Renergen - On track for liquid production by mid-2021

Renergen had a strong H219 as it secured final funding for Phase 1 of its Virginia Gas Project. The project is now firmly in the development phase, major equipment orders have been placed and first liquid production of both LNG and helium is expected to start around July 2021 – with the latter a first for sub-Saharan Africa. Our updated risked NAV of ZAR23.9/share suggests considerable upside potential to the current share price. However, economics and upside could be further enhanced if a directional well currently being drilled into an untested sandstone group at Virginia proves successful. Renergen has already announced preliminary results for the well, which indicate substantially better gas flows than expected, and most critically helium concentration of 12% (compared with 2–3% in its previous wells).
