No problem NM, if we ever go down this route (a big if) with Trafigura on board and its a success it would be transformational.
The Martinez Del Tineo (MDT) Deep Gas/Condensate Prospect
GCA had previously assessed that President had unrisked recoverable Best Estimate Prospective Resources as of 31 October 2011 of 570 Bcf of gas and 14.5 MMbbls of condensate relating to the MDT deep Paleozoic gas/condensate prospect. The GCA economic evaluation of the unrisked Best Estimate Prospective Resource gave a NPV10 value of US$1,028 million calculated at a gas price of US$4/MMBtu and a condensate price of US$65/bbl.
As a result of recent technical studies, including studies undertaken by President on previously unrecorded nearby out-crop sections, re-processing of all regional seismic and incorporation of recent knowledge from the exploration successes across the border in Paraguay, President has now high-graded its management estimates of the Prospective Resource and included associated prospects in President's adjacent Matorras Licence area.
President has now assessed that the unrisked recoverable Best Estimate Prospective Resource for the MDT prospect as of 30 June 2015 is 2.3 Tcf of gas and 59 MMBbls of condensate, with an overall chance of success of 25%.
With the inclusion of the Prospective Resources in the neighbouring Matorras Licence, the aggregated, unrisked recoverable Best Estimate Prospective Resource for these Paleozoic prospects as of 30 June 2015 is 6.6 Tcf of gas and 166 MMBbls of condensate.
The MDT prospect can be explored by the deeper leg of a development well at the MDT field drilled to intersect and produce the shallower proven and probable oil reserves, thereby saving costs of a dedicated exploration well. The deeper exploration leg in MDT would also act as a test of concept for the Paleozoic Prospective Resources in the Matorras Licence which are dependant prospects.
Current gas prices in Argentina are running at US$7.5/MMBtu and in excess of US$70/bbl for condensate.
Armed with the new long term Concession, President is continuing discussions with potential strategic partners relating to this prospect.
A new presentation on the MDT deep gas and associated prospects is now available on President's website.
