Petrolifera Petroleum Limited (PDP-T C$0.80) Gavin Wylie - 403-213-7333Financing Closes Craig Butchko - 403-213-7762
Proceeds from Petrolifera's $50M equity financing have been earmarked for debt repaymentand to fund its high-impact exploration through 2009 and into early 2010.
That said, drillingin Peru could be pushed further into 2010 unless a suitable farm-out can be established.Implications¦
Factoring in the newly issued shares (54M) and proceeds, our revised 2P NAV stands at$1.47/share (vs. $2.11/share).
Our estimates assume no proceeds from a potential farm-outin Peru that could recover a portion of the US$28M (100%) spent thus far.¦ For the balance of 2009, Petrolifera's $23M capital budget will include minimal drilling andwell conversions in Argentina, and potential spending associated with a La Pinta re-entry ifthe company can secure a snub-unit.¦
We maintain our 2-Sector Perform rating on Petrolifera and have lowered our one-yeartarget to $1.20 per share (vs. $1.75), which is based on our revised risked NAV of $1.20 pershare (vs. $1.77/share).Recommendation¦
The added cash should help to alleviate Petrolifera's near-term constraints and refocus itsattention to exploration activity in Colombia and Peru..
