SUMMARY OF THE SECOND HALF YEAR 2017 On the 11 January 2018, the Board of Tulip Oil Netherlands Offshore BV ( the company or TONO ) approved to take final investment decision ( FID ) on the Q10 project. This marked the successful conclusion to many successful actions throughout 2017 to allow Tulips Partner EBN and the board of Tulip to approve the commencement of the Q10 Project for Development. The company will now proceed with developing the field which is expected to become a major offshore producing asset in the Netherlands. The Q10 gas field development will encompass an unmanned offshore platform (Q10-A) with a pipeline tie back to the TAQA operated P15d platform to the south west of the platform. First gas is expected in 2019. Tulip's first exploration well in Q10 Q10 is located close to shore, 20km offshore The Netherlands in water depth of 24m. The company is now looking at a low risk, off-the-shelf 5 well developed envisaged over a 35 year life of field time span. The project main components will be executed under EPCI contracts. The pipeline scope has been awarded to Allseas and the production platform scope to Heerema Fabrication Group. The output is seen as a positive contributor to the Dutch economy and will contribute to offset production reductions from other assets in the Netherlands. TAQA operated P15-D Platform The successful placement of a 87m bond which will soon be traded on the Oslo Børs, has helped create solid foundations for the company to move ahead with this project in a timely manner and deliver first gas. EBITDA for H2 2017 (H1 2017) amounted to a loss of 1,376.9 (loss of 506.2) thousand and EBIT was a loss of 1,376.9 (loss of 567.9) thousand. Net profit/(loss) for the period was a loss of 2,225.3 (loss of 997.8) thousand.
