Find me a better cash cow24 Dec 2021 12:49
Even at 200p a therm, at a boe opex of £11, Serica will be clearing £100 a boe of operating cash flow. From 1st Jan at 30k boepd, that is £90m a month in operating cashflows. Capex will be minimal. Shareholder returns enormous! Compare to Thungela for example, they are in a risky jurisdiction with thefts in the railway line. They can’t ship their coal and so running out of stockpiling space and have had to mine all their high grade ore due to low sales volumes. Management have said they can’t access funds and so their cash pile has to stay within the company and won’t be distributed. Serica is the share to be invested in long term!
