Magnolia CEO, Steven Snead said, “As at year end, Magnolia Petroleum had interests in 176 producing wells in US onshore formations; net proven reserves of approximately 1 million barrels of oil and 3 MMCF of gas; and production of 281 boepd which generated revenues of US$3,851,905. In the three years since AIM admission, we have successfully built a low cost, highly revenue generative US onshore focused oil and gas company. We believe there is a lot more to come. Thanks to having a diverse portfolio of leases with multiple drilling opportunities that are profitable below current oil prices, we have a strong platform for growth in the years ahead.
“Above all, Magnolia has significant asset backing in the form of net proven reserves. These have been independently valued, using oil prices close to today’s levels, at US$26.65 million, far higher than our market valuation. We have more drilling planned for the year ahead, including two 94% owned Magnolia operated wells. As the recent director share purchases show, the Board is committed to working hard to ensure Magnolia’s market cap fully reflects the value generated to date, let alone the excellent growth potential within our portfolio.”
