AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ ADX Energy (ADX AU)C; Target price of A$0.060 per share: Better reservoir performance than expected at Anshof - The Anshof-3 well has flowed at a maximum rate of 132 bbl/d (light oil and no water) from the Eocene reservoir. This is well above the flow rate of ~75 bbl/d announced two weeks ago and initial expectations of 40 80 bbl/d. Downhole pressure data recorded during the test also indicates better than expected reservoir flow perfo

Importantly the C7 sand (the primary target) was encountered 10’ higher than expected and 25’ higher than in the RCE-1 well. Overall 30’ of pay was encountered in the C7 sand. This suggests larger volumes than expected. The well als

With ~A$16 mm capex in 1Q22, a “maxed-out” debt facility and covenant restrictions, the additional equity funding will allow Calima to sustain its capex programme and secure equipment ahead of the spring break-up period rather than

The secondary Cenomanian oil zone is not likely to be productive at this location due to low permeability (this is not a surprise). The Eocene net reservoir thickness at Anshof-3 locati

AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ Imperial Helium (IHC CN)C: Smaller resources but good well test results could suggest a commercial development – At the IHC-Steveville-2 well, a 12 metre zone was tested at a rate of ~2 mmcf/d. This zone is an interval equivalent to the blow-out zone in the offsetting 13-22 well. While the headline flow rate might appear low, it is in reality a good result that suggests that the well can be brought into production at 5-6 mmcf/d at leas

This represents a small increase compared to ~15.4 mbbl/d, announced two weeks ago.

SHORE CAPITAL - SAVANNAH ENERGY+ (SAVE, 40p, Under Review) – FY21 results; completion of Chad-Cameroon entry expected in Q3

Exceptional transformation… and it may be just a beginning

With several opportunistic but timely acquisitions in 2021, coupled with the recent surge in the oil price, Zenith Energy has, in our view, completely transformed itself and its value proposition to investors. While for various reasons it has not been easy for the market to fully recognise and reward this transformation, we expect 1) doubling production, 2) further strengthening of its balance sheet and 3) becoming Free Cash Flow (FCF) generative this year, will make it difficult for the market
