Tunisian farm out
Caren Crowley


Petroceltic has farmed out some 30% of its 57% interest in its Tunisian permit to PetroAsian Energy, a listed company in Hong Kong. The farm-out is in-line with assumptions used in our valuation of Petroceltic. Importantly, it kick-starts activity on the Tunisian Ksar Hadada licence.

In return for equity, PetroAsian Energy will pay Petroceltic's share of the costs of drilling and testing of two exploration wells and the acquisition and processing of 100km of 2D seismic data. The gross cost of the seismic acquisition and two-well programme is up to $14.5m. Seismic acquisition is expected to complete in 2009 while drilling is scheduled to commence in 2010, subject to rig availability.

Our risk-weighted valuation for Petroceltic's ultimate equity in the Tunisian licence is 3.2p per share. Unrisked, our valuation becomes 40p per share. Recent exploration success in neighbouring blocks in Tunisia and Libya are encouraging for the forthcoming exploration campaign on Petroceltic's Ksar Hadada licence.

Our risk-weighted group valuation remains some 24p per share, more than double the current share price.

Petroceltic : Buy Current Price (0.10) Price target (0.13) Analyst : David Dunk

Petroceltic has announced a farm-out of its Tunisian Ksar Hadada onshore oil & gas exploration permit. PetroAsian Energy Holdings, a listed company in Hong Kong, will receive a 29.93% stake in the licence from Petroceltic. Petroceltics stake in the licence drops from 57% to 27.03%, and will continue to act as operator. In return, PetroAsian is committing to the drilling of two new exploration wells, in addition to the acquisition and processing of 100km of 2D seismic data, at no cost to Petroceltic. Petroceltic values the capital commitment of these works at up to $14.5m. Petroceltics co-venture in the permit, Independent Resources, is similarly participating in the farm-out agreement, and is farming-out a 21.03% stake of the permit to PetroAsian. The news is positive for Petroceltic, as it allows for an earlier than expected drilling of the Tunisian licence, and at no cost to the company.

From another BB today. Sounds encouraging if true:

Everyone needs to stay calm lads. The well 1 is good and that is from a Sonatrach employee. Our contact with them is trying to find more details from their top management but nothing as yet. All we can say is we are still buying probably of the stop loss numpties but one mans loss is our gain. All of our earlier predictions are still good if not better as the Tunisia project has now been de-risked. Hang in and keep buying if you have the money. By the way between us we are holding>3million.8
