COPL is a fast growing US-focused oil producer. It holds operated stakes in two adjacent oil fields in Wyoming, including Barron Flats where production is set to triple to a peak of ~7 kbopd (3.2 kbopd net to COPL) within 18 months. “(Tennyson Securities forecast, 19 August 2021)”
Little capital outlay is required to achieve these gains, as Atomic had invested heavily in new facilities and wells over 2018-19
COPL has a strong organic growth story in an accommodating jurisdiction, and an oil friendly state of Wyoming, and its assets offer near-term, low risk/high return development upside
The assets have an inclining production profile with low near-term capital expenditure all internally funded: COPL’s immediate focus will be the Barron Flats unit which has existing infrastructure and wells in place for a near-term step change in production. Current output is trending ahead of forecasts.
The Barron Flats assets are modern, environmentally friendly production facilities, producing high margin barrels: it has state of the art production facilities with no legacy abandonment liabilities, zero gas flaring and electricity sourced from an adjacent wind farm
The neighbouring Cole Creek Unit provides additional oil production growth through workovers and the Barron Flats Federal Deep Unit provides blue sky through exploration.
The Nigerian operations also provide significant potential upside
