RE: RE: Total RELIEF
RE: RE: Total RELIEF f77; In reply to your question ( made elsewhere ) on the value of TLM's participation payment. My point is ( and has been for very many months ) that the participation payment from TLM is an extremely basic valuation of WZR. You are right when making the simple calculation that the additional $280m costs are worth 70 cents per WZR share at a 400m share count. But, TLM have already spent $220 m with the KRG for Blocks 44 ( pre-Kurdamir/Garmian split ) and K39 ( Topkhana ) and K9 ( Baranan ) and so the $280m payment is in addition to their original PSC entry. TLM will therefore spend approx. $450m ( total $500m and take away $50m for Baranan ) to participate in Kurdamir and Block 39 ( Topkhana ) if they continue. That is BEFORE they drill more wells and before they make money. If this is correct then the following amplifies matters;
Given that at a guess that the Kurdamir block has 60% of the combined K-TK field and Topkhana 40%; TLM's interest totals 40% of 60% ( K ) and 60% of 40% (TK ) giving 48% ( 24%+24% ) of the combined mega-field. If they continue they will have spent around $450m to participate in K-TK. Taking this as a metric then WZR with 40% of 60% of K-TK ( half of TLM's total ) values them at around $225m or 56 cents ( 225/400 ) per share.
This is based on TLM's participation COSTS for K-TK field. The comfort to WZR LT investors is that TLM may soon place a 'guaranteed' value on WZR's Kurdamir alone of around C
.6 per share and this would imply ( IMO ) a base value of C
.90 per share on WZR if Garmian were added. There are very few E&P juniors that would be able to display such a virtually copper-bottomed downside limit. A further observation is that TLM's management are very 'risk astute' and would not commit $450m in the current environment to make a few $$. The upside for WZR investors if TLM decide to continue with Kurdamir is IMO very considerable as it will have been backed by the deep professional judgement of a 'minor-Major'.
