Sdx Energy Share Discussion Threads

Sdx will have finance. :rolleyesSdx does have the infrastructure unlike Char.Sdx does have an large offtaker who is willing to pay for gas upfront.Sdx valued there whole 55% interest at 6p a share. The remaining is worth 4p a share at least. Add west gharib, cash in a bank and receivables, sdx will get significant funds. Wheres this sdx will find it difficult to raise funds coming from?Citic have 3 large warehouse in kenitra, they need consistent gas, i bet they would be interested in funding us..

Roman we won’t need to borrow after Egypt

[roman2325] 07/12/2023 09:43

I think my point is they have just partnered because they couldn't find the financing to fund the venture themselves.

This is the conundrum our BOD need to solve: how to finance this when you can't borrow. I am not sure what the solution is

They are offshore morocco and need to spend alot of money to get into production.

Anyone follow Chariot?

"A further heads of terms for a larger prepayment amount is currently under negotiation and is expected to be agreed and funds drawn by early 2024. The Company plans to direct this second prepayment towards funding a further multi-well back-to-back drilling programme. As mentioned in the Company's announcement of 4 September 2023, this type of back-to-back drilling, which allows development of gas behind pipe (booked reserves), further increases operational efficiency, reduces costs and ensures that immediate and future demand can be met."This was 13th march rns, once the disposal is confirmed, i bet we get offtake rns too. Gould looks like he has all his ducks in a row.

Neo, I've read the document, I don't see many details on the costs of all this... Did you read any finance-related blurb in the new strategy? I didn't.

"If" they don't dispose by month end, the due diligence has failed and they're back to square 1? Am i not right?

[winnet] 06/12/2023 15:22

I am sure that if they get something it will be gone within a year or so if they do a multi well campaign and green energy capex programme, hence funding requirements suspicion... The CEO lad is a banker, he's bound to love a bit of fundraising!

[roman2325] 06/12/2023 15:13

Firstly: how much does it cost to build a pipeline? And how much does it cost to build a green energy infrastructure?

Basically what we do know is they are very good at burning cash, and the proceeds we get from Egypt/the offtake are (in my opinion) unlikely to cover the bill. I would just be surprised if the total proceeds were $15m, and capex over the next 24 months comes in at $15m (for example). I would expect it to be higher

You honestly think as they stand today they are in a position to fund expansion purely from the current portfolio?

[littlened] 06/12/2023 15:06

Roman Why do you think SDX will need to raise money once they have Egypt proceeds ?

[roman2325] 06/12/2023 15:02

Little - I hear you however raising money in O&G in 2023 is very different to running a startup in 2018. Bill Gates is very capable but I wouldn't vote for him to run SDX

I am a 'medium-term' holder but I can see why this is sub 4p

[winnet] 06/12/2023 14:53

there is no info in the RNS about financing, is there NEO?

[littlened] 06/12/2023 14:51

Roman,Have you read the CV of our CEO.He is an experienced entrepreneur not a dour Scotsman or a charlatan

[neo26] 06/12/2023 14:47

Read the strategy rns, for godsake.

[winnet] 06/12/2023 14:15

Hi Roman,
I havent sold out! Just cut my exposure. Got a bit over excited...

The answer is when the RNS is released i will read it, see how much they managed to get it, and see if there's some nasty fundraising or horrendous equity build [there always is with new strategies etc], Then make a decision.

I figure that my knowledge of the business will allow me to make a quick and educated decision but without the risk of holding the full position through the RNS. I don't know or trust these directors.

Hope this makes sense!

[roman2325] 06/12/2023 13:44

That is not worth mentioning Neo because it has been mentioned 94 times this week already

[neo26] 06/12/2023 11:18

And worth mentioning $8m is due from Morocco, the govt and offtakers.Mkt cap 8m is too low..

[neo26] 06/12/2023 11:12

No one is stopping him to speak.

[roman2325] 06/12/2023 10:07

Neo let the man speak please

[neo26] 06/12/2023 09:53

This will partly be reason why net cash from end of dec 22 was $4.9m and 6 months end of june 23 its reduce to $3.5m. Egypt didnt pay on time compare to prev year. Imho it has to be sold for around $20m, this is an discount already..Lets see sdx...

[neo26] 06/12/2023 09:43

So it begs the question what does $10m in receivables, $6.7m cash in egypt, South Disouq and West Gharib go for? Judging by the time its taking it should be a decent amount even though an discount will be given. Watch this space..

[neo26] 06/12/2023 09:40

Looking back at the receivables, around $9.8m accounts for egypt operations. In 6 months ending june 23 the receivables for SOuth Disouq increased by another $2.5m and in West Gharib it decreased by $1m. So all in all an additional $1.5m could have been added to cash balance at the end of june 23 if the status quo continues and egypt paid on time."$9.8 million (31 December 2022: $8.4 million) of current receivables relates to gas, condensate sales and production service fees that are due from GPC and EGAS, both of which are Government of Egypt-controlled corporations. The Company expects to collect outstanding receivables of $7.3 million (31 December 2022: $4.8 million) for South Disouq, and $2.5 million (31 December 2022: $3.6 million) for West Gharib in the normal course of operations."

Morning Winnet - keen to hear...what would make you buy back in (forgetting portf. allocation for a second)?

What would you like to see from the disposal news if that's the kicker? (or not at all of course)
