Gas reserve value to a major

Greetings, all,

As we know from previous posts and news releases, the Argentine government has announced a large price increase for delivered new gas production from major producers. As I recall it will be $7.50 US per GJ/mcf instead of the current price of around $2.75. In effect, that means the RPT gas reserves (P1 and P2 and up) are worth much more to a major than to RPT at this point in time. It is possible the price increase may be extended to junior companies, but given RPT is trying to pursue its strategic directions in the corporate update, a sale or trade with a major may well be possible. That means with good negotiation RPT should be able to capture some of the additional value of reserves in anything RPT gets back from a major partner.

2013 reserve estimates assumed $4.04 US. At $7.50 gas, the 2P reserves would baloon upwards to about $7 US per share. Contractual gas processing returns ( to 2018 )  boost the NAV by $0.21 per share each year, independent of their gas production. The share price is detached from reality at present. Value always emerges. It will here too..

Rock Can you explain your NAV of $.21 per share each year, independent of production.  Are you saying in 5 years NAV is around $1.00 per share? cheers

Thats easy. The gas processing plant nets us just over $5 million per year in free cash flow. That cash flow is unencumbered. If it were gas production, then we would have to invest a goodly portion of that into exploration and development capex. Not so with the cash flow from the gas processing plant which has a contract for processing fees for a 5 year period ( 2018 ). RPT's limited gas ...more
