Outlook: UK shale, beyond the planning stage in 2016

Egdon looks set to benefit from UK shale moving beyond the planning stage in 2016 as two well-funded, experienced UK operators, Cuadrilla and Third Energy, expect favourable planning decisions in the first quarter of 2016. With 140,000 acres in key shale sweet spots, Egdon’s strategy of non-operated exposure to UK shale looks set to benefit shareholders. The group’s conventional upstream business enters a busy period towards the end of 2015 with three exploration wells scheduled for drilling worth an estimated 78p/share (success case) to the company. We see the current share price as an opportunity, being within reach of our core NAV of 8.6p/share, with further upside to our RENAV of 29.6p/share.
