Tonhuk2000,
The 125p peak was in around July 2018 - looking at the interim report for 6 months ending June 2018 - the share count was around 35m. The 108m shares was sometime later.
In addition they were confident of liberator and were targeting 10,000 bbl of production within 12 - 18 months ramping up to 30,000 bbl / day quickly with production of up to 120,000 bbl after development of liberator west and serenity. Non of this panned out hence the SP collapse.
Market cap at that time was about £43m (35m shares x £1.25). At £1.25 and 700m shares - we would have a market cap of about £825m.
In the Mirabaud report - they included a number of Oil Companies to compare metrics. By my evaluation - one of the closest matches to I3E with respect to production, debt & reserves was Pharos Energy. Current Market cap of Pharos is 82m - a couple of years ago - the market cap was about £270m.
If I3E get production up to 12,000 to 15,000 bbl/day with oil at over $60 with a reasonable out look - a market cap of 200m or more may be achievable in the next 6-12 months.
