Farm-down to VOG monetises Bomono gas

Bowleven’s (BLVN) farm-out with Victoria Oil and Gas (VOG) is probably the quickest route to market for Bomono gas. While BLVN has had to sacrifice 80% of its interest in the block, the deal allows gas to be sold to Victoria’s existing network of customers at a gas price significantly above that expected from other solutions with very little further capex required in the near future. On our estimates, 7mmscfd of production should bring in around $6-7m in direct revenues and royalties, corresponding to around c $4m in post-tax cash flows, a useful addition to Bowleven’s income. On the assumption that the deal completes, we increase our core NAV from 49p/share to 53p/share to reflect Bomono’s inclusion.
