This proves beyond any doubt that the acquisition last year was exceptional with economics that look seriously compelling and just the opportunistic disposals of a portion of the non core, undeveloped acreage has been highly beneficial to Zephyr and added to the fantastic cashflows it brought.
The deal has already paid for itself and demonstrate just how these non-op deals can and do deliver huge value for shareholders, think that it has already paid for itself and Zephyr still have the majority of the reserves still to sell, and those reserves were what the company based the purchase price on at the time…
The deal is a ‘barnstormer’ and with so much left to do is the gift that keeps on giving, it is accretive and adds a powerful metric to the Zephyr portfolio and at current prices delivers massive additional revenues that we should remember were bought to help fund the development of the Paradox Basin.
The very fact that the shares have not risen more sharply today is a mystery to me, as if I could do a deal like this every week I would do so and the Zephyr management team should be congratulated. The recent run however has been good, up 30% in the last six months but with my target price of 20p there should be much more to go. Bucket List inclusion is solid and with so much potential good news to come I remain extremely confident that Zephyr will deliver the goods.
