#ROSE quick update


#ROSE quick update

 Sorry for grammatical mistakes, my fingers are frozen, but I want to get this out.

Today’s RNS has been woefully misunderstand by the market, so I thought I would put up a quick Blog on the subject.

Bad news re Paradox but not totally unexpected. It would have been great to have utilised the paradox hole and this was always the plan for the company to meet its aim of production in H1. That the hole is not sufficiently usable is a pain.

The copper project, is a none issue in my opinion. ROSE is not a commodity explorer or miner and all of these assets should be offloaded over the coming 24 months.

Now on to the all important Mancos drill. This was a less than 50% COS and to be honest I want very hopefully that it would hit enough oil reserve to be economical vertically. For me it was all about the lateral drilling and I just wanted to see sufficient vertical pay zone to allow for that. There was always the chance (20% or so) that it would be economical vertically as a few holes are in that region.

I spent a great deal of time studying the Mancos and Paradox geology and existing drills over the summer. If we compare the findings from the hole to the existing high calibre/high producing drills in that area we get a similar arrange and size of pay zones to the Rose drill.

The BOD have clearly stated that they will be producing in H1 (I am hearing May), initial thoughts as mentioned above, are that this would be from Paradox, however given that Paradox is no, it must mean they know they will see production from Mancos. There isn’t time to drill a second hole, so this must be from the existing Mancos drill. There is no doubt that the hole has flowed.

So what are we looking at ? This is only my opinion but my estimate is that this hole is around 2000 bopd when laterally drilled and 250-300 bopd from the vertical.

I might be proven wrong, but this is the figure I get from similar Mancos drills. So will ROSE be producing 2000 bopd by end of H1 ? very possibly. With further drills likely an MCAP of £150-200m would be supported, given current oil prices.

Rose has suffered from the fall in oil price and rightly so, it could have been a total bust if the Mancos drill wasn’t so successful and could have fallen to .5 to .8p. It hasn’t and with the stabilisation of the oil price now is the time to buy into ROSE.

  1. excellent piece. happy to top up. for mcap around 150-200m, whats the sp we are looking at?

  2. Mcap of 200m would give a share price of around 0.13p.

    Broker targets have varied from .12p to £1.08p - all depends how many producing wells we have. With the huge Manos acreage I would expect 100's of wells.

  4. 12p broker target looks vunerable

  5. was it not the fincap target of 12p is "risked" target (ie without discovery of oil), if so, with the oil discovery, the target would be lots higher (Fincapp may revive up their price target once ROSE provides more details in the future/next month? another broker saying should we proven oil there, the target would be around £1 plus.
