Our take: The preparation of the MOU-1 drilling location is an important milestone paving the way for the drilling operations to start during June, subject to the timing of the completion of the current SDX Energy drilling programme in the Rharb Basin. The Company’s MOU-1 well represents another important valuation catalyst for the Predator, and in a success case, could potentially de-risk up to 1,823Bcf of prospective High Estimate gross recoverable gas resources in the Tertiary and in the MOU-4 Prospect to provide the basis for a further drilling programme, including appraisal and exploration wells, when the Star Valley rig becomes available again later in 2021. Whilst the shares are up almost 3x YTD, we believe there remains further running room in the stock to come ahead of an active drilling campaign this year.
