AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ Condor Energies (CDR CN)C; Target price of C$5.80 per share: Another positive operating update – The work-overs of two new existing wells have added 441 boe/d after a combined 20 m of previously unperforated reservoir pay was accessed. The first well is producing 410 boe/d. It was previously shut-in. The second well is producing an extra 31 boe/d (+65%) and continues to clean-up. With a total cost of 100 wells on Condor’s fields includ...
• While the new fiscal regime for UK upstream oil and gas in yesterday’s UK budget incorporates a 3% increase in EPL (to 38%) and the elimination of the 29% investment uplift allowance for EPL purposes, this is a better outcome than feared. • While these changes were expected, the industry and investors had been concerned by the possibility that capex investment might not be fully deductible for EPL purposes. That risk has now been removed. • In addition, the 62.5% investment uplift allowance f...
• Production at the Triton FPSO has been interrupted due to potential dry gas seal failure at the A gas compressor. The vulnerability of Triton to an issue with the single compressor was flagged previously, and improving the robustness of production was highlighted by Serica’s new CEO as a priority. The second compressor would have reduced the operational vulnerability of the FPSO but it has not yet been repaired. This second compressor is now expected to be brought back in service in 1Q25 inste...
• The B6 well on the Bittern field is now in production at a stable gross rate of ~8 mboe/d. Net to Serica, this represents ~5.2 mboe/d. This is well above our expectations of ~3 mboe/d (net). • This result showcases the quality of the subsurface team at Serica, something emphasised by the CEO at the HY results, as the well was drilled horizontally in a thin 245 m long reservoir section just above the oil-water contact. • Overall production is now above 50 mboe/d. Given a slow ramp-up following ...
AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ Chariot (CHAR LN)C; Target price £0.40 per share: Anchois-3 encounters gas in the appraisal targets but one of the exploration target is dry – The Anchois-3 well has 3 objectives. While the initial pilot hole encountered the targeted reservoirs at the Anchois Footwall prospect, they were interpreted as water wet. Our ReNAV for this prospect was £0.03/sh. The well was sidetracked in the B sands which are the main appraisal targets. Prel...
• 1H24 production was 43.7 mboe/d, which is in line with our expectations. Net cash of ~US$143 mm at the end of June was also near our forecasts. • The FY24 production is expected to be towards the bottom end of the guidance of 41-46 mboe/d, mostly due to more downtime than expected at the Triton hub. The summer maintenance lasted >61 days instead of scheduled 40 days. • With further visibility on the UK fiscal regime expected at the end of October, the key takeaway from the announcement is Seri...

• As expected, the rate of the Energy Profits Levy (EPL) will increase from 35% to 38% and the 29% investment allowance introduced with the EPL will be removed. The changes will be effective from 01 November 2024 and run until 31 March 2030. • The government has also signalled that capital allowances (including first year allowances) in relation to the EPL will be reduced, but has said that the extent of this will be established after consultation with stakeholders and published in the 30 Octobe...

• 2023 production to date was 43,781 boe/d. very close to our expectations of 44.3 mboe/d. • Production in June at the Bruce Hub of 25,771 boe/d was particularly strong following the recent Light Well Intervention Vessel campaign. This partially offsets the low production in May at the Triton Hub following a trip of a compressor that shut down production for three weeks (the production at Triton has been restored since then). • A 90 day well intervention campaign at Bruce from mid-July is like...
