Serenity is a big success, its not "another discovery" in the north sea, its a unique field that has a world class economics.
If you told the bod on august that lib east will fail but serenity will be succesfull they would go out to celebrate (and then the sp was at 60p).
Lib east was never the vision, it was only a mean to fund the real assets the company believed it got and that as been proven big time with serenity's drill results.
No doubt, these two nice guys are smart and capable but their rookie mistakes put the sp where it is today though there is no way it can stay at this price for long, that kind of mistakes is part of investing in a new born company.
What makes serenity a world class field and probably one of the best breakeven project in the north sea?
1. Its an extension of rre and repsols tain field that is being planned for developement as we speak, which means it was born with "royal blood".
2. The structure is much simplier then liberator and most likely to have a better porosity.
3. They got their mapping right and have encountered twice the thikness they expected, imagine l2 would proove 160ft of oil coloum where they expected 80ft, that is how big the serenity results are. The bod didnt use that to ramp up but waiting for the appraisals and i respect them for that.
4. They hit a deeper unexpected resource yet to be appraised.
5. The quality of the sands is very high.
6. The tie in to the bleoholm creates higher value and quick development.
So what is the value of serenity once appraised?
I believe that after two more appraisals serenity will proove 120m bboe of reserves.
At that point i assume rre and repsol will hold 60% of the field.
Bboe in the ground, with fdp in sight, repsol operator, high quality of sands and tie in to the bleoholm goes for conservative 8$ for bboe, that means that at that point serenity will value around 1b$.
40% will value 400m$ net to i3e.
That is less then 1 year away from now when we are valued 18m$.
Value will be unlocked in the short run by the companies anni****ives to fund the drills, negotiating farm out and planning next summers campaign, and then in closing the deals and moving forward to the drills.
The next campaign will be more promising then this years as we have serenity with better then expected result.
I will hold my shares all the way as a good outcome of the appraisals which i have no doubt will be good will take the company to a different league and can deliever a multi bagger year with potential to create a 400m$ value with no big dillutions.
