JJAL - considering everyone here seems to be obsessed by simply revenue, and not potential or assets, WD would not have produced any revenue until more than likely at least Q3 next year, wasn’t funded yet, and still had to be permitted, the asset as it was of course had huge potential.
If that asset had been funded, permitted and carried interest, similar to that of ED was there, the valuation it alone would have added to the company would have been huge. It wasn’t valued that highly recently or currently or our SP would have been way higher to start with.
That many wells fully permitted, funded and with a free carried interest generating tens of millions of dollars would have been big.
I don’t underestimate its a blow to our long term goals, but (like nearly all our assets) with our previous and now even lower MCAP none of our current projects are valued any where near their actual potential, with that in mind, I would say the fall is excessive.
Something like £4m wiped off the companies valuation for WD as it was? Not yet financed, not yet permitted and +£4m reduction in MCAP in one day, and considering this was in the public domain on Friday already...
I have nothing to wash my hands off, stated it would be huge if it came off, and also stated we were massively undervalued as it was. I stand by both comments, and still stand by them. WD was never priced in as a project moving forwards imho, and our other assets are worth way more than our current MCAP would place us.
So yes it’s a blow, but it’s a blow to something that was never ultimately priced in the first place imho. Considering whilst increasing acreage and the number of wells we could drill, we continued to fall in price not rise, and now off the table, we fall even more.
Despite the progress in Kansas and ED...
