Conf call feedback18 May 2018 11:13
Quick and dirty feedback.
PW ran through the presentation released yesterday. The one thing I had'nt quite grasped from reading it was the importance of the final 2 exploration drills in Morocco. PW gave an estimated vale of $10m per bcf discovered, and suggested the development drills were bringing in around 1-2 bcf. LNB and LMS combined have around 15bcf on a Pmean estimate. That's a pile of money.
Questions. I didn't make notes on all, but this is what I got.
What is the % return on S Disouq sales? 26% of rev goes to SDX after all deductions. Assume around 50-60mmscf on start up, and we can run the figures.
They don't hedge oil prices because they sell to the State, so its more difficult.
Reserves upgrade when the drilling and testing is finished. Will only start assessing after the prog concludes, and because TSX listed, need 3rd party validation, so later in the year. I'm assuming Q4.
Peugot contract. Relatively small volumes to start, 0.2mmscf a day. Future sales depend on how quickly they ramp up prodn, so out of SDX hands. But other customers too.
Does netback increase on the same ratio as the scale shown, now Brent has outrun it? Yes, so we can make some assumptions.
Morocco, are they going to change terms? (i remember someone posted an article in french suggesting this). PW met head of Morocco Govt biz development yesterday, and their policy is still to encourage increased internal energy production, so no.
That's it, there was more of course, but that's the notes I took. Still a buy and hold for me.
