Hi Keith. Canje is not the easiest licence to find info on, but take a look at WTE's 2020-10-30 finals RNS. WTE has a 1.26% stake in Canje.
'As previously reported, JHI is a private, Ontario-registered, company established in 2014 and focused on oil exploration opportunities in the emerging Guyana-Suriname Basin. The company's main asset is a 17.5% carried interest in the Canje Block covering over 4,800 square kilometres, offshore Guyana. This block is located adjacent to and in the same geologic basin as the Stabroek Block which has delivered eighteen substantial oil discoveries since 2015, with reported discovered recoverable resources of approximately 9 billion oil-equivalent barrels to date.'
'ExxonMobil, which is the operator of both blocks, acquired in excess of 6,100 km2 of 3D seismic on the Canje Block in 2016. Subsequent processing and interpretation of this dataset has been used to define a substantial prospect inventory on the Block with three prospects (Bulletwood, Jabillo, and Sapote) high-graded as potential targets for the initial drilling campaign. A 2018 DeGoyler McNaughton Competent Persons Report on the Canje Block remains unpublished. However, the block is reported by JHI2 to contain more than a dozen prospects in the Canje portion of the Liza play fairway, representing more than 10 billion barrels of prospective recoverable oil resources, with a number of the prospects exhibiting the same DHI (Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator) characteristics as the neighbouring Stabroek discoveries. As a result of a 2018 farm-out to Total, JHI is carried for the drilling of up to four wells and is funded for the drilling of additional wells.'
Some adjustment needs to be made for the Bulletwood and Jabillo results. I have Bulletwood down as 500 MMB and Jabillo as 1.2 BB and subtracting that from the quoted 10BB figure for the whole licence gives a minimum figure of 8.3 BB yet to be drilled including Sapote. As you indicated ECO's 1.75% of that equates to 145 MMB recoverable.
Not sure where I got the 1.2BB figure for Jabillo but page 10 of WTE's Dec 2020 presentation has Bulletwood at roughly 500 MMB and Jabillo at 1000 MMB and this Jabillo figure is confirmed in their 2021-03-09 spud RNS. As a result the actual figure looks to be slightly higher at 8.5 BB or 149 MMB net recoverable to ECO for remaining drill targets on Canje including Sapote.
Also, I'm not sure Bulletwood is a complete right off. If it is a sub commercial discovery as per Tanager-1, that might change if other fields are discovered close by, though obviously it would be a lot less than 500 MMB.
