Exploration setbacks, but shares backed by core
We update our valuation to reflect the Druid and SNE North well results and lower long-term oil price assumption. We look forward to the half-year results on 21 August when Cairn plans to update the market on reserves estimates and the development concept for SNE, which will help to firm up potential value for the field. After adjustments and accounting for our lower long-term oil price assumption, the contingent NAV falls to 196p (from 225p/share).Cairn Energy is an oil and gas exploration and development company.
