What I know about the oil industry is pretty dangerous.
Anyone have any comments on how to put a value to this company?
This is my clumsy attempt...
The potential oil reserve at eastern bush well #1 is put at 253mil barrels
So if they are lucky and they achieve that, then we have the following: Current oil price:- $65USD (Give or take a few dollars ;) Current exchange rate:- 0.82 (Give or take a few points ;) Oil price in AUD: $79.27 Potential Inground Value(IGV) of reserve:- $20 Billion!(Yip not million BILLION) They have a 50% stake in this project, so their share would be say $10Billion
This a dual listed company (NZ), so shares/oppies on issue are: Aus: 100mil NZ: 75mil Oppies: 30mil In all,fully diluted, there are/will be 205million shares
So crudely put, the IGV per share would be: $10billion /205million = $48.57ps
Now lets divide that by 10 to come to a fair valuation before development costs etc: $48.57/10 = $4.85ps
So if, the big IF, they do strike it, there is a potential for a 20 bagger here!!!!
Please note this was just a quick put together comment, so any input would be much appreciated... It all looks good to me, with the obvious high risk attached when drilling for oil!
