Silvermere Energy Plc (SLME)     

Bob Heston - 17 Dec 2011 14:42

Silvermere Energy Plc - SLME
USA Oil and Gas Producer

Shares In Issue - 20.7 million


Production About to Start in Gulf of Mexico


Silvermere began life on the July 14 2011 when Chalkwell Investments was renamed, and had its sights trained on the oil and gas sector after the acquisition of its current interest in the Mustang Island 818-L field in the Gulf of Mexico, Kleberg County, Texas. Silvermere has a 33.3 per cent WI and 20.83 per cent NRI in the Mustang assets, except for the I-1 well where it has a 33.3 per cent WI and 16.65 per cent NRI. The I-1 is a re-entry well that was completed and will be tied into production by the end of 2011. Testing of the well flowed at up to 2 mmscfpd, but Silvermere expects 3-4 mmscfpd and 84-160 bopd once the well is stabilised, cleaned up and has an initial 45-60 day production period under its belt. Should production fall short of expectations, additional zones can be perforated to increase output to more acceptable levels.

An independent evaluation of 3D seismic and well bore data by RPS Energy estimated total net (to Silvermere) reserves of 4.73 Bcfe in the 1P category, 11.53 Bcfe in the 2P category and 30.38 Bcfe in the 3P category. The high amount of Possible (3P) Reserves is due to the fact that RPS were unable to attribute their production to individual sands, and thus Silvermere is confident that once production commences, these reserves will be capable of being upgraded into a higher category. Indeed, the intention is to get RPS back post production to re-analyse I-1, rather than waiting for the drilling of the 3 new wells to improve the reserve profile.

Mustang Island Figures net to Silvermere:

Proven reserves (1P)...........4.73 Bscf - value - $4.49m / �2.84m* or 15.5p/share
Probable reserves (2P).........11.53 Bscf - value - �24.87m / �15.73m* or 85.7p/share
Proven and Probable (1P+2P)...16.26 Bscf - value - $29.36m / �18.58m* or 101.2p/share
Possible reserves (3P).........30.38 Bscf - value - $94.36m / �59.67m* or 325p/share
Total Potential Reserves................�78.25m or �426p* per share

*Based on Exchange Rate of 1 GBP = 1.58007 USD





The I-5 sands are the initial production horizon estimated at hosting 19.5 feet of net pay, while the G-3 sands are for the medium-term where there is also the potential to upgrade and enlarge current reserves. Three new wells (in addition to I-1) are expected to be drilled over the next 2 years, with the first pencilled in for the 2nd quarter of 2012. The 3 wells will test the structural highs of 3 fault blocks identified from historical 2D seismic run by Samedan Oil Corp in the 1980s. Silvermere�s share of these drilling and associated costs is US$8 million, the funds for which will need to be found, but given the company has US$5.8 million in existing warrants outstanding, as well as a range of other financing methods at its disposal (farm-in, debt, equity), CEO Andy Morrison does not foresee any issues.

Confidence in such claims is no doubt founded on its recent fund raising history, where the company raised �1.52 million through the issue of equity at 25p in August and �750,000 in convertible loan notes issued in June. The former was used for tie-back costs (�600,000), working capital (�400,000) and RPS�s CPR, due diligence and Silvermere�s re-admission to AIM having been suspended since January (�500,000). Mustang Island was acquired from convertible loan note issue.

Silvermere�s strategy is to acquire US onshore and shallow offshore oil and gas assets which are value for money, near production and capable of having their resources easily upgraded. To this end the company expects Mustang Island to develop into its cornerstone asset, throwing off sufficient cash flows to enable it to acquire and develop other assets without diluting shareholder capital unduly. Due to the ongoing financial crisis in the US, there is a significant shortage of capital for small development projects in that country, meaning there are tremendous opportunities to acquire quality assets at low prices. These circumstances have Silvermere rubbing its hands, and the company is already looking to acquire material, but minority interests in assets meeting its criteria, as it looks beyond Mustang Island. Working alongside the operator appeals to Silvermere at the moment, not only due to the fact that its skill set is financial, administrative and managerial, but it also allows the company to remain lean and flexible.

GECR REPORT FROM DECEMBER 2011

Silvermere Energy* – Speculative Buy at 18.5p with a 60p target price

http://sharecrazy.com/beta/Tips/6337/silvermere-energy-speculative-buy-at-185p

Silvermere Energy is a US focused oil and gas development and production company which is on schedule for its first oil production by the end of December 2011. On 6th December 2011, the Company was able to report that preparations for production from the I-1 well on its Mustang Island asset by the operator, Dominion Production Company LLC, are proceeding to plan with the platform construction now in its final stages with load-out operations about to begin in Galveston. The completion of the load-out operations (expected by 13th December) is to be followed by work to lay the remaining 1,250 feet of connecting pipeline.

At the time, Andy Morrison, Chief Executive, commented that, “We are excited about the progress of the project and the approach of production, and we are working closely with the Operator to minimize any delays. Assuming reasonable co-operation from the weather, our objective of production before the end of the year is achievable.”

Investors are witnessing the birth of a US energy business. The corporate strategy is to acquire and develop a portfolio of low risk, near production oil and gas assets onshore and shallow offshore in the US. Silvermere is not one of those drill or bust casino AIM stocks but more of a US style P&L–focused oil and gas producer, which seems more to suit the mood of the times.

The firm is an obvious value play in the oil and gas sector. The Competent Person’s Report (CPR) on the Mustang assets published by RPS Energy in August 2011 valued the proven and probable reserves attributable to the Company at £18.4 million with a further £59 million of upside in the possible reserves. The CPR study assumed that three wells would be drilled one after another, whereas in all likelihood these will eventually be drilled over the space of the next two years. Our analysis takes these two variations into consideration in calculating a Net Present Value of $24.8 million or £15.7 million for Mustang Island. Our target price of 60p is calculated on a fully diluted basis.

We therefore recommend the shares as a Speculative Buy with a 60p target price.

The point is, would I buy them now? Answer, no.


By the time they get to 1.4p anything could have happened, all of it bad if the SP goes that low, so no, I wouldn't buy then either.

Bob Heston - 20 Dec 2011 19:00 - 35 of 69

Thanks for that, i think you just gave away your motives! in my experience someone
that posts on shares they dont own have an agenda that is dubious and should be given a wide berth, Some other on here say your a shorter that is part of a ring but i will reserve judgement on that. By the way can you tell of any shares you do own ?
so i can give my verdict on them !!!

ptholden - 20 Dec 2011 19:09 - 36 of 69

My oh my Bob aren't you a clever chap. Erm, not.

Sorry your pump and dump has gone slightly awry, better luck next time. No doubt the rest of your mob will now appear to join in with your dubious assessment!

Incidentally, my motive in posting was to provide some information that might be useful to other readers, nothing more, nothing less.

Do I care what you think? Not one tiny little iota, and that's a very small amount.

Keep taking the happy pills :-)

Bob Heston - 20 Dec 2011 19:24 - 37 of 69

ptholden, i would never dream of making comments on a company i was not invested
in ,not least because its unethical and totally pointless,and for your information i am
still 37.4% up on silvermere despite todays falls.

I am putting you on ignore !

ptholden - 20 Dec 2011 19:40 - 38 of 69

There's me thinking the whole point of a forum was to exchange views, share information and even enter into the odd debate every now and again. Now it transpires you have to be a holder to enter into the spirit of things. Oh well, I'll buy a single share, will that fit your very strange view of this media?

Crack on with the ignore business, like many before you, you won't be able to resist peaking, but in your case you'll use one of your other aliases :-)

Bob Heston - 20 Dec 2011 20:06 - 39 of 69

ptholden, not at all, i just think its strange for someone to post negative comments
on a forum on a share they dont own and then verbally abuse other posters.
With all due respect can you see why i see you as dubious ??

Jackson55 - 20 Dec 2011 20:11 - 40 of 69

pt holden,

I must admit your behaviour here looks a little strange mate

Jackson55 - 20 Dec 2011 20:13 - 41 of 69

bob,

Not good news today but could be worse! still going to be a cracker this one
come march/april :-)

ptholden - 20 Dec 2011 21:04 - 42 of 69

Mr Bob, thought I was on the ignore list?
Verbally abuse other posters? Moi? Who? You?

Bob Heston - 20 Dec 2011 22:09 - 43 of 69

Variation of terms of Warrant Undertaking

Further to the operational update announcement on 20 December 2011, Silvermere, the independent oil and gas company, focusing principally on exploration, appraisal and production opportunities in the US, announces that it has agreed a variation of the terms of the warrant undertaking entered into with the Company at the time of admission by T1ps Investment Management Limited ("T1ps"). T1ps is the discretionary fund manager of SF T1ps Smaller Companies Growth Fund and Elite T1ps Income & Growth Fund. SF T1ps Smaller Companies Growth Fund and Elite T1ps Income & Growth Fund own 11.9 per cent and 7.23 per cent, respectively, of the issued share capital of Silvermere.

Under the terms of the warrant undertaking, the Company was due to give the second notice by 22 December 2011 under which T1ps would exercise 333,333 placing warrants at a price of 30 pence to provide GBP100,000 of additional working capital for the Company during the installation phase for the I-1 Well on its Mustang Island asset located in Kleberg County, Texas waters in the Gulf of Mexico.

As a result of the delay in production plans, the Company does not expect to require the funds immediately. T1ps has requested and the Company has agreed that the latest date for the second notice to be given under the warrant undertaking will be extended from 22 December 2011 to 22 March 2012. The Company expects to exercise the second notice in the first half of March 2012 in line with the new installation and production timetable.

Due to the size of the shareholding of SF T1ps Smaller Companies Growth Fund, the variation of the terms of the warrant undertaking constitutes a related party transaction as defined by the AIM Rules. The directors of the Company, having consulted with Merchant Securities Limited, the Company's nominated adviser, consider that the variation of the terms of the warrant undertaking is fair and reasonable insofar as Shareholders are concerned.

We are in play at last ! after having recent conversation with the Ceo he appears
very confident of the I-1 well exceeding expectations. And more to come.

Operations Update



Silvermere, the independent oil and gas company focusing principally on appraisal and production opportunities in the US, is pleased to provide the following update on preparations for production from the I-1 well in its Mustang Island 818-L Field. This is based on information provided by the Operator, Dominion Production Company LLC.



Load out of the platform, tripod and pilings commenced on Monday 9th April, 2012. The load out phase involves the tripod, platform and associated equipment being loaded and "tied down" onto the barges which are currently on location at Laredo's yard in Galveston. Once loaded, the barges will be towed by tugs to the designated well location.



The installation is a 3 phase programme. First, the tripod base structure is installed. This operation is conducted by pile driving large metal supports through the legs of the tripod into the seabed to ensure the stability of the structure. The pilings will be driven to 180' below the mud line or to the point of refusal.



Phase 2 involves the main deck structure being raised by crane barge and lowered onto the tripod and welded in place.



Phase 3 is the pipeline hook up.



Operations are under the control of Laredo Construction, Inc. under a turnkey installation contract. As such, Laredo will monitor the weather and determine when the conditions are conducive to safe operations. Although we are now into April, the weather remains a factor, particularly for Phase I of the programme and operations may be affected.



The facility has been designed to allow for the production from 3 future wells and we view the installation of this platform as a major milestone in the development of the reserves in the Mustang Island 818 Leases.



Further updates will be provided as the installation programme continues.

Jackson55 - 16 Apr 2012 12:04 - 51 of 69

I would not wait too long aldwickk its creeping up again and the buys not
started yet,they have a good shot at moving the reserves at I-1 into P2
and that could be £1 per share upwards.Have a good feel on this.

aldwickk - 16 Apr 2012 13:45 - 52 of 69

Tri Star Resources are a better bet , and they have a RNS coming out soon.
