RE: Niles Well Played Ecuador Key30 Jun 2018 21:03
You are right about the PR being terrible.
Things I would do differently if I was involved in the management of this company would be different.
CP05 wells will be key to hitting the exit rate this year, if they come in that could potentially add 10p to the share price alone, given the region to the north has fields producing 50k a day without looking at the seismology it could well be in the same region, so 15k for amer's share.
Things they have done well is the acquisitions during the down turn, to pick up CP05 for what they got it for is an absolute steal.
They need to confirm the requirements of the pumping station to increase flow, pretty obvious in my eyes that this is the issue but the market needs this confirming if so. I'd like to see current status of all the wells, flow rates, chokes, water cut, treatments required (commonly used in the industry to keep wells producing), as wells age they require more maintenance, but they also have the possibility of using Fracking to break open their larger wells, don't think this is big in the region at the minute as its all about NA but it's something that can be complete relatively quickly if the well is compatible. But again the production isn't where this play is at, it's all about the drilling, increasing reserves and NAV. I can't see any value in the share price for the acreage or OBA at the minute which suggests how much its over sold, i'm actually thinking now there are allot of people Long in this share which could in turn be holding it back. I've got a long position as well as my shares, time will tell if it is the correct move or not. The long position is purely for tax reasons.
