Construction of a FPSO for the ONGC NELP Block KG – DWN 98/2 Development Project Cluster-II field (“Field”) located on the east coast of Kakinada, offshore India (“98/2 Project”) for Oil and Natural Gas Corporation of India (“ONGC”)
The Group holds a 30% interest in associates involved in the 98/2 Project. Since December 2022, the FPSO has been hooked-up at the Field, is ready to commence acceptance tests and is waiting for the provision of hydrocarbons by ONGC (“First Oil”). The provision of First Oil is crucial to enable the FPSO to conduct the necessary acceptance tests to achieve final acceptance.
The construction of the FPSO for the 98/2 Project was mainly funded by a USD930.0 million bridge loan facility (“Bridge Facility”) made available by a syndication of lenders (“Bridge Lenders”). The Bridge Facility was intended to be refinanced by long term project finance. The Bridge Facility had a maturity date of 9 June 2023 with a five-business day grace period for payment i.e. 16 June 2023 (“Bridge Repayment Date”).
Despite having successfully executed a Facility Agreement dated 13 April 2023 for a project financing facility of USD948.0 million (“Project Facility”) from a syndicate of project finance lenders (“Project Lenders”) and fulfilling a majority of the disbursement conditions, the associate was not able to provide a final acceptance certificate for the FPSO (being one of the Project Facility disbursement conditions), by the Bridge Repayment Date, due to the delay in being able to conduct FPSO acceptance tests which is due to delay in provision of hydrocarbons by ONGC.
On 6 September 2023, the associate successfully achieved financial close under the Project Facility. The disbursement proceeds from the Project Facility have been utilised to fully repay the Bridge Facility.

1st oil is on track. I can only say this much, believe it or not upto u
@CT888 I wouldn't be so boastful of my trades at the close if I were privy to insider information. Be careful. Bursa Malaysia monitors all transactions.
Ini statement tak betul, debts ratio has reduced remarkable from 2.95 in 2020 to just 0.66 in 2023 latest QR. Very healthy debts level. You check Yinson`s debt ratio how much?
Even if first oil is out today, India is 2.5 hrs behind. Also is there a requirement for BA to make an announcement? Is it significant, especially when ASV is an associate company. Does anyone know the daily charter rate for ASV
Tq niki, pls update us if there is any development. I don't think BA may make any announcement, and if they do, it will be after a few days like they always end up doing.
SPBAG, also a 30:70 venture between Bumi Armada and Shapoorji Pallonji, had won a US$2.1 billion tender from India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corp Ltd (ONGC) for the charter hire and operations of the FPSO at the KG-DWN-98/2 block in Bay of Bengal for nine years.
Contract USD 2.1b over 9 years period. Or USD 233m per year. Assumption one year operate 350 days minus the mandatory maintenance. My rough calculation Daily charter rate = USD 233M/ 350 days = USD 666k
Armada has only 30% JV sharing.
Kraken 80,000 BODP ship USD 500k per day VS Armada Steering V total 90,000 BODP ship. Expected higher daily rate.
Latest I have on the Armada Sterling V FPSO is that first oil is delayed due to equipment malfunction. Could be as short as a few days to resolve it or longer than that, as the issue is of an unknown severity - it needs to be checked by the supplier.
In any case, Bumi Armada is notorious for late announcement to Bursa Malaysia.
Case in point - Armada Olombendo achieved first oil on 8 Feb 2017 (and was also reported on Upstreamonline), but Bumi Armada only published the announcement to Bursa Malaysia on 17 Feb 2017. So much time for insiders to buy in and reeks of poor corporate governance. Lets see if they improve this time around.
------------------
Malaysia, 17 February 2017 - Bumi Armada Berhad, Malaysia-based international offshore energy facilities and services provider is pleased to announce that its floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit, Armada Olombendo, has achieved first oil production in Block 15-06 in Angola, for Eni Angola S.p.A.(“Eni Angola”), on 8 February 2017.
HLIB Research said it is mainly due to the failure of HSP transformers on FPSO Kraken and lower revenue from the subsea construction contract work in the Caspian Sea as the project was near completion in 2023.
It has maintained a “buy” call on the group with a target price of 71 sen per share. As for CGS-CIMB Research, it reiterated an “add” call on Bumi Armada with a slightly lower target price of 73 sen per share, on the back of a 2% to 4% core EPS forecast reduction for the financial year 23 (FY23) until FY25.
