Canacol Energy — Increasing reserves despite reduced 2020 drilling

In 2020, Canacol replaced 61.9bcf of production (equivalent to 170mmscfd) with 75bcf of reserves, delivering a reserves replacement ratio of 122%. This is a commendable result given the company executed a pared down drilling programme in 2020 with only six wells drilled, of which two were exploration wells. The company expects to drill 12 wells in 2021, which should continue to replace rising production, with February sales recently reported of 187mmcfd.

2P reserves continue to grow, production increasing

In Canacol’s latest annual reserves report, 2P reserves increased by 2.2% to 637.2bcf, although this was at a lower rate of increase than in previous years, given reduced drilling activity in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions. Canacol has increased 2P reserves every year since 2015, and with its high exploration success rates and continued drilling activity we expect this trend to continue. Meanwhile production rates continue to increase in 2021 with February 2021 gas sales reaching 187mmscfd, up 6% on January sales and close to the high-end of the 153–190mmscfd company guidance range for the year; our base case valuation currently reflects 172mmscfd.

Gas price pressure affects reserves valuations

Despite adding reserves across the 1P, 2P and 3P categories in its 2020 reserve report, Canacol’s technical auditors have reduced their gas price assumptions for the next five years by on average 21%, and this has reduced the technical valuation of the company’s reserves by c 20%. Canacol’s technical auditors’ gas price assumptions are broadly in line with Edison prices assumptions, which we updated as part of a wider review of the Colombia gas markets in our Outlook note published in January 2021.

Valuation: Base case valuation C$5.87/share

Edison’s risked exploration net asset value (RENAV) is based on a combination of 2P reserves and additional ‘to be developed’ risked reserves that we expect to be added over the next five years. Assumed additional risked reserves of c 72bcf/a (broadly in line with the 2020 reserves additions) drive a base case valuation of C$5.87/share. We expect to update our valuations after the FY20 results, which are due to be published on 18 March 2021.

Continued growth despite headwinds

Canacol added 75bcf of new reserves in 2020 that more than offset gross production of 61.9bcf, realising a reserves replacement ratio of 122% for the year. This was despite having to execute a pared down drilling programme as a result of COVID-19; a planned 12-well programme was reduced to only six wells, of which two were exploration. 2P reserves increased by 2.2% to 637.2bcf, although this was at a lower rate of increase than in previous years, as the company continued its strategy of steadily drilling its 162 individual prospects and leads historically underpinned by an exploration and appraisal success rate of over 80%. The company has a reserves life index (RLI) of 9.2 years based on gas production of 190mmscfd, in line with company high-end guidance for 2021, and above Canacol’s targeted RLI of eight years.

Exhibit 1: Canacol 2P reserves growth

Source: Edison Investment Research, Canacol Energy

Our base case scenario assumes a short production plateau in 2023/2024 of 235mmscfd (based on 205mmscfd of the 215mmscfd pipeline capacity and 30 mmscfd allocated to the 200MW Tesorito plant) and our upside case assumes 345mmscfd from 2025 when the proposed 285km new pipeline from Jobo-Medellin, with 100mmscfd capacity, is estimated by Canacol to come online. Under these scenarios, the RLI at current 2P levels would reduce to 7.4 years and 5.0 years respectively.

Production has continued to recover strongly, with February 2021 gas sales reaching 187mmscfd, up 6% on January sales and close to the 190mmscfd guidance for the year. Canacol plans to drill 12 wells in 2021: nine exploration wells and three development wells. The first two wells of the programme have completed drilling, with the Oboe-2 development well completed and tied into the Jobo gas processing facility. The Flauta-1 exploration well did not encounter commercial gas and has been plugged and abandoned. The rigs are currently mobilising to drill the Cañahuate 4 development well and the Milano 1 exploration well, both of which are expected to spud in the second week of March and take around five weeks to drill.

Gas price assumptions and reserves NPV implications

In conducting its 2020 reserves report, Canacol’s technical consultants, Boury Global Energy Consultants (BGEC), assumed a markedly lower gas price outlook than in 2019 to value the company’s reserves, as shown in Exhibit 2. Average price assumptions over the period 2021 to 2024 are 21% below the price realisations assumed at the end of 2019.

This reflects a reduction in Canacol’s fixed-price gas contract realisations during 2020 and probable pricing pressure from gas sales at interruptible price forecasts, given reduced demand due to COVID-19. The new gas price outlook is broadly consistent with Edison’s existing gas price assumptions as we had previously assumed that prices would come under some pressure for the coming years. For more details of the basis for Edison’s gas price outlook, and the wider gas supply/demand and price outlook in Colombia refer to our January 2021 Outlook note.

As a consequence of the reduced gas price outlook, BGEC has reported a c 20% reduction in NPV-10 valuations for Canacol’s gross reserves (Exhibit 3). Given Canacol’s low operating costs, this pass through of prices to valuation is what we would have expected.

As a reminder, Edison’s base case valuation (total NAV) is based on a combination of 2P reserves and production from an additional 800bcf of target volumes that we expect to be discovered and developed over the next five years. Our valuation assumes a 45% success rate from this exploration activity hence we are adding effectively the equivalent of 72bcf of risked additional gas volumes to the reserves inventory on an annual basis. Given Canacol’s continued strong reserves replacement ratio and high exploration success, we remain confident of this approach for the foreseeable future.

Based on our previous modelling of reserves and to be discovered volumes of gas, our base case valuation for Canacol (including net debt, SG&A etc) is US$846m or C$5.87/share (using a 12.5% discount rate). Full details of this valuation, and upside and downside sensitivities, can be found in our Outlook note published in January 2021. We expect to update our valuation to reflect the updated reserves and other material differences after the FY20 results (which are due to be published on 18 March 2021).
