just want to highlight the best bits from IC:
"There is also potential for positive news flow on the ongoing farm-out process of Parkmead’s flagship Greater Perth Area (GPA) development project, one of the North Sea's largest undeveloped oil projects (‘Profit from a North Sea farm-out’, 1 August 2022). It has scope to deliver 75-130mn boe (P50 basis) and provide value-adding volumes to surrounding infrastructure through field life extension. With UK energy security high on the agenda, and Brent crude trading above $90 a barrel, or more than double GPA’s $35 a barrel operating break-even, both the economics and oil price environment are supportive for a successful farm-out.
Wright has placed a $133mn (95p a share) risked valuation on Parkmead’s interest in the GPA project, or $533mn (380p) on an unrisked basis, so it forms half of the brokerage’s total risked valuation of 194p a share (up from 164p). Effectively, it’s in the price for free given that the combined valuation of the Netherland gas assets, wind farms and net cash are worth more than the company’s market capitalisation of £61mn.
Having first suggested buying, at 37p, in my 2018 Bargain Shares Portfolio, I believe that the shares are worth buying ahead of the forthcoming results. Buy."
