Stock re-rate18 Feb 2021 13:18
After the latest operating update, which was clearly a disappointment, the following developments can help ENW to re-rate
1) Results of the latest SV-25 well. Anything above 500-600 boepd should add a few pennies to the share price. Timing - early March
2) Reserves update. Following the completion of the Arkona legal case, I reckon ENW shall prepare a new assessment. Arkona’s 38 mmboe of C1+C2 reserves would likely convert to 20-25 mmboe of 2P reserves. This is a 40-50% increase to the previous assessment. Timing - tbd, depending on when they started/start
3) 1Q cash pile. I reckon ENW will have earned $10+ mn in 1Q. As a result, the cash balance should exceed $70 mn. They will spend it later on on their next well but who cares in the short-term, most people don’t get it anyway
4) VAS-10 well workover. Should minimize production decline at VAS field. Better still, increase it back to 2019 levels. Timing - May
5) VAS license resolution. Unlikely, given no developments for almost two years. Just for completeness sake
6) Last but definitely not least, divi announcement. 2-3p would be great. Depends on how tax efficient it is for Novinsky and whether he is willing to share the cash pile with minority shareholders. Can easily afford it from financial perspective. Timing - hopefully, April
All-in-all, we can expect to hear quite a lot of news in the next couple of months. Fingers crossed, we make a decent profit out of it. Including happy holders and unhappy dreamers))
