19/7/2017 16:28	lowflow: I think its very likely that the stock will be below 40p in August, and I tell you why here: 1. The current gas discovered in Tendrara doesn't support the current share price. James was very unclear about the 1 TCF = £1 on the last call, he would stand behind that number anymore. I am not surprised, as a number of variables have changed since they made that statement: a) The number of shares has exploded (James and the team have printed options / warrants to suppliers, BOD, lenders, former director and just anyone who borrowed the WC at the Seven Oak office), b) The gas price assumption they used in the Sep 2015 CPR, just doesn't hold anymore. Algeria is selling gas to Spain and Italy for $5-5.5 / mcf, so why the h.ll would Morocco utilities pay a premium to this price. Anyone who now claims that SDX is getting much higher prices and Sound should get the same prices, needs to consider that SDX is producing very small volumes and their sales can more be seen as distribution sale to small local industries while Sound sale will be going to CCGT requiring 10-20x what SDX is selling. 2. Sound needs to raise capital, you will now say that - NO James said on the call that they wont. I tell you one thing, I have listen to a lot of these investor calls, and in my view James was indeed warming up the market for a capital increase. And they need to raise equity and its pretty simple why they need to do that. They have $40m in cash and $30m in debt, and to be frank I think Grenberry who have written the bond to Sound feels that its pretty important that Sound holds a solid cash balance to support this bond. The more important reason to raise cash is the following. Sound next well will be on Tendrara or in that area. Sound can afford its share of the well with the cash balance. But if you consider the implication of the result of this well you will see that the conservative and most prudent thing to do is to raise cash before drilling this well. If the well comes in great, the stock will bounce. But as we know all wells dosent come in (Badile and TE-8). So if the next Tendrara dosent come in, the stock will be slaughtered, as they market will read it as, there might not be more to Tendrara than the discovery around TE5-TE7 and the stock could easily half to 20-25p. Considering this its much smarted to raise $30-50m before drilling this well, so they have plenty of cash to drill additional exploration/appraisal wells and support the Tendrara development of the next well is a duster. Raising $30-50m will put pressure on the stock, but its much better than raising $30-50m below 20p in Q1 2018 if the next well is a duster (if the equity market is even open for them). The pressure to raise cash will build up over the coming months and put pressure on the stock. 3. The fall in the share price is starting to get self-fulfilling. A lot of retail investor has put in significant parts of their savings and pensions in Sound. Most of them might have thought that they would take a fall in the share price and hold for the long run. But as we all know this is not the way psychology works. When the stock keeps going down 55p, 50p, 45p, 40p etc. The holders will feel significant pain and they will have to sell some of their positions as it’s the prudent thing to do. Golden Tickets are nice to have but in the end of the day its better to have some savings left rather than putting everything on James Golden Tickets. Below 40p in August.

05/7/2017 11:03	kevjames: Good job the RNS was positive - otherwise we would be in the 40's! Daybreakers - My research tells me that eastern Morocco could be a very lucrative gas producing area - if SOU can prove up the area with both seismic and the drill bit ( and the gas flows well ) then there is no doubt the economics will play out as there is demand for gas at good prices, there are tax incentives to explorers and there is already some supporting infrastructure. Is the shareprice worth 10 p or £10 - depends on what happens going forward, we currently have 0.5 TCF and the goal is 30TCF. If each TCF is worth £1 to the SOU share price, then even if only 2 TCF is proven, that is nearly a 4 bagger from here. The goal is to sell the asset at some point in the next 18-24 months. The downside is that they can't flow the gas (clearly the gas exists) and we need more funds or they go broke in trying to prove it up. Place your bets and GLA, I am still a buyer on the dips. However, if news suggests that the gas cannot be economically extracted from Tendrara (which seems unlikely given the TE6 and 7 data)then I will be out. Read Full Thread Follow Reply
23/5/2017 08:23	terry topper: Cantor's comments: Sound Energy (BUY) – Final TE-8 results and revised estimates up to 1.03Tcf SOU LN (70p, TP 76p), Market Cap: £508m Our view: Following an active drilling programme at Tendrara, Eastern Morocco, Sound has today issued its revised internally generated resource estimates for locations that have been drilled. The company estimates that there is a total of 1.03Tcf (gross) GIIP, consisting of a mid-case of 0.63Tcf on the TE-5 horst and an additional 0.40Tcf unrisked GIIP (gross) over the Lakbir High and the TE-4 high up-dip of the well. Prior to the drilling of TE-8 the company had internally estimated GIIP over the TE-5 horst of between 0.3Tcf and 0.5Tcf (gross). Final Investment Decision ("FID") on the initial development of the estimated 0.63Tcf GIIP over the TE-5 horst is planned for end of 2017. A competent persons report (CPR) will be conducted pre-FID.We will therefore leave our volumes unchanged until they are confirmed through this third party analysis later this year. The company continues its drilling activities at Sidi Mokhtar (Morocco) and Badile (Italy), which will provide a number of near term share price catalysts. We therefore retain our BUY rating and 76p TP. • Resource estimate grow to 1.03Tcf unrisked - Based on these final TE-8 results, the company has now reassessed its internal volumetric estimates within the area of the Tendrara 3D seismic, and today reports internal preliminary volume estimates over the Tendrara greater TE-5 horst and Lakbir and TE-4 highs to a total of 1.03Tcf (gross), consisting of a mid-case of 0.63Tcf on the TE-5 horst and an additional 0.40Tcf unrisked over the Lakbir High and the TE-4 high up-dip of the well. FID on the initial development of the estimated 0.63Tcf over the TE-5 horst is planned for end of 2017. A competent persons report will be conducted pre-FID. • Sound continues to build out its Moroccan footprint - As announced last week, the SAIPEM rig used to drill TE-8 has now arrived on site at Sidi Moktar in Western Morocco. Two wells will be re-entered and tested by Sound, Koba-1 and Kamar-1, have already been drilled at Kechoula by previous operators and have been estimated to have a gross unrisked mid case original gas in place in the Lower Liassic reservoir of 293Bcf. The company will require the reprocessing of existing 2D seismic, acquisition of new 2D seismic and drilling results before forming its own volume estimates for the exploration potential of the Sidi Moktar licences. • Attractive entry point - We believe that Sound has sufficiently grown its acreage position to become a material player in Mediterranean gas. The company is benefitting from attractive and robust pricing fundamentals which have served to boost project economics. With a number of drilling catalysts in the short term, supported by a robust financial position, and a funded 2017/18 drilling campaign, we see Sound’s current share price as representing a compelling entry point for investors. We therefore reiterate our BUY rating and 76p TP. • Risks – Geological risk, exploration risk (Badile), Government risk (Italy). Read Full Thread Follow Reply
18/4/2017 13:58	lowflow: Big question marks ahead The TE-8 well has not turned out to be the homerun, the market was hoping for. Its now been 20 days since Sound announce the result from TE-8, but with the caveat that they don’t have the full result until the cores from the well has been analyzed. We have had a few RNS since the TE-8 results announcement but neither of these announcements has given any incremental information about the TE-8 results. The company has 1.117bn shares in issue after the OGIF deal and including all warrants and options, that equates to a market cap of £770m or $961m. To justify this market cap Sound needs to find considerably more than the 300-500 bcf of gas in place they found at the core of Tendrara. Sounds owns 47.5% of this discovery. The expected recovery rate is 65%, which means that the net recoverable resources to Sound is 92-154 bcf or 15-26m boe. At the current share price the market is valuing this resources to $37-63/boe, which makes these resources to some of the most expensive on the market, assuming that Sound isn’t discovering any additional resources. The last weeks RNSs creates several questions marks to the Sound story. The issues began to arise when TE-8 didn’t come in like most shareholders had hoped for. Before TE-8 was drilled the game-plan was something like this: -> Drill TE-8 and prove up 1.5 TCF and prove up the Paleozoic -> Re-entry TE-1 and prove up 3-4 TCF -> Commission the CPR report which would put a more precise value on the 3-4 TCF, which would more than justify the current share price. -> Complete the large seismic program over Tendrara. The result from the seismic program would give a more precise picture of the size of the various prospect. And a path to the possible multiple TCF asset. This game-plan seems to have been knocked of the road since the completion of TE-8. -> TE-8 didn’t not turn out to be a homerun. The TAGI was tight and the Paleozoic seems to be a tighter rock as well. The results seem to be so inconclusive that 3 weeks in the lab has not been enough to decide what they have found. Maybe they should have sent the samples to CSI for a full forensic study instead! -> Todays RNS shows that there are big questions marks if and when the TE-1 well will be re-entered, as the rig is sent to Sidi-Moktar. The company has in the past said that its was of the highest priority to re-entry TE-1 if TE-8 was a success. -> It seems like the most likely scenario is now that Sound wants to completed the seismic program over the Tendrara block before they will drill additional wells. From an industrial perspective, it makes sense, but from a hyped AIM stock perspective its killing the equity story for many months to come. If this is the case it could very well be that Sound wont re-entry or drill anymore wells in the Tendrara block in 2017. Today’s RNS creates additional question marks when it comes to Sidi-Moktar. In the 2016 Annual Report, which came out 6 days ago the company wrote the following: Page 23 “In accordance with the Heads of Terms announced on 10 March 2016, Sound Energy’s effective interest in Sidi Moktar is expected to reduce to 25%, with the Company carried for the first $18m gross capital expenditure invested in the licence.” In todays RNS, Sound mgmt. explains that the company is so well capitalized that they don’t need to farm-out Sidi-Moktar. This seems a little bit odd as they 6 days ago thought it was a brilliant move to financially de-risk the asset by farming it out. Maybe James realized over the Easter Holiday, while eating some Chocolate Cupcakes that, hey we got plenty of cash in the bank lets not farm-out Sidi-Moktar. Lets not get into how this incremental spending adds up with the announcement of a share buyback 6 days ago. Today’s RNS, seems also to be an attempt to create some hype over the Sidi-Moktar asset, James or his assistant or someone else has over the long weekend managed to dig out a report from 1998 saying that someone at that time thought the block could hold 9 TCF. If I would be a guessing man I think James will continue this path and try to refocus investor interest on Sidi-Moktar when he will do his webcast next week. Nothing wrong with spreading some light on Sidi-Moktar but it probably tells you that Tendrara isn’t going to turn out to be the discovery of a decade as James has been talking about, at least not in the near future.

10/3/2017 08:01	hpotter: Cantor Fitzgerald Europe Research Morning Equity Note Sound Energy (BUY) – TE-8 reaches final casing point SOU LN (81p, TP 94p from Under Review), Market Cap: £586m Our view: Sound has announced that its third Tendrara well, TE-8, has now been drilled to the third and final casing point at a measured depth of 2,603m and that the 7" liner is being set and cemented in the TAGI II formation. The well is now approximately 2m from the target TAGI reservoir. The company will now proceed to drill the main well bore to the final true vertical depth of approximately 2,977m. The TE-8 well is a step out appraisal well c.12km to the North-East of TE-7 with the objective of proving up significant additional volumes in the TAGI reservoir whilst also, for the first time, drilling deeper into the Paleozoic formation. Success at TE-8 could lead to a further re-rating in Sound’s valuation in our view. Following the company’s proposed acquisition of a further 20% in Tendrara (for 272m of new ordinary shares), we believe the company’s valuation will be more heavily geared to success or failure at this key well. We update our valuation to take account of the proposed share dilution and increased working interest in the company’s Moroccan asset base. We therefore reiterate our BUY rating, with an updated target price of 94p from Under Review. · All paper consideration will be highly dilutive - The consideration for the acquisition will be the issue 272m new ordinary shares in Sound, representing c.29% of the company's enlarged issued share capital. At the last close (93.5p/share) the consideration has an implied market value of approximately £254.3m. Overall, we believe this deal makes a lot of sense for both counterparties. It allows Sound greater direct exposure to a key geography in its portfolio, an area which has so far created significant shareholder value of the past 12 months. It also allows OGIF to retain an indirect interest in the assets, with an opportunity to monetise its position through the sale of Sound equity if it wishes to do so. We do sight the potential risks on the downside however, if TE-8 proves to be unsuccessful, which if is the case, this deal could prove to be highly dilutive for existing Sound shareholders. · Attractive entry point - We believe that Sound has sufficiently grown its acreage position to become a material player in Mediterranean gas. The company is benefitting from attractive and robust pricing fundamentals which have served to boost project economics. With a number of event driven catalysts on the horizon, supported by a robust financial position, and a funded 2017 drilling campaign, we see Sound’s current share price as representing a compelling entry point for investors. We therefore retain our BUY stance and set a new TP of 94p (from Under Review). · Risks – Geological risk, exploration risk (Badile), Government risk (Italy).

10/2/2017 17:00	brookemia: Question and Answer to James yesterday, and just received answer guys, happy to share! Morning James, Hope today is going well and everyone close to you is hale and hearty. I was wondering if I might elicit an answer to a question that has been going around my head, and other investors. Sound is comprised of four elements,3 being in Morocco and Badile. If-after TE8 and further drilling/successful assessments/CPR, the share price went to £x per share. A would be suitor says, we should like to buy out Sound in Morocco and offer £XXXXXXXXXX, and Sound says yes, and the share price went to £xx per share, how would the remaining Badile investment apportionment be judged? In essence James, I am asking if there is/will be an apportionment of nominal MCAP per element or in Morocco/Italy ? Hello Alan and Wendy. Thanks for your question. Let me try to explain. Were someone to offer Sound to purchase it’s Moroccan asset and Sound accept the deal then Sound would exchange the asset for cash. The effect on the share price would theoretically be nil if the market perception of value of the asset was the same as the cash received. The Company could then chose to distribute the cash to shareholders in a tax efficient manner. Once the cash was distributed the share price should fall by the amount of the cash distributed divided by the number of shares in issue (although shareholder would be indifferent as they would hold the cash plus the shares). This is a rather theoretical question of course but I hope the logic makes sense. James Read Full Thread Follow Reply
16/12/2016 16:29	brookemia: Is now the time to buy Sound Energy? Share 11:02 15 Dec 2016 With a number of event driven catalysts on the horizon, supported by a robust financial position, and now a funded 2017 drilling campaign, we see Sound’s current share price as representing a compelling entry point for investors - Sam Wahab. Sound has sufficiently grown its acreage position to become a material player in Mediterranean gas, the analyst said The current share price represents an attractive entry point for would-be investors in Sound Energy (LON:SOU), the gas exploration company focused on Morocco and Italy. That, at least, is the belief of Sam Wahab, analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald. The shares, down 5% at 68p in morning trade, are worth 103p, according to the Cantor number cruncher. READ - Sound Energy primed to drill new well; reveals internal estimates for Morocco READ - Today's announcement in full Wahab’s call on the stock followed an update on drilling plans and publication of its first internal estimates of the scale of its Tendrara gas asset in Morocco. “We believe that Sound has sufficiently grown its acreage position to become a material player in Mediterranean gas,” the analyst said in a note to clients. “The company is benefitting from attractive and robust pricing fundamentals which have served to boost project economics. “With a number of event driven catalysts on the horizon, supported by a robust financial position, and now a funded 2017 drilling campaign, we see Sound’s current share price as representing a compelling entry point for investors.” For finnCap’s Dougie Youngson, who rates Sound a ‘buy’ up to 87p, one of the major potential ‘dial movers’ is the results from extended well test on latest well at Tendrara. “The purpose of this is to confirm the sustainability of the initial flow tests seen during the current work programme,” he said. The latest from Sound Earlier, Sound provided some guidance on the potential scale of Tendrara licence. Currently, the Sound team reckon there is between 300bn and 500bn cubic feet of gas in place based on the work carried out to date. The next well, a step out some 12 kilometres from the last hole, will test the lateral extent of the gas accumulation. If it successfully finds gas at commercial rates via TE-8, then the estimate for Tendrara rises to up to 1.5 trillion cubic feet in place. In a release to the stock exchange, Sound provided an update on the next well, where work is slated to start in February. It will test the TAGI reservoir as well as tapping for the first time the lower lying Palaeozoic horizons. Sound also confirmed it had retrieved memory gauges from its last hole, TE-7, that confirm “the reservoir pressure correlates with the gas gradient recorded at all previous wells on the structure”.

12/12/2016 10:38	ngms27: A tale of woe 22nd October 2015 MPE Heads of terms Under the heads of terms MPE has agreed, subject to contract, to grant Sound Energy an option to purchase MPE's 25% carried working interest in the Sidi Moktar Licences for a price of Euro 1.00 at any time up to first commercial gas from a Sidi Moktar Licence (the "Option"). On grant of the Option, the Company will issue MPE with new ordinary shares in the Company with a market value of £3,576,000. The Company will also pay MPE a 1.6% net profit interest in any future cash flows from the two existing wells of the Kechoula discovery. Share price on the 21st October was 16.75p 14th January 2016 MPE Farmout n consideration for the acquisition, Sound Energy will, on completion of the acquisition, issue MPE with 21,764,706 new ordinary shares in the Company and grant MPE a 1.6% net profit interest in any future cash flows from the Kechoula discovery. The acquisition, which remains subject to conditions precedent including regulatory approvals, follows the Company's announcement of 22 October 2015, in which the Company announced that it had entered into heads of terms with MPE (the "Heads of Terms") in respect of an option to acquire MPE's interest in the Sidi Moktar Licences. The option structure was subsequently deemed unnecessary as, with the consent of the Operator in the Sidi Moktar Licences, the Company was able to directly acquire MPE's 25% interest and maintain the carry currently enjoyed by MPE. Share price on the 13th January was 17p 26th January - PetroMaroc Heads of terms On completion of the Acquisition, Sound Energy will issue PetroMaroc with new ordinary shares in the Company with a market value of £3,650,000 and will grant PetroMaroc: (i) a 10% net profit interest in any future cash flows from the Kechoula discovery; and (ii) a 5% net profit interest in any future cash flows from structures within the Sidi Moktar Licences other than the Kechoula discovery. Closing price on the 25th January was 16.38p 10th March 2016 - Aquisition and Farmout Further to the Heads of Terms announced by the Company on 26 January 2016, the Company has now signed a binding agreement to acquire, subject to regulatory approvals, PetroMaroc's 50% working interest in, and operatorship of, the Sidi Moktar Licences (the "Acquisition"). On completion of the Acquisition, Sound Energy will issue 21,258,008 new ordinary shares in the Company to PetroMaroc as consideration and will also issue PetroMaroc: (i) a 10% net profit interest in any future cash flows from the Kechoula discovery; and (ii) a 5% net profit interest in any future cash flows from structures within the Sidi Moktar Licences other than the Kechoula discovery. These terms are identical to those announced on 26 January 2016. Closing price on the 9th March was 17p So the whole farmout was meant to cost £7,226,000 and Sound to have MPE's 25% carry. What we actually got was a cost of 43,022,714 shares with 50% above 50p being payable to Sound. That works out using todays price of 73p at £26.45m Then to make matters worse we give 66% of our 75% away for $6m cash and a $4.5m carry. So in pound terms we have paid £26.45m for an asset then sold 66% for £8.34m. This infers we paid at least 60% too much. So to summarise we have paid well over the top for distressed assets and then give them away. How ever you look at it one has to question James deal making in this instance. Lets hope it's not a white elephant OR that the existing farmout is reenaged upon for a better deal for share holders. #destroyingvalueinthedesert Read Full Thread Follow Reply
22/9/2016 11:16	zengas: For anybody looking at Sound you have to make your own investment choice - I personally don't worry about daily/weekly flutuations. I bought Sound for what they are saying/partnership with Schlumberger and for being a potential multi-bagger that may or may not be off the scale and getting in relative to what i beleive covers the share price for minimum downside. Cove Energy evolved out of Lapp Platts (not dissimilar to the old Sound Oil) with previous LP holders seriously diluted and on 29th June 2009 raised £4.2m at 12p to look for assets. On 18th September 2009 Cove (old Lapp Platts) bought into the Artumas Group assets who had previously been involved with the Mozambique Rovuma acreage and this is where Cove embarked on their journey with a placing to buy into the assets at 20p diluting the old LP holders even further. I bought in at around 21p and was immediately down over 25% but with ongoing success it was eventually sold for 240p (£1.22b). It was only after the 1st Cove/partners discovery (not flow tested nor were any until the 8th well was drilled) that the scale of the potential opportunity was envisaged - so in that context it is not dissimilar as to what Sound/Schlumberger is suggesting now and why i've obviously been attracted to it. Whatever it is about their new data/evaluation, it has changed their upside outlook. When you look at the Cove or IEC charts - easy looking back in hindsight I know, posters questioned valuations, needing cash etc capability of John Craven at Cove, some criticised his manner/dealing with staff/investors etc - route to markets if any, one institutional outfit sold out early on and that came in for criticism and of course 3 Cove directors never bought more than 50-70k shares between them from day-1 during the entire life of the company. More than enough to weigh on sentiment. So the moral for me is that's it's not any different here now with peoples perceptions at Sound - but now that we know they have indicated that 5-10 Tcf upside on Tendrara alone is potentially not going to cut it (never mind Badile, Sidi-Moktar, Meridja and the other assets) then bear in mind the potential value on offer way ahead of the current share price if Sound/Schlumberger continue to deliver regardless of what the share price does on a daily/weekly basis. Imo in the coming year Sound could well have significant production revenue which Cove did not have. Similarly IEC 25p to an eventual 1250p buy out ($2.4b) just over 3 years later had similar debate. Imo just let the company deliver on appraising the scale of the asset if it exists to such an extensive giant or super-giant scale. With the values attributed to the gas, tax holiday, pricing etc that's why imo the CEO hinted at potentially a 4 figure share price. Maybe people can't fathom that, there were plenty who couldn't imagine it at Cove or Imperial along the way and when a share price is already up 4-500%, its sometimes beyond peoples thinking that it could be only at a fraction of its true potential - and this is what the CEO has said regarding his description of don't see us as to how far we've come but potentially how far we have yet to go. It will only become apparent to the real potential if success continues to come in and there will be buyers, sellers, traders, margined players etc along the way. What i see is that there has been gas over a very, very wide area (7 out of 8 wells now) that could indicate giant or super giant possibilities. Whether we get that 4 figure share price or not even with significant discoveries I don't know given the potential for the company to become a takeover target, but if more of the the gas is there then the value should increase and bear in mind where it sits relative to Europe and high value markets. If it's not important why are Shell, ENI etc all there ? You won't see any vertical lines here.
