Outlook: A new beginning

Post the successful consolidation of Petrobank in May 2014, a renewed Touchstone is now moving forward with a C$28m, 21-well recompletion and infill drilling programme in Trinidad, which we expect will be financed by cash from operations, as well as from cash available from Petrobank, post consolidation. In line with guidance, we are also modelling a 30-well, C$29m capex spend in 2015, with the proposed 2015 drilling programme increasing our forecast oil production to over 3.0mb/d, and in turn generating sufficient cash flow to cover capex and potentially partially pay down old Touchstone outstanding debt. Currently trading below our core NAV of C$1.34/share, we find value in the story, should drilling and production targets be met.
