Rockhopper was established in 2004 with a strategy to invest in and undertake an offshore oil exploration programme in the North Falkland Basin. It was floated on AIM in August 2005. Rockhopper was the first company to make a commercial oil discovery in the Falklands. Today Rockhopper is the largest acreage holder in the North Falkland Basin, with interests in the Greater Mediterranean region.

RKH Goldman: reiterated conviction buy, tp raised to 684 from 640
We regard the result as very positive news. The company has stated that contingent P90 volumes will go up significantly and that as a result, confidence in commerciality will also rise significantly. We concur with this assessment, estimating that 100 mn bls is sufficient to make the development comfortably commercial at US$100/bl assuming an FPSO development a threshold that we believe should be close to the revised P90 volumes following this result. To reflect this increased confidence in the commerciality of Sea Lion, we increase our assumed chances of success on the field from 60% to 70%; as a result, our 12-month target price rises to 684p (from 640p). We believe the stock is trading at almost a 30% discount to the risked value of Sea Lion (assuming a P50 volume of 205 mn bls) and cash net of appraisal costs alone, and believe there
is compelling additional potential from: (1) a potential extension of Sea Lion to the south from new seismic coverage; (2) a further de-risking of Sea Lion; and (3) additional exploration drilling in Rockhoppers substantial acreage around the Sea Lion discovery.
Valuation
Our SOTP-based 12-month price target is calculated using US$100/bl oil. We assume a 12% discount rate, higher than the 10% we normally use for OECD countries to reflect the higher political risk we assume in the Falklands.
Key risks
Failure in the future appraisal is the key risk, although we believe that todays result has removed some of this downside risk.
