RE: TLW drilling in Guyana in 202220 Aug 2021 20:48
CGX reached C$2.01 today, so a little off the C$2.70 it hit 8 weeks ago. Total shares outstanding is 287.6M giving a current market cap of £333M and £447M at the $2.70 peak. I love the location of the Corentyne drill and have looked repeatedly into the stock on numerous occasions over the past year, but have found it to be a bit of an enigma and very hard to find any specifics about their drills in particular.
They are about to drill Kawa-1 on the Corentyne block and then Marakarapan-1 on the Demerara block, though I'm not sure on timing for the second one. The best information I could find about the prospects was in the following news release, but there are sadly no details for individual prospects. I have searched the Annual Information Document, Annual Report, presentations and other news releases all to no avail. Perhaps Fronterra Energy, CGX's 73.85% shareholder likes it that way.

This release states that the Corentyne block contains 27 prospects with total P50 net to CGX of (2,682 + 821) = 3,503 MMBOE unrisked, which gives an average of 130 MMBOE per prospect. Dividing the P mean risked by the P mean unrisked we get an average COS of ((605 + 180) / (3209 + 1209) x 100) or only 17.8%. Doing the same for the Demerara block we get an average prospect size of 85 MMBOE P50 net to CGX and a P mean COS of 19%. So one average well on both blocks totals P50 net to CGX of 215 MMBOE with COS of 18.3%.
At CGX's peak market cap in June of £447M or U$608M this equated to $2.83/BOE unrisked or $15.50 risked. The prospects chosen are likely to be bigger and have a higher COS than the average. Assuming the prospects are twice the average size and COS is around 30%, the figures drop to $1.42/BOE unrisked or $4.79 risked at June's peak market cap.
Note also that the cost net to CGX is $60M.
Using the $4.79/BOE risked figure for Sapote I get a value net to ECO of £28M (14p/per share) risked pre drill and £80M (40p/per share) in the success case assuming 35% COS. Adding this to ECO's £40M JHI farm in market cap and ignoring the (huge) residual value of the farm in I get a SP for ECO of 34p pre drill and 60p in the success case for Sapote.
Please check the maths.
