13.08.2007 New well at LAM field flows at 2.9mbpd
Dragon Oil reported another operational success on Friday, with its recently finished LAM well 121 reportedly flowing at 2,900bpd from multiple producing horizons. The new producing well should further increase the company's recently reported peak output of 34mbpd, improving its chances to exceed our annual average production forecast of 30.6mbpd.
The announcement confirms the geological quality of the company's assets and our view of Dragon Oil as one of the most financially and operationally sound small-cap stories in the FSU.
Our recommendation for Dragon Oil is Buy, with end-2007 fair value of $6.64.
