Together we can do so much
Initiate with an Outperform and 9p target price
On 17th August 2012 Petroceltic announced an agreed merger with Melrose
Resources (MRS LN). Our Outperform recommendation is premised on:
 The enlarged Board has a track record of building successful E&P companies
(Afren, Tullow, Centurion Energy)
 Free cash-flow derived from the Melrose Resources asset base can now be
used to fund this expansion. We expect the focus to be on exploration.
 We see a greater level of interest in the company as the combined entity will
have a market cap of ~US$525m and plans to move to the Main Board

 Petroceltic‟s share price is supported at the current levels by a Core NAV of
7.6p/sh. Our target price of 9p/sh represents 20% upside.
Merger terms are “more or less” fair
Looking at the value of producing fields, discovered fields with a clear line to
commercialisation and net cash/(debt) suggests a combined company valuation
of US$629m. As Petroceltic would contribute ~55% of the value and Melrose
Resources ~45%, inline with the planned pro-forma shareholding, we see the
deal terms as therefore fair. However, we believe that the market is pricing in at
least some risk of the terms changing in favour of Petroceltic with the inferred
Melrose Resource price still offering 5% upside to the current share price. Using
the market implied exchange ratio of 16.7 Petroceltic shares per Melrose
Resources share (vs. the agreed17.6 exchange ratio) would lead us to increase
our Petroceltic valuation by 1p to 10p.
Cash-flow the draw, Egypt concerns overplayed
From Petroceltic‟s point of view, one of the attractions of the deal is that Melrose
Resources brings immediate production and cash-flow to the company with
assets in Egypt and Bulgaria in 1H12 delivering 28kboe/d on a WI basis. This
cash-flow may well give Petroceltic greater optionality around the financing of its
existing Ain Tsila development in Algeria and therefore potential to retain a larger
economic interest in the farm-out process. The flip side though is that with 50%
of Melrose Resources‟ operating cash-flow derived from Egypt, it also opens the
stock up to Egyptian political risk and concerns about timely payments of
receivables. We believe that any concerns though, at present, are overdone.
We expect the focus to be on adding further exploration
As stand alone companies, neither Petroceltic nor Melrose Resources had the
most exciting exploration portfolios. Combined, the news-flow should certainly
accelerate, however we still feel the exploration portfolio is light. While
Petroceltic talk of six exploration wells over the course of the next 12 months, the
Mesaha exploration well (fully de-risked 0.8p/sh) to spud in October is the only
exploration well with a contracted rig. The other five planned exploration wells all
have real potential for slippage, given the absence of defined prospects and/or
contracted rigs, while we see only one material well result likely before the end of
1H13 – Carpignano Sesia onshore Italy (0.7p/sh risked; 4.6p/sh unrisked).

Fig 2 Key drivers according to business segment
Segment of business
Comment
Production
Petroceltic needs to limit the natural decline within the mature
Melrose Resource asset base while the market needs to be
reassured on Egyptian receivables
A farm-out of the Ain Tsila discovery in Algeria is being pursued and
is expected to complete before year end. Our farm-out assumptions
suggest that the Ain Tsila discovery has increased 35% since the
April 2011 Enel farm-out
We forecast the gearing ratio to trend down from its current level of
19%. The US$300m HSBC loan facility needs re-financing prior to
1H14 although we do not see this as a major obstacle
The first major exploration well, Carpignano Sesia in Italy (0.7p
risked; 4.6p unrisked) is likely to have a result in 2Q13. We see the
addition of further exploration upside as a key focus for the company.

Merger overview
Bringing together two Mediterranean focused E&Ps
The Merger creates
a full cycle E&P with
a market cap of
US$525m
On 17th August 2012 Petroceltic and Melrose Resources (MRS LN, 130p, Neutral, TP 136p,
Mark Wilson) announced a recommended merger to create a full cycle E&P. The major
highlights of the deal are:
 Each Melrose Resources share is to convert into 17.6 Petroceltic shares with Petroceltic
retaining its AIM listing. Melrose Resources shareholders will also be entitled to receive a
special dividend of 4.7p/share payable within 14 days of the merger becoming effective.
 Based upon the previous night‟s closing prices, the terms, including special dividend,
implied a 9.7% premium to Melrose Resource‟s share price and a 23% premium to
Macquarie‟s previous target price for Melrose Resources of 121p. Overall, Melrose
Resources‟ equity was valued at ~US$268m
 The above valuation, together with debt of US$301m and CPR audited 2P reserves of
84mmboe, implies a transaction EV/2P multiple of US$6.8/boe.
 On a basic share count, the above terms would see Petroceltic shareholders own 54% of
the enlarged group and Melrose Resources shareholders hold the residual 46%. Adjusting
for outstanding options and warrants, we estimate that Petroceltic shareholders would own
55.5% of the enlarged group and Melrose Resources 44.5%.
 The merger will be voted on by both sets of shareholders on 20th September 2012 with a
75% approval level required for the deal to be approved. Closing is currently anticipated on
10th October 2012 with a move to the Main Board of the LSE planned within 12 months
 HSBC is to provide a US$300m 18 month loan to Melrose Resources in order to refinance
its existing US$385m Senior Loan and Subordinated Loan Facility, which presumably is
terminated under a Change of Control clause.
Based upon the current market caps of both companies (MRS has fallen by 4% and PCI by
8% since the merger announcement) the enlarged company would have a market cap of
~US$525m which would put it firmly in “mid-cap” E&P territory and make it the 12th largest
stock in our coverage universe (Fig 4 below).

We provide an overview of the pro-forma capital structure in the appendix where we show the
post-deal share count on a basic and on a fully diluted basis. Throughout our analysis, unless
otherwise stated, we have used a fully diluted share count (4,692,613,455 share pro-forma)

We see the merger terms as “more or less” fair
In our view,
company valuations
are within 2% of our
estimates
In Fig 5 below we show our valuation for the assets in the Petroceltic and Melrose Resources
portfolios which are either on production or have a strong chance of being commercialised
(i.e. Core NAV excluding G&A expense).
Combined we see a pro-forma Petroceltic with a valuation of US$629m pre-G&A expenses.
Our estimates suggest Petroceltic would contribute 54.9% and Melrose Resources 45.1% to
the value of the new company which reflects, “more or less”, the agreed basic share count
ownership split of 56% Petroceltic and 44% Melrose Resources.
However, we also believe investors should look at the deal on a fully diluted share count.
Fully diluted, Petroceltic would hold nearer 55.5% of the new company while contributing
54.9% of the value. Even on this measure though the over/under valuation of Petroceltic and
Melrose Resources respectively is <2%. (Note: For complete equality we would actually see
an upwards adjustment to the exchange ratio with Melrose Resources shareholders receiving
18.0 instead of 17.6 Petroceltic shares per Melrose Resource share)

388mmboe of 2P+2C
resources within our
Core NAV
In the bullet points below, we explain which assets have been included in the above
valuation. All in, the assets valued above amount to 2P+2C resources of 388mmboe.
 Producing Assets: The producing assets within the combined entity will come entirely
from Melrose Resources‟ existing asset base. On a working interest basis this consists of
~21kboe/d of oil and gas production from the onshore Mansoura and SE Mansoura
concessions (11 producing fields, 100% WI) within the Egyptian Nile Delta and a further
7kboe/d of gas production from the Kavarna (3mmboe net) and Kaliakra (4mmboe net) gas
fields offshore Bulgaria.
 Discovered/Undeveloped Assets: The lion‟s share of value within this section comes
from Petroceltic‟s 56.625% WI interest in the 538mmboe Ain Tsila gas/condensate
discovery onshore Algeria. The field is fully appraised and a Formal Declaration of
Commerciality has recently been submitted to the Algerian state regulator for approval.
Our value for the asset is premised upon the farm-out of a 37% economic interest in return
for a free carry to first production in mid 2018, with Petroceltic retaining a 19.5% economic
interest. From the Melrose Resource asset base, we include the Galata (1mmboe net) and
Kavarna East (1mmboe net) gas fields offshore Bulgaria (100% WI) which are likely to be
brought on-stream over the 2013-15 timeframe. Perhaps most controversially, given
uncertainty regarding its commerciality, we have excluded Petroceltic‟s 55% WI in the Elsa
oil discovery offshore Italy (52mmb net).
 Net debt/(cash): We estimate that pro-forma, Petroceltic will have net debt of US$191m,
made up of US$300m of debt (Melrose Resources) and US$109m of cash (US$29m within
Melrose Resources and US$80m within Petroceltic including US$25m ENEL payment).
Algeria accounts for
79% of these
resources
12 September 2012
In Fig 6 on the following page we show the geographic split of the 2P+2C resources with
Algeria accounting for 79% of the resource base if we assume current WI of 56.625%
(305mmboe). However, in Fig 7, we show the resources split in case of a farm-down to a
19.5% economic interest, with Algeria weight dropping to 56% (105mmboe)

However the share prices infer this is not yet a done deal
Using the market
implied exchange
ratio increase our
valuation by 1p to
10p
In the charts below, we map the performance of the two share prices (rebased to 100) since
the deal was announced on 17th August 2012, along with the inferred Melrose Resources
share price at the agreed terms. While both stocks have declined since the deal was
announced (Fig 8), Melrose Resource‟s share price has outperformed that of Petroceltic‟s by
~5%.
Interestingly though, the two share prices do not, in our view, reflect the current terms of the
merger. As shown by the red bars, the two share prices imply an exchange ratio (taking into
consideration the 4.7p/sh special dividend) currently of just 16.7 Petroceltic shares per
Melrose Resources share, 6% below the agreed terms. Using this market implied exchange
ratio would lead us increase our valuation for Petroceltic by 1p to 10p
We display this another way in Fig 9 where we show the actual Melrose Resources share
price and also its implied value based upon the Petroceltic share price multiplied by 17.6 plus
the 4.7p special dividend. For all but one day since the merger announcement, the implied
value has been higher than the actual value and we estimate there is currently 5.0% upside
from the current share price. To us, this is evidence that the market believes that there is a
chance that the deal may be revised in favour of Petroceltic (decrease of the exchange ratio)
or that it may not receive the required approval from shareholders.

Valuation, recommendation, risks
We initiate coverage
of Petroceltic with
an Outperform
recommendation
and 9p target price
which suggests 20%
upside to the
current share price.
The table below shows Petroceltic‟s pro-forma asset base. Pages 14-22 of this document
have more details surrounding the main assets however the key elements to highlight are:
 Melrose Resources’ producing assets. The producing assets section of the EMV is
composed entirely of Melrose Resources‟ assets accounting for 6.8p/sh of our 7.6p/sh
Core NAV. While the market is concerned about the ability of the Egyptian authorities to
meet payment schedules we believe that contracting country CDS spreads and
encouraging comments from operators mean that these assets should remain fully derisked for the time being.
 Ain Tsila development. It is the single largest asset in our EMV, with a risked value of
3.5p/sh. A number of factors including uncertain development costs, time to first gas,
residual economic interest and gas pricing means that it is the hardest asset within the
portfolio to value. We assume a farm out of a further 37% of its current 56.625% economic
interest in return for a free carry through to first production in 2018 with this effect reflected
in our NPV/boe given Algerian restrictions on Working Interest farm-downs (see p. 15).
 Short term incremental production potential from Bulgaria. As highlighted in the
production section, the company expects the Kavarna East development to come onstream in 2013, although this may be deferred in favour of re-development of the Galata
field. These production increases are relevant in terms of production and cash-flow
generation, but they represent a small part of our Core NAV (0.6p/sh combined)
 Limited short term E&A upside. The pro-forma company upside remains limited with the
Carpignano Sesia exploration well in Italy accounting for ~41% of the risked upside
(0.7p/sh of 1.7p/sh) and for 46% of the unrisked upside (4.6p/sh of 9.9p/sh). With no
prospects yet defined or rig contracted we do not include the Romanian acreage in our
visible risked E&A upside presently. We assume a 100mmboe prospect for the upcoming
Mesaha exploration well, in-line with comments from Melrose Resources‟ partners.

Petroceltic looks
materially
undervalued relative
to Egyptian peers…
In the table below we look at a market based approach to valuation whereby we compare
Petroceltic in terms of EV/boe to its peers. Given the weighting of production and cash-flow to
Egypt, we think it best to compare the company to a narrow set of peers which includes just
Circle Oil (COP LN, not rated) TransGlobe Energy (TGL CN, C$11.49, Outperform, TP:
C$16.50, David Popowich)both of which like Petroceltic have a majority of 2P reserves
located in Egypt.
On this approach, Petroceltic appears relatively cheap at the EV/2P level but materially
undervalued when including contingent resources for the companies and on an EV/production
basis.

coverage universe. Trading at a small 2% discount to its Core NAV of 7.6p/share and a 19%
discount to its Core + Risked NAV (vs the sector discount of 18%) suggests that Petroceltic is
not an expensive stock. However, on both these metrics, we believe it would be hard to argue
it is a compelling “value” stock.

Instead, our Outperform recommendation is premised upon 20% upside potential to our 9p/sh
fair value but also a confidence that there will be further corporate activity to bolster the
portfolio. This latter argument rests on a Board which contains individuals which have a track
record of growing small cap E&Ps. For more details of the Board‟s composition please refer
to page 26 however a brief overview of the key personnel within the enlarged group is given
below:
Brian O’Cathain – Chief Executive (PCI)
A geologist and petroleum engineer, Mr O‟Cathain was Managing Director of Tullow Oil‟s
international business and CEO of Afren (2005-07). Before that, he was a senior manager of
Shell International, where he was principally involved with acquisitions, divestments and
corporate strategy.
Tom Hickey – Chief Financial Officer (PCI)
Mr Hickey was an Executive Director and CFO of Tullow Oil, from 2000 to 2008, when Tullow
grew through a number of significant acquisitions including the US$570m acquisition of
Energy Africa in 2004 and the US$1.1bn acquisition of Hardman Resources in 2006.
David Thomas – Chief Operating Officer (MRS)
Mr. Thomas was appointed CEO of Melrose in 2007, before that he was President and COO
of Centurion Energy, an Egyptian, Tunisian and West African E&P which was acquired by
Dana Gas in 2007 for US$1bn.
Robert F. M. Adair – Non-executive Chairman (MRS)
Mr Adair founded the company which originally grew into Melrose Resources. Mr. Adair is a
geologist and was a Chartered Accountant specialising in oil and gas taxation.

Melrose Resources brings production
Production comes from mature assets in Egypt and Bulgaria
The asset base of
28kboe/d is in its
natural decline
phase
Melrose Resources brings to the combined entity immediate production, with 1H12 WI
production of 28.2kboe/d coming from Egypt and Bulgaria. The fields though are generally
mature and to FY17 we expect overall group production to have fallen by 51% from our FY12
forecast of 27.0kboe/d to just 13.3kboe/d (Fig 15). Within these estimates, the following fields
are expected to come on stream and help support production:
 In 2013 the West Zaharya, East Dikirnis and West Abu Khadra fields onshore Egypt are
expected to commence production, contributing up to ~1kboe/d. We believe that this
incremental production should be enough to stabilize, if not marginally improve, Egyptian
production.
 In 2014 we expect the Kavarna East field offshore Bulgaria to be tied into the existing
Galata facilities with production ramping up to 1.2kboe/d net by 2015. However, this could
be delayed if the Galata field is reactivated. The field was previously shut-in during 2009 in
order to be converted into a gas storage facility however a recent flow test of the Galata-1
well of 17mmcf/d over a 24 hour period has led to conversations with the Bulgarian
authorities about recommencing production as early as next year.
Looking out to 2018 though Petroceltic should see a marked transformation in its production
profile as the Ain Tsila discovery comes on stream, contributing 15kboe/d net at plateau in
2019 based upon a residual 19.5% economic interest. It is worth noting that our mid 2018
start up compares to Petroceltic‟s current timetable which sees the field on stream in 4Q17.
Based on current oil and gas prices and production assumptions, we forecast operating cashflow generation to be more than sufficient to pay for the planned capex assuming that
Petroceltic is carried on its Ain Tsila development spend.
This should help deleverage the company and we expect the gearing ratio (ND / ND + E) to
fall from its current level of 18% to 12% by 2H15 (Fig 16). The graph shows operating cashflow dropping off in 2015, a direct consequence of falling Egyptian production.

Receivables from EGPC likely to keep the market on edge
We are not oblivious
to the Egyptian risk
but in our view it is
overplayed
presently
With ~80% of the enlarged groups production and ~50% of its cash-flow from operations
coming from onshore Egypt (1H12A), the market is likely to have some concern over the
Egyptian General Petroleum Company‟s (EGPC) ability to make full and timely payments for
oil and gas production. Unfortunately there is insufficient disclosure in Melrose Resources‟
accounts to determine the precise level and direction of Egyptian receivables and certainly
management and peers state that payments continue to be received in a timely fashion.
However, we believe that the fact that group trade receivable days have stayed at elevated
levels despite Egypt falling as a proportion of overall group revenue may be indicative of
some strain on the EGPC payment mechanism.
 While Melrose Resources does not explicitly break out “Trade receivables” by country, we
believe that group “Trade receivables” is a sufficient proxy and in Fig 17 below we have
looked back at the evolution of Melrose Resources‟ trade receivable days (on a lagged 6
month basis to compensate for the fact that Egyptian production is paid six month in
arrears) to get an indication of whether or not there has been any marked deterioration in
Egyptian payments. Certainly, the current level of ~200days is nothing new.
 However, one thing we would highlight is that as Egyptian revenues became a larger
proportion of group revenues in the 2007-2009 period trade receivable days also
increased. However, the reverse has not really been true. As Egyptian revenue has
become a diminishing part of group revenue since 1H10, trade receivable days have in fact
remained at elevated levels since the onset of the Egyptian Arab Spring in early 2011 and
it is for this reason we at least flag Egyptian receivables as a potential risk

 While we flag the above as a concern, we take confidence that Melrose Resources‟
management team say that they continue to receive payments inline with a pre-agreed
payment schedule and peer Circle Oil recently declared that trade receivables from EGPC
had diminished since June 30th despite higher prices and volumes. Recent media articles
stating that BP wants to invest US$10bn in Egypt over the next 5 years are further
reassurance of confidence in the new administration.
 In terms of the overall health of the EGPC this remains difficult to gauge. We do know
however that Egypt‟s Sovereign 5yr CDS spread over US Treasuries has fallen from
723bps at the end of June to 463bps presently. We believe this is on the back of US$3bn
of loans from the Islamic Development Bank and Qatar and ongoing talks with the IMF for
a US$4.8bn loan by year end. Furthermore, a planned US$18bn Qatari investment in
Egypt‟s tourism and industry projects over the next 5 years is, in our view, another vote of
confidence in the new Mursi administration.

Liquidity looks adequate but HSBC loan needs to be re-financed
As shown in Fig 18 below, based upon our forecast that Petroceltic farms out sufficient equity
in Ain Tsila to ensure a carry through to first gas, cash-flow from operations is sufficient to
meet the current capex profile of the enlarged group as well as US$100m of debt amortisation
which occurs between now and when the HSBC loan comes due in 1H14.

As part of the merger, Melrose‟s US$301m of debt drawn down under its existing US$385m
Senior Loan and Subordinated Loan Facility, presumably terminated under a Change of
Control clause - and is to be refinanced by a new 18-month term loan provided by HSBC. We
understand that the amount of debt available under this HSBC loan will amortise to US$200m
by the time it needs to be refinanced in 1H14 and, assuming this amortises at US$33m per
half year, this too can be met from existing cash balances and forecast cash-flow.
Petroceltic may look
for an increase in
the borrowing base
to finance a larger
retained economic
interest in Ain Tsila
12 September 2012
However at the analyst meeting coinciding with the merger announcement, it emerged that
Melrose Resources‟ existing debt facilities were conservatively based upon Egyptian and
Bulgarian field cash-flow until 2014. Therefore, we expect the HSBC US$300m facility to be
refinanced and expanded well before the 1H14 expiry, especially given the deleveraging
trajectory (highlighted previously in Fig 16) and the free cash-flow generation. Indeed, one
strategy that Petroceltic have indicated that may well pursue, but we do not presently model,
is to use the current cash-flow from operations and falling gearing ratio to leverage debt
against the Ain Tsila development. This would see Petroceltic retain a larger economic
interest in the development by executing a farm-out deal for only a partial carry.

As it stands, exploration is light
Visible E&A
accounts for just
1.7p of risked value
With drilling in the Mesaha block (Egypt) the only firm exploration well in the campaign (and
even here management has not provided a pre-drill resource estimate) we believe that the
shares will fail to price in much of the exploration upside in the near term. However, securing
drilling rigs should help reverse this and we would expect one of management‟s focuses to be
deploying the free cash-flow outlined previously into expanding the exploration portfolio.
In total, we believe that over the course of the next 12 months, Petroceltic may drill up to 6
exploration wells targeting a net unrisked 204mmboe. Combined these are worth 1.7p on a
risked basis and 12.8p on an unrisked basis (Fig19).

 Mesaha, Egypt: The Mesaha prospect is located in the frontier Mesha basin in southern
Egypt on the border with Sudan. 2D seismic and aerogravity studies show Mesaha to be a
rift basin consisting of two depocentres separated by an inta-basinal high. The Mesaha-1
well will be the first to be drilled in the basin, and will target Paleozoic aged sands with a
planned TD of 3,000m and gross well costs of ~US$16m. The nearest offset well is 400km
to the north and was drilled back in 1979 and therefore we believe there is likely to be
some uncertainty regarding hydrocarbon phase.. Melrose Resources have not given any
guidance to prospect size however partner Beach Energy suggest that structures are
consistent with prospect sizes >100mmboe.

 Kamchia, Bulgaria: The Kamchia prospect is located within the central area of the
offshore Galata block and has been mapped on 3D data shot in 2011. Melrose Resources‟
CPR, issued alongside the merger, estimate the prospect to hold 27bcf of recoverable gas
which would, in the case of success, be commercialised via a low cost tie back to the
Galata production facilities. Migration of hydrocarbons is the greatest risk while the CPR
also points to the possibility of compartmentalisation however it is the lowest risk of eight
prospects identified on the Galata block. Timing of the exploration well is dependent upon
securing a rig which would also be used to drill the two Romanian exploration wells
(below).
 Carpignano Sesia, Italy: Located in the onshore Po Valley area of Italy, the Carpignano
Sesia prospect is estimated in Petroceltic‟s CPR to hold 162mmb of oil on a gross „best
estimate‟ basis within both Jurassic and Triassic potential. The prospect is believed by
Petroceltic to be a direct analogue to ENI‟s Trecate Villafortuna field (~25km offset).
Petroceltic have previously talked of farming down its interest prior to drilling and in our
EMV we have assumed that the company farms-down its current 47.5% WI to a retained
23.75% WI. The well should take approximately 2-3 months to drill, suggesting a 2Q 13
result, however, with all Italian wells requiring both local and environmental permits, the
planned spud date in 1Q 13 cannot be confirmed.
 Muridava & Est Cobalcescu, Romania: There are no defined prospects on either the
Muridava or Est Cobalcescu concessions located within the Black Sea however 3D
seismic is ongoing over both. The licenses lie in water depth <100m are under-explored
and are considered to have both gas and oil potential across Pliocene to Cretaceous aged
sands (MRS have previously indicated 1-2tcfe of gross prospective resources across the
acreage). In March 2012, a 40% WI on the Muridava concession was farmed out to
Sterling Resources while a farm-out of a similar 40% WI to Beach Energy for the Est
Cobalcescu concession was announced in September 2012. Two exploration wells are
planned for 2013 and a further four in 2014 with well costs between US$16m-US$25m on
a gross basis.
 Shakrok, Kurdistan: Petroceltic plan to drill the Shakrok prospect within the Shakrok PSC
in 3Q12. 2D seismic interpretation is currently ongoing although Petroceltic‟s CPR
estimated the Shakrok prospect could hold ~650mmb of gross recoverable resources, and
would in our view, de-risk the 217mmb Pelewan prospect in the case of success. Given the
location of the PSC, we expect Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic formations all to be
targeted with the key risks being the hydrocarbon phase and porosity of reservoir.

resources of 2.1tcf of saleable gas, 113mmb of LPG and 70mmb of condensate.
Geologically, the field is Ordovician in age, a proven commercial reservoir in the nearby Tin
Fouye-Tabankort (Repsol/Total), Ohanet (BHP) and Tignuentourine (BP/Statoil) fields (Fig
22). With theses fields all on production at rates of 350-1,000mmscf/d we see the Ain Tsila
development concept as well tested, with production likely to use the Tin Fouye-Tabankot
export pipeline.
One of the variables though is that the reservoir is not homogenous, with Fig 23 showing
Petroceltic‟s interpretation of reservoir quality across the field. In the development concept put
forward by Petroceltic it is estimated that 20% of the development wells will contribute 80% of
the production with Region 1 likely to be the most prolific because of the High Permeability
High Fracture nature of the reservoir.

The Ain Tsila partners submitted a Formal Declaration of Commerciality for the field to the
Algerian Competent Authorities in early August having agreed a binding heads of terms with
Sonatrach for the marketing of gas sales. Once approved, the partners will be awarded a 30year exploitation permit for the field. Although the precise pricing details have not been
released, we believe that the heads of terms for the gas sales are in line with historical
Algerian contracts which are, within a range, linked to Brent oil prices. Ultimately we believe
US$7-US$10/mcf is likely to be attainable.
In terms of our development scenario, we are generally more conservative than company
guidance:
 Development capex of US$2.9bn, which equates to US$5.4/boe, ~15% ahead of
management‟s guidance of US$4.7/boe. US$1.6bn of capex is prior to first gas.
 Life of field opex of SU$2.5/boe, again ~20% ahead of management‟s guidance of US$2.1/boe.
 A gas sales price of US$9/mcf, although we think that with the contracts linked to oil prices,
realisations may be nearer US$10/mcf if crude stays above US$100/bbl.
 First production in mid 2018, 9 months later than currently planned with our 355mmscf/d
wet gas production plateau rate of 14 years in line with current management guidance

We believe that award of the exploitation permit mentioned above will also be the catalyst for
Petroceltic to formalise a second farm-out. We understand that Petroceltic has applied to
Sonatrach to allow potential farm-in partners access to its data and a farm-in is hoped for by
the end of this year.
We estimate
Petroceltic would
retain a 19.5%
economic interest if
carried to first gas
The Melrose Resources merger may allow Petroceltic to fund a larger residual economic
interest in the project by giving it easier access to debt capital. However, for the time being we
assume that Petroceltic seeks a full carry on development costs through to first gas. In order
to achieve this, and for the farm-in partner to still achieve a 15% IRR on the project, we estimate
that Petroceltic would have to farm-out a 37% economic interest. This would see Petroceltic‟s
economic interest in the license reduce from its current level of 56.625% to just 19.5%.
If our assumptions prove correct, as Fig 26 shows, the implied PSC valuation would have
increased 35% since the April 2011 Enel farm-out1.

However there are
farm-down
restrictions
Farming down a further 37% economic interest of the license though is complicated by the
fact that the PSC terms preclude Petroceltic from farming down more than 50% of its original
75% Working Interest (i.e. 37.5% of the overall licence interest) prior to first gas. To date it
has already farmed out an 18.375% WI to Enel, meaning that only a further 18.375% WI can
be farmed down with Sonatrach‟s consent. However, we understand that potential exists for
alternative deal structures to be employed that can mitigate this problem, including a binding
commitment to farm-down the additional equity interest upon first gas. Hence, we refer in this
document to Petroceltic‟s interest in Ain Tsila post farm-out as an Economic, rather than
Working, interest.
1
In April 2011 Petroceltic announced the sale of 18.375% WI in the Isarene PSC to Enel, one of Europe‟s
largest energy utilities and the second largest purchaser of Algerian gas. The terms of the farm-down saw
Petroceltic receive back costs and appraisal carry worth a combined US$54.5m, while Petroceltic expect to
receive ~US$25m of a contingent US$75m payment, with the exact level determined by the level of
recoverable hydrocarbon reserves approved by the Algerian Authorities in the Final Discovery Report.

Bulgaria – Extending production through near-field exploration
Galata block (100% WI)
Bulgaria accounts
for ~20% of current
production but 50%
of the cash-flows
Fig 27
The Galata block is located in the shallow waters of the Black Sea and contains both the
Kaliakra (23bcf) and Kavarna (19bcf) gas fields which in 1H12 produced 40mmscf/d
(~7kboe/d). The two fields (Fig 27) were discovered by Melrose Resources in 2007 and 2008
respectively and brought on stream in 2010 through subsea tie backs to the Galata platform,
a field which was developed by Melrose in 2004 and shut in during 2009 in order to convert it
to a gas storage facility.

In addition, the Galata block contains the Kavarna East (8bcf) discovery which was made in
2010 and which Melrose Resources expect to be tied into existing infrastructure in mid-2013,
something that for 2014 should see production stabilise (Fig 28). However, the company has
said it may defer this tie in as the Galata-1 well, following a 3 year shut in period, recently
tested 17mmscf/d. This has prompted discussion between Melrose Resources and the
Bulgarian authorities as to whether or not to abandon the gas storage development and
reactivate the field which has between 5-9bcf of recoverable resources remaining.
The 33bcf Kamchia
prospect is likely to
be drilled in early
2013
Following a new 3D seismic survey in 2011, Melrose Resources has also identified eight
exploration prospects within the acreage (Fig 29), with the largest, Kamchia, likely to be drilled
in early 2013. A further contingent well prior to February 2013 would then be required to meet
the minimum work commitments of the current 1st period extension after which a 2nd extension
to February 2015 may be elected. Sub faults within the structures leading to compartmentalism
are one of the principal risks highlighted in the CPR surrounding these prospects.

Gas price realisation are high, averaging US$8.15/mcf in 1H12 with the full year expected to
be US$8.3/mcf and up from US$7.3/mcf in 2011. Concession terms are also attractive,
operating under a 12% Royalty tax and a 10% Corporation Tax. Opex costs, given the
existing infrastructure are US$0.5/mcf (US$3/boe) while Melrose Resources has previously
guided to development costs of US$7.2-US$10.8/boe.

Egypt – Trying to stem the natural decline curve
El Mansoura and SE Mansoura Concessions (100% WI)
Egyptian production
comes from a total
of 11 fields
The El Mansoura and SE Mansoura Concessions are located onshore in the Nile Delta (Fig
31). Gas was first discovered on the concessions in December 2001 and currently there are
11 producing fields with 74mmboe of 2P reserves, of which ~83% is gas and the rest oil and
condensate. The most significant fields within the concession are West Khilala and West
Dikirnis, both within the El Mansoura concession, which combined account for 62% of the
overall 2P reserves (Fig 30).

Production peaked
at 40kboe/d in 2010
Production has fallen from its peak level of ~40kboe/d in 2010 (Fig 32) and in 1H12
production averaged 21kboe/d (103mmscf/d of gas and 3.58kb/d of liquids) as production has
been choked back to deal with increasing water and sand production.
Melrose Resources is pursuing various methods to help delay the natural decline of the
concessions. In late 2012/2013 the company plans to install compression units on the West
Khilala field while the potential for gas-reinjection to maintain reservoir pressure is being
considered for the West Dikirnis field. High angle/horizontal development wells for both fields
are also planned for 2013. Furthermore, the West Zaharya, East Dikirnis and West Abu
Khadra fields are also planned to be brought on stream in 2013 however they are expected
by Melrose Resources to deliver only 1kboe/d of incremental production.
All in all then, we see scope for Egyptian production to at least stabilise, if not show very
modest growth, over the next 1-2 years.

Both concessions operate under PSC terms with the Egyptian General Petroleum
Corporation the governmental representative within the PSC. Melrose Resources is able to
recover 25% of its exploration and development expenditure while 100% of opex is cost
recoverable. Cost oil/profit oil is split 35%/65% (contractor/government) while Melrose
Resources‟ share of profit oil is between 15%-18% dependent upon production level.
In terms of sales pricing, oil is sold at international pricing while gas is sold at fixed prices of
US$2.65-US$2.95/mcf.
Looking at the exploration upside within the concession, the Senergy CPR has identified
41mmboe of prospective resources across 8 prospects with Chances of Success up to 42%

Shareholders will
have to wait until at
least 2014 before
Elsa’s
commerciality is
assessed
The B.R268.RG permit is located offshore in the Central Adriatic Sea contains the Elsa field,
discovered by Agip in 1992. According to the CPR issued alongside the Melrose Resources
merger, the Elsa discovery holds 95mmb of oil on a best estimate basis (34mmb P90;
187mmb P10) while the Elsa West prospect in the same permit holds prospective resources
of 54mmb. Elsa is potentially an important part of the Petroceltic asset portfolio, worth 2.2p
risked; 9.5p unrisked. However given questions surrounding its commerciality and time-line to
drilling in order to prove this, both outlined below, its value is excluded from our target price.
The original discovery well (Elsa-1) encountered relatively heavy oil of 12-15°API quality,
however Petroceltic believes that the large extent of the interval tested may have
compromised the test results, especially with the nearby Miglianico field containing 34-37°API
oil (a similar sand fan from the Apulian platform margin).
The company was planning to drill the Elsa-2 appraisal well in 2010 with the objective of
demonstrating commercial flow rates and determining oil quality. However, the
implementation of Legislative Decree 128 in August 2010 in response to the Macondo
disaster froze drilling within 5 nautical miles of the Italian coastline and activity on the license
stopped.
This Decree has recently been overturned for grandfathered contracts signed before its
enactment (although an incremental 3% royalty is to be levied to cover improved monitoring
of marine environmental protection) and we expect Petroceltic will now look to put in place the
environmental permits over the 2012/13 period as well as secure a suitable rig for possible
appraisal drilling in 1H14.
We understand that gross well costs are likely to stand at ~US$35m for which Petroceltic
would be liable for ~US$15m as the 2010 farm-out to Orca Exploration sees Petroceltic
partially carried on the appraisal well.
In Fig 36 and 37 below we highlight the model economics for Elsa assuming a production
profile that achieves first oil in 2018 and peak production rate of 25kb/d (and 13% average
decline rate). Based on these assumptions, our model generates a US$17.3/bbl NPV10.

As discussed earlier, until the planned appraisal well provides firmer production rates, it is
difficult to generate definitive economics, however, thanks to the favourable Italian tax terms
(31% corporate tax rate and 7% government royalty for offshore oil discoveries) the project is
likely to be NPV positive even at much lower production rates than our assumptions (ceteris
paribus, our break even NPV10 is at 10kboe/d peak rate and 19% average decline).
Carisio permit (47.5% WI) – ENI (47.5% WI, op), Costruzioni Condotte (5% WI)
The Carisio permit, operated by ENI and within the onshore Po Valley area of Italy, contains
the Carpignano Sesia (formerly Rovasenda) 162mmboe prospect which has stacked
objectives across Jurassic and Triassic objectives. Petroceltic believe the prospect to be a
direct analogue to ENI‟s Trecate Villafortuna field (~25km offset) and is the most advanced of
five Mesazoic and Tertiary mapped leads and prospects on the permit.
Despite an extremely bureaucratic environmental permitting process, Petroceltic is optimistic
that ENI will be able to spud the well in 1H13 which will cost an estimated US$40-US$50m
and take 4-6 months to drill. Petroceltic is conducting a farm-out process prior to drilling in
order to manage its financial exposure to the well. This is the largest exploration prospect
(0.7p/sh / 4.6p/sh unrisked) in our E&A risked upside included in the target price after
assuming a farm down to 23.8% for a one well carry

Shakrok & Dinarta PSCs (16% WI) – Hess (64% WI, op), KRG (20% WI)
Prospective

the two PSCs
Petroceltic entered the Kurdistan region of Iraq in July 2011 bidding alongside Hess for the
Dinarta and Shakrok PSCs after it became evident that the Kurdistan Regional Government
(KRG) was unlikely to grant operatorship of PSCs to companies the size of Petroceltic
The PSCs are located in the more mountainous part of Kurdistan, with the Dinarta block
adjacent to MOL‟s (and Gulf Keystone‟s) Akri-Bijeel block which has found heavy oil in the
Jurassic formation while the Shakrok block is further to the south east and adjacent to
ExxonMobil‟s Betwata block.

The Dinarta block has three obvious surface anticlines: Shireen (660mmb), Chinara
(567mmb) and Bradost (533mmb) which are on trend with oil discoveries at Shaikan, Atrush
and Swar Tika. The Shakrok block has two surface anticlines: Shakrok (650mmb) and
Pelewan (217mmb).
Petroceltic has committed to spend in the region of US$90m in Phase 1 which is its share of
signature and other bonuses, 750km of 2D seismic across the two PSCs and an exploration
well on each. We expect that 2D seismic to be completed in 4Q12 with interpretation likely to
finish in early 2013 which should lead to finalised well locations.
Petroceltic envisage the first exploration well to target the 650mmb Shakrok prospect in 2H13
and we foresee an approximate drill time of ~6 months.

Romania – Provides shallow water exploration potential
Muridava (40% WI, op); Est Cobalcescu (40% WI, op)
Following the recent
farm-out to Beach
Energy, we expect
prospect definition
in 4Q to be the next
catalyst
Melrose Resources entered offshore Romania is in 2011 through the country‟s 10th licensing
round when it was awarded an 80% WI in the Muridava and Est Cobalcescu shallow water
blocks (WD <100m), with Petromar Resources taking the remaining 20% WI. Prior 2011,
Melrose tried to enter into Romania by farming into two Sterling Resources‟ blocks (Pelican
XIII and Midia XV blocks, containing the Ana and Doina gas fields). The deal was announced
in December 2008 but on 1st November 2010 the companies announced the farm-out deal
had been terminated with no explanation given as to why.
On 22nd March 2012, Melrose Resources farmed down a 40% WI in the Muridava block to
Sterling Resources and on 10th September 2012 followed this up with a farm down of a 40%
WI in the Est Cobalcescu block to Beach Energy for US$4.8m (past costs and carry on the
recently completed 3D acquisition). In both blocks, Melrose Resources retains a 40% WI and
operatorship.
Based upon 2D seismic over the two blocks Melrose Resources has publically declared it
sees 1-2Tcfe prospective resources. However, no discrete prospect sizes have yet been
disclosed. Further prospect definition is likely to emerge over the coming months though as
Melrose Resources has recently completed a 1,930sqkm 3D seismic shoot over both licenses
which is currently undergoing interpretation.

but for which there is limited data) while nearby acreage operated by Petrom OMV contains
the Lebada oil and gas fields while Sterling Resources has discovered both the Ana and
Doina gas fields (345bcf contingent resources). Perhaps more high profile though, was the
exploration success of ExxonMobil earlier in the year with the deepwater Domino-1 well which
encountered 71m of net gas pay and is believed by ExxonMobil to hold between 1.5-3.0tcf of
recoverable resources.
Similar to Bulgaria, Romania has attractive commercial terms with a maximum 13.5% royalty
rate and Corporation Tax of 16%. On a per unit basis, we would expect discoveries to have a
similar development and opex cost as the Romanian fields outlined above. In terms of gas
pricing, we also note that Romania is undergoing a liberalisation of the gas market in-line with
an agreement with the European Commission and the IMF. Social tariff subsidies are being
withdrawn from both Industrial and Residential customers over the 2013-17 timeframe while
producers will also be able to access export pricing.

Combined capital structure
We highlight in Fig 42 the key features of the combined capital structure. The main items in
the capital structure will include;
 US$300m HSBC loan. Alongside with the merger announcement, PCI and MRS have
announced that they agreed with HSBC an 18-month term loan. This is to refinance the
existing MRS Senior Loan and Subordinated Loan Facility of US$385m of which US$301m
is drawn (paying 3.4% blended interest) and which presumably is terminated under a
Change of Control clause. The new loan facility, arranged by HSBC (one of the nine banks
in current facility syndicate) will reduce to US$200m by the time it expires in 1H14.
 US$108m cash resources. The cash balance consists of US$54.5m PCI cash (as
reported in the 1H12 results), US$37.7m MRS cash (as reported during 1H12 results) net
of the US$8.6m special dividend announced by MRS in the merger document (to be paid
in 2H12) and US$25m contingent payment to PCI from Enel as part of the Ain Tsila farm-in
agreement (if confirmed to be paid in 2H12)
 4,388,134,582 basic shares outstanding. Based on the announced 17.6 exchange ratio
(PCI shares for every MRS) the 114,689,178 MRS‟ basic shares outstanding will convert
into 2,018,529,533 PCI shares, equivalent to 46% of the combined basic shares
outstanding. Pre-merger, PCI basic shares outstanding were 2,369,605,049
 304,478,873 options and warrants outstanding. Of these, 67,878,008 are newly issued
PCI‟s options and warrants from the conversion of 3,856,705 MRS‟ options and warrants
(with an average strike price of 262p/sh, or 14.9p/sh once converted into PCI options and
warrants). The remaining 210,337,357 are PCI‟s options and warrants (with an average
strike price of 8.1p/sh). The combined fully diluted shares outstanding is 4,692,613,455 of
which, original fully diluted PCI‟s shares are 2,606,205,914, equivalent to 56% of the
overall shares outstanding

the outstanding shares, will also be the largest shareholder of the combined entity with a
23.4% equity interest. However, based on the merger announcement, he will be subject to
a specific “Relationship Agreement” that includes, among other things, a lock-up period,
the mandatory favourable vote for 24 months on specific topics such as capital raises

We have updated our Melrose Resources model for 1H12 results and made changes to our
NAV as we have reviewed the producing assets following the issuance of the CPR in
conjunction with the merger with Petroceltic. Our Core NAV increased by 5% to 127p/sh from
121p/sh, principally impacted by the following changes:
 Changes to our Egypt asset model to reflect CPR reserves split and production profile. We
update our model for the reported EURs for oil and gas and model the production decline
to include the production contribution from the West Zaharya, East Dikirnis and West Abu
Khadra fields expected to come on stream in 2013 (61p/sh positive impact).
 Changes to our Bulgaria asset model to reflect realized gas prices reported in 1H12 and
production profile provided with the CPR. We have also included the Galata field among
our undeveloped assets following the results from flow test results at Galata-1 well
(17mmcf/d) and potential to re-activate production from the field (9p/sh negative impact).
 Updated Net debt and G&A based on 1H12 report (46p/sh negative impact)
Our RENAV declines 20% to 148p from 184p impacted by updated prospect sizes as per the
CPR, Romania farm downs and changes in Bulgaria and Egypt modelling assumptions.
We have also increased our Target Price 12% to 136p/sh from 121p/sh to align it with
Petroceltic merger deal terms of 17.6 PCI shares per MRS shares and the announced
4.7p/sh special dividend. Based on Petroceltic‟s 10th September 2012 closing share price of
7.5p/sh the derived Melrose share price would be 136p/sh (PCI‟s closing share price
multiplied by 17.6 plus 4.7p).
