RE: Two Paths, One Goal: to maximize Pantheon's Value13 Mar 2026 08:40
Of course that’s the name of the game but, If any of us were in the shoes of a "Major" we would not want to lose the price, yes, we would certainly use every piece of missing data as a bargaining chip, but we would also be looking at the other value drivers that often outweigh a single flow test:
the resource size is massive and the location is Tier-1, they’ll pay to lock it down now rather than risk a bidding war once commerciality is "proven" and the price triples.
They know have the capital and proprietary tech (lateral lengths, fracking techniques) to extract flow rates a cash-strapped PANR hasn’t been able to never continue
I suspect the Negotiations won’t be "all or nothing." The price point reflects a discounted probability—the Major gets a "deal" for taking the flow risk, but current investors get a higher valuation based on the sheer volume of certified resources.
And the cherry on the pie! Our asset is near existing pipelines (like TAPS), with oil crying out for commerciality. This
Particular Majors will value the proximity to market more than a single test well, as it ensures a faster path to first oil.
And
Asian energy hunger, will be driving competitive bids, whilst prioritizing long-term security over initial flow.
I sold a car once with a knackered gear box to a BMW owner guess who had the upper hand?
Why did he want my car?
Who got a brilliant deal?
My reg had the numbers 320!
What do you think?
PANR has got the number that OH YEH, THE BENTLEY owners want!!!
