Hedges 201918 Apr 2019 17:28
Just a thought .
2018 hedges delivered a net $63.5 for production 80k, not bad considering low hedges .
2019 hedges are significantly better at 40% @ $69 , so PMO have learnt something from Tullow,
As we know $45 is breakeven and our business modelling is based on a $65 net 2019 figure .
We should have delivered most of our hedges in Q1 at $69 if we were sharp enough . In Q2 we should be selling at market levels of $70 + and with this, H1 should be in the bag at around $69 net.
If my limited understanding of hedging is correct .
With oil running between $70- $75 in Q2 , PMO i would presume, should be pushing $70 hedges for H2 as a priority. Achieving a $70 average for the year, rather than $63.5 of 2018 .This reduces the risk of any debt issue substantially and leaves only 2020 as a high risk year .
At a risk of repeating myself , 70% hedges for 2020 @ $70 + would remove 90% of the risk in this share . I believe our poor share performance is still based around our refinancing when the Pi's were bent over and thrashed to save the company .
Pi's had to deal with 300m extra shares , Cb's , 7.4% interest , huge fees for refinance , Creditors dictating operational issues eg Hedging and many other sweetheart deals .
TD and the BOD have looked after all the above and themselves and credit to the guys for EON and Zama while under the Creditors Hammer........ fantastic .
The promised land is now within reach, in May 2021 we are finally free from this Desperate Debt trap and can refinance at around half the present rate . I believe as a LTH Pmo has huge potential which is why i remain invested .TD and the BOD need to deliver returns via growth in share value for long suffering Pi's, achieved by sound, low risk financial performance paying down the debt and hedging .
Zama lets take too production , low capex , low risk $450m for 43k boepd . Will also guide us on Block 30 and Brazil Enough ....... good luck all ..
