Falcon Oil and Gas (FOLGF)

Based on global market reaction, don't expect to get rich overnight. A good read and interview from POQ below puts it all in perspective. We may not pop, but other than impatience, i can't think of a reason why anyone would be selling this. A buyout offer could literally come at any time.

Falcon Oil & Gas marks modest rise on fracking breakthrough but CEO says low prices won’t be around for long

“Falcon are fully carried for the next five wells ... we’ve got US$9mln cash in the bank, so we’re not looking to raise any money any time in the next two to three years."

Falcon’s shares rose no more than 10% in the morning’s deals

     

Investors may be forgiven for feeling underwhelmed by Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd’s (LON:FOG) modest share price rise after Tuesday brought an end to fifteen months of anticipation and more than a modicum of uncertainty.

Falcon’s shares rose no more than 10% in the morning’s deals and at around 11:00am were changing hands at 24.9p, up only 5.96%.

Lifting of a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing allows Falcon and operating partner Origin Energy to get back to work in their pursuit of a major shale gas play in the Northern Territory’s Beetaloo basin.

The fracking hiatus cut off what had been a very encouraging programme of wells and flow testing – subsequent analysis saw some 6.6 trillion cubic feet of gas identified within an area that represents just an eighth of the Beetaloo project.

Now, the partners plan to get back to work as soon as practical, meaning new drilling is likely to start in 2019. Significantly, Origin is covering some US$101mln of what will be a five well programme and is expected to run into 2020.

If investors were expecting a bigger boost to the Falcon share price, they were not alone.

“I would’ve imagined it would be much higher … and I think it will in the next few days when people realise what this really means,” Falcon chief executive Philip O’Quigley said in an interview with Proactive Investors.

“It is not just a lifting of moratorium."

O’Quigley added: “We’re going back to go after what is already a huge resource, 6.6 TCF just on one zone in one eighth of the whole area, and there’s much more to go after.

“I think people, in time, will realise that this is a huge play and it is a really attractive asset.

“Falcon are fully carried for the next five wells, so there’s no issues, we’ve got US$9mln cash in the bank, so we’re not looking to raise any money any time in the next two to three years.

“People will realise that this is the only time you’re going to get in at these prices, today, and hopefully we’ll see the market appreciate that over the next few days.”
