Auctus Advisors founding partner Stephane Foucaud talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about Sintana Energy Inc (TSX-V:SEI, OTCQB:SEUSF), highlighting why it is an exciting time for the company and its investors. Namibia has become a global hotspot for oil exploration, with supermajors like BP, ENI, and Chevron investing heavily in the region. According to Foucaud, Sintana stands out as the only small-cap public company providing exposure to Namibia's high-impact drilling programs.
Foucaud detailed that Sintana holds interests in three key blocks (PEL 83, 90, and 87) within the Orange Basin, where recent discoveries have uncovered billions of barrels of oil and gas. He noted that last year’s Mopane discovery in PEL 83, with operator Galp Energia, adds significant value to the company's portfolio. Foucaud explained that Mopane's estimated 3 billion barrels of recoverable resources equate to a net value of $160 million for Sintana.
With three firm wells set to be drilled in 2025, including Chevron's Kapana-1X, Foucaud underscored the high potential for material discoveries that could significantly rewrite Sintana’s valuation. He added that adjacent drilling by companies like BP and Total could also have positive read-through effects on Sintana's assets.
Foucaud described Sintana as an attractive investment, noting its downside protection through Mopane’s value and its substantial upside from the upcoming exploration programs.
