May well be true that there's more co2 eor operators down the line but PRD still seem to be in a very good position with their first mover advantage for now and from their 20 Jan RNS they're already garnering a great deal of interest..
Business development
· The pre-Pilot CO2 EOR success has de-risked CO2 EOR in Trinidad and has provided the commercial, environmental and technical model for future projects.
· Capitalising upon this proven, fully integrated, working business model, expertise, and the exclusivity of liquid CO2 supply by introducing a fee-paying and profits-sharing service under the commercial model established by the Company for Inniss-Trinity CO2 EOR, is now a practical near-term objective of the Company. Five in-country operators and two international State oil companies have made initial exploratory approaches to assess suitability of CO2 EOR for some of their producing, mature, oil field assets.
· Enhanced Oil Recovery is likely to become a key component of work programme commitments required to extend Incremental Production Service Contracts. The successful CO2 EOR Pilot has demonstrated a practical and potentially more efficient alternative to waterflood and has established the Company as the leading services provider for mobile CO2 injection for enhanced oil recovery. The successful development of the CO2 EOR business in Trinidad allows the business to be valued on the basis of its assets, invested project costs, existing contracts, goodwill and CO2 EOR operational experience."
Quietly hoping that by the time they spud Morocco they'll have built a co2 business worthy of a £30m marketcap so we don't have an issue with downside if the drill disappoints.
