5. Acle - potential JV on this nice, very interesting North Sea prospect which may be derisked to an extent due to its situation between three existing production fields. Let’s see, BL did a good deal bringing this one in on good terms
6. Selva - commercial has discovery in Italy which was drilled last year. Awaiting approval of development plan and once that is through it is merely a case of piping the gas into existing infrastructure. The development plan approval also expected this quarter and we could be producing here by late 2019 / early 2020 (conservative estimate). Around $2m a year net to UOG and gas prices are rising - put the asset on a forward multiple of say x6 and we are looking st potential takeover valuation of $12m - underpinning now the value of the company !
7. East Selva - gas structure next door and believed to be x5 size of Selva. Can piggyback off existing infrastructure and to be drilled later this year.
There’s also the rest of the UK portfolio including Waddock Cross which is a development drill following appraisal of a discovery. Not too far from Wytch Farm either
New deals - delivery was mentioned previously but see all above is and as Brian keeps on stating, when the company IPO’d they have two assets, he has delivered a hell of a lot more now with 7 in the portfolio now and activity lined up. If one doesn’t come through then onto the next.
He’s stated very recently that they are reviewing a number of exciting and potentially transformational plays, just have to leave them to it. He has also referred to the deals which they nearly did and provided reasons why they decided not to do them. I’d expect an update with regards to what’s going on here in the near future but based upon previous form - has Brian ever not delivered upon deals when he has said that he has been working on one?
Also seems to be particularly excited about these citing that they are transformational and production has been referred to several times. I’m certainly excited.
