| Realized oil price, USD/bbl — every barrel not yet covered by a cargo | 55 | 70 | 90 |
| Sales are Brent-linked; the April overlift pre-sold H1 and most of Q3 2026 at $116.05, and the company expects no further oil sales in 2026 — so every uncovered barrel realizes at the next cargo in 2027. The EIA's August outlook sees Brent easing to $69 for 2027 as Middle East supply recovers; today's ~$88 carries a war premium that outlook removes. |
| Net WI production, barrels/day, yearly average 2026→2030 | 4,750 → 5,000 → 4,900 → 4,700 → 4,500 (2026→2030) |
| Q2 2026 came in at 5,045 bopd at 93% efficiency, but there is no drilling this year, so the fields decline naturally: the company guides a year-end exit rate near 4,300. The 2027 plateau assumes the campaign returning that year delivers like the 2025 one did (+6,500 bopd gross); gentle decline after. 2P reserves ≈ 8 years at these rates. |
| Operating expenses per WI barrel, USD | 12.5 | 12.5 | 12.5 |
| Q2 2026 ran at ~$11.6/bbl — a clean quarter, and the first corroboration of the $12 the company claims; Q1's $14.1 was inflated by the 16-day outage. Still set above the company's figure: Perenco controls the cost base (non-operated). |
| Administrative expenses, USD M per year | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| 2025 actual: $8.0M (down from $14M) after the US DoJ closure and restructuring; Q1 2026 annualizes to $7.6M. Trial legal costs could push this up through 2027–28. |
| Capex paid, USD M per year | 11 → 20 → 15 → 10 (2026→2029+) |
| 2026 is the first half's actual spend doubled ($5.5M — maintenance level, no campaign running). 2027 now carries the company's own expectation of ~$20M for an infill-only programme, replacing the $30M placeholder scaled from the 2025 five-well campaign; management says nothing major is planned on infrastructure. Perenco proposes the sanctioned budget at a November operating committee. |
| Legal contingency, USD M — the Økokrim trial priced, one-off placed Q2 2027 | 75 | 20 | 0 |
| The low outcome carries the punitive fine ($75M), the high outcome an acquittal ($0) — the company categorically contests, and the parallel US DoJ inquiry closed without action; base = a Yara-scale Norwegian corporate fine (~NOK 300M). Licence loss or management-integrity revelations are NOT priced here — they break a thesis foundation and force re-evaluation instead. |
| Discount rate, per year — Kim's required return (the fair-value strip above) | 15% | 15% | 15% |
| 15 rather than a textbook ~20: the illiquidity layer doesn't bite at his position size, and world-risk (price, production, trial) already lives in low/base/high and the legal driver — the rate covers time value, model error and what no scenario models. |
| 2C → 2P conversion share — how much of the 9.3 million barrels of PNGF contingent resources (Sud 7.2 + Bis 2.1) the fair value credits | 0% | 25% | 50% |
| Deliberately conservative against the record (reserve replacement ~250% since 2017; 93% in 2024 with wells sanctioned, 14% in 2025 without): low = the already-paid-for 2027 campaign adds nothing beyond booked 2P; base ≈ that one campaign delivering like 2025's did; high = the infill machine keeps sanctioning while Bis stays dormant. |
