Increase of proven gas reserves in Grand-Est (1P), multiplied by 11

4 December 2018

La Française de l’Énergie (Euronext : LFDE – ISIN : FR0013030152) affiche une augmentation très significative de ses réserves de gaz en Moselle après la nouvelle certification réalisée par MHA Petroleum Consultants, spécialiste mondialement reconnu dans la certification des ressources de type gaz de charbon.

Les réserves prouvées 1P, qui désignent les quantités de gaz dont les chances de récupération et de rentabilisation sont d’au moins 90%, ont été multipliées par 11 par rapport à la dernière certification réalisée en 2016.

Véritables actifs du Groupe, ces réserves 1P s’inscrivent désormais à 1,78 milliard de m3 de gaz. Cette très importante augmentation des réserves prouvées se réalise alors même que la société finalise son test de production sur le site de Lachambre.

De même, les réserves probables 2P et possibles 3P ont significativement progressé, portant les nouvelles réserves certifiées (1P, 2P et 3P) de LFDE dans le Grand Est à 6,7 milliards de m3 de gaz au total, en augmentation de 122% par rapport à 2016; ces réserves représentent une rentabilité nette1 estimée à plus de 161 millions d’euros sur la durée de la concession. La totalité des réserves certifiées en 2018 se situe dans le périmètre de la demande de concession jusqu’en 2040, déposée le 28 novembre dernier.

Ces chiffres sont à mettre en perspective avec la production actuelle qui s’établit à près de 60 millions de m3 par an pour un chiffre d’affaires proche de 7 millions d’euros, ce qui lui ouvre des perspectives de croissance considérables.

Cette nouvelle certification sur les actifs lorrains permet de porter l’ensemble des réserves probables 2P du Groupe à 11,34 milliards de m3.

Confiant dans le développement de ses activités en Moselle, dans les Hauts-de-France et en Wallonie, le Groupe confirme son objectif d’un chiffre d’affaires de 35 M€ à horizon de l’exercice 2020-2021.

Promises won't impact
climate change.
Your local resources, will.

Climate change is an undeniable reality. We can already see its serious consequences for our planet. It is now urgent to act.

At FDE, we refuse to participate in initiatives that generate pollution beyond our borders, even if they reduce the carbon footprint of our local territories. Whether it is a question of carbon footprint or pollution, there are no limits.

It is our duty to build sustainable energy solutions that move towards global carbon neutrality. Today, the most resilient and sustainable energy solution is even more self-evident: it is imperative that energy remains local, within short supply chains, as close as possible to the needs of local communities and consumers.

Considering these, at FDE, we are taking actions and offering tailor-made, local multi-energy solutions.

By making the most of local resources, our offer enables us to provide territories with energies with a triple benefit: reduced carbon footprint, economically competitive and contributing to the socio-economic development of the area. We choose abandoned sites, make the most of the potential of local suppliers and service providers, and participate in a local center of expertise that involves universities, local authorities and associations in the local energy project.

FDE lacks neither the resources nor the know-how to deploy tailor-made energy solutions for everyone and for the planet.

Our engineers embrace the energy transition with a pragmatic view.

Recovering abandoned mine gas avoids fatal gas emissions into the atmosphere, while local coal gas reduces the need to import much more carbon-intensive gases. Abundant solar energy is both local and renewable.

To support the energy transition, at FDE, we are constantly innovating, looking for new solutions for the future, such as hydrogen, a decarbonized energy, or CO2 sequestration in coal.

In addition, all energy produced by our Group is designed to be more virtuous. All these processes therefore make FDE the only French energy producer with a negative carbon footprint.

This culture of risk prevention and control applies to all employees, partners and suppliers. It involves setting concrete objectives and deploying action plans as part of a continuous improvement process to better anticipate tomorrow's challenges. This policy is reviewed annually, as are the associated indicators and targets.
