Excellent update12 Mar 2020 07:45
So 60% hedged at $57 for 2020
40%hedged at $52 for 2021
Break even is $45
So we can tread water at a $30 dollar environment
Capex cut by a third and admin saving of $200m pencilled in over the next 3 years
The part people are missing is the disposals element with an anticipate $1 billion value - labelled "portfolio management"
Note from RNS:
Cash forecasts have been updated in light of the oil price volatility seen in early 2020, with the base case run using a forward curve of $38/bbl for 2020 and $43/bbl for 2021, and a downside sensitivity run at $30/bbl for both 2020 and 2021. As described on page 7, the Group benefits from its hedging policy, meaning that the impact of reduced oil prices in the going concern period is mitigated, in particular through 2020. Furthermore, the Board has plans to raise in excess of $1 billion from portfolio management activities in 2020.
All in all a very good update, whicj is better than expected and I expect a number to be buying today, as I think we will see a squeeze upwards.
If portfolio management is worth $1 bil then isn't the current market cap a joke and wouldn't somone want to drop in a bid of 70p+ I think they well might. Those hedges are a god send and I think Russia and Saudi will come to an arranagement and oil will head towards $50 as a minimum.
