Chief Executive Review
The first half of 2018 has seen real progress on all fronts for IOG on our UK SNS projects. We have made further strides toward our goal of bringing otherwise bypassed indigenous gas into the import-dependent UK market safely and at a low unit cost, generating material cash flows for the Group and returns for investors.
In April, we completed the acquisition of the 24-inch Thames Pipeline from owners Perenco UK Limited, Tullow Oil SK Limited and Spirit Energy Resources Limited for a nominal sum. We also worked closely with the UK Oil & Gas Authority ('OGA'), the UK government Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy ('BEIS') and the Health & Safety Executive ('HSE') resulting in our appointment as pipeline operator. The recommissioning of PL370 will unlock the value of our gas assets by providing us with a low-cost export route to the UK gas market at Bacton Terminal on the North Norfolk coast. This view has been supported in 1H 2018 by external surveys of PL370 carried out by the vessel, MV Fugro Galaxy, and by an extensive pigging and pressure test campaign which demonstrated its internal integrity. Assessment of the Bacton facilities has continued with engineering studies underway to define the best approach to refurbishing the Thames Reception Facility.
In May our 100% owned gas portfolio consisting of; (i) 303 BCF of Proven and Probable ('2P') Reserves at the Blythe and Vulcan Satellites Hubs (Post Tax NPV10 of GBP321 million); and (ii) our exciting appraisal opportunity Harvey with 114 BCF best estimate Prospective Resources, was augmented by the offer of three new licences in the 30(th) UKCS Offshore Licensing Round where we targeted opportunities within range of our own infrastructure. As well as securing 100% of the Harvey asset, the awards for Goddard (189 BCF mid case management estimate) and Abbeydale (11 BCF mid case management estimate) with existing discoveries on structure represent a material addition to our resource base.
The Field Development Plans ('FDP's) submitted to the OGA have been optimised in 1H 2018 to reflect a two - phase development, with Phase 1 comprising the Blythe, Elgood and Southwark Fields and Phase 2 comprising the Nailsworth and Elland fields. EIAs were submitted to BEIS in January and April for the Blythe and Vulcan Satellite Hubs respectively and will support the FDP approval process.
We continue to plan to develop our assets at Blythe, Southwark, Nailsworth and Elland via four simple unmanned wellhead platforms and a subsea tieback at Elgood, with up to ten long reach wells to be drilled in total. FID is planned for Q4 2018 and first gas is planned for late Q2 2020.
At Harvey we continue to see material upside, sufficient to double the size of the Blythe Hub and are targeting drilling the Harvey appraisal well in January 2019. Activity in 1H 2018 has focused on the reprocessing of 3D seismic over Harvey to best define and de-risk the well location.
In support of our plans, discussions are ongoing with drilling rig owners, well construction service providers and subsea and pipeline fabrication and installation contractors alongside the arrangements already in place with Heerema Fabrication (platform design and fabrication) and ODE (operations, maintenance and pipeline operations).
Successful development execution requires firm funding to be in place at FID. The progress made in 1H 2018 was due in large part to the funding provided to us in the form of a new GBP10 million convertible loan in February by our largest stakeholder LOG, with a conversion price of 19p per share. I am pleased to say this new loan has given the Company scope to execute the necessary pigging, surveys and engineering studies to reach FID, targeted for Q4 2018. Post period end we were also pleased to announce the agreement of terms with LOG for a GBP15 million loan to fund the Harvey appraisal well, pay down the remaining Skipper well creditors and support the project through to FID. We were also delighted to see Swiss investment house Burggraben acquire a 10% stake in the Company throughout May and early June, reinforcing our belief in the current development strategy.
Regarding post-FID development funding, in addition to conventional debt and equity finance, the Company continues to progress options to utilise finance linked to gas off-take. Debt markets for independent oil and gas operators have normalised considerably after the period of low oil prices and weak profitability in the North Sea between 2014 and 2016. The Company's independently assessed 2P reserves of 303 BCF, equivalent to 54 MMBoe, provides a solid footing to secure an optimal development funding package for the portfolio during Q4 2018.
The Company needs a high-quality team of individuals to progress the project through development and this year, we have strengthened our capability at all levels of the organisation. In February, I am pleased to say I assumed the role of Chief Executive and Mark Routh stepped up to be Non-Executive Chairman. Andrew Hay left the Board and we thank him for his service. In April, we welcomed Mark Hughes to the executive team and Board as Chief Operating Officer. Mark has considerable recent relevant SNS experience in development engineering and management with RWE Dea and Gaz de France. Post period end we appointed Fiona MacAulay as Independent Non-Executive Director. Fiona brings a wealth of technical experience to the Board and is CEO of AIM-listed Echo Energy plc.
In conclusion, I am happy to say that the Company is now progressing towards FID and financing which will ultimately unlock both cash flow generation from our SNS gas fields and the major upside at our Harvey appraisal opportunity.
I would like to thank all shareholders for their support throughout the year, and I look forward to furthering both the Group and Company's progress in 2H 2018 and beyond.

Operational Review
UK - Southern North Sea ('SNS')
Thames Pipeline
Completion of the acquisition of PL370 from Perenco UK Limited, Tullow Oil SK Limited and Spirit Energy Resources Limited occurred on 16 April 2018.
The vessel MV Fugro Galaxy mobilised in late January 2018 and as part of its work programme carried out a pipeline and route survey along PL370.
Preparation for the IPP commenced on 20 February 2018 with onshore mechanical preparation work at the Bacton Terminal. The main IPP work took place in May 2018 and early June 2018. Three pipeline sections were cut 60km offshore and retrieved to surface and indicated that the pipeline is in extremely good condition. Two successful pipeline pressure tests confirmed pipeline integrity. Initial 60km gauge pigging runs from Bacton to the offshore tie-in point were successfully executed.
The initial IPP run gathered insufficient data due to technical malfunction with the pig and an alternative strategy was planned and presented to the HSE.
Post period end, an internal crawler-based measurement device was run between the Bacton terminal to a point 800m offshore to assess the line's internal and external condition. The resulting data analysis showed no internal corrosion nor external defects. This subsequently allowed a 150-bar pressure hydrotest and this was completed successfully.
Blythe
Blythe is planned to be developed with a single well tied back to the Thames pipeline via an unmanned platform ('NUI'). Platform FEED is complete. The MV Fugro Galaxy mobilised in late January 2018 and as part of its work programme carried out surveys across the Blythe Hub (Blythe and Elgood fields) in support of the development of the fields. At Blythe this work included site surveys for platform location and pipeline route surveys to the tie-in point at the Thames Pipeline and environmental sampling. The EIA for the Blythe Hub was submitted on 31 January 2018 in line with milestones agreed with the OGA.
IOG remains on track for Field Development Plan ('FDP') approval for Blythe by end of Q4 2018, in line with agreed OGA milestones. First gas is scheduled for late Q3 2020, subject to project financing. During development engineering studies in 1H 2018, it was decided to include Blythe as part of a Phase 1 development comprising Blythe, Elgood and Southwark and at end 1H 2018 the FDP was being amended accordingly.
Elgood
Elgood is planned to be developed with a single well tied back subsea to the Blythe NUI. The MV Fugro Galaxy mobilised in late January 2018 and as part of its work programme carried out surveys across the Blythe Hub (Blythe and Elgood fields) in support of the development of the fields. At Elgood this work included site surveys for pipeline route surveys to the tie-in point at the Thames Pipeline and environmental sampling. The EIA for the Blythe Hub was submitted on 31 January 2018 in line with milestones agreed with the OGA.
IOG remains on track for FDP approval for Elgood by end of Q4 2018, in line with agreed OGA milestones. First gas is scheduled for Q1 2021, subject to project financing. During development engineering studies in 1H 2018 it was decided to include Elgood as part of a Phase 1 development comprising Blythe, Elgood and Southwark and at end 1H 2018 the FDP was being amended accordingly.
Vulcan Satellites
The Vulcan Satellites are planned to be developed with NUIs at Southwark (three wells), Elland (two wells) and Nailsworth (three wells), all tied back into PL370. Platform FEED is complete.
The MV Fugro Galaxy mobilised in late January 2018 and as part of its work programme carried out surveys across the Vulcan Satellites Hub (Southwark, Nailsworth and Elland fields) in support of the development of the fields. This work included site surveys for platform locations and pipeline route surveys to the tie-in point at the Thames pipeline and environmental sampling. The EIA for the Vulcan Satellites Hub was submitted in April 2018 in line with milestones agreed with the OGA.
During development engineering studies in 1H 2018 it was decided to include Southwark as part of a Phase 1 development comprising Blythe, Elgood and Southwark and at end 1H 2018 the FDP was being amended accordingly. Elland and Nailsworth will be developed in Phase 2 of the development.
IOG remains on track for FDP approval for Phase 1 including Blythe, Elgood and Southwark by end of Q4 2018, in line with agreed OGA milestones. First gas is scheduled at Southwark for late Q2 2020 subject to project financing.
Harvey
IOG has a licence commitment to drill an appraisal well on P2085 Harvey by December 2019 and is planning to accelerate this to January 2019, assisted by the recent GBP15 million financing from key stakeholder LOG. Contractor and rig selection are underway and will be complete by the end of Q3 2018. In the first half of 2018 work on P2085 has focused on reprocessing existing 3D seismic data to pre-stack depth migration level with Schlumberger WesternGeco to define the optimum location for this well.
Bacton
FEED commenced on the work required to receive Phase 1 gas from the Thames pipeline into the reception facilities and then on through the Perenco managed processing plant and thus to the National Transmission System ('NTS'). Commercial discussions also commenced with the plant owners to define tariffing terms and modification requirements.
30(th) Licensing Round Awards (announced 23 May 2018)
Harvey South East P2441:
IOG was offered Block 48/24a in the 30(th) UKCS Seaward Licensing Round and has accepted licence P2441 which contains the easternmost extension of the Harvey structure and several other dormant discoveries and prospects. On this licence the work commitment is to reprocess existing 3D seismic data to pre-stack depth migration level which has been covered by the work completed post period end with Schlumberger WesternGeco across Blocks 48/24a and 48/24b.
Gross Prospective Resources in the Harvey structure are judged to be 45/114/286 BCF (Low/Best/High Estimates) in the ERCE Competent Persons Report dated November 2017 and the award of 48/24a has secured all this volume for IOG in conjunction with licence P2085.
Resources in the other discoveries and prospects on the block will be subject to evaluation and appraisal following the results of the 3D seismic reprocessing.
Goddard P2438:
IOG was offered Blocks 48/11c & 48/12b in the 30th UKCS Seaward Licensing Round and has accepted licence P2438 which contains Goddard, hitherto known as Glein, which is a dormant gas discovery proved up by five wells drilled between 1985 and 2010. Management estimates of the contingent resources on Goddard are 1C/2C/3C 45/189/396 BCF. The work commitment on this licence is to reprocess existing 3D seismic data to pre-stack depth migration level and to drill one firm well within 3 years from licence start date on 1 October 2018.
Abbeydale P2442:
IOG was offered Block 53/1b in the 30(th) UKCS Licensing Round and has accepted licence P2442 which contains the Abbeydale dormant gas discovery, hitherto known as Aberdonia, which was discovered in 1996. On this licence the work commitment is to reprocess existing 3D seismic data to pre-stack depth migration level.
Management estimates contingent resources on Abbeydale are 1C/2C/3C 5/11/24 BCF. The new 3D seismic work program is expected to increase these estimates to more commercial levels with a view to tying into IOG's Thames pipeline as the export route.
UK - Northern North Sea ('NNS')
Skipper
The Company's focus remains on its SNS operated gas hubs. At Skipper, a reservoir engineering study has been commissioned to inform our technical understanding of the licence ahead of the licence expiry in February 2019. The project remains commercially unattractive owing to the heavy nature of the oil.

Financial Review
Income statement
The post-tax loss for the first six months of 2018 was GBP2.56 million, compared to GBP1.41 million for the first six months of 2017 and GBP2.75 million for full year 2017.
The current period loss includes charges of GBP0.48 million for other administration expenses (1H 2017 - GBP0.31 million), impairment charges of GBP0.15 million (1H 2017 - GBPnil), project and pre-acquisition expenses of GBP0.29 million (1H 2017 - GBP0.55 million), a net loss on settlement of creditors of GBP0.11 million (1H 2017 - GBP0.04 million), an exchange loss of GBP0.13 million (1H 2017 - GBP0.14 million gain) and finance expenses of GBP1.40 million (1H 2017 - GBP0.66 million).
The exchange loss of GBP0.13 million for the current period, compared to a gain of GBP0.14 million for the equivalent period of 2017 reflects fluctuations in exchange rates for US$ denominated trade and loan creditors.
Finance expenses include GBP0.49 million (1H 2017 - GBP0.17 million) of loan and financing charges calculated on an effective interest rate basis, plus GBP0.91 million (1H 2017 - GBP0.49 million) of accrued loan and other interest, net of capitalised interest charged to development assets.
Statement of financial position
Oil and gas properties held as non-current assets of GBP34.82 million at 30 June 2018 (31 December 2017 - GBP21.50 million) represents capital expenditures assigned to the Thames Pipeline together with capital expenditures on the Group's Blythe, Elgood and Vulcan Satellites pre-development interests, plus expenditures on the Harvey appraisal property. Current assets include GBP0.30 million UK VAT receivable (31 December 2017 - GBP0.29 million). Current liabilities include an amount of GBP2.88 million due to LOG (31 December 2017 - GBPnil) representing amounts due on loan facilities and GBP1.71 million owing to Oyster Petroleum Holdings Limited (31 December 2017 - GBP1.64 million) representing deferred consideration payable on approval of the Vulcan Satellites' Hub FDP, estimated 1 October 2018. Other current liabilities include trade and other creditors of GBP7.91 million (31 December 2017 - GBP4.83 million) including deferred amounts owing to both GE Oil & Gas UK Ltd and Transocean Drilling UK Limited in respect of the Skipper well drilled in 2016. Non-current liabilities include GBP22.19 million owing to LOG (31 December 2017 - GBP12.39 million) representing amounts due on loan facilities less prepaid financing costs. Also included are provisions of GBP4.58 million (31 December 2017 - GBP4.37 million) for deferred consideration payable on first gas from both Blythe and the Vulcan Satellites, estimated 1 January 2020. There is also a decommissioning provision of GBP3.60 million (31 December 2017 - GBP3.60 million) representing the abandonment liability which was included as part of the Vulcan Satellites' acquisition in October 2016.
Cash flow
After adjustment for non-cash items, cash used in operations was GBP1.88 million (1H 2017 - GBP0.84 million). Investing activities comprised the purchase and acquisition of oil and gas properties of GBP5.30 million (1H 2017 - GBP0.70 million). This was principally funded through net borrowings of GBP11.68 million (1H 2017 - GBP1.45 million). The cash balance at the end of the period was GBP4.61 million (31 December 2017 - GBP0.15 million).
Funding and liquidity
The Board has reviewed the Group's cash flow forecasts up until December 2019 having regard to its current financial position and operational objectives. These forecasts indicate that the Group will need additional funding to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due in the next eighteen months. The Board is satisfied that the Group will have sufficient financial resources available to meet its commitments based on the amount of available cash within the Group, its existing debt facilities that can be drawn down, the likelihood of it being able to secure additional funding from existing stakeholders or new investors and to agree either the rescheduling of certain existing liabilities to creditors or conversion of such amounts to equity. Additionally, the Group can cut discretionary expenditure and reduce financing requirements further. Accordingly, the Board continues to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of this financial information.
Risks and uncertainties
The Group operates in the oil and gas industry, an environment subject to a range of inherent risks and uncertainties. Being at an early stage in the Group lifecycle, the prime risks to which the Group is subject to are the access to sufficient funding to continue its operations, the status and financing of its partners, changes in cost and reserves estimates for its assets, operational delays and failures, changes in forward commodity prices and the successful development of its oil and gas reserves. Further details can be found in the audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.
Key performance indicators
The Group's main business is the acquisition and exploitation of oil and gas acreage. Non-financial performance is tracked through the accumulation of licence interests and the successful discovery and exploitation of oil and gas reserves.
Outlook
The Company made excellent progress in the first half of 2018, focusing its efforts on realising the potential of its SNS gas hubs. The completion of the acquisition of PL370 and the demonstration of its viability transforms this project as we can provide a stable export route for the Company's gas assets straight to the UK market and NTS. Progress is also being made on funding the project through development to production. The effectiveness of our strategy has also been demonstrated by the very encouraging additions to the portfolio acquired in the 30(th) UKCS Seaward Licensing Round.

Notes to the financial statements
for the six months ended 30 June 2018
Notes
(i) Basis of preparation
The financial information contained in this announcement does not constitute statutory financial statements within the meaning of Section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. The financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2018 is unaudited. It is prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as used for the year ended 31 December 2017 and those which are anticipated to be relevant to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. In the opinion of the directors the financial information for this period fairly presents the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period in compliance with IFRS.
IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'
The Group does not foresee any major impact following the adoption of IFRS 9 and no accounting adjustments have been made, with reference to the LOG loans, in the financial statements for the six months to 30 June 2018. This will be reviewed, and potential adjustments made, in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018. The Group's accounting policy has been revised to reflect the requirements of IFRS 9.
The Group's accounting policy for IFRS 9 is set out below:
a) Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities
IFRS 9 requires the use of two criteria to determine the classification of financial assets: the entity's business model for the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. IFRS 9 goes on to identify three categories of financial assets - amortised cost; fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL); and fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). The accounting for the Group's financial liabilities remains largely the same as it was under IAS 39. Akin to the requirements of IAS 39, IFRS 9 requires contingent consideration liabilities to be treated as financial instruments measured at fair value, with the changes in fair value recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
b) Impairment
IFRS 9 mandates the use of an expected credit loss model to calculate impairment losses rather than an incurred loss model, and therefore it is not necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised. The new impairment model applies to the Group's loan commitments. The IFRS 9 impairment model requiring the recognition of 'expected credit losses', in contrast to the requirement to recognise 'incurred credit losses' under IAS 39, has not had any impact on the Group's financial statements.
Trade receivables are generally settled on a short time frame and the Group's other financial assets are due from counterparties without material credit risk concerns at the time of transition.
The comparatives for the full year ended 31 December 2017 are not the Company's full statutory accounts for that year. A copy of the statutory accounts for that year has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors' report on those accounts was unqualified, did not include references to any matters to which auditors drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and did not contain a statement under section 498(2)-(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
(ii) Loss per share
The calculation of loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period of 121,246,613 (30 June 2017: 109,305,966). Diluted loss per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of ordinary shares plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued upon conversion of potentially dilutive share options and warrants into ordinary shares. As the result for all three periods presented was a loss, the calculation of the diluted LPS was anti-dilutive and therefore the potential ordinary shares were ignored for the purposes of calculating diluted LPS. The weighted average number of ordinary shares on a diluted basis at 30 June 2018 is 149,393,771.
(iii) Dividend
The Directors do not recommend payment of a dividend.
(iv) Post Balance Sheet Events
a) GBP15M Loan Facility
An additional GBP15M loan facility was signed with LOG on 13 September 2018, primarily to fund the Harvey appraisal well, forecast spud date January 2019. This incorporates the issue of 20 million warrants to LOG, with an expiry date of 5 years following drawdown of the facility.
b) First Gas - Southwark & Blythe
First gas is now anticipated in late Q2 2020 for Southwark and late Q3 2020 for Blythe.
