Chad Deal Closure9 Nov 2022 11:54
Expecting the deal closure in the next few weeks. I think the chad ministry run the risk of Exxon downing tools and not investing which could deplete chad revenues significantly. They will have to meet somewhere in the middle as Savannah are planning to ramp up production which means long term revenues for the government will be higher versus short term one of exit payment, plus Savannah has already committed to renewables project in chad so there is already an expectation that it will go through, I think it's a game of poker in terms of the amount they both settle on, but clearly Exxon and Petronas will have to pay something. Also another value accretive renewable deal could be announced shortly as Savannah has set up a new subsidiary SAVANNAH ENERGY WN LIMITED 1st November. So expect an announcement shortly............
Besides we are at our natural valuation currently we were suspended at 19p and our gas production at that point was roughly 20,000 BOEPD equivalent and since than it's increased to around 32,000 BOEPD. So based on the current price we have had about 50% increase in production yet only added 5 - 6 p to our SP, I would expect us to be around 30p just on our Nigeria assets and increase in production. currently no value is being attributed for the chad deal so even if it weren't to happen I don't see it majorly impacting our SP as it's not priced in the sp
