This is indeed very good news for Touchstone, Trinidad and shareholders alike. Without too much repetition the development’s numbers are worth reiterating, capacity of 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, 5,000 b/d of liquids, 200 b/d of produced water and storage capacity of 8,800 barrels of liquids makes this a proper, world class asset.
Just to add to that the CEC includes the drilling of eight wells at two well pads (Cascadura B and C) and the establishment of associated pipelines and infrastructure within the Ortoire block which is again a major feat.
Put together with the recent moves at the COHO facility and pipeline, which in itself will be a significant milestone for Touchstone, representing the first natural gas production and expected to double current production on a boe basis, the CEC will complete a massive investment programme by Touchstone who deserve the huge rewards that will be generated this year.
After the COHO announcement last week I put a new TP of some 275p on for Touchstone which this announcement fully rubber stamps, today as I write, the shares are up another 15.8% at 113.5p which shows that there is still significant upside for investors both existing and new. When I first saw the maps of the Ortoire block with Paul it looked like a huge opportunity, with 80% of this he, and the whole management team deserve credit for bringing that into reality.
