Assumptions

  • Tested rate: 1.58 MMSCFD

  • Sustainable rate (downtime adjusted): 1.3 MMSCFD

  • POL share (25%): 0.325 MMSCFD

  • Annual gas volume: ~119 MMSCF

  • Gas price: PKR 3,000/MMBtu

  • Royalty (~12.5%): Net PKR 2,625/MMBtu

  • Corporate tax: ~29%

  • Operating costs: Low

Result

  • Annual revenue (POL share): ~PKR 312 million

  • Estimated net profit: ~PKR 220 million

  • Shares outstanding: ~215 million

  • EPS uplift: ~PKR 1 per share

This is not upside optionality.
This is base-case accretion.

Gas wells do not need to impress Twitter.
They need to pay dividends.
