MATD rumour of takeover by the Petro China which could be announce before the AGM on the 13th of this month
Petro China purchased their TAMSAG basin field from SOCO back in 2005 for $93 million, at the time the field was producing only 350 bbl/d, at the time oil was around $47.
Latest data we have was published 2021/2022 and states PC had drilled around 600 wells and 311 had been brought onstream as producing wells, that was several years ago, pretty obvious PC have drilled the best looking areas and are now looking for fresh unexplored fields to explore, enter MATADs Heron field which is the other half of the TAMSAG basin.
MATADs Heron field is estimated to contain 60 million recoverable barrels of oil, more with new drilling technologies, MATAD obviously do not have the cash to develop the field quickly enough to suit Mongolias new refinery needs so the sale or a JV deal with PC would seem to suit PC, Mongolia and MATAD.
Case of watch this space.
