RE: RE: JV with SorgeniaRaymond James on farmout agreement:
Farm-out Potential
Porto’s management also provided us with some details on an ongoing farm-out
process. Specifically, the company’s aim is to enter into a joint venture on areas other
than the abovementioned, where a partner could help speed up the activity without
requiring Porto to dedicate material resources to these areas. It is our understanding
that Porto aims to farm out ~50% of its interests in some areas, including the large gas
play area. The company indicated that over 35 candidates are actively evaluating this
process, with the majority interested in both onshore as well as offshore land positions
from Porto’s current portfolio.
While we don’t currently assign any value to the company’s land beyond a 2-year
activity window (given our view of the current markets’ risk aversion), we believe a
farm-out of any of these lands would be viewed as very positive by the markets.
