RE: The Market has..............25 Feb 2020 11:08
I don't agree.
The market has sold us down to these lvels bcos ;
1. Spirit's situation has let them unable, or unwilling, to commit to progress on Lincoln/Warwick.
2. The OGA, inexplicably, has ordered a (possibly reversible) P&A on the Lincoln well, and required us to relinquish Whirlwind (for no good reason I can see).
3.The OGA, again, has insisted on appraisal, rather than production, wells being drilled on Lancaster (tho it seems one will likely now be a producer).
that means a book entry (non cash) w/off in 2019 of c. $60m (?) re Whirlwind ; and a capex program of appraisers in 2020.
However, all the above still leaves HUR, imho, with a desrrved MCap well above current levels.
The big driver down from 30p level, again imho, has been the constant doubting of the water cut data and HUR's interpretation, largely by posters om TLF with a level of technical expertise beyond most PIs. This has led many to worry that Lancaster will fail to met expectations either of production or reserves.
HUR have, again imho, done what they can to quell these doubts, and their statements (and in context, lack of them) are saying there is no problem, the reservoir is performing as expected.
But all the other issues, even PoO, can be placed on one side for now. If, as I believe, HUR know what the reservoir is doing far better than the doubters on TLF, this is a screaming BUY. If you believe the posters on TLF, you shouldn't be here. Simples.
