Last years strachen report suggested the following based only on 80mbbls but as TK has recently said the prize has now got even bigger!
The company is assumed to withdraw from its current 100% position at Block 29/11 offshore China as EME farms out to fund drilling and as CNOOC takes up its option to fund 50% of any discovery from FID to production. On this basis, assuming that a discovery of mmbbls at the lower ris, 4-way dip structure of Jade alone has a 25% POS and that oil in this location might have an insitu value of US$8/bbl, the project is assessed to have a risked value of £24 million to Empyrean, while discovery at this level would be worth £98 million or 20 pence per share to Empyrean.
I’d expect eme to Hold onto more than 5% even post Cnooc back in rights.
