Outlook: Watch for Intra Isongo

After the completion of the farm-down to Lukoil/NewAge in 2015, the bulk of Bowleven’s value lies in its 20% interest in the Etinde gas condensate field and significant cash resources. In the current market, these cash resources (with no debt or outstanding work commitments) put it in a strong position as a well-funded developer and mean it has the ability to screen additional inorganic opportunities, as well as take advantage of falling service costs to maximise value. We expect the two carried appraisal wells in the Intra Isongo to be drilled in late 2016/early 2017, with the potential to more than triple the company’s resource base. As the project approaches FID in 2017, we would expect investors to attribute more value to the development but, for now, more than half of our core NAV of 45p/share is made up of cash. Our RENAV of 60p/share includes an uplift from the Intra Isongo and a potential development at Bomono.
