Company Description

Petro Matad is a UK-listed E & P company that has focused on the Mongolian oil arena. The company has two licences (XX and V) where it currently has 100% working interests. Perhaps the most exciting is Block XX, where Petro Matad has made the Heron oil discovery and where the field development plan has been approved by the Mongolian authorities. This field could contain over 30 mmbbl of recoverable oil resources and has some near-field exploration prospects that, if successful, could further enhance the project. The company also has some promising large prospects in its other licence 2 - Block V.

Investment Summary

The approval of the Heron field development plan should prove to be pivotal for Petro Matad. The company can now move forward with the initial development in 2022, which will allow it to start generating early cash flow. This will be used to accelerate the field development and allow management to restart exploration activity. With the field approved and much of the risk removed, we might see the company farm out a proportion of the Heron field. This would reduce its net capital spend and potentially generate some cash from the sale.
