Average working interest production during the first quarter of 35,811 boepd (compared to 21,494 boepd in 2014) and comprised 27,935 bopd liquids and 47.3 MMscfd gas, in line with the objectives for year end 2015 comprised between 32,000 boepd and 36,000 boepd.
Approximately 95% of liquids production from OMLs 4, 38 and 41 was transported through the TFS. This volume was subject to an average of 9.67% reconciliation losses for the quarter. The evacuation to the Warri refinery via the SEPLAT operated alternative export pipeline in now on stream. During the first three months, deliveries to the Warri refinery were 246,702 bbls. This evacuation pipeline should be the main route in the future.

SAINT-AUBIN ENERGIE (2/3 MPI)
At Sawn Lake in Alberta, the pilot test of the Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) process, conducted on the first pair of horizontal wells to assess the technical and commercial feasibility of bitumen production through steam injection, continues. The average production of 302 bopd in the first quarter of 2015 with a peak at 470 bopd in April continues to evolve favorably. In order to assess the economics of the field, the pilot testing will continue during the summer 2015.
On the island of Anticosti in Quebec, the stratigraphic drilling campaign suspended during the winter season restarted in late April with the drilling of the Sainte-Marie well. The campaign will continue until early fall 2015.
