BHPBill--operational review September 2013 quarter
Operational highlights for the September 2013 quarter:
- BHPBill maintained strong momentum in the September 2013 quarter as production increased by 11% from the prior corresponding period. Optimisation of the Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) supply chain continues to unlock substantial value with 2014 financial year production guidance raised to 212 million tonnes (100% basis). Full year production guidance is maintained for Petroleum, Copper and Coal.
- Total petroleum production for the September 2013 quarter was a record 62.7 million barrels of oil equivalent. A 16% increase in liquids production was underpinned by significant growth in Onshore US volumes, primarily in the Black Hawk, and the start-up of a new production well at Atlantis. An additional Atlantis production well is scheduled for completion in the second half of the 2014 financial year.
- Queensland Coal continued to benefit from its focus on productivity as it sustained an annualised production rate of 61 million tonnes (100% basis) in the September 2013 quarter.
- Four major projects delivered first production, including the WAIO Jimblebar Mine Expansion where first production was achieved approximately six months ahead of the original schedule. All other projects are tracking to plan.
- BHPBill's ability to simplify its portfolio and focus on our diversified pillars of Petroleum, Copper, Iron Ore and Coal remains an important point of differentiation. Since the beginning of the 2013 financial year the Group has completed major transactions totalling USD6.5 billion, which includes USD2.2 billion received in the financial year to date.
Minerals exploration
Greenfield minerals exploration is focused on advancing copper targets within Chile and Peru. Minerals exploration expenditure in the September 2013 quarter was USD115 million, of which USD105 million was expensed.
