Risky Share16 May 2021 12:00
There is no doubt this is a risky share to hold. Therefore instis will steer well clear. To me the main risk is now, not in the future so long as there is some good news. The relatively good relationship with the Kazakh govt could sour, it could come down hard on CASP for the breach of licences. The deeps may not flow, they may not hire out the drilling barge, the shallows at MJF may become uneconomic, the controlling family may take the company private for a nominal sum. These are the risks. But the daily hire rate of the CE is around $65000, the deep well have high quality 30 degree plus oil, as soon as one starts producing the 2000 bpd we expect a reserve report for it can be obtained, repeat the process with other deep wells. The share price will respond, I am sure the Koreans will show an interest in the oil assets, its possible CASP will become an oil services company.
