Tethys Share Discussion Threads

I think a multiple bag from here is very possible even before a takeover is factored in but I think 3-4x is a viable target with a ramp up of production, achieving world oil prices and moving to a proper exchange. The resumption of dividends will also add value to its shares and be welcomed by investors.

Market cap around £50 million at the minute. Could be looking at 3-4x from here in terms of takeover maybe but can't see it getting into the billions territory TBH!
You would think Wells has an exit plan in that respect or maybe they want to slurp up some nice big dividends first!

Tethys have had some good press since the last announcement. Although nothing is set in stone for the moment, I think people are starting to realise what will happen when it is.

I hope so, need that to break even :(

Did someone say £5 a share?

[tankerton] 16/2/2024 10:09

Or indeed tidy up the balance sheet ahead of a takeover.

And now the positive press releases begin....and about time!!

BahamasOil,
The real excitement will come when Tethys are granted their export license. That alone will transform the value of Tethys assets which I'm expecting to have increased significantly by that time. Then I think we will see bidding activities by those who appreciate just how transformational an export license is to Tethys valuation.

I am starting to get a bit excited here, thanks all.
As a novice I have turned to Mr Google and his offspring Gemini for information on valuations and it threw up some interesting comparisons with previous deals, listing these three as a starter with the usual caveats.

Here are some examples from the last five years:

ConocoPhillips' acquisition of Permian Basin assets from Shell (2022): This deal involved 2.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) for $9.5 billion, implying a price of around $4.32 per BOE. While not solely oil, it provides a benchmark for large unconventional resource deals.

ExxonMobil's acquisition of Kosmos Energy's offshore assets in Ghana, Senegal, and Mauritania (2022): This deal involved around 500 million barrels of oil equivalent for $4.2 billion, translating to roughly $8.40 per BOE. This reflects the higher value attributed to offshore resources with established production infrastructure.

Chevron's acquisition of Noble Energy (2020): This deal involved Noble's diverse portfolio with significant shale and offshore assets, estimated to hold several billion BOE. While the exact breakdown per barrel is unavailable, it showcases a large-scale company acquisition within the industry.

Additional factors to consider when comparing these examples:

Resource type: Shale oil, conventional oil, and offshore oil have different production costs and complexities, impacting their value.
Location: Political stability, infrastructure availability, and transportation costs influence value significantly.
Production stage: Early-stage exploration carries higher risks than mature producing fields, affecting valuation.
Deal specifics: Synergies between buyer and seller, tax implications, and other deal-specific factors can influence the final price.

I then remembered a deal by Oando with ConnacoPhilips in Nigeria (which might be considered a semi-cowboy location) and this might be the best comparison.

Oando did acquire assets in Nigeria, but from a different company:

March 2013: Oando bought a 20% stake in four onshore assets from ConocoPhillips for $1.79 billion. This deal involved approximately 213 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) of proved and probable reserves, along with additional contingent resources.

Oil price in 2013 was $108/barrel

Am I running away with my imagination?

See what I mean.
dplewis1 is just a sick TROLL with a vindictive agenda.
DESPICABLE

[dr3dd] 15/2/2024 08:56

Meanwhile.......Could it be time for one of these.....An extra 25 mill in the bank has to create something eh!

[dplewis1] 15/2/2024 08:39

Not me princess. Maybe someone else thinks you're a multi id ramping bellend.. Nigel softened you up for another N4 placing yet..?

[tankerton] 15/2/2024 08:17

j4ckster.
Take a look at my posts. You will note that every single one has been voted down. Such is the mentality of my TROLL.
DO NOT let it detract from last night's good news or the game changing nature of Tethys near term future.

[j4ckster] 15/2/2024 07:17

Nice news! I´m also wondering when those lost reserves will be found :)

Thx for posting Tankerton, can´t believe someone gave you a thumbs down.

[dr3dd] 14/2/2024 23:31

Great news, you beat me to it Tankerton with the news release. Time to start buying more shares me thinks before lift off. Could this be the year of Tethys Petroleum????


Well done Tethys Petroleum team.

[cutliff2] 14/2/2024 23:11

Thanks for the update Tankerton.
Those reserves lost down the back of the settee will appear soon no doubt.

[tankerton] 14/2/2024 22:55

A big reduction in liabilities, now there's a surprise
What next, a big increase in reserves?

[dr3dd] 14/2/2024 17:16

Meanwhile we should all be using this opportunity to be buying shares. It is not going to be this cheap when the news drops....Bill Wells knows hence why he was buying pretty much everyday since the latter part of last year before he was not allowed to buy due to price sensitive news.
