Lansdowne Oil & Gas (LOGP): The Barryroe Bond
We have another “waiting game” opportunity here at Lansdowne Oil & Gas, where the hope is the multi year story of the Barryroe oil and gas field offshore Cork, Ireland, should soon reach its denouement. Having already been kicked and punched by the slings and arrows of the Green Lobby, red tape and multiple parties being involved, shareholders in Lansdowne, as well as Providence (PVR) and San Leon Energy (SLE), are all waiting for a decent conclusion. This optimism took a dent at the end of November when the “signed farm-out agreement” turned out it was missing the bond financing requirement to get the show on the road. However, given the way that the SpotOn consortium should have deep enough pockets and / or rich enough friends to find sub £100m financing against a rising oil price, a happy end to this painfully long affair should be in sight for 2021. Given that Lansdowne shares are trading below their enterprise value and have flushed out carpet baggers in what was a very crowded trade ahead of the farm-out news, even the whiff of a bond deal should lead to a decent reaction in the stock.
