Fastnet (FAST ) partner to develop its Irish assets imminently

Tendrara Lakbir prospect

Fastnet Tendrara Lakbir prospect — sometime in the summer.
Dublin-based exploration firm Fastnet Oil & Gas is hopeful of beginning its planned asset disposal programme by the end of the year.

The company — which has its shares listed in Dublin and London — has a basic plan of proving viability at each of its licences in Morocco and Ireland before selling them and directly returning the proceeds to shareholders, most likely via a tender offer.

While Fastnet has one of the largest acreage positions in the Celtic Sea of any independent explorer,Management is however, still hopeful of selecting a partner to develop its Irish assets imminently.

Each of Fastnet’s licence assets if found to be containing potentially commercial flows will be sold as individual subsidiaries.

Fastnet has made another important step ahead of 2014 drilling with CPR confirmation of contingent and prospective resources at Tendrara as well as desktop studies confirming both a robust drill plan and potential development scheme,with 10+ wells planned to drill over the next 12 months.

Potential of its onshore gas assets in Morocco.

Based on a 65% recovery factor, the “best” estimate gross recoverable resource is put at 310.5bln cubic feet of gas (bcf). The work carried out by SLR Consulting points to a high estimate of 891.9bcf and a low of 30.1bcf.

The study covers the eight exploration permits that make up the Tendrara-Lakbir licence. Interestingly, it ascribes a net present value of US$2.29mln per bcf, which underlines the value of the assets, which are being developed in partnership with the Oil & Gas Investment Funds and ONHYM, the Moroccan state oil firm.
Separately, Houston-based NuTech has described the reservoir properties for the Triassic TAGI sand as consistent with good potential gas flow rates from a gross gas-bearing interval in TE-5 of 82.2 metres.
