Following the highly successful Barryroe appraisal well, Providence has dealt with its financing issues with a Placing to raise US$100m. The remainder of the 2012-13 drilling programme looks funded. We have significantly upgraded our view of Barryroe and, post Placing, have a price target of 1250p. We retain our Buy recommendation.

Stock Performance

Providence raised c.US$100m by Placing 13.1m new shares (26% of the old share capital) at 480p, a 5% premium to the pre-Placing price. The funds will be used to repay the outstanding convertible bond (c.US$40m) and meet the costs of the 2012-13 drilling programme. The Barryroe well was successful and the important X12 development well at Singleton should complete next month. An exploration well on the Dalkey Island oil prospect and an appraisal well on the Dragon gas discovery are scheduled for H2 2012. In 2013, we expect exploration wells on Dunquin and Rathlin and an appraisal well on Spanish Point. Success with any of the Irish wells will have a material impact on valuations. We estimate that after repaying the balance of the convertible,
Providence will have c.40m (US$55m) cash. We assume it does not farm out any further interests and incurs drilling costs of c.15m (US$20m) in the remainder of 2012 and c.27m (US$36m) in 2013. There should be sufficient cash available to fund this allowing for some surplus cash generation from Singleton. Any further farm-outs would add to available cash at the end of 2013.

In addition, our risked value of just the appraisal drilling programme is c.400p with huge potential upside from exploration drilling. We have set our price target at 1250p (our base NAV + half the risked appraisal value), up from 880p, and hope to increase that further. We retain a BUY recommendation.

Material upgrade to expectations


After the highly successful Barryroe appraisal well, Providence has raised new equity funding to finance the remainder of its current drilling programme (and repay the convertible bond). We have updated our forecasts to reflect these developments and retain our Buy recommendation with a revised 1250p price target.

The Placing
Providence has placed 13.1m new shares at 480p per share, raising gross proceeds of c.63m (US$100m) before expenses. The net proceeds will be used:

To repay the balance of the convertible bond that matures in July 2012. The net
amount payable is estimated to be c.US$40m.

To fund the extra cost of the Barryroe drilling programme, following the increase
in Providences participation from 50% to 80% last December, and to provide funds for further technical studies. These costs are estimated to be around US$30m.

The balance of the proceeds (US$30m) together with existing cash resources
and cash generated from Singleton operations, will be used to fund the ongoing multi well drilling programme, offshore Ireland and onshore UK. The Placing was oversubscribed and completed at a price that was a 5% premium to the pre Placing closing price. The redemption of the convertible bond simplifies the capital structure, releases cash flow from servicing the bonds 12% coupon and addresses any remaining concerns about Providences financing.

Barryroe recap
The first well in the drilling programme, Barryroe, was very successful. The results showed that the field is bigger in overall size, thicker in reservoir intervals, and delivered better flow rates with much lighter, more mobile sweet crude than had been expected. The well flowed 3,514 bpd oil and 2.93 mmcfd gas (c. 4,000 boed) from the oil interval, far above pre-drill estimates of 1,800 bpd. In addition, an upper gas zone flowed, through constrained test equipment, at more than 7 mmcfd gas and is estimated to be capable of flowing at 23 mmcfd. Oil quality was much better than expected at 42o API, wax content of 20% and viscosity of 0.70 centipoises (compared to a pre-drill expectation of 3-4 centipoises). The very high mobility of the crude suggests materially higher flow rates can be achieved particularly when horizontal wells are used, as planned. The basal sand reservoir is very extensive and has been seen in many other wells across large parts of the Celtic Sea Basin. However, it was never seen as a continuous basal reservoir until now. Based on new pressure data obtained from this well, and correlated regionally, the Barryroe oil water contact is estimated to be substantially deeper than previously thought, pointing to scope for significantly more hydrocarbons over a much broader area. Specifically at Barryroe, this primary basal sandstone reservoir can now be seen in the previous 5 wells that have been drilled to this depth. They cover a strike (east to west) of approximately 20 km, or a total spatial area of some c.300 km2.

Management states that is equivalent in size to a medium to large sized North Sea oil field. All the data are now being integrated with the 3D seismic to update the resource and reserve volumetrics ahead of progressing field development plans. While this process proceeds, Providence will engage with suitably qualified farminees with specific expertise in offshore field development and operations with a view to mitigating the companys development capex exposure in return for equity/operatorship. Reserve assumptions raised Audited RPS Energy pre-drill estimates of P50 recoverable resources were 59 mmb oil, based on a STOIIP of 373 mmb. However, these numbers are now expected to increase materially based on the well results and we have decided to upgrade our own assumptions. The RPS Energy audit for Lansdowne in 2010 indicated P50 and P10 STOIIP for Barryroe of 373 and 893 mmb oil, respectively. The corresponding 2C and 3C technically recoverable contingent resources were 59 and 144 mmb oil. It is too early to quantify the likely increase in resources with any certainty. However, the in place resources should be positively impacted by the increased sands and deeper oil water contact. The RPS report focussed on the shallower oil bearing sands, not the basal sands, so these sands will need to be factored in. And there is the potential for increased recovery rates from oil that is more mobile than expected. Finally, the use of horizontal wells with artificial lift (such as electrical submersible pumps) provides an opportunity to materially uplift oil production rates from the vertical well test. Figure 1 illustrates the impact of different quantities of oil-in-place and recovery factors on estimates of recoverable reserves. The RPS P50 case of 59mmb recoverable oil was based on 373mmb STOIIP and a recovery factor of 16%.
Figure 1: Barryroe reserves with different STOIIP and recovery factors (mmb)
STOIIP (mmb) Recovery factor 10% 15% 20% 25% Source: Liberum Capital estimates 373 37 56 75 93 546 55 82 109 137 719 72 108 144 180 893 89 134 179 223

If the STOIIP increased to the P10 893 mmb and the recovery factor to 20%, Barryroe could contain 180mmb recoverable oil. It is straightforward to see that the field could be 150mmb or more, equivalent to a medium to large sized North Sea field. Ahead of the update on resources, we have decided to incorporate a 100 mmb oil field in our Providence base case, which may still prove to be conservative. Providence has made clear that it will seek suitably qualified farminees with specific expertise in offshore field development and operations to mitigate the companys development capex exposure in return for equity/operatorship. We assume that Providence retains a 40% interest in a 100mmb field and is carried through the development.

Drilling programme
Figure 2 sets out our current understanding of the drilling programme (with the EMV in Figure 8). The important X12 development well at Singleton is ongoing and should complete late next month. Then we expect an exploration well on the Dalkey Island oil prospect and an appraisal well on the Dragon gas discovery to be drilled in H2 2012. A Spanish Point appraisal well and the Dunquin exploration well are planned for H1 2013 and Rathlin should be drilled in H2 2013. Success with any of the Irish wells will have a material impact on valuations.

Financial forecasts
We have updated our forecasts to incorporate the impact of the Placing, a larger than previously expected Barryroe development and the latest timing of drilling plans and expenditures. The financial forecasts are set out in Figures 4-6, based on the key environmental assumptions and production forecasts detailed in Figure 3. The critical operational assumptions are that the Barryroe field contains 100 mmb oil, is developed for first production in 2015 and that Providence reduces its interest in the asset to 40% in exchange for a carry through development.
Figure 3: Key assumptions

We still await the results for 2011 which may have been a transition year with some balance sheet tidying up after the sale of the US assets, other pre-licence expenditure write-offs and the unwinding of uneconomic hedges. We expect a significant one-off hit to finance costs. Our forecasts show that we expect Providence to report small profits from 2012 until Barryroe starts contributing in 2015.

The cash flow forecasts are of more interest. We expect cash flow from operations to be positive and to grow as the production from Singleton increases. Its contribution covers all operating and overhead costs. Last year, Providence raised US$66m from an equity placing, c.US$25m from asset sales and US$60m from a pre-paid oil swap transaction with Deutsche Bank. It acquired some seismic and commenced drilling on Barryroe in November. We estimate that at the end of 2011 it had net cash of around 3m with around 32m of the convertible bonds outstanding. So far this year, Providence has completed Barryroe (with an 80% interest), commenced drilling at Singleton, secured an additional US$6m from asset sales and raised US$100m (75m) from Placing new shares.

We estimate that after repaying the balance of the convertible, Providence will have c.40m cash, a US$60m pre-paid swap debt facility with Deutsche Bank and cash flow from Singleton. Singleton cash flows cover all overhead expenses so cash balances can be used to fund the remaining 2012-13 drilling programme. The spend will depend on the timing of drilling and the working interests that Providence retains in its drilling ventures. We assume that it does not farm out any further interests and drills Dalkey Island and Dragon this year with Spanish Point, Dunquin and Rathlin drillied in 2013. On this basis, we estimate Providence will incur drilling costs of c.15m (US$20m) in the remainder of 2012 and c.27m (US$36m) in 2013. There should be sufficient cash available to fund this allowing for some surplus cash generation from Singleton and/or the farm-out of interests in Dragon, Spanish Point or Dunquin. We believe Providence has the flexibility to complete the drilling programme. We expect Barryroe to start contributing in 2015 and move the Group to generating significant cash surpluses.

Valuation
We believe Providence has a balanced and attractive portfolio of assets that offer low risk volume growth and exposure to material exploration upside from wells that, individually, appear unlikely to absorb significant cash resources. Here, we present our estimates of the value of commercial assets and the potential value of the imminent exploration drilling campaign. Asset values Figure 7 sets out our estimated DCF values for Providences assets, based on the assumptions detailed in Figure 3 and our understanding of costs and fiscal regimes. We ascribe value to Singleton and Barryroe and conservatively include adjustments to reflect the costs of G&A and unsuccessful exploration.

Our base case valuation (and financial forecasts) includes the development of Barryroe. We assume around 100mmb oil is developed using a fixed wellhead platform and a leased FPSO, with plateau production at 40,000 bpd oil. If Providence retained an 80% interest in the development, we estimate the NPV10 would be US$905m (1019p per share) net of the San Leon NPI. However, management has stated that it will seek to bring in a partner to operate the development and minimise its own financial exposure during the development phase. Our base case assumes Providence retains a 40% working interest in return for a carry of its development costs. This outcome has a NPV10 of US$880m (901p per share). Overall, we value Providences current commercial assets at 1045p, around 90% above the current share price. Moreover, there could be material upside to our valuation not only from Barryroe recoverable resources but also from successful appraisal of other discoveries. Our NAV is a snapshot value of the assets that we believe are commercial today. We base it on current most likely reserve quantities, include a view on the timing of developments in our asset valuations and do not obscure values by making arbitrary risk adjustments. Normally, we would argue that NAV is just the value of cash flow from todays assets and does not incorporate a view on the value that will be created through future reinvestment. This is particularly important for Providence, as it implements its drilling plans and there should be upside to the asset value from future appraisal or exploration success.

EMV We illustrate the potential upside with our estimate of the Expected Monetary Value (EMV) of the remaining drilling programme. We recognise risked value for all the planned wells except those on Barryroe and Singleton (which are in our base NAV) and Rathlin Island, where the prospect size is still to be fully assessed. Each of the wells offers material upside if successful. The chance of success with the appraisal wells should be high given the control from earlier drilling data and seismic. We assume chances of success of 60-75% that do not appear unrealistic.

On this basis, and given Providences high working interests, there is low risk, material upside from Spanish Point (400p) and Dragon (250p). Either of these appraisal wells could have a very material impact on valuation. The exploration wells on Dalkey Island and Dunquin are even more exciting. The chance of success of Dunquin and its prospect size reflect the current Providence and ExxonMobil views, supported by subsequent farminees ENI and Repsol; the Dalkey Island assessment benefits from its similarities with proven hydrocarbon fields in Liverpool Bay. Success with either prospect would transform valuations.

View on the shares


Providence has assembled an attractive portfolio of drilling opportunities that range from low risk appraisal of existing discoveries to high risk, potentially transformational exploration plays. This still does not appear to be reflected in the current share price. Our value of todays commercial resources is more than 1000p, which we believe is conservative given the forthcoming review of Barryroe resources. In addition, we estimate the risked value of the appraisal drilling programme is around 400p with huge potential upside from exploration drilling. It appears that both the appraisal and exploration upside can be accessed for free at the current share price. Additionally, over and above the projects we have mentioned above, there is a range of other projects/prospects that offer opportunities to progress commercialisation, which further underpins the value proposition. We have set our price target at 1250p (our base NAV + half the risked appraisal value) and hope to increase that materially. We retain a BUY recommendation.
