CPO 5 Sale- De risks Ecu+Put E&P30 May 2018 19:35
IMO DYOR, JW is tight on cost, which can work against you as did Put 6 and I disagree about Preventative maintenance, if it';s a consumable, like slide 9 ish, its risk after 7m barrels of fluid change refineries do it plan auto change no on failure - if output is to be maintained and on a broader canvass change it FFS. My point JW - I guess would love a $120m cash inflow, that could DE RISK all Ecuadorian investment and timelines, provide civils and infra structure for Colombian E & P and blending and move into the big areas of Tacacho & Terecay 900MMB where large areas and logistics exist and could cover down side risk of drill failure totally covered by cash profits, even acquire more blocks through a cash trade both countries. You have to factor in the Opportunity cost of hanging in there CPO 5 and getting +$50m extra with no control , or getting ahead of the competition with proactive operational investment that +$150 would deliver, the POO affecting CPO5 affects the other investments so its neutral and long as its in the $75-80 range.
Last point, Put 8 could be a diplomatic and logistical dream. By drilling from Suriente East into Put 8 you are potentially locking Put 7 as well , that block Suriente and Put 8 into the OBA, check the map and offer lower cost transport to GTE directly. These guys are playing ball now, a pre-cursor to blending. No wonder we are upgrading the RODA 9k is not enough in 12mths. Quote News Ecuador Minor Fields Initiative : The approximate needed investment is USD 800 million to develop four smaller fields: Drago - CPVEN (Sucumb�os), Guanta Dureno - CPVEN (Sucumb�os), Parahuacu - CNPC (Sucumb�os) and Paka Norte - Vinccler C.A. (Orellana).
The juridical device to be applied is that of the "contract for the provision of specific integrated services with financing from the contractor, for the execution of drilling and completion of wells, reactivation of closed wells; and, construction and expansion of required facilities." The model contract transfers the risk of the investments and results to the contractor, who will bill a variable rate indexed to the WTI Crude marker. With the negotiations of these Minor Fields, an estimated increase in production of 90.8 MMBP is expected during the 10-year term of the contracts. Oil & Gas 2018 Fields: This process is underway and is intended to attract private investment for the Cuyabeno-Sansahuari, Oso, Yuralpa, Blanca-Vinita and Amistad fields, located in the provinces of Orellana, Sucumb�os, Napo and El Oro.
