Tullow Oil | Updates – reserves, Kenya disposal, CEO
Tullow has announced a number of key updates including the appointment of Ian Perks as CEO, completion of its Kenya disposal, and, most recently, a reserves update. As indicated at the interim results, Ghanaian reserves were revised down but we believe the negative adjustment of 7.3mmboe to Proven and Probable (2P) Reserves is likely less than the market feared and should be more than offset by conversion of 18.2mmboe of Contingent Resource into 2P Reserves once the Ghanaian licence extensions to 2040 are executed. With Brent at US$69/bbl we are increasingly confident in our above consensus forecast for the oil price. We make no changes to our forecasts, and our risked net asset value calculation remains at 53p, almost five times the current share price. Forward multiples remain exceptionally low, and a successful refinancing would remove a key uncertainty that should allow the shares to trade significantly higher, we expect.Tullow Oil is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company.
