Africa Oil Corp (AOIC.ST) E&A Drilling Campaign Continues to Offer Significant Potential 2 April 2014 ¦ 16 pages ir.citi.com
Valuation support from existing discoveries, E&A drilling campaign still targeting material upside — Despite recent disappointing newsflow (Etuko flow rates and Emong dry well), we still see Africa Oil as one of the highest impact exploration stories in European E&P. We believe our valuation of the existing discoveries in the Lokichar Basin (SEK42/share) provides good downside support to the current share price. We expect the high levels of drilling activity planned over the next 12 months could determine the full potential from its core play in the Lokichar basin in Kenya, but also target new frontier basins. Further exploration success and continued progress towards the development of regional pipeline infrastructure between Uganda and Kenya will materially enhance the value of Africa Oil’s asset portfolio, in our view. We reduce our price target to SEK69/share (from SEK80/share) to reflect the recent drilling news, but retain our Buy (1H) rating.

Karoon Gas Australia Limited (KAR.AX) Discount for farm-down delays unwarranted; upgrade to Buy 2 April 2014 ¦ 22 pages ir.citi.com
We think KAR has sufficient cash to fund the ongoing Browse appraisal program, but will need to farm-down Brazil and/or Browse prior to commencing Brazil appraisal programme in 2H CY14. If KAR can complete farm-down of Browse, Brazil, Peru then we estimate KAR will be able to fund its share of exploration & appraisal costs until late-CY18. While the farm-downs have been delayed beyond prior guidance of end-CY13, we do not see this as a negative reflection of the outcome, but rather reflective of timing that is normal for this process. We understand that farm-downs remain at an advanced stage and interest has been high. We think the current discount in KAR’s share price from market concerns about farm-down delays is unfair, given the value placed on underlying assets by corporate transactions. Upgrade to Buy with TP of A$5.88/share.
