Touchstone Exploration+ (TXP, House Stock at 58p) - US$7m revolving loan facility

Jersey Oil and Gas (JOG LN) - Full year 2022 results

JOG has released its full year 2022 results. These report a net cash holding of £6.6m which, alongside upcoming payments under the GBA farm out deal with NEO Energy, gives JOG a very strong funding base. The statement also reiterates the company’s focus on progressing its GBA project, including approval and closure of the farm out, progression of the Buchan development plan, likely a second farm out, and then FID in H1 2024. We expect this to represent a series of catalysts over the coming month

Despite the challenging commodity price environment, Diversified has announced a strong set of Q1/23 results. Cash margins and annualised free cash flow yield increased to c54% and c37% respectively, as a result of lower per-unit expenses and the Company's robust hedging portfolio.

The time has come!

In the next six months, Aminex (AEX) will embark on a development programme that will see the company become a producer and free cash flow (FCF) generator. Between drilling the new Chikumbi-1 well (CH-1), re-entering the existing two wells, processing of the new 3D seismic, signing a GSA, and reaching first gas, there will be plenty of milestones in 2023 to, in our view, gradually “guide” the market towards recognising a full value for the targeted initial 60mmscf/d gross production in late 2023

This has contributed to the revival of exploration activities in the US, Europe and to a lesser degree the UK. For example, the global identified lithium resources increased from 40m tonnes in 2015 (the Paris Agreement year) to 97m tonnes in 2023, at a CAGR of 12%, according to the U.S. Geological Survey data. For example, there was no identified lithium resources

Reserves at Shell: Shooting itself in the foot?

Hangover from the noughties debacle still seems to weigh Is Shell''s seeming conservatism on SEC reserves accounting effectively shooting itself in the foot? After two weeks of talking with investors, several of whom expressed concern that Shell''s lowly reserves life would require it to spend beyond guidance to sustain its hydrocarbon business, our impression is, most likely, yes. Push into the details and time and time again, all too apparent in our view is that when it comes to reserves accou
