RE: i3E v Gear Energy - Part 29 May 2021 14:48
Fastfood,
The operational update RNS was largely quite positive, the podcast covered pretty much the same ground and was no less positive in terms of content - just a little undersold I think due to Graham / Majid being gun shy from past events. As both you and GGG say - we now have a solid base on which to measure and grow from and now that we know where we sit with production and the status of new projects / wells - I can only see the news from this point on being almost universally positive / accretive to the SP. Obviously I3E can not control the Oil price but the rest of the cards seem to be in i3e's hands.
Upcoming catalysts / news:
1) Dividend ( not sure how much this will move the needle as the amount has already been stated)
2) Annual Report expected end of May. Hopefully no surprises in terms of cost, but another opportunity to announce positive updates.
3) Spuding of 2 wells as soon as this month.
4) Update on Serenity
5) Update on new drilling plans in Clearwater
6) Share buyback - I dont expect this but its possible especially if drilling plans are slightly behind internal forecast. A small buyback I think would send a positive message and would not need to be too expensive.
7) Additional farm-ins to Clearwater or other acreages - again not currently forecast but possible.
