I can't quite believe how much this drill has been delayed. Remember this from the 2016-12-05 RNS? 'Additionally, the Company has now completed all necessary civil works for the subsequent Ntorya-3 wellsite.'

Ntorya-3 is the same well as Chikumbi-1, so spud will now be nearly six years since we were told civil works were completed for the well. I was really hoping things would get going next quarter as previously stated, but now we have to wait till November. Topped off with the loss of the excellent Nyuni licence, so no rerun of Cove's success offshore. That's a real shame.

He sure will. With 88.89 million shares he's going to be banging that drum like a maniac from Sado-jima.

Subtle use of the capital C there. Nice.
How many of you are old enough to remember this? See p9.

What happened to all those drills? 4 years later and what have we got. Very poor delivery.
What on earth has happened with those deeper drills? They promised so much but have delivered so little and all at a pace an elderly snail would be embarrassed by. Without the prospect of the deep upside I'm not sure the current market cap is justified on current production especially given the low oil sale price.
Oh yes ... the GSA. I'd forgotten that whilst fixated on Jade and Topaz. No wonder. Don't forget the cross section on seismic and the migration path way from proven kitchen and oil discovery. This drill looks very juicy.

My beady eyes are on the bottom right of Canje for a target in the Golden Lane. CPR should reveal all shortly once the JHI deal completes. That said, my eyes are also on 3B/4B ... and on Amaila-Kumaka ... and on Gazania ... and on potential deals near Venus and Graff and more besides. Ouch, my eyes are hurting. Thanks Gil.
Thanks for the positive feedback. This is a very interesting sector to follow and PRD clearly has significant potential. The line up of drilling should really help drive interest our way this year and unlock the value.
Regarding drilling costs, while only the testing of MOU-1 is currently funded, if you look on p1 of the latest PRD broker note you will see that the total drilling cost of MOU-4 and MOU-5 combined is estimated to be $5-6M, which for a company with a market cap of £41.6M is barely 10% dilution or 5% per well, also known as PEANUTS. Considering we have MOU-1 flow rates first I'd say there's a good chance the dilution required will end up being even more minuscule. I was more than happy to load up more when I realized this.

Give it time. We've had a lot of volume the last few days and the SP has been strong despite the overhang. It's always possible they will keep some warrants for the drill result. They may sell enough to cover the cost of the exercise of those remaining giving them effectively a geared free carry on the drill result. Nice position to be in.

SDX has gas production assets in Morocco and we can see from their most recent results RNS that they got $11.34 per MSCF (thousand standard cubic feet) in 2021.

PRD's 2C figure is 294.75 BCF (49.125 MMBOE) net recoverable. Using SDX's figure of $11.34 per MSCF, the sale value of this much gas in Morocco is worth 294.75 (BCF) x 1,000,000 (convert to MSCF) x $11.34 (value per MSCF) / 1,000,000 (convert to $M) = $3,342M net to PRD. We should note that this figure is based on the average price for gas in 2021 and the prices have likely risen considerably since then and will likely stay elevated due to the new energy reality we are all facing.
$3,342M net to PRD is equivalent to $3,342 x 0.765 (USDGBP) / 304.45 (PRD shares in M) x 100 (convert to pence) = 840p per share.
Obviously we need to use an NPV deflator and take development costs into account, although PRD talks about rapid development and lower development costs due to location. Regardless, it seems quite clear that PRD offers monumental upside from here.
Sorry, but I don't like PANR at all. Poor flow rates, which they consistently say are not important at this stage, but they are always important. Work at each well is often not completed because of the weather bogeyman, leading to limited well data. Despite this we get fantastical reports of more and more barrels based on this data, but almost all of this is internal assessment. How about their Southern US assets that were supposed to be the bee's knees? Market cap reached £400M plus on them if I remember rightly and then collapsed. After they moved the goal posts to Alaska the Southern US stuff was quietly binned off. PANR may have something great, they may not. I don't have enough info to feel confident to make an investment and certainly not at £1043M market cap.
The 2C figure for the MOU-4 Tertiary Fan is currently 49.1 MMBOE net to PRD. The discovery is very close to the Mahgreb-Europe Pipeline and the company has mentioned rapid and low cost development on several occasions. Gas price are through the roof and the project is located in a safe jurisdiction right on Europe's door step, where there is a HUGE gas shortage of gas. What market cap then for 49.1 MMBOE of recoverable gas? Even a modest value per BOE and the upside here looks huge. Next up is flow testing of MOU-1 this quarter and firming up of MOU-4 and MOU-5 drill dates for H2.
