Conclusions
It is not possible to precisely quantify the financial upside potential for TomCo
at this stage. The profitability of the separation is still subject to the results of
ongoing studies.
Nonetheless, we find it instructive to consider the total revenue opportunity
relative to the current market cap of the company.
At a production volume of 10,000 bpd and at the current market price of US
$46.40 (Low Sulphur Fuel Oil) this would equate to US$464k per day of revenue.
Compared with TomCo’s current market cap of £3.1mln, we argue that this
revenue opportunity could represent significant upside for TomCo shareholders.
This is made economically possible by the unique characteristics of the new
separation process
Unique characteristics of the new oil sands
separation process
• An output product of low sulphur fuel oil, which requires no further refining
• A modular production system with low capex requirement
• Modest water requirement, and no “dirty” sand to be remediated at the end
of the process
