Faroe Petroleum (Buy, TP: GBP142.00) - Neutral guidance and update

Faroe Petroleum guided for 2018 production of 12–15kboed, slightly below expectations. The 2018 opex/boe guidance was in line with our expectations, while the capex guidance was below consensus. The end-2017 net cash position of GBP75m was in line with consensus. 2P reserves of 97.7mmboe were up 20% YOY, and in line with our estimate. We expect a neutral share price reaction today, as slightly soft production guidance is offset by capex guidance being below consensus.
