Faroe Petroleum - Agar/Plantain discovery

Faroe Petroleum has announced the results of the Agar/Plantain exploration/appraisal well in licence P1763 (Faroe has a 25% interest in Agar/Plantain and 12.5% in the wider licence). The well encountered 20m of gross hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir with high net to gross ratio. Operator Azinor Catalyst estimates gross recoverable resources at 15–50mmboe, a volume expected to be commercial given available infrastructure. Assuming the partial de-risking of Agar/Plantain at mid-case 32.5mmboe (down from our pre-drill estimate of 79mmboe) to a 70% chance of commercial success would leave our RENAV broadly unchanged, but provides validation of our approach of including risked value for Faroe’s exploration programme, which made up 32.6p/share of our 185.2p/share RENAV in our recent initiation.
