Zephyr Energy PLC (OTC:ZPHRF) has announced the completion of its semi-annual redetermination process with First International Bank & Trust (FIBT), its North Dakota-based lender. The outcome of this process has reaffirmed Zephyr’s existing revolving credit facility of $15.15 million while concurrently reducing the interest rate on this facility from 11% to 10% per annum.
As part of this financial restructuring, Zephyr has successfully decreased its overall borrowings to $27.4 million, down from $30.1 million at the beginning of the year. This adjustment reflects not only a commitment to improving financial health but also enhances the company’s cost of capital, with the blended interest rate now lowered to 9.1% from 9.5%. This change is anticipated to yield annual savings of approximately $150,000 in interest costs.
In the first half of 2024, Zephyr generated net revenue of $13.6 million, driven by its portfolio of non-operated production assets, which yielded around 1,239 barrels of oil equivalent per day. This robust performance underscores the company's focus on capital efficiency and operational effectiveness.
Furthermore, Zephyr continues to make progress in its Paradox Basin project in Utah. Recent well tests have indicated flows exceeding 2,100 barrels of oil equivalent per day from one well. In response, the company has decided to extend the well’s lateral section, viewing it as a significant opportunity for long-term productivity in the Paradox project. Drilling for this extended lateral is anticipated to commence before the end of 2024 or early 2025, subject to the availability of rigs and favorable weather conditions. This strategic move aims to enhance the project’s output potential and reinforce Zephyr’s position in the energy sector.
