Only time will tell, but in the meantime interesting updated research version today by Zeus Capital with below 'Conclusion' section for information only, clearly disclaimers apply and DYOR:
'Petro Matad operates in Mongolia where it is developing its 33mmbbl Heron
discovery. This is planned to be brought onstream in 2023, with subsequent drilling then driving
ongoing production ramp up. Development is expedited by the plan to use existing nearby
production facilities, and post the initial programme Petro Matad should be able to use the
cash flows to fund ongoing drilling, delivering regular drilling results and steady growth in
production and cash flow. There is upside on Heron from application of modern completion
techniques, which could increase recovery potentially as high as 60mmbbl. Alongside Heron,
there is very significant potential upside from upcoming drilling of the Velociraptor-1
exploration well, which is targeting c.200mmbbl. This is expected to spud in Q2 2023, and
represents a profound drilling catalyst for the stock, in our view. The company is well-funded
from its US$6.6m end June 2022 cash holding and recent US$6.6m placing. With news flow
upcoming on both Heron and Velociraptor-1, alongside the discount to our 17p total risked
NAV, we have a positive outlook for the shares.'
