Dejour hosted first earnings call: outlined 2011
plans
Dejour (DEJ) announced first
quarter results, and management outlined exploration and
development plans for 2011. First quarter results benefited from
higher oil and gas prices, but the ramp up of production after the
implementation of the waterflood has been gradual and did not
benefit first quarter results. On the earnings call, management
stated that current oil production at Woodrush is 430 BOPD, up 30%
from the production level in the first quarter indicating that
there is now traction to the ramp up. Third quarter production
should be impressive. Due to the adoption of IFRS with its required
non-cash warrant expense, the company reported a loss of $2.37
million of $0.02 per diluted share. Without the warrant liability,
the loss was $1.21 million of $0.01 per diluted share.
In addition to the improved production profile at Woodrush in the
second half of 2011, the company will begin drilling for natural
gas at Gibson Gulch, Colorado in the Piceance Basin. Having chosen
three sites (PUDs - Proved UnDeveloped reserves) in close proximity
to proven wells drilled by Barrett Corp. (BBG:NYSE) or Williams
Companies (WMB:NYSE), the first two-to-three wells should be
drilled in the fourth quarter this year. After financing the
initial wells over the next couple years with non-equity funding,
management expects that the remaining wells of the 93 planned in
the drilling program will become self-funding in 2014.
In addition, a test well is planned for South Rangely in the second
quarter. With two targets to test both the upper and lower Niobrara
sections of the Mancos Shale, Dejour is targeting both the oil
potential and natural gas.
Also, the day prior to the earnings report, Dejour announced that
AJM Petroleum Consultants (independent reservoir engineering
consultants) updated the NI 51-101 compliant reserve report on the
Woodrush Field. Using data from a 3D reservoir simulator, PV-10
with proved and probable reserves increased 158% from C$17 million
to C$44 million.
We reiterate our Outperform rating and price target of $1.00.
