20,000 boe/d - is nearly 100% oil at present!!!

Akatara gas 6-10,000 boe/d fixed price gas at a premium price to be operational late Q2 2024 per current guidance!!! For total production of 26-30,000 boe/d

Bitcoin is pure speculation - tomorrow it could drop 50%....

Add JSE while it is cheap :) This will come good - patience!!!

Opec has recently announced a monitoring meeting for early Feb 2024. IMHO oi price presently appears to be manipulated down by a dubious narrative derived via questionable IEA estimates, EIA reports of fictitious strong USA production and the USA controlling financial levers etc... I have seen in the last week of December 2023 - a well regarded academic on Bloomberg TV being cut off mid speech by the newscaster to change the topic when this academic was communicating oil is at or below long term averages once adjusted for inflation. It is not in the interest of the Western establishment given the Russian war, inflation from money printing etc for oil to be at fair levels...

I wouldn't bet against Opec + - it is the Federal Reserve of the oil markets... Physical markets will tighten.... and oil will zoom. Presently below long term average for oil once adjusted for inflation.

Also USA speculative positioning on crude close to all time lows...

In this situation it makes sense to not be overly long or short - market could do down, but it will be like a recoiled spring as if the market goes any further down US production will adjust.... WTI is getting to marginal barrel levels at present...

Cheers Tag,

Not sure what the split is for JSE 20,000boe/d. Straight oil vs gas split. When I did the h1 revenue the other day no one corrected me, surprisingly, as I just did 20,000 as bopd in the calculation.

and the 6,000 akatara gas is 5-6,000boe/d?

[tag57] 02/1/2024 17:28

1AJM, you can no doubt get a much more detailed answer but boed is barrel of oil equivalent per day, ie volume not revenue.

[1ajm] 02/1/2024 14:25

Can someone confirm to me when JSE say 20,000boe/d they mean close to 20,000 x the price of oil revenue?

how much of that 20,000 on conversion of barrels of energy, aka 1 unit doesn't = $75 (POO)

[1ajm] 02/1/2024 14:14

Another day of Bitcoin doing better than oil, what a time to be alive.

Looking forward to it starting to look like a finished facility. Shouldn't be too long now. 1-2 updates?


Oil not doing great, see how tomorrow goes.

Agreed Ash,



If a smooth 6-months for H1 2024 with stable oil prices doesn't cause serious share price movement then it's going to be alarming and I'm going to need to consider what i'm missing from the wider market rather than JSE. By that point lack of recovery would be outside of even my expectations, which seem to be lower than many on here. JSE will be 10-months past the end of operational problems at that point.


JSE would be reporting as you say, a $250-300m H1 revenue (without any kind of oil price positive movement and ok hedging downside protection at these prices) on a fairly low OPEX, Akatara online, 20,000bopd average and 25,000bopd current and they should have enough cash to be talking about the path to 30,000bopd.

Does anyone have up to date figures on their current OPEX for the 20,000bopd? I've not kept track of it. I'm assuming comfortably under $35. Akatara bumped up the CAPEX massively at a really bad time, as we all know, but most of the upfront costs for that should be coming to an end soon.

Where do you guys see JSE over the next couple of years? 40,000-50,000bopd? No Debt? Higher production with debt?

IMO/DYOR no-one has a crystal ball.

[ashkv] 30/12/2023 17:01

Fair enough 1ajm - with production at 20k boed and $80 brent plus accounting for hedging of 50% (15k boe/d production) at $70 plus premium to Brent for unhedged barrels --> I am closer to a revenue figure of USD 300mn (Fingers and toes crossed).

At a share price of 36.5p - JSE's Enterprise Value of USD 248 million is not even half 2024 projected revenue at 20k boe/d if all goes smoothly...and also not accounting for incremental revenue from Akatara.

JSE remains great value at 36.5p - given it was trading at around 35p prior to the recent update re infill drilling success and 20k boe/d production for the few weeks prior to the RNS.

Was hoping for a repeat at JSE of the random jump ups from similar undervalued but less liquid shares such at Petra Diamond, Parkmead etc -that went up 40-50% over the past couple of weeks for no good reason.

Hopefully JSE gives us such positive movements early in the new year :)

[1ajm] 29/12/2023 19:09

Calm down ash. You bombard anyone who wants to have any sort of discussion that doesn't include the words 'boom to 100p' or 'takeover incoming' with spam copy/paste posts. We all want the same thing here,




Hopefully a trading update some time in Jan/feb with unaudited 2023FY financials and how 2023 ended, update of 2024 so far, Akatara nearing construction completion and ready for testing etc.

JSE selling 1.7m barrels at year end will soften the montara mishaps a bit at least.

Anyone who said my 40p year end forecast was a troll low ball valuation, 36.5p was the correct year end forecast. I aimed a bit high.

H1 2024 6-months of 20,000bopd into akatara opening smoothly is the main target for me ($250m+ revenue). A lot to look forward too. Need to get above the 200MA and then the warrants price Q1 2024 hopefully. All things running smoothly end of H1 and H2 2024 is realistically when JSE could have momentum.

Keeping in mind JSE are still growing and won't be looking to prioritise clearing debt and build a large cash build over making new acquisition.

Please a smooth 6-months, no more NOPSEMA directives. Lose revenue for maintenance holding the cards.

IMO/DYOR

[ashkv] 28/12/2023 10:50

Hope all had a joyous Christmas and 2024 is shaping up (god wiling to be a year that JSE goes back above 100p!!!)

Akatara completion update
Infill Drilling Update
Further Acquisitions
Montara remediation update

Just a few items to look forward to into 2024 and the biggie - First gas from Akatara in Q2 2024... Current production is imho discounted 60-70% from market value... and hopefully Aktara progress boosts SP!!!

[ashkv] 28/12/2023 09:36

20,000 boe/d of crude sold a premium to Brent which is produced in OECD low tax jurisdictions with an Enterprise Value (EV = Market Cap + Debt - Cash) of USD 248 million.

Per management value of firm if they were to sell would be at present prior to Akatara restart in the 90-100p range...

BBG Analyst average 12m target price is 75p with a high target of 90p!!!

found this on the half year results 2023, with a $59m 6 month loss;


'We therefore acted decisively to maintain a robust balance sheet by finalising the RBL in May and by raising an additional gross $53 million of new equity in June. As a result of these actions, we ended the first half in a strong liquidity position.'


Were they worried the RBL wouldn't be enough. Glad that's over with anyway.

Most of that $59m was spent in akatara development right? They were still producing 8-10k bopd.

[king suarez] 22/12/2023 18:26

The equity raise was a condition of the RBL? (to not breach convenants)

[1ajm] 22/12/2023 14:11

Q2/Q3.....equity fundraise $52m. (+$35m Tyrus capital backed funds which I'm assuming they didn't need in the end?)

Q4.....1.7mmboe sales $140m+ revenue, (Since the beginning of Q4 2023, the Company has lifted approximately 1.4 mmboe generating significant revenues. A further 370,000 boe are expected to be lifted in December, with proceeds expected to be received before year-end.)

How do you guys look at this?

With the $200m (limited to a lower value based on akatara progress?) RBL completed a couple of weeks earlier. (end of may and equity fundraise june/july)

Obviously Q4 has been a big win, which they didn't know at the time but why did they need the equity fundraise?

[donald pond] 22/12/2023 10:06

ENQ offers incredible value still imo

[nigelpm] 22/12/2023 09:57

Whilst there's no direct read through to JSE.

Consolidation in the sector will buoy everything. I'd not be surprised to see HBR as a larger entity swallow up the likes of SQZ and ENQ.

[yasx] 22/12/2023 08:51

Cracking deal at HBR (a stock I hold) - remains cheap.

[s34icknote] 22/12/2023 08:29

Hoping this is a new year tip ?

[1ajm] 21/12/2023 17:59

38-40p year end?

[sea7] 21/12/2023 15:52

yep - that is some deal

[nigelpm] 21/12/2023 15:36

That hbr deal is an astonishing one. Never seen anything like it.
