Ukraine-focused explorer Hawkley Oil & Gas has secured a “buy” recommendation from Hartleys, which calculates that the company is trading at a significant discount to the value of its soon-to-be-producing project and to its peers.
From what I have heard the 6 month target from Hartley's is .68
Blue skies for HOG. SP should reach that target very quickly IMO when production starts this month.
I agree, 68c seems very achievable in the short term so long as the flow rates predicted are achieved
Hi Emile - greetings from New Zealand.
Thanks for that post - it is interesting that although Hartleys' risked valuation of HOG is currently $0.68, which in itself makes it attractive, they go on to say (p21) that the potential for resources exceeding independent estimates should not be discounted, with consequent valuations in excess of $7.00.
Using the figures from the 5 June 2010 Moyes report, I get a rough unrisked NPV around $3.00 - and this is without considering the implications of the outstanding drilling results of late 2010 - flow rates about 4 times greater than expected ( ref HOG, 8 Dec 2010).
In view of the drilling results, obtained using better control of the drilling techniques than others have used in the past, HOG's independent consultants are currently re-evaluating the entire field, with a view to providing a new reserves and resources estimate. The result was expected late Dec 2010 - early Jan 2011. It's now mid Jan, so an announcement can't be very far away!
In the meantime, of course, they are on the verge of becoming a producer.
any thoughts on todays IP announcement?
It is interesting to compare the chart for HOG's production forecast (ref Moyes 5 June 2010) with that for AUT (ref CBA 16 Feb 2011) - they are remarkably similar - if anything HOG's forecast production is larger.
There are, of course, many differences between the two companies - one's in the USA and the other's in Ukraine, for a start, but, setting these aside, we have AUT with a mc of $1262m, and HOG with $58m - that's a 22 fold difference.
Coincidentally AUT has climbed 21 times since its 2009 low, as more and more wells have been drilled and the acreage derisked.
HOG is at an earlier stage of development, but I believe it is potentially another AUT. And AUT itself is still considered well undervalued!
It's also worth noting that this is without considering the implications of the spectacular flow rates obtained in the first Sorochynsckya well - "three to five times original expectations" (ref HOG 17 Feb 2011). The Moyes report will have assumed the originally expected flow rates.
Roll on the spudding in of the first Chernetska well!
An interesting response to today's HOG announcement - initially a gap up, then a gap fill. Tomorrow's another day, I guess.

Hi guys
Magic Man i took a look at HOG and yes i very much like what ive seen so far. Obviosly a lot of derisking to occur yet, but that first well in what they knew would be a producing zone is fantastic. The other thing i really like about it is the dry gas is double the price then in the US, making the well lives much longer and far more economic in the first place.
To me it looks like they may be on a very very big winner if things pan out as planned. Thier potential flows and reserves to EV ratio will be rediculous if they get this right.
Obviously a need for a small CR if they are to accellerate things.
Looks to me like it has potential to be a multi-bagger like AUT, but still a lot of unknowns that need to be sorted out.
