Corcel Share Discussion Threads

Yep horizontal drilling may well be the way forward - cost is about 50% more but bopd should be 2.5x more My stab in the dark is 400 bopd net to Corcel from first well Horizontal drilling in future could potentially increase well production to 1000 bopd in best case scenario Food for thought ?

Angola: Petronas buys into Total’s Kwanza Basin acreage

Issue 492 - 03 Oct 2023 - By James Gavin | 1 minute read

Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) has been busy shedding assets elsewhere in Africa, but the Malaysian national oil company has expanded its footprint in Angola, via its Petronas Angola E&P subsidiary.

Your maths is improving.

Don't forget this is NOT the 90's and modern drilling and completion technology, including potentially horizontal drilling will produce excellent flow rates.

I expect these Colins to flow significantly higher than your predictions.

I'm sure once you have BOUGHT the shares you will try much harder.

[kemche] 24/11/2023 15:54

DDR, what part of 100,000 bopd do you not get? Sheesh!

[dead duck resources] 24/11/2023 15:46

Z1CO, I've redone the calculation as it was slightly too bearish. Of the 12 historic wells, 7 were producers, with 5 dusters (one of those converted to water injection).
A success rate of 58%. On that basis we can expect 1 of our 2 attempts to come good
and spreading the historic production over less wells means a higher bopd number !!

29 MBO historic production
Field discovered 1961, shut-in end of millennium. 35 years fine for the calculation

35 years x 365 days = 12,775 and will discount 10% for downtime = 11,500 days

(29,000,000 / 7 wells) / 11,500 days = 360 bopd per well

On reflection I was too bearish to say new wells may reach 1/4 of the original rate. DDR wants to get you the best number possible and HALF of that rate may be possible.
That's 180 bopd or a cool 32 bopd net to CRCL's 18% interest. It's still compelling.
Sadly due to the historic dusters I expect only 1 of the wells to be a producer, so
32 bopd is your lot, but will be higher initially before the decline curve kicks in.

Corcel and the operator believe that revised interpretation of the existing structures along with the application of modern drilling and completion technology, including potentially horizontal drilling will lead to a higher Original Oil in Place ("OOIP) figure in the reactivated field being achieved.

Technology for drilling has significantly improved since the 90's.

These Colin wells gussssssh massively.

Bring on the flows

[z1co] 24/11/2023 14:29

You're mistaken this field is not in Austin Chalk Texas it's in Angola West Africa.

Who knows the Colins could easily gush past 10,000 bbls/d with modern drilling.Don't forget this is the first drilling since the 90's.

The good thing is we don't have to wait that long to find out.

As we debate Colin 2 is being drilled towards the target depth.

This will be a massive gussssssssssssssssssssher.

The peak production is great to pop into an RNS or bulletin board, but we know this field was producing for the best part of half a century. '35 years' was conservative. If I'd used 40 years the numbers per well would be less than 100 bopd, and I was not prepared to frighten investors like mark0101 who think the wells will go gangbusters.

We shouldn't be looking at historic flow rates anyway which was similar to a bathroom tap, as those virgin exploration wells will have accessed the easily accessed volume. Remaining producable volume may be more like a quarter of a bathroom tap. A dribble.

[dead duck resources] 24/11/2023 11:19

30 million barrels produced over 35 years is excellent, and I believe over 12 wells?
That's an average of 195 bopd per well, and there is expected to be 'some' oil left!

If we can average 100 bopd (18 bopd net for CRCLs 18% interest) at both wells that's 36 bopd net! At $20 a barrel operating margin that's EBITDA of £0.2m a year for CRCL
which will go some way to covering the 'beginning of the initial' plc admin expenses and the 'beginning of the initial' convertible loan interest.

They will get exceptionaler if the ruddy MMs continue with their shenanigans.

But a chance for me to get in even cheaper!

[z1co] 24/11/2023 11:08

They will flow test Colin 2 first upon reaching target depth.

It will be a gusher but by what margin?

It could be any amount from 2500 bbls/d to 10,000 bbls/d or maybe even higher.

Even a 3000 bbls/d at 18% net will generate substantial amount of cash for this micro cap

With oil currently at around £80/barrel @ 3000 bbls/d will yield $1.3m per month from each Coiln well.

Now that will be transformational for this company.

The shares at 0.5p represent exceptional value.

Classic treeshake to let Leni and Pharmacal in on the cheap.

Go Colin 2!

I continue to average down.

[z1co] 24/11/2023 10:33

The Kon-11, Kon-12 and Kon-16 blocks contain the previously producing Tobias and Galinda oilfields which hold about 85 million barrels of contingent resources and could be redeveloped, as well as exploration prospects that could host 1.4 billion barrels of oil.

The Tobias and Galinda fields were exploited by Petrofina in the 1960s-1980s and produced about 30 million barrels in total at rates up to 17,500 barrels per day.

lse CRCL comments of the week

3. "I’d recommend a buyback over dividends"

2. "If corcel starts share buybacks that could neutralise the warrant shares"

1. "We could RTO it [the Canegrass exploration tenement] on the ASX. I have yet to see an RTO that was negative for shareholders. Lets see what these rock chip samples show"

[kemche] 23/11/2023 13:41

Canegrass, £20k and 200m shares bought from Leni will be another gusher.

[kemche] 23/11/2023 13:39

Why would they find oil shows if it wasn't a gusher?????

700 million barrels!!!!

GLA LTHers!

I continue to average down.
