  • Deeply discounted newbuild premium jackup (TS Jasper) at $216 million plus $41 million for upgrades/startup
  • Uniquely well-suited to operate in severe weather in high demand markets offshore Australia
  • Credit worthy customers – LOI rig contracts in-place at top tier jackup/semi-submersible dayrates
  • Planned integrated RigCo service entity – provides rig services to secure the successful execution of internal oil development and external commercial services to operators in Asia
  • Experienced global oil & gas management team – expertise in onshore and offshore oil & gas exploration, development, and production, as well as drilling and oilfield services

OPPORTUNITY

Worldwide oil & gas production assets outside of OPEC is limited – assets located in politically and economically stable, non-OPEC locations (such as Australia) are highly valued.

  • Global upstream oil & gas reserves continue to deplete on increased production amid limited experienced labor
  • Non-OPEC oil & gas producers, such as the supermajor and major oils continue to struggle to maintain their upstream production and expertise
  • As a result, there is increased interest in non-OPEC offshore drilling, as onshore production is challenged by decline rates

AUSTRALIA – LARGEST GLOBAL EXPORTER OF LNG

Successful history of oil & gas exploration & production since the 1960s, culminating in Australia becoming the largest exporter of LNG, as of 2022.

  • Stable democracy, governed by Rule of Law – low sovereign risk and attractive fiscal terms
  • Strategically located to service the strong Asian LNG markets – such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan

JACKUPS DOMINATE THE ‘HOT’ JACKUP MARKET IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

  • Dayrates for jackups has risen over the past three years on tightened utilization reflecting increased drilling activity by oil & gas producers amid robust oil prices and a shortage of available rigs
  • As of December 2023, dayrates averaged $180,000 for premium jackups in Australia versus $165,000 in Southeast Asia, and $150,000 in the Middle East
  • Dayrates for jackup rigs are projected to continue to increase, with premium jackup dayrates topping $200,00 over the next five years reflecting increased drilling activity amid a shortage of rigs and record low book orders for new rigs (less than 2% of the fleet)

SOLUTION/STRATEGY

Greenbond Group is a US-based independent oil & gas exploration and production company with on offshore oil assets offshore Northwest Shelf of Australia, assisted by its oilfield service and drilling subsidary.

  • TS Jasper jackup rig – newbuild premium jackup well-suited to serve Australia’s offshore oil & gas market
  • Honeybee production system (MODPU and FSO) moved in sequence to each field
  • Production wells will be dry tree completed and MODPU includes the drilling package which will be used for plugging & abandoning the wells; environmental impact minimized by having no fixed platform

TS JASPER DRILLING RIG (SINGAPORE)

Premium jackup rig capable of competing with semi-submersibles.

  • Low overall operating costs – less supply vessel usage due to high drilling variable deck load (VDL) of 12,000 tonnes
  • Newbuild requiring less maintenance costs
  • Active drilling fluid capacity of 9,000 barrels; rated for 500 feet water depth with advanced in-parallel on-line/off-line capabilities
  • Further enhancements planned – flexibility to use as a Mobile Offshore Drilling & Production Unit (MODPU); power system/engine upgrade; install ESG equipment to reduce carbon emissions during operations

SPECIFIC RISKS

Financial models and other supporting information regarding historical data, hypothetical target returns, contextual analysis, and other pertinent matters will be made available to prospective investors upon request. There is no guarantee of success, and there is a potential for loss of your investment.

Risks related to early-stage company

  • Limited financial history, limited assets, and cash flows

Risks related to liquidity

  • Insufficient capital to acquire/develop oil & gas assets, and/or drilling rig(s)

Risks related to commodity prices

  • Oil & gas prices are impossible to predict and historically have been cyclical in nature

Risks related to the economy

  • Decline in economic demand could negatively impact prices and demand, and prevent expected returns on investment 

Risks related to geology

  • Search for oil & gas involves a high degree of risk including dry holes and lower than expected concentration or production volumes

Risks related to operations

  • Higher than expected drilling costs, blowouts or fires, unexpected equipment / supply chain bottlenecks

Risks related to key persons

  • Expertise is concentrated in a few executives; expansion will require finding experienced executives, geologists, and engineers to fill open positions

Risks related to competition

  • Oil & gas industry is highly competitive with new wells coming on line and new companies entering the market vying for a relatively static and selective pool of prospects, leadership and labor. Existing and/or new entrants, some with deep pockets and global operations, could develop and/or expand to compete in Greenbond markets

Risks related to the regulation and politics

  • State and federal government permits must be in-place in order for drilling and production
  • New legislation and/or change in regulation could negatively impact operations and/or costs

Private securities are speculative, illiquid, and carry a high degree of risk – including the loss of the entire investment.
