COMPANY CUE Energy Resources Ltd | CUE | $0.38/share RECOMMENDATION Buy | Very High Risk | $0.55/share target EVENT Artemis progress report: Expect to reach top of Calypso reservoir early next week KEY POINTS ? Progress of drilling has been good, current depth is ~1,870m with intermediate casing set. The Blow Out Preventer (BOP ? a critical piece of safety gear) and riser are currently being installed. ? MEO anticipates the next stage of drilling will commence on Friday 3rd Dec, after which the top of the Calypso reservoir should be reached within 2.5 days, so we could expect more news early next week. It is at this stage where we may possibly receive news of gas shows as the well approaches its target depth. ? The Calypso reservoir is the first of the two reservoirs targeted in the Artemis well. Calypso has a mean estimated recoverable gas potential of 6.4TCF. The lower formation, Legendre, has a mean potential recoverable gas estimate of 5.6TCF. ? CUE is free-carried through the current well. We risk-value Artemis (CUE 15%) at 18cps. Unrisked value is 72cps. Whilst exploration of this nature is always high-risk, success could be transformational for CUE. We have provided additional information on Artemis in our initiation report dated 17 November 2010.
