Amerisur Resources
Finals today from Amerisur but all the information is in the price and I will report back from the conference call should anything emerge. It was by any standards an excellent year for the company, revenue was up 28% to $108.2m, adjusted EBITDA was up by 72% to 34m and with cash of $44.1m and no debt the company reported an operating profit of $11m ($0.3m).
Production was 5,356 b/d with 4,113 b/d through the OBA where delivery of the Chiritza pumping station increased the capacity right within the Petroamazonas pipeline system to a minimum of 9,000 b/d. This opens up the possibility for exporting third party crude ‘in the coming months’. Exploration success at CPO-5 now firmly establishes production from that field and diversifies the production base whilst the farm-out with Occidental Andina adds a $93.5m exploration and appraisal programme in the Putamayo, bringing forward valuable drilling. The company also acquired the 100% stake in the Putamayo 14 block and after the period end acquired the remaining 50% of Putamayo 8 for $19.1m.
Going forward the company has a fully funded work programme of $35m with ten wells planned across the Putumayo and CPO-5. Finally all this success added 27.8% to 1P reserves to 17.82m MMBO and 2P reserves were up 23.6% to 25.59 MMBO. What’s not to like about AMER at the moment, it has had exploration success delivering increasing production and revenue and has free cash flow. With the exciting position at CPO-5, partnering Oxy in the Putumayo and third party revenues from the OBA the company is in a very strong position to show significant growth this year and onwards.
