Sirius Petroleum Share Discussion Threads

Apologies for an old item, however, although Owena Oil and Gas is an acknowledged 100% owned State entity....Dr Mimimko is still pulling the strings. My bet is that his 'owena Energy' are managing the State Assets (in return for an 'economical interest')

SLE rns just released. Note EGM/AGM on the same day. EGM is needed first to get the OML18 business approved.

Pre-Mimiko scandal of the attempt to sell Ondo's $1bn rated oil block 241 to a private Co. for just $37m.

Recent Sirius rnss are important in confirming that Owena is 100% owned by Ondo State.

Ezekiel “Supo” Shadiya.


New CEO?

[htrocka2] 26/8/2016 13:11

rns's continually refer to projects (plural) after Ororo.

?? on other acquisitions (2018)


Commenting, Jon Taylor, said: “We are delighted to work with Sirius on their opportunities in Nigeria. The Company is focused on selected marginal field developments and has access to strong potential deal flow. We look forward to collaborating with Sirius’s technical team in Lagos initially to put the Ororo Field into production and then on subsequent projects.”



Commenting, Bobo Kuti, CEO of Sirius Petroleum, said: “I am delighted that Jon Taylor, Alan Stein and Havoc Partners have agreed to advise Sirius on its technical operations, taking an active role working in collaboration with Schlumberger and our Nigerian technical team. The breadth of experience this team brings will help Sirius to mitigate the technical risks associated with drilling the Ororo Field, whilst advising us on our best strategy with regards to our pipeline of assets.”




ps '- have got used to delays here over the last six years - why's now any different'...because time is no longer on their side.

[dr rosso] 26/8/2016 13:07

Proof of the pudding is in the eating. Let's see what the 4 trading days show next week.

If this was another rinse and repeat 10% p&d trick, the share price should be showing in high 30s by Fri pm result of the buy at 40/sell at 44 crew.

[carrbradshaw] 26/8/2016 13:03

So you think we're going to see an admission document in September - I don't think so - this will run way behind schedule as usual - have got used to delays here over the last six years - why's now any different!!

[dr rosso] 26/8/2016 12:41

Easy calc. SLE paying £170m for 10% of OML18 = block value of £1.7bn.
SLE is being rerated with 440m shares @ 50p = £220m.

Tbh, I'd be quite happy to see 1bn consideration shares going out in Owena rto.
4bn shares in issue.

Sp movement predicted as follows, with or without rto---

2p on forthcoming AD and Ororo schedule (Sept 2016)
5p on Ororo/95 5k boepd (early 2017)
10p on 241 revelation (early 2017)
20-25p on 241 in production (end-2017)
?? on other acquisitions (2018)

[carrbradshaw] 26/8/2016 12:06

Let's pray for a straight take out - puts us all out of our misery!!

[dr rosso] 26/8/2016 12:03

Straight takeout seems unlikely, tho possible. I certainly do not rule out a reverse subsidiary merger with Owena, in which case Sirius shareholders move in by default on Ororo and 241. No farm in fees.

Who'll be running show? Put your money on GVL as Chairman and a Chevron Nigeria MD moving in as CEO. Chevron's Scott is already pencilled in as Field Development Co-Ordinator.

Whatever transpires, this is big. Very big.

Of course they might just get taken out by GL and SH,s paymasters..You just never know.

Worth a look at OML18 onshore block. 3 IOCs divested their 45% interest to a SPV called Eroton. The other 55% of the lease is held by NNPC. The block is in S. Nigeria, next to Port Harcourt. Nowhere near Lagos State in the NW, so not sure how Lagos State features in this. Eroton paid $1.2bn for 45%, which meant that the block was valued at $2.5bn a couple of years ago, in production 14kbopd, + all infrastructure.

Mart held an indirect 10% stake through a subsidiary, Martwestern, which held shares in Eroton. That 10% has now been transferred to San Leon, in a rather complex deal. SLE has raised £170m via a placing at 45p in order to pull off the acquisition, near on 400m new shares issued. Note that the asset acquisition has shot the share price from 30p to 50p despite the massive share dilution (was 62m in issue).


Implications for Sirius....

I think our share dilution has already taken place, tho could well be looking at 3bn fully diluted once options and new options come into play. The assets being acquired will overwhelm that dilution. However, poss not immediately as the initial revelations are likely to be restricted to Ororo and a schedule targeting 5k bopd by end-2016. So let's be satisfied for the moment with a rerate to a 2p platform, likely to double as Ororo/95 swing into production.
Without a doubt our biggie is 241. If OML18 has a SALE value of $2.5bn, expect the same for 241 within a couple of years. Assuming Sirius takes a 40% - 60% economic interest, Sirius mcap (not NAV) shoots to around $1.25bn. Approaching a billion quid, but lets be ultra-conservative and hold it at £600m. That 241 stake is likely to result in mcap of 20p. Add 5p for Ororo/95, which means we are realistically looking at 25p as 2017 draws to a close. That's IF they've got sufficient infrastructure preparations done by now and are ready to go.


Above figures are based on Sirius remaining independent, and staying within 3bn shares in issue. If they jv with a partner or merge into Owena, calcs would change.

Thanks for that Jenny..

an o/t article....'Compressed Natural Gas' is being lined up to replace diesel.

HT, Dr R said suspension in the next 72 hours of trading - not in the next 72 hours. BH Monday isn't included so if there are 8.5 trading hours per day, the time span runs until 12:00 (noon) on Friday 2nd Sept (by my limited grasp of maths).

[htrocka2] 25/8/2016 23:00

We're now on a twenty four month count down....and I doubt this will go to the wire.



'Sirius has now issued warrants over 100,000,000 new ordinary shares at a strike price of 2 (two) pence per share ("Warrants") to Havoc Partners. The Warrants will be exercisable from the date of grant, being the 11 August 2015, until the third anniversary of the date of grant, being the 10 August 2018.'
