I actually can't believe the muted response to the Interims today and the market has missed the key messages. Is Casper that unloved or not trusted ? Sooooooo much upside from here and i've added more today !
Concerns
- The only negatives in the Interims were MJF depletion with the loss of 144 and lower rates from 141. The rates are down from the average of 1494 bopd (H1 2020) to 1,268 in 2021, a 15% decline. To add to this, current production is 1,089 without 154 so another 14% decline. 154 produced initially @ 629, maxed @ 730 and now 600 but no choke size detail. The question is obvious, can they sustain 600 and limit decline by doing the workovers that were not done during the period reported.
- We know about the Appeal and that's old news and they have a $3.2m bill pa as a cost set against all BNG and no other charges is a positive.
- SY prod licence still not awarded - hopefully no issues with the authorities
Positives
- Revenue doubles as a result of higher crude price and increase in export v domestic sale %
- Revenues for H2 will be far higher with c 93000 barrels added by year end if rates sustained @ 600bopd. That would add $6.5m t/over to H2.
- GP @ 76%
- OP @ 39%
- Average oil price in H1 @ $50, probably nearer $75 for H2 so a 50% hike
- Increase in export v domestic. A 14% increase from 58 to 66% and hopefully this increases further
- Exploring new acid with Dutch company
- 146 next horizontal well
Really Material News
- 153 close to result and mirroring 154 approach
- A8 drilling to Devonian and 3 oil bearing intervals to be evaluated between 4500 and 4840m
- In advanced discussions on chartering CE for offshore exploration . If they achieved more success on shallows, maybe they could negotiate a % share of the project as opposed to taking the dough ?
I've obviously got this wrong. £65m m/cap and with 154 positive result and SY prod licence, they could be @ c 2.5k bopd and 146 horizontal to follow and hopefully SY HD wells. Oil price average for H2 to be c $75 and the revenue/profitability is building. A result on CE could be imminent and 3AB hopefully to follow soon dependant on licence approval which is proving to be very slow.
This is hugely under priced and a strong buy from me. Money to be made boys and girls and this has turned a corner but market not understanding it but they will.
