Following the recent sharp oil price drop to ~USD70/bbl, we see increased investor concerns about the robustness of shareholder distributions. Historically, disappointments related to dividends and/or buybacks have triggered meaningful negative share-price reactions. For our large-cap NCS coverage, we believe oil prices would have to move below USD60/bbl for any negative surprises to unfold for Aker BP and Equinor, as both have strong balance sheets, enabling dividend flexibility. On the other h...

• The North Flank prospect at Anchois-3 is water wet (ReNAV: £0.03/sh), This has a negative impact on Anchois South (ReNAV: £0.07/sh). • The B sands that were the main appraisal targets were thinner than expected and the deeper C & M sands were water wet, however these were drilled down-dip from the Anchois-2 well where the sands were found gas-bearing. The B sands will not be tested and the main hole will be plugged an abandoned. This has a negative impact on the size of the contingent resource...
This week, we published an update on DNO, seeing significant value potential from its Norwegian portfolio. As one of the most successful NCS exploration companies in recent years, the company has discovered net resources of ~135mmboe. In other news, we upgraded Aker BP to BUY (HOLD), viewing its recent underperformance as an attractive entry point. Also, a gas market update with Equinor left us slightly more bullish with regards to the near- and long-term gas market outlook.

Based on the steeply strengthening futures curve for natural prices (see Summary sheet), we believe that Southern Energy’s period of capital discipline will evolve into a period of growth as rising natural gas prices encourage organic growth via drilling.

This week, we updated our oil and gas price assumptions. We see a softer oil market balance than before and have lowered our oil price assumptions. For gas, we have raised our assumptions based on increased geopolitical risks. Accordingly, we have updated our company estimates. Despite outperforming Equinor and Aker BP by ~25% YTD, we have kept Vår Energi as our top sector pick.
