Reading all the posts about our potential MCap made me get my calculator out. Now, I'm no oil expert so please don't shoot me down for having a basic stab at valuing this, but here goes.......
We have 220m shares in issue.
We have $58m of cash/equity.
This equates to a current sp of 21p.
Block 3/5 will give us 4,000bpd and 20 million barrels of P2 reserves.
If we assume a very conservative $75 per barrel and an AISC of $35, then we get $40 per barrel of profit.
If we assume production of 350 days per year then that gives us 4000barrels x $40 x 350 days = $56million FCF per year.
(I don't know what kind of downtime could be involved in maintenance etc, so I've gone for 1.25 days per month as a pure guess).
Now, if you extrapolate that across the next 10 years (see the latest presentation), we get $560 million FCF. We then deduct the upfront $80million payment and the $50m payment that's spread over 10 years, then we get a figure of $430 million. In addition to this we can add the P2 reserves. After 10 years of production these would be reduced to 6 million barrels (having produced 1.4 million barrels annually for 10 years). I believe OIP is valued at between $1-2 per barrel. Taking the mid figure of $1.50 per barrel, that would give us another $9 million. This gives us a total of $439 million over 10 years.
Therefore with a P/E of 10, and a $/£ exchange rate of 1.25, I calculate a share price of £1.59 plus our current assets of 21p. Giving a grand total of £1.80 per share.
For those wanting to use the current oil price, then just add 15.9p to the £1.80 for each year you think oil will be at current levels.
Of course, this all depends on how the market values our P/E. If they decide to give up a P/E of 2, then our sp will be 36 pence! :(
The above doesn't take account of the current high oil price (I've only used $75), Odewayne, Block 23, any increase in production at Block3/5 or any other deals that P McD may possibly have in the pipeline.
Grateful for any constructive thoughts, but please no abuse! As I said at the biginning of my post, I'm no oiler :)
