Falklands Oil & Gas (HOLD, 100p) (FOGL LN, 67.25p, ▼ 0.00%) - Gas, Gas Everywhere…: While we are told that there are strong gas shows C1 to C5, we are not told the proportion of the overall sample that this constitutes, and hence it is not possible to postulate as to the nature of the stream. However, on the basis of BOR's Darwin results, it suggests that it is quite high, which means that will be disappointing for investors.
There is a silver lining, however, for both FOGL and BOR. If the gas find is significant, and given the "relative" proximity of the fields, there could be a possibility of pooling the processing facilities, if only the Falklands Island Government would allow processing on the mainland. Certainly the extent of the gas would make it a worthwhile venture, as overnight it would make the gas finds more likely to be valorised. Ultimately, on the upside we believe that there is likely to be more liquids in this accumulation, but as with BOR' gas condensate find, the volumes of gas that would have to be processed to process a liquids stream at commercial rates, even if it is re-injected, means that a commercial development is by no means a certainty.
The Company is well funded, still has a lot to go for in the basin, and given the success with the drillbit, we believe that the risk profile has reduced somewhat. Scotia is next, the ~1bn bbl prospect, so there is still at least one more well. Given that this is further out of the basin, the chances for intersecting a more liquids prone accumulation is higher, as liquids are the first to be driven out of the source rock and theoretically travel further through the reservoir sandstones, albeit slower.
On the back of this news, and ahead of the liquids sample results, we are reiterating current 100p Target Price, as the fact that it is gas is offset by the potential scale of the discovery, and HOLD recommendation.
