I have always said the short-cycle nature of shale is a real game-changer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marina Schwarz + 1,576 January 17, 2019 You';re certainly not alone in appreciating this but a lot of praisers seem to forget that short cycle also means quicker well exhaustion rates if that's how it's called. Offshore may be slow to grow but it's got a much longer productive life. I'm not sure if in the end both sorts, conventional and unconventional don't end up costing the same. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OPEC and the most "advantaged" offshore oil (I stole the term from BPs Spencer Dale; my favourite oil-writer) will still provide baseload in my view. change happens at the margin. Shale (incl natgas) and renewables will duke it out in the next 3 - 5 years over how the future energy mix will look. Edited January 17, 2019 by Rasmus Jorgensen 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Premiers market cap is currently only £550m. There was a story in the Sunday TImes saying they might have an equity raise to buy £1.5Bn of Chevrons assets ? Not sure how they would manage that even with Chrysaor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with Premier as I see it is that they are alrady heavily leveraged. I just can't see them raising GBP 1,5 Bn in this market. I just don't think there is enough potential upside. I would expect that investors looking at betting on an oil-recovery could much more potential upside in offshore oilservice companies. I guess Chrysaor has the same challenge - limited upside. Maybe Ineos has better acces to finance as they can cross subsidize.  Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the premier UK fields would be a good fit for Ineos and relatively easy to integrate. Ineos also seems to have the rigth profile - work assets to death on as low OPEX as possible. Not sure about the international assets. Generally - I think the challenge for the UKCS and most of the North Sea, except Norway, is that it has limited upside i.e. only little room to cut OPEX and big downside i.e. decom liabillity. So, with a few exceptions it is down to how you believe oil price will develop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
