I get the impression that many GKP shareholders look up to Shamaran as a superior company and something to aspire to, but having compared them they are actually an example that makes GKP look very mispriced:
SNM net bopd (most recent Q report): 18k, GKP 35k.
SNM revenue $29M cost of sales $20m, GKP revenue $42m operating costs $14m
SNM net debt $60m, GKP net cash $100m
SNM net reserves (2P) 24.3M bbls, GKP 354M bbls.
SNM EV £465m, GKP EV £314m
So in summary GKP has approx. 2x net production, vastly higher reserves, net cash vs net debt and a lower market cap.
One other key difference in the account is that SNM book the depreciation of their O&G assets under the balance sheet while GKP (in common with others inc. Genel) put it in the P&L as a cost, making SNM look like their making a lot more profit - but they are not.
