Gear has put forth a $10 mm capital budget for 1H19e with the majority (~70%) of spending directed towards drilling 2x 2-mile long light oil Torquay wells at its newly acquired Tableland property in SE Saskatchewan.
Companies: Gear Energy Ltd.
Gear has announced the acquisition of Steppe Resources including 1,175 boe/d (99% light oil) of production in SE Saskatchewan and a light oil inventory of 100 locations for total consideration of $70.4 mm including $40.9 mm of net debt and $29.6 mm in Gear equity (~21.9 mm shares, based on a 0.1445 exchange ratio and a $1.35/sh Gear price). The transaction is expected to close in 3Q18e.
Gear has revised its 2018e guidance to 7,350 boe/d on lower E&D capital investment of $50 mm, from 7,500 boe/d at $58 mm prior, principally deferring heavy oil growth initiatives within the context of wide differentials observed YTD on pipeline apportionments and relative lack of locomotive based egress. This should not be a surprise having previously alluded to this potentiality in our last Comment dated February 22, 2018.
Gear has provided an outlook to 2018e, characterized by $58 mm of capital investment to generate production of 7,500 boe/d, importantly projecting an ~8,400 boe/d notional 2018e exit rate which is +15% production per debt-adjusted diluted share (PPS DDA) on the current strip today.
Corporate production levels reported to date for 3Q16e are consistent with our current estimate of ~5,460 boe/d. Capital cost reductions have made room for 2x additional heavy oil wells to be drilled before the end of the year and within the Company’s prior $12.5 mm budget. Gear remains on track to achieve its previously discussed exit target of 6,400 boe/d in December. Given no material changes to our near term outlook, we are maintaining our 12-month target price of $1.00 per share alongside an Outperform recommendation.
Impact: Positive. Outperformance and capital cost reductions at Gear's Wildmere and Paradise Hill properties will see the Company add 2x wells to its 2016e development program without increasing its 2016e budget, while remaining on track to achieve its prior exit rate of 6,400 boe/d.
Gear reported second quarter financial and operating results that were ahead of expectations. The Company reiterates its intent to reinitiate drilling activities this summer with no changes to its guidance. There are no material changes to our 2017e forecast on receipt of its report, and as such our $1.00/sh 12-month target price and Outperform ranking are unchanged.
Some Recovery on Segmented Cash Flow Generation Over Q1 Though Still Down 56% Y/Y. In aggregate, the Intermediate, Mid, and Small Cap groups are expected to generate 2Q16e cash flow of $1,281 mm, $183 mm, and $53 mm, or $1.517 billion in total, that while depressed relative to the same period last year (~$2.647 billion combined), is up 17% sequentially from the prior quarter, largely on the strength of crude oil price recovery in the period. Severely weak natural gas pricing picture markedly reversed into summer, market likely to ignore financials for natural gas producers and look ahead to winter and formalization of sell-side 2018e estimates in coming months. Spot AECO natural gas prices recently crested C$2.60/mcf, and with a reasonable alignment of previously distressed NE BC Stn2 differentials, augmented by a withdrawal expected next week, view the market psyche as constructive and looking ahead, with the analogy that this market is shaping up to mirror 2012 still holding. That said, with crude oil poised to retest support levels, combined with strong stock price performance broadly observed YTD, we would characterize sentiment as slightly pessimistic in the near-term which could reduce or unwind momentum-based investment strategies that have worked thus far in 2016.

We are providing a revised forecast subsequent to a research restriction period following Gear’s $20.1 mm equity financing, issuing ~28.8 mm shares at $0.70/ sh concurrent with its announcement of its intent to acquire Striker Exploration Ltd., a smaller public corporate entity with assets in central Alberta, via a plan of arrangement that we value at ~$67 mm. Citing a markedly improved financial position, a compelling valuation and the resumption of its E&D efforts in 2H16e, we are increasing our 12-month target price to $1.00/sh and reinstating an Outperform ranking.

Impact: Neutral as the capital program and 2016e guidance is in line with our prior estimates.
There were no surprises within Gear’s fourth quarter financial and operations disclosures with production and cash flow markers in line with our estimates. Production was pre-released in early February concurrent with the Company’s 2016 guidance. Year-end 2015 reserves were down year-over-year as additions were more than offset by negative technical and economic revisions. An important aspect of this is that the majority of economic factor revisions were an outcome of discretionary shut-ins by Gear in a trough of the price cycle. We’ve made no changes to our 2016 and 2017 estimates. Our updated NAV continues to justify our target price of $0.45 per share.

UK railway privatisation, which was launched in the mid-1990s, has finally turned full circle: the Department of Transport has recently confirmed that its controversial railway franchise system will be scrapped. In this month's feature article, Nigel Hawkins, the Infrastructure analyst at Hardman & Co, examines the 25-year history of railway privatisation and chronicles its ups and its downs. The successes of railway privatisation, such as new rolling stock, are addressed, along with the many shortcomings, which included minimal vertical integration. With the winding up of the franchise system, the UK railway sector is effectively reverting to its former status as a nationalised industry, a shift started with the renationalisation of the collapsed Railtrack – later re-badged as Network Rail – in 2001.

Pantheon Resources has this morning announced that the better than expected well-logs from the Kuparuk formation warranted a change in plan for the testing of that formation, namely, from an open hole test to a more rigorous cased hole test (with a 4 ½ inch liner). However, due to equipment failures and technical issues, the formation started to become damaged in its current location and as such it was not possible to set the casing string (4 ½ inch liner). Accordingly, the company has made the decision to drill a new modestly angled sidetrack in the Kuparuk formation. It is estimated that the sidetrack will take 2-3 days to drill, some 650 feet through the Kuparuk formation, which should then allow a better testing operation. As a result of the cold weather in Alaska, the drilling season may be extended into early April.

i3 Energy has provided an interim update the highlights of which are: • Production is exceeding expectations with lower declines than modelled resulting in stable production from November 2020 to January 2021 averaging 9,150 boe/d (41% liquids) – about 1,000 boe/d greater than expected by the forecasts of the company's competent persons' reports at the time of its relisting. • Based on the futures curves for oil & gas, the company anticipates net operating income for 2021 (revenue minus royalties, operating costs, transportation and processing) of approximately CAD $35m (US $27.6m). • Maintenance capital expenditure guidance in conjunction with the net operating income amounts to CAD$3m. • i3 Energy completed an 80 hour flow-test on a horizontal Falher well located on its Noel acreage in Northeast British Columbia. The flow test ran for a sustained period at 4,200 mcf/d (700 boe/d) on a 1/4” choke. The well is expected to be brought on production at approximately 500 boepd during the second quarter of 2021, following tie-in. This well was not included in the company's 2P reserve estimates. The result represents a materially value enhancing development. Both the net income guidance and maintenance capital guidance excludes the potential contribution of the Noel acreage. • The Company continues to progress the legal process to allow it to declare a dividend in Q1 2021. As previously disclosed, the Company aims to distribute up to 30% of free cash flow as a dividend to shareholders. • The company indicated that discussions continue with a potential farm-in partner for the Serenity discovery and terms are being negotiated. The recent strengthening in commodity prices has reinvigorated activity within i3's virtual data room, and additional parties previously contacted during early 2020 have now re-engaged with the company. The company indicated that the market will be updated if and when an agreement is reached. (see Table 1 for asset scale/value estimates in relation to the company's North Sea assets).

Oil fell the most since November with a stronger dollar and concerns surrounding inflation weighing on crude's best start to the year on record. Futures in New York declined 3.2% on Friday, with a rising dollar reducing the appeal of commodities priced in the currency. Yet, the US crude benchmark still managed to post a nearly 18% gain this month as inventories worldwide tighten and pockets of demand return. Domestic crude production dropped in 2020 for the first time in four years, according to the US government. Crude prices have notched the largest year-to-date gain than in any year prior for the same time period, in part due to OPEC+ production curbs helping to deplete global stockpiles. Plus, the unprecedented cold blast that recently halted millions of barrels of US output means oil markets are about 100,000 barrels a day tighter than previously thought, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. Supply scarcity may worsen in the coming months as North Sea fields undergo major maintenance. The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies will meet next week to decide on output levels. While Russia has signalled it favours a further easing of production cuts, the country's oil output dipped below its OPEC+ target this month, meaning it failed to take full advantage of the more generous quota it was afforded after January's OPEC+ meeting. Prices: West Texas Intermediate for April delivery fell $2.03 to settle at $61.50 a barrel. The US crude benchmark rose 3.8% this week. Brent for April settlement, which expires on Friday, declined 75 cents to end the session at $66.13 a barrel. The contract gained 5.1% this week. The more actively traded May contract declined $1.69 to settle at $64.42 a barrel. Soaring bond yields on Thursday were the latest sign that accelerating inflation could trigger a pullback in monetary policy support that has helped fuel gains in risky assets during the pandemic. While global bonds have since stabilised, a less accommodative approach to monetary policy could have ripple effects across commodity markets.
