Canacol Energy - Realised gas sales support dividend
Canacol Energy is guiding to FY20 realised natural gas sales of 170–197mmscfd (cf 143mmscfd in FY19) as gas demand is picking up in Colombia while quarantine measures are lifted. The low case scenario assumes that spot sales (normally c 20% of the total) are not reactivated in 2020, and the high case scenario assumes they are reactivated in August 2020. We estimate a mid-case scenario of realised natural gas sales of 183mmscfd for the year, with sales in line with the last two weeks of May 2020 as reported by the company. Drilling operations have also resumed and the 2020 programme remains Canacol’s largest ever, despite a slimmed down programme from 12 to nine wells and lower capex for the year of US$108m. The company recently announced that it is maintaining its quarterly dividend of C$0.052/share. Our 2P + risked exploration NAV has decreased by 7% to C$6.55/share, reflecting the impact of lower gas sales demand in Colombia due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Canacol Energy is engaged in core petroleum and natural gas exploration and development activities in Colombia, Brazil and Guyana.
