Yes, sharenovice22, albeit indirectly. Our southern neighbour, 88E, will be flow testing the SFS and SMD-B at Hickory-1 from mid-Feb onwards. Because PANR's portion of the shared reservoirs is updip of 88E's portion *and* due to the data sharing agreement in place between the two companies, this means the results of the flow tests will be at least as valuable to PANR as they are to 88E, very likely more so.
Why would that be, I hear you cry, sharenovice22?
Well, the thing is, if the SFS or SMD flows successfully at the Hickory-1 location then, due to the effects of Dmax, any such result will have a greater positive effect on PANR's valuation because the size (or scale) of the SFS and SMD is far larger on PANR's acreage than it is on 88E's land. Overlay the fact that PANR's reservoirs have superior qualitative characteristics due to the updip location and there's a leveraged positive effect to any successful flow test at Hickory-1 for PANR.
In the scenario described above, certainly successful flow tests would be good news for 88E but it would be good news x2, or good news x4 for PANR in terms of extrapolation of the data --> valuation uplift.
But what if the SFS and SMD flow tests are unsuccessful at Hickory-1? Undoubtedly that would be tough for 88E and they'd have to focus on Texas and Namibia. But what about the implications for PANR? Talitha-A is located very close to the southern border with 88E. The results from Talitha-A are already baked into PANR's strategy and valuation. PANR's *base case* has already *been* established by the data collected at Talitha-A. An unsuccessful result from Hickory-1, due to its downdip location and less favourable Dmax characteristics, would not have much (if any?) implications for PANR because it will not affect the results already achieved at Talitha-A.
So, sharenovice22, to summarise. I wish 88E all the luck in the world when flow testing the SFS and SMD-B. Success at Hickory-1 will have a leveraged effect on PANR 's valuation due to the larger scale and superior characteristics of the shared reservoirs on PANR's acreage v's that of 88E. A poor result from Hickory-1 ought not to have much, if any, effect on PANR because its base case has been established by the data already collected at Talitha-A. The effect of a poor result at Hickory-1 for 88E? You're an 88E shareholder.....I'm sure you can work it out.
Kever - still on about no-one being interested. We know at least six parties have signed NDAs to enter the PANR dataroom. So we can say categorically that there are at least 6 parties interested in the data - that's a fact. I note you have trouble understanding the concept of those parties investing hundreds of thousands of dollars to access the dataroom. Please enlighten this forum which oil service employers aren't paying the salaries of their geologists, reservoir engineers, civil engineers, seismic engines, etc? Dolt.
