Range Resources Share Discussion Threads

notarealdr " I'll still be sitting on a mountain of money." maybe not as much as the UK Euro-lottery winner last Friday said to be a staggering £84 million, "you must be in it to win it" and we are.

Thanks Alistair.

FWIW i think the current price represents a great buying opportunity. I bought last week at much higher levels than this but I am not bothered i could buy cheaper this week. Why? Because when the share price is $2 I won't give a tinkers cuss if I paid 3p or 13p, I'll still be sitting on a mountain of money.

I don't get hung-up about the price I paid, only how many I have. Right now I don't care about either.

Range Resources Pushes Ahead With Texan Development As Key Puntland Well Edges Nearer

Range Resources, which is listed on AIM and the ASX, is moving ahead with its drilling plans in Texas, this week spudding the Russell Bevly-1 appraisal well on the North Chapman Ranch field. The aim of the well is to provide further detail on the size of the reservoir and move the reserves up the value chain. The US$3.8 million well, which will be drilled to a depth of 14,000 feet, lies less than half mile from the Smith-1 well.
That well, which came onstream in February 2010, proved a real success for the dual-listed company, striking 215 billion cubic feet of gas, 16 million barrels of oil and 15 million barrels of natural gas liquids (gross). This is a significant resource in the heart of the Texan onshore oil and gas industry and is quite a coup for Range, which has a 25 per cent stake in the Smith-1 well and 20 per cent of the Russell Bevly-1 well. That gives Range, which has a market cap in London of £27 million, exposure to net reserves of 45 bcf of gas, 3.3 million barrels of oil and 3.2 million barrels of NGLs, which independent petroleum engineers Lonquist reckon is worth US$226 million in discounted cash flows.

Smith-1 was brought online less than three months after confirmation of a commercial discovery – exactly inline with the guidance given when Range made its initial investment in the project in September 2009 - at an initial rate of 3.3 million cubic feet per day and 290 bpd without fraccing. The company anticipates payback within eight to ten months of production.

This is an impressive result for a reasonably small outlay and vindicates the company's move into Texas in September 2009, which at the time was quite a departure from its exploration interests in geo-political hotspots in the FSU and Africa. Range's executive director Peter Landau said an initial investment of US$1.8 million to drill, test and commercialise the Smith-1 well had resulted in a "significant uplift in shareholder value". The plan now, of which Russell Bevly-1 is a part, is to drill a series of wells to move more of the possible reserves into the P2 and P1 category and to bump up production numbers.

Investors in Range Resources, however, aren't backing the company for the yields that can flow from a modest production stream in Texas: at its heart, Range is a frontier explorer with assets in Somalia and Georgia that come with a significant political risk but could deliver a company-making pay day.

And that possible pay day is edging a little nearer, with plans to drill in the Puntland, an autonomous state within Somalia, later this year, an area that Range is hoping will prove to be a replica of the multi-billion barrel basins across the Gulf of Aden in Yemen. Puntland has attracted industry interest in the past, with major oil companies spending over US4150 million here before being driven out by civil war.

Now, Range and its partners reckon the time is ripe to test whether these lands really do follow the geological trend arcing down from nearby Yemen. Range and its joint venture partners, TSX-listed Africa Oil Corp and Lion Energy, are finalizing drill-ready targets for the first drilling campaign in Puntland for over 18 years. One well is planned on the Dharoor Block based on newly acquired 2D seismic while a well is also being mulled for the Nugaal Block in 2010/2011. Range is also keen to finalise a PSA to explore offshore Puntland, in waters that for now are better known for piracy than wildcatting (although Range stresses that the Somalian piracy problem doesn't extend into Puntland waters).

In Georgia, Range and its 50/50 partner Strait Oil & Gas Ltd, have completed a 410 km 2D seismic programme to complete their work commitments under Phase II of the PSA. The data is now being processed and interpreted by RPS Energy with the aim of identifying drill-ready targets over the summer. Range may then seek to find farm-in partners to help fund a future drilling programme. This is proven oil and gas area and could yield some interesting results for the company. Importantly, this higher risk exploration will now come with the back-up of production from the US, adding strength to the balance sheet, diversity to the portfolio and a level of comfort for investors.

CNF WTF is WF?

[davethechef] 17/5/2010 09:40

I'm in for some more, 3.85p; i can't see this price lasting into next month at least; we'll see.

[captainnelsonforties] 17/5/2010 09:24

WF and Alistair,

Interesting reading. It certainly demonstrates the value here going forward. Once we get free of those Oz sellers taking us back down on every run so far we'll move ahead as things develop. It certainly shows the potential of Georgia for Q4.

That's a good recemmendation from oilbarrel; and the latest miningmaven interview mentions how undervalued & oversold the latest developments have been taken by the markets, which continue though, volatile.
I'm sure a number of LTH here are surprised how you can again buy for below 4p after that positive reserve report.
One would expect some news on Georgia next month, if not before.

Good find Alistair.

Texas on Track!

[siday2580] 17/5/2010 09:02

It had better hurry. This price is shameful!

[fairdeal2008] 17/5/2010 08:59

SAGEM is best filtered. Unless you have a fond liking of immature, irrational commentary. RRL is oversold and will rebound in due course. The rebound will be swift and sharp imho.

[cashandcard] 17/5/2010 08:52

Sagem,

Get a grip ffs! Many a share has not reflected net value for various reasons. Just because it has not gone where you want it doesn't mean its a dud. IMO this is going to be a hot play towards end of year as Puntland and Georgia drilling programmes begins. This is the time, in my opinion, to be accumulating stock before the crowd come in.

Cash

[alistair4444] 17/5/2010 08:51

Topped up again myself this morning at 3.75 accumulating more all the time.

[sagem] 17/5/2010 08:46

No change going down again perhaps its only WATER in the well after all what a DUD

[greatfull dead] 17/5/2010 06:44

Down in OZ.

A chance possibly to buy more today. Markets worldwide down. May have an affect here in London this a.m, who knows! Going to set a silly limit order in for more. Have to travel back up NI orth so wont have access to the net until late this evening.

The share price has not been rising due to the fact that their have been more sells than buys when we get the opposite more buys than sells the share price will rise without any news. It might even happen tomorrow Monday.
