THE TD COWEN INSIGHT
March 21, 2025 Price: C$0.67 (03/19/2025)
Price Target: C$1.50
BUY (1)
Production is ramping as expected, while cash cost improvements were encouraging. We forecast Logan will be the fastest growing E&P under coverage. The company is one of the few entities in the earlier-stage of growth/development that, with success, has the potential to create significant value for shareholders. Ultimately, Logan will be feedstock for a larger consolidator.
Event: Q4/24 results, 2024 reserves, an operations update and unchanged 2025 guidance.
Impact: SLIGHTLY POSITIVE
Q4 Highlights: Q4 CFPS of $0.03/shr was in line with TD Cowen ($0.03) and Consensus ($0.03). Although headline CFPS appears in line, total cash flow was above our forecast (+15%) on lower-than-expected cash costs across the board. Volumes of 9.5 mBOE/d were in line with TD Cowen (9.5 mBOE/d) and Consensus (9.5 mBOE/d).
2024 Reserves: Reserves increased significantly across all categories, and were further boosted by acquisitions during the year. PDP increased 48%, 1P by 45%, and 2P by 42%. On an organic basis, 2P reserves increased 25% y/y, replacing 730% of 2024 volumes.
Our View: The reserve book remains conservative and does not reflect significant potential upside on Logan's Montney and Duvernay assets. At YE24, only 101 net locations are booked in the Montney (15% of total identified net inventory of 654) and only 3 Duvernay wells were booked (2% of total identified net inventory of 154). FDC only equates to 5.7 years of 2025E capex, versus the Montney average of ~10 years.
Organic efficiency metrics were not provided; however, the company added total PDP/2P reserves at a cost of $27.08 and 16.99/BOE, respectively.
Operations Update: 2025 guidance was reiterated (aside from $6mm of capital that was not spent in Q4 moving into early 2025). 2025 volume guidance remains 13.7 mBOE/d with the new gas plant at Pouce still tracking to be online by Q2/25 - brining total capacity up to 10 mBOE/d in the area.
What we are Looking For In the Near-Term: While we didn't get any new well rates in the latest release, there are several key pads/wells in the 2025 program:
Simonette (on prod'n this month): Two pads (four wells) at S. Simonette and a two-well pad at N. Simonette. Four of these wells were recently brought on-stream with early results above or in-line with LGN's type curve. Two additional wells will be on-stream by the end of March.
Pouce (on prod'n in Q3): Two new pads (nine wells) post start-up of the 4-19 gas plant;
Ante Creek Duvernay (on prod'n Summer 2025): First Duvernay well in the area; and
Flatrock (on prod'n in Q4): Two wells.
