Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, on delivering sector-leading returns for shareholders. Watch the video here.
We already know that the BoD and the JTS have shown that SK334 is:
🎆Low cost, low risk, high impact.
🏗️ will have a "drilling campaign."
BoD & Exec meeting in Sarawak, with a focus on:
🔥License undertaking through PSC.
🔥Farmout process.
🔥Well & drill preparation.

A reminder of what Upland is involved in .... and what we are all here for:
SK334:
"Unique amongst the world's remaining lower risk oil & gas plays."
💰$30,000,000 spent.
🔬600sq km seismic shoot.
🛢️Resources could exceed adjacent billion-barrel Seria field.
🔥Low cost, low risk, high impact.

November and December will be key months for us Upland share holders:
✅Final JTS technical report completed & sent to Petros.
✅PSC proposal for SK334 submitted & received positively by Petros.
🇲🇾🔥Executive & BoD to meet Petros in key meeting at end of November.
Upland have already said that at this November meeting, the following are on the agenda:
1. Economic assessment results.
2. Prospecting strategy.
3. Discussion on PSC.
It will be really interesting to hear exactly what this "discussion on PSC" involves and ends in!
https://x.com/bigguyad/status/1728762306496995498?s=20
Worth remembering what we are investing in (aside from the company and all of its experience, links and knowledge!):
Block SK334 – more than just a billion barrel beast
Around $30,000,000 has been spent on analysing and developing the huge Block SK334; including:
🔹600sq km of seismic shoot.
🔹6685sq km FTG & gravity analysis.
🔹Field work study, G&G and Petrel reservoir modelling.
This company making asset is considered to be unique:
🔹Low cost, low risk, high impact.
🔹Estimates suggest significant hydrocarbon resources comparable to neighbouring billion-barrel Seria field.
🔹Potential for Hydrocarbon bearing reservoir at several stratigraphic levels.
🔹Data maps 3 closed structures at multiple horizons.
Upland plan a “drilling campaign” in 2024 and, through their Joint Technical Studies earlier this year, the company announced that they expect SK334 to hold a similar amount of oil to surrounding fields, including the neighbouring billion-barrel Seria field.
In fact, recent company release show preliminary volumetric resource estimates exceeding expectations, with clear signs of hydrocarbons present.
It will be interesting to see what comes of the meeting at the end of November. We know:
✅️ Proposal for SK334 PSC submitted & received positively.
✅️ Executive & Board meeting PETROS in Sarawak in late Nov.
✅️ Advanced stage technical due diligence for drilling campaigns done.
Really does feel like this is company making times.

For genuine Upland investors, this really is a huge time. Culmination of some serious work behind the scenes spanning a life time of work for members of the BoD, multiple years and a ridiculous amount of hours.
A reminder of the upcoming key, share price drivers:
📖Submission Joint Technical Study.
🖊️Confirmation PSC.
🛢️Updated volumetrics.
🏗️Rig hire.
🤝Joint Venture
🚀Drilling campaign.

Worth remembering why Sarawak is so important:
**50% of Malaysia's, & 10% of Asia Pacific's, natural gas reserves.
We've had the hints ("new revenue" / "early commercialisation of onshore" etc) ...... but remember the key:
* Upland was set up for this sole purpose.
* Bol worked for Shell Malaysia and also the Sarawak Legislate for many years.
* You cannot "buy" these kind of contacts and links.
* Sarawak For Sarawakians....

Good article in the Borneo Post:
https://www.theborneopost.com/2023/11/12/sarawak-has-great-potential-to-become-major-energy-powerhouse-says-abg-johari/#:~:text=KUCHING%20(Nov%2012)%3A%20Sarawak,Sri%20Abang%20Johari%20Tun%20Openg.
"Another new source of revenue".... I wonder what that could be!
Also, plenty of "feedstock" for the green energy (carbon capture, gas and oil for blue ammonia and hydrogen). Link the dots perhaps?

It certainly seems like November is heating up and lots of news due.

Another week closer to meetings in Sarawak with the entire executive, Board of Directors and Petros. Big month and big end of year.
https://twitter.com/bigguyad/status/1721205198478078357?t=xjqiqsf1o0jRartggnvBBA&s=19
A better place today here. Hopefully marking a change for the better.
So much to look forward to (in my opinion):
1. JTS finished.
2. PSC announcement.
3. Volumetrics update.
4. Rig contracted.
5. JV announcement.
6. Drilling campaign schedule.
As the BoD have said, fully financed into 2024.

Good find their CDF - interesting and further encouraging news.
Hopefully, this is all starring to add up and push Chuditch...

Great article and links there - thank you.
Even more encouraging news in the area is great to see.

A few great weeks in #UPL....with an imho genuine feel that this is isn't even the starter. So much to come and with a BoD of experts that seem to just "get it". Another week closer to the prize!
https://twitter.com/bigguyad/status/1693258884859736392?t=3fVCuypeYrmu0cQ2uToiIg&s=19
Will be really interesting to see if anything does come of this. Might just be a massive coincidence....but could also be massively encouraging! 😁👍

Direction of travel certainly seems more positive with Timor pushing for getting the gas flowing (hopefully, with Chuditch at the front of the queue!)
Great to see Baron Oil / Sundagas continuing to push Chuditch. Worth noting the new tag line of "Timor-Leste's 2nd largest gas reserve".
https://twitter.com/bigguyad/status/1690721109291782144?t=JzHnBz2RLmRnjRyhnq3VYg&s=19
Will be interesting to see what the next few weeks hold! Hopefully, exciting times. Lots of players in the background as well.
