Key statements relating to Barryroe:
*"Reached key commercial terms with JV"*
*"Well location agreed by JV"*
*"Rig procurement process underway"*
*"Project Manager appointed"*
*"Plan to issue procurement of drilling unit early in Q1"*
The fact that PVR have �35m in cash, no debt means they actually have the cash to fund their share of the net 80% interest to drill both an appraisal and a sidetrack so don�t actually need a JV for these. This puts them in a much stronger position as any potential JV will realise this, and that pending a successful appraisal would be paying a lot more to farm in hence putting the pressure on them to make the decision now. PVR will be drilling H2 farm in or no farm in.
Farm in though is what im holding out for as it will totally de risk this play fully funding it in to full production. That will totally rerate this share to 50p+ you simply cant argue with the numbers back that up, they themselves being conservative.
The ones trying to deramp this are saying the JV isnt a done deal," read the last statement/caviat" etc etc the fact of the matter is
A - it is a Nomad requirement to add that statement to any such deal that is nearing a completion conclusion.
B - CEO would not risk having egg on his face even if the deal is 99% complete he would still include that statement from past history he wont make the same mistake again getting up false hopes.
Read the above statements and make your own mind up, to me it all falls in to place. Oil price is flying, closing in on $70 whilst rig rates are lower than ever, economics for this have never been better.
2016 and 2017 were the second lowest and lowest (respectively) major oil discoveries on record worlwide. Major oil discoveries are on the decline so super majors are now turning towards appraising existing oil discoveries. We have weathered the bottom of the oil market now time to reap some of the most favourable conditions the market has ever presented with regarding to developing this asset and producing serious cashflow.
60m mcap, no debt, 35m in cash. 280mmbol net 2c resources that flowed 4000boepd from a vertical well and projected to flow 14,500boepd from a sidetrack when drilled.
Total resource following further appraisal could be 1billion barrels net to PVR. Target production rate for the field is 100,000boepd.
I see such a fantastic opportunity here hence I loaded another 220k shares here Thursday averaging up. I was waiting for a pull back from 14p before doing so as knew a pullback is inevitable after such a rise. Simple market mechanics, Now I see the next leg moving to 18p ahead of farm in news.
Exciting times here.
