CHAR, BOIL and EOG

News today from Chariot Oil & Gas (CHAR) that the operator has commenced drilling the Rabat Deep 1 well.  Operations are expected to take approximately 50 days and the prize is a gross mean prospective resource of 768 million barrels of oil (76.8 million barrels net to CHAR).  The technical situation in the market is complicated by the pending placing, but even if it all goes wrong there is still the Prospect S exploration well to look forward to later in the year with a gross mean prospective resource of 300 million barrels net to Chariot.

Baron Oil (BOIL) made an investor presentation this morning.  In addition to its quite well known interests in the Colter and Wick prospects (along with Reabold Resources (RBD), United Oil & Gas (UOG) and Upland Resources (UPL)) BOIL also has the El Barco prospect in Peru and is negotiating a deal for a new partner to pay 50% of the $1.4 million cost of the El Barco well to be drilled mid-2018 targeting unrisked recoverable P50 prospective resources estimated by Baron at 25 billion cubic feet of gas.  With $4.9 million in the bank, BOIL is embarking on a new chapter.

Europa Oil & Gas (EOG) is also worth a look.  EOG announced today that it is aiming to drill its Inishkea prospect in 2019/2020 targeting 2.5 trillion cubic feet of gas. In the meantime, Europa is working hard to complete a farm-in to their South Porcupine licences where they have a leading position with four licences and audited prospective resources across five prospects of 2 billion barrels of oil plus eleven prospects and leads with a further prospective in-house resource of 2.2 billion barrels of oil.

With three good ones above, I shall refrain from commenting on the "wrong'uns" today.

Hurricane Energy (London HUR US OTC HRCXF ) announced an update on its proposed financial restructuring.   Subject to directions of the court, a meeting of the bondholders is to be held on 4 June 2021 to consider and, if thought fit, approve the restructuring plan.  Hurricane is warning shareholders and bondholders that in the event the restructuring plan is not approved, either by the bondholders or the court, it is likely that there would be a controlled wind-down of operations followed by an insolvent liquidation of the company. Even if approved, in return for releasing $50 million of the principal amount outstanding under the convertibles, bondholders will receive ordinary shares comprising 95% of the fully diluted pro forma equity of the company, which values the existing equity at less than 0.1p per share.   I’ve been warning about HUR all the way from the low 30s down and all that was necessary to see what was going to happen here was to read and understand the consequences

Pantheon Resources (AIM PANR OTC PTHRF ) announced a management resource upgrade on its Shelf Margin Deltaic sequence encountered in the the Talitha #A well.   It estimates that the SMD-B zone has the potential to contain 2.6 billion barrels of oil in place and a P50 contingent resource (recoverable) of 404 million barrels of oil.   Analysis is not yet complete on the SMD-A and SMD-C zones, although it is anticipated that the SMD-A will experience a reduction, whereas the SMD-C is broadly in line with previous analysis.   Crucially, Pantheon confirmed that discussions have commenced with a number of groups for the purpose of seeking the farmout of a working interest percentage in one or more of its Alaskan projects, the aim being to complete a farmout or funding in the fourth quarter to provide sufficient capital for future drilling and testing.   PANR 's objective for winter 2021 / 22 is for an active work programme to test all zones of the Talitha #A well and to drill at least

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 trading of shares by dire
