RE:20 TCF = $12/share (at $0.15 USD per BOE best estimate RA)Bigreturn11,
Thank you for providing this history, but your can not compare those companies.
Although the mean gross prospective resources were 2.2 B boe, Verenex was only a partner at 50%, and under the licence agreement the consortium was only alocated 13.7% of the production, although they had to pay 50% of the development costs,and even then, this was to be reduced after exploration costs would have been recuperated.
$12/Share for 20 TCF is a joke. I estimate future potential profits on 20TCT plus condensates in in the order of 100 Billions, do you really believe Valeura would sell that for $1 Billion ?
