RE: New sweepstake: guess the share price on successful Percy-1 spud result17 Oct 2020 07:18
StarChild - It's a bit of an over simplification from you i.e. no production rates given, but happy to throw my guesswork in. There are two targets remember on this drill and any oil shows in the shallower depth will obviously be good news and boost the SP. If the mother load depth is successful then it will be take off. My OPEX based on an FPSO would be in the region of $100MM per year, that includes paying off a loan over 8 years to cover the main CAPEX items (drilling 6 production wells e.g.). Key to the SP apart from POO is the initial production rate. I have taken 25,000 bbl/d for 347 days per year 25% royalties to BG. That gives me an SP of 31p using a P/E ratio of 10. Increasing production to 35,000 bbl/d would take the SP nearer 50p. Assuming it takes a fast track 2 years to go from discovery to production and only 25,000 bbl production I would be looking at 20p SP on successful spud. There is still no update yet on T&T assets (500 bbl/d by end 2021 and 2500 bbl/d by end 2022) so I would only add 1p for now giving me 21p by end of day following announcement of discovery. Pre-spud therefore 6-8p.
That's my conservative **** on the block over to the rest of you punters...
