The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
On Page 8 you can see the Susan and Helen prospects. I think these are older sands than Sealion (F2) so for that reason not drilled yet. Nevertheless they are significantly prospects with estimated resource of 340 mmbor and 220 mmbor respectively. Hopefully we will also drill these prospects sometime in the future when we are producing oil and can affordable it :)

I like both but as RKH also has licences in the south near the BORs Darwin discovery they will also benefit (indirectly) from any good farming news from BOR. Adding RKH now have a fat chance of first oil in the North basin in late 2026 I believe they are likely to do better.
Kind regards

I think we are all thinking the same.
Also the fact Navitas does not have to get approval from lots of other partners before spending some money (normally a large oil field development has many partners) they could probably just issue Purchase Orders for some of the equipment with very long lead times (for example compressors etc) before FID if needed. The big costs like FPSO lease contract and drilling/subsea would need full project finance/FID in place first I guess so time is ticking. FID this summer was discussed here earlier.

Agree. Was just looking at the historisk share price and can only really see huge resistente at the 41p level (back in June 2018). Im sure other people will have different opinions though :)

Rockhopper 2P reserves 277 million barrels of oil (market cap £86 million). Future production 35% of 55000 barrels/day (ie 19000 b/d) then 35% of 200000 barrels/day (ie 70000 b/d). Looking at Serica below our market cap (share price) has a hell of a lot of upside going forward.
——
Serica Energy (market cap £705 million):
Net Proved plus Probable ("2P") reserves at 31 December 2023 of 140 million boe, up 10 million boe from 130 million boe at 31 December 2022 despite producing 14 million boe in 2023 on a proforma combined Serica and Tailwind basis
· Overall 2P reserves additions of 24 million boe during 2023 representing a reserves replacement ratio of 179%[2]
· Over 90% of 2P reserves in fields that are already in production
· Even split of oil and gas reserves
· Average net production in January and February 2024 about 45,500 boe per day
· Production guidance for 2024 remains at 41,000 to 48,000 boe per day
I see Eco finally farmed down their super hot Block 3B/4B offshore South Africa carried for two wells but leaving them with only 6.25% (from 20%).
Rockhopper has 35% of 791 million barrels 2C. Eco and their partners will have to find 4.4 billion barrels of oil in Block 3B/4B for eco to get the same volume of oil Rockhopper already has on their hands (not even including further dilution from appraisal well costs).
Just thinking.

Hi Markas
Thats the SeaRose FPSO I guess for Canada.

Evening Ohtaxes :)

I believe Munin will be our FPSO.
However, in a recent Upstreamonline piece the following was said: « Bluewater has also signed a memorandum of understanding with a client for the possible charter of the Aoka Mizu FPSO, which it has been marketing for redeployment even though the floater is currently working on the Lancaster field in the UK.
Bluewater said the MoU includes a FEED study, and sets out the conditions under which a contract can be concluded.»

Seems like bluewater energy services are busy recruiting on their LinkedIn profile. No mention of any specific project though.

Xmtman my thinking also !

12.5p on the ask now…catching up time!

A little help. Oil price obviously important if you are trying to finance a $1.2 billion project in the South Atlantic!

Mogger thank you (again)
“As part of the FID, an initial budget was approved for the development of the project, the production of which will be carried out through the production facility (FPS) of the Shenandoah project, in the amount of about 259 million dollars (the partnership's share is about 73.99 million dollars) (above and below: "the initial budget") .
The total estimated budget for the development of the project amounts to about 855 million dollars (the part of the partnership is about 244.27 million dollars).
The partnership is working with several entities to formulate a plan to finance the development of the project.”
Looks to me they are declaring FID on the initial approved budget before finalising the full financing package.
Wonder if something similar could be done for Sea lion (and maybe finally with backing of some of these financiers for full FID)?

It is really quite simple: The FPSO has a "disconnectable turret" or not. Much like being pregnant (or not).

Alma
The key words here are “disconnectable turret” as per RNS 22nd January.

I still think the selected FPSO is the Munin from Bluewater. If so I believe we do have to install a compressor (module) for gas reinjection and for lift gas lift. Also we have to install water injection pumps (sea water initially then as time goes by more and more produced water). The Munin does not have this equipment onboard currently.
The compressor is a very looong lead item so we better get moving with the FID so this PO can be placed. Otherwise the Munin should be a great fit and not very expensive to lease (?).
I believe Bluewater will (continue to?) do the engineering so we should see a LOI very soon I think.

We don’t know what exactly is delayed but from the context it is FDP (already issued?) EIS or FID. I think / hope it is the EIS (Environmental Impact Statement / Assessment)
BB3 I love your numbers and fully agree.
Much like porn…RKH stock will soon be stacked on the top shelf so you will really have to stretch to get hold of them (price wise). :)

Navitas are up 67% the last 6 months. And 157% over the last 12 months. I don’t think all of that is from progress on Shenandoah only. We know they have made good progress on Sea Lion. Because they have told us.
UK / lse is probably a,,,, hole to be listed on for us oil minnows but it does not help Sam is making sure Rockhopper keep this low profile. Look at Gil and Eco Atlantic: They are actively promoting their assets to investors all over the place even in my lovely Norway.
Just a thought
Kind regards
