Personally I have no price targets for the company. The business model entails acquiring highly cash-generative assets with relatively little cash outlay, and the Directors have no limits to their planned expansion, if the acquisitions meet their hurdles. And there are plenty of targets around, with Angola looking to grow its oil output considerably, and the majors divesting their smaller, mature fields. AET’s growth potential is unlimited. I don’t see why it can’t be a billion-dollar business within the next 5 years, say. No point selling if the share price hits your target, just double the target again.

ODR, indeed, I know we’re all on the same page. I know my point is a simple one, but it’s never a bad thing to remember that short-term movements in the share price are almost random and not indicative of value.

I’m sure the Directors don’t fuss about daily movements in the share price, their job is to grow the business. We too need the same approach; no one knows when exactly the share price will rise, or by how much. If you just buy and hold, MT’s mantra, none of that really matters. It’s clear that AET has enormous potential to grow into a substantial business, our only decision is how much of our available capital do we deploy on the journey.

Thank you very much Mount Teide. Appreciated. I will ponder on all that and see if I can concoct an improved spreadsheet. Your share price thoughts look cautiously modest perhaps.

YY - Ref: Production costs per bbl - have not seen any specific data.

However, what we do know is that after the second working interest on the Block 3/05 asset was announced in July 2022, the following information was provided:

* Break even economics of $35/bbl
* Potential to improve OPEX to $20/bbl
* Average FCF, after Capex, of $30m PA at $75 Brent.
* Average production of circa 16,800 bopd when AET first commenced asset negotiations

Since then, the following changes have been reported based on completion of the Sonangol (18%) and INA (5.33%) deal metrics:

* Potential to improve and MAINTAIN OPEX at $20/bbl
* Average FCF, after Capex, of $35m PA at $75 Brent.
* Full year 2022 gross production of 18,660 bopd
* Minimum Capex to realise P2 Case of 115 million bbls

Post the Azule completion:

* Average FCF, after Capex of $50m PA at $75 Brent based on 18,600 bopd (at $90 Brent and 22,550 bopd the FCF could potentially increase to $60-$70m a year).

* Average production March 2024 of 22,500 bopd (recent peak of 25,000 bopd YE 2023)
* Every 1% incremental recovery factor = 9 million bbls additional resources net to AET

* Debt - If the Azule deal closes during the next few weeks, assuming an average of current Brent price and an average of 22,500 bopd production, AET is likely to be debt free during Q3/2024.

* Apparently 80% of management time has been spent on M&A in the last 18 months . IR confirmed in January 2024 that the next webinar and strategy presentation will come after completion of Azule.

* Infill Drilling Campaign for 2025-26 - first for over 20 years, will be interesting when considering that Pacassa alone has another circa 500m barrels.

Thoughts:
A further 5,000 bopd deal during 2024 with similar non dilutive metrics could well see AET trading at 100p plus.

Oil - Top traders and forecasters, as well as investment banks, have upgraded their price and demand forecasts in recent weeks on a tightening oil market, over which OPEC+ has now regained control.

OPEC+ Rules in an Increasingly Tight Oil Market - Oilprice.com 10 April 2024

'The OPEC+ group is firmly back in control of the oil market and has the power to have it extremely tight in the second half of the year should it choose to do so, industry executives and hedge fund managers say.

The market is growing increasingly bullish on oil, expecting robust global demand growth and supply constraints, including OPEC and Russia’s production cuts, to push prices even higher in the summer.

With Brent oil prices breaking above $90 a barrel, there is room for further upside amid tighter markets and heightened geopolitical risks, investment banks say, not ruling out $100 oil this year.

The trajectory of oil prices over the next year is largely in the hands of the OPEC+ alliance of the top Middle Eastern producers and Russia, according to Sebastian Barrack, head of commodities at hedge fund giant Citadel, which had $61 billion in investment capital as of April

The OPEC+ group has “definitely regained control” of the market, Barrack said at the FT Commodities Global Summit in Lausanne, Switzerland, this week.

If the alliance decides in early June to keep its current cuts after the end of the first half, we could see an “extremely tight” oil market in the second half of the year, Citadel’s executive said, adding that the timing of OPEC+’s potentially eased cuts and their volume “will define where prices go in the next 12 months.”

Right now, prices are going up, as geopolitical concerns linger in the Middle East, demand holds strong and could turn out stronger than expected, and supply and infrastructure issues hold back production and exports, from Mexico to Russia.

Top traders and forecasters, as well as investment banks, have upgraded their price and demand forecasts in recent weeks.

Oil prices are set to trade in the range between $80 and $100 per barrel this year, Russell Hardy, chief executive at Vitol Group, said at the FT summit this week. The world’s largest independent oil trader also expects robust global oil demand growth in 2024, at around 1.9 million barrels per day (bpd) higher than in 2023, Hardy said.

If this forecast pans out, this year’s growth in oil consumption will not be too far off the bumper increase in demand in 2023.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) raised its 2024 and 2025 forecasts of global oil consumption by between 400,000 bpd and 500,000 bpd, due to a revision of historical data for 2022 and to the “current market dynamics,” the EIA said in its monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) on Tuesday.

Morgan Stanley sees heightened geopolitical risk pushing Brent prices to $94 per barrel in the third quarter as the bank lifted its price forecast by $4 a barrel compared to its previous projection. Last month, Morgan Stanley had already hiked its third-quarter oil price forecast by $10 per barrel, to $90, on the back of expected tighter markets in the summer.

In recent weeks, banks, including JP Morgan, have said that oil prices could hit $100 per barrel by the end of the summer. However, demand destruction could prevent prices from reaching triple digits, JP Morgan says.

Still, analysts and industry executives believe that OPEC+ would reverse at least part of the cuts if prices run up to $100 as it would look to avoid demand destruction, stronger response to high prices from U.S. shale, and a potential loss of longer-term demand for OPEC+ crude.

If OPEC+ rolls over the cuts beyond June, “we will see a level of tightness in the market that will be very constraining to the market, and high prices will have to go and help destroy demand to solve that problem,” Citadel’s Barrack said at the FT Commodities Global Summit.

As tempting as it may sound for OPEC to sell oil at $100 a barrel, the cartel may not be willing to risk another inflation shock that could cripple demand.'

MT - apologies for being disagreeable but as a shareholder in Tullow that is not how I remember it.

the share price of TLW is about 34p today. In 20 yrs the share price has increased from err 32p to 34p. Nothing much to shout home about.

The business wasn't really built by McDade. It was initially built by founder/CEO Aidan Heavey and CFO Tom Hickey. As far as i can recall they were the ones who would have steered the negotiations on UKNS acquisitions from Esso and BP and they were the ones who negotiated the Energy Africa acquisition in 2003/4 which was arguably the making of Tullow Phase 1.

The explosive share price grown of Tullow Phase 2 which reached £16 at one point (in old money b4 a capital raise) was driven by very high risk frontier exploration with big discoveries in Uganda, Ghana, Kenya, not from buying low risk mature assets from exiting majors.

It all went to their heads in Tullow Phase 3 when in relative terms Tullow probably had the highest exploration spend of any E&P on the planet. billions and billions on exploration. And billions and billions written off on failed wells.

McDade made such a mess of Tullow after being appointed CEO that the company were obliged to fire him.

So yeah, Afentra is a bit like early Tullow Phase 1 was the UKNS.
And hopefully McDade has learnt from past mistakes.....

Afentra is being strongly tipped by Small Company Share Watch . However , whilst I do realise that this is going back a quarter of a century , the share price was about £ 15 in August 1997 , rising to about £ 18 in December 1997 . Does anyone know why the share price then collapsed ? I am tempted here , and I’m sure the board of directors has changed in the intervening 25 years , but knowledge of the reason for the fall all those years ago would be useful .

AET should mirror Panoros growth

Panoro 3 year history on production, revenue, reserves, net debt, dividends and m/cap.

2020 Production = 2200 bopd.

Revenue $26.9m. Cash $5.7m. Debt $21.3m.

--------------------

9th Feb 2021 Eq Guinea & Gabon acquisitions of 6900 bopd + 25 mmbo 2P for $140m .

Financed with $70m placing and debt of $90m from Trafigura.

113m shares in issue 21 NOK at this date = N2.37 billion = £174m m/cap.

-----------------------------

RNS 23/2/22 = Year end 2021 Production 7495 bopd. Total 35.8 mmbo P2, Revenue $119.7m. Net debt $72m .

RNS 30/11/22 = "USD 20 million core dividend paid on a quarterly basis in cash weighted towards H2 and subject to average oil price realisation remaining above USD 80 per barrel after the effects of any hedging.

Target distribution for 2023 of USD 30 million subject to higher oil price realisation of USD 90 per barrel being achieved for the year after the effects of any hedging"

----------------------------

2023 Production

Q1 = 6,320 bopd

H1 2023 results = Revenue $66m. 'Net debt' at 30/6/23 = $50.4m

Working interest production averaged 7,220 bopd in the first half (H1 2022: 7,860 bopd).

71m NOK paid out in Dividends to end H1 = $6.7m paid out so far for H1

$6.7m paid out so far for H1.

117m shares in issue NOK 30 = N3.5 Billion = £260m m/cap against a an average broker target price of $4.18 or £390m m/cap



----------------------

AET = same 2P, approx 6,600 bopd. A $10m future dividend = 3.5p or 12.5% at the current share price or 3.3% yield at a £1 target price = £220.5m m/cap or 15% discount to Panoro. Should track Panoros rising production via 3/05 peak target programme and 3/05A commercial start up - not to mention any further acquisitions.
