projected. The company continues to report negative cash flow and earnings as limited revenues are hard pressed to cover G&A costs. The result was a $4.5 million loss from operations for the year, an EBITDA loss of $3.5 million, and negative net income of $3.1 million ($0.35 per share). The results were below our expectations, although the Indo story is really one of operating developments, not near-term results.

Operations are quiet. The filing largely repeated previously stated plans for drilling in the Kruh Block (4 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 4 in 2026). INDO has drilled four wells in the Kruh Block, the last of which is still awaiting final flow test results but expected to be put in production mid 2023. After the last well, the company put new drilling on hold to complete additional seismic studies.  Importantly, limited production has meant that it may not be able to fully recover costs spent under the revenue sharing agreement (INDO has filed for an extension).
