Hope you don't mind me reposting Tiburn...
These are the facts, all sourced data:
- USA asset, stable regime, low tax, pro oil Wyoming
- Incline curve, young field at start of production cycle
- Rising WTI price and rising demand
- Established experienced technical team inherited with best plan on approach to develop the field given funding and tech support from COPL - both now enabled
- New topside is in place - bought and paid for and recently enhanced for higher pressure prod
- Very low Opex - wind farm even provides electricity for the field
- Operating net-backs are c. $50/bbl.
- ROI: 58.3%; $2.18/bbl. acquisition cost on P2 reserves verses a value of $7.52/bbl. at NPV (10%) @ deal value $39/bbl. WTI - since increased by 77%
- Proven and probable net 24.7m P2 reserves
- Re baselined oil in place for Cole Creek to 117m barrels, potential for 2P enhanced confidence
- Fed Deep exploration unit being drilled right now, with known 3 reservoirs from 1950s drill - results expected in September
- BFU 20 infill , injection and production drills planning in 2021 for drilling 2022.
- CC has 2 to 4 drills planned targeting Frontier reservoir - can produce upto 1,000 bopd per well
- CC well recompletion - 2 out of 12 complete - cheap and rapid way to increase production, followed by gas flood which will increase it again towards 3.500 bopd - field defined by drilling
- High pressure BFU and CC systems - greater prod
- BFU gas flood success way above modelled - faster time to gain higher bopd values and revenue in critical early stages this year
- Invested in and secured gas flood bullets supply for $1.5m capex so no constraints on supply going forward
- Majors Continental and Exxon active and drilling in licenses adjacent, discoveries made
- Working interest likely to increase
- Cash rich -$30m on account, owed over $10m by CUDA
- Growing sales revenue daily
- $20m draw down facility
- Low debt maintenance costs of $240k per month over 4 years, well covered by production
- Intent to acquire more assets in Wyoming
- II major investment banks have taken a position, likely more joined this week, +£500k trades
and .......
