Having averaged down I'm feeling much more comfortable at sub 1p average.
Having a look at the changing Conoco Phillips Investor presentations over time since 2017 its interesting to see the case made to transition CAPX towards Alaska with advances in technology, this all applies to Charlie 1.
The CP 2019 appraisal drilling campaign at Willow and Narwhal looks very similar to what we will be looking at next year.
Willow Project Description
ConocoPhillips announced a significant new oil discovery named Willow in January 2017. Willow is in the Bear
Tooth Unit in the northeast portion of the National Petroleum Reserve -Alaska (NPR-A). The original Willow
discovery wells, Tinmiaq 2 and 6, were drilled on federal leases in early 2016.
After a successful 2018 exploration and appraisal season in the Greater Willow Area, ConocoPhillips Alaska
released the resource estimate to a range of between 400-750 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE).
The company has proposed a new stand-alone production facility to develop the resource in the Greater Willow
Area. It is estimated that Willow could produce in excess of 100,000 BOPD. Assuming timely permit approvals,
first oil is planned for 2024 – 2025. ConocoPhillips plans further appraisal drilling in the Greater Willow Area in
2019.
