Trying to put a value on us without the debt and the hedge....5 Jun 2022 10:18
We're pumping around 50k bpm @ a retail price of around $110 = $5.5mill a month....minus our overheads and royalties ect.
Would I be right in guessing around $3 mill profit pm.....
Not sure how many times earnings is used to put a valuation on oil companies atm, but I'm guessing x5 is very conservative.
If my total uneducated guessing is anyway near right, that would value us at $180 mill.
To me that's a bargin basement price for ...
1. The revenue we are producing
2. The potential increase in revenue when the pressure relief pipes are connected up.
3. The asset itself, which is a new non flaring field at the start of production.
4. Now, let's not forget, the potential monster find that we are about to reveal ( if Art has called it right )
ALL THIS FOR $180 MILL IF WE HAD NO DEBT.
My question now is, is Art going about this the right way, slowly drip feeding the company funds via crazy diluting placings, while all our profits are paid to the high interest loans and ridiculous hedge. My biggest fear here is that the financial backers are controlling Arts decisions to their benefit and by not letting Copl partner.
I could see potential suiters lining up to partner us, let's just say 50% for $100 mill, that would make us debt free, profitable and self funding, plus after clearing out debts any balance would fund our new wells.
I think my above valuations are very conservative but I hope you see what Im getting at and the partnership is the way forwards, better to take your hatched chicks now than leave them sitting in the basket to wither away via dilution.
