Group reserves at 31/12/2016
Group reserves at 31 December 2016
The Group's reserves correspond to the volumes of recoverable hydrocarbons currently in production plus those revealed by discovery and delineation wells that can be operated commercially. These reserves at 31 December 2016 were evaluated by DeGolyer and MacNaughton in Gabon and by RPS Energy in Tanzania.

Maurel & Prom's share of P1+P2 (2P) reserves net of royalties at 31 December 2016 was 203 MMboe.
In Gabon, 2P reserves net of royalties at 31 December 2016 amounted to 157.7 MMbbl, slightly down after taking into account 2016 production net of royalties of 7.4 MMbbl, partially offset by a 5.6 MMbbl upward revision of that figure. In 2016, investments in production assets in Gabon focused on work aimed at improving the effectiveness of water injection. The Group intends to continue this strategy in 2017. The resulting stronger total flow from injection and the installation of more powerful activation pumps at certain producing wells require the installed electrical power capacity to be increased.
At 31 December 2016, the Group also had gas reserves of 272.3 Bcf, which is equivalent to 45.4 MMboe. Its share of proven P1 reserves rose from 49% to 61% of 2P reserves due to better pressurisation at the field, in production since August 2015. These gas assets give the Group access to fixed, stable revenues over the long term. The sale price is US$3.07 per thousand cubic feet and rises with inflation. Maurel & Prom thus has additional cash flow unaffected by oil price fluctuations.
