AAOG, UKOG, SAVP and RBD

News today from Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG) announcing the finalisation of a contract with Schlumberger to supply support services for the drilling of the new TLP-103 well, the completion of the workover of the TLP-101 well and the bringing forward of the workover of the TLP-102 well so that it will be completed by early April.  To me it seems clear that they will announce the placing then, hoping that the workovers will this time have resulted in a meaningful increase in production.

UK Oil & Gas Investments (UKOG) slipped out news on Friday afternoon of another convertible loan conversion, this time at 1.42p per share.  There is still £5.25 million outstanding, so based upon the decline to date, the share price should be well under 1p by the time the loan is fully converted, probably sometime in the summer.  At this point I would expect to see a "conventional" discounted placing, followed by a huge ramp.  It's one to keep an eye on.

Savannah Petroleum (SAVP) waited until well after market close on Friday to announce that one of their institutional investors has sold down.  The company seems to be going nowhere now and with the massive supply of shares issued as a result of the Nigeria acquisition, even the Niger drilling campaign appears to be having no impact.

Finally, Reabold Resources (RBD) announced today the authority granted by the general meeting to the directors to allot the new placing shares.  I suspect that new acquisition announcements can be expected very soon now.

Fairly quiet last week for major news, but still plenty worth mentioning.   Eco Atlantic (ECO) announced the mobilisation of the Stenna Forth drillship which is now en route to Guyana.  Spud of the Jethro Lobe prospect is expected on or around 26 June. Amerisur Resources (AMER) announced approval of the farm-out agreement with Occidental relating to four exploration blocks in southern Columbia holding an estimated 448 MMBO mid-case gross prospective resources.  In return for acquiring a 50% interest in each block, Occidental will fund a $93 million exploration and appraisal programme starting this year.  In the meantime, AMER has increased production to over 6,800 BOPD. Diversified Gas & Oil (DGOC) continued to announce share buy backs running at around £1 million per day.  They are managing to support the price for the time being, but with no rebuttal of the allegations made against them, what happens when, as is inevitable, they run o...

Challenges raising funds are now becoming apparent for lower calibre companies and managements.   UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) ’s recent open offer, aiming for £4.7 million, raised only £462,554, while Petro Matad (MATD) had to announce last week that it managed to raise only £76,000 of the $2 million hoped for.   The $9.7 million previously raised by MATD through a 3.5p placing and subscription had already come at a terrible price to shareholders, with the shares apparently “pre-sold” by insiders all the way from 8.8p down.   The price now is 2.9p. The fun and games continue at Block Energy (BLOE) , where a management previously unable to distinguish water from oil (that’s the innocent explanation) is trying to stop a shareholders’ resolution to commission an independent forensic investigation into the affairs of the company.   Among other things, the shareholders are looking for failures to disclose information to the market in a timely manner and inappropriate tradin...

Predator Oil & Gas (LSE PRD ) announced drilling results for the MOU-1 well.   Only gas shows, but evidence of thermogenic gas migration supports the pre-drill geological interpretation for a deep “gas kitchen” connected to shallower reservoirs by large faults and Predator will be proposing to its partner to drill the previously defined MOU-4 location later this year.   PRD has been covered in the private blog each week since December 2019 from as low as 1.3p and reached a high of 22.5p pre-spud.   i3 Energy (AIM I3E TSX ITE ) announced an Alberta acquisition plus a placing to finance it.   The company has signed a definitive agreement with Cenovus Energy to acquire petroleum and infrastructure assets within i3’s core area for a total consideration of $53.7 million.   Funding of £40 million ($55.4 million) has been raised at 11p per share.   The acquisition includes approximately 8,400 boepd of production, 79.5 mmboe of 2P reserves and an inventory...
