Morgan Stanley put out an update following their week spent on the East Coast with CEO Dr. Hession. Here is the road ahead as MS sees it:
Bigger picture upside. Valuing IOC to a similar sized interest in PNGLNG (XOM's project) would equate to
~$10Bn post start-up based upon various asset comparables vs. IOC's current $1.5Bn enterprise value. There is
potential for IOC to achieve that valuation in 2021/2022, at startup of their similarly sized project which would
imply over 460% upside (assuming $3Bn of project debt attributable to IOC). There are clear execution risks yet
therein lies the upside price in IOC's equity. Funding of IOC’s equity interest in the facility (25% of $4Bn,
although we see downside to this figure given the current deflationary cycle) can be fully achieved via Total’s
resource and FID payments. Additional upside can be achieved by converting other resource and prospects into
projects, and completing a similar monetization cycle to the Total agreement in which they are currently
progressing in.
What’s next and when? Ant 4 results are expected in mid-October. Resource upside will be driven by the
extent of dolomitization to GWC (+.5Tcfe). The sidetrack hitting the reservoir higher provides some modest
uplift. Ant 6 should spud, drill, complete and test in 4Q15-1Q16. The key for Ant 6 will be whether the rock
quality is lower, as assumed, or dolomitized,like the periphery of the reef. We expect 2 appraisals of Elk/Antelope
as it relates to PAC LNG payments (1Q16). Additionally, we expect one appraisal by TOT and another one by IOC
with results of both by mid-year 2016. We also expect downside to 2016 capex guidance into year-end as IOC
shifts to non-op and see potential for exploration/appraisal deals over the several quarters to fund forward
appraisal/exploration activity.
LNG pessimism. We expect near-term pressure in the spot LNG market as new supply start-ups likely exceed
demand during the 2016-2017 period. However, we also believe in the long-term demand and believe the
lowest cost projects will proceed as selected by consumers. Further, PNG is highlighted as one of the 2 primary
growth projects within Total’s portfolio post 2020. Hence, the combination of one of the lowest cost greenfield
projects, globally, and a motivated partner, should result in execution of IOC/TOT's project. While investors will
likely discount the value of the project, given macro headwinds (up to ~50%), we believe there is currently no
value attributable to this project post Total payment based upon our resource estimate. Current actual and
perceived M&A interested in PNG-related assets corroborate a view that Majors see significant, much higher
than implied in IOC's equity.
Triceratops discovery. Triceratops 3 appraisal well flowed gas at 17.1 mmscf/d (and 200 bbl/d of condensate).
Given the lower porosity (4-6%), these results have positive implications for flow rates of lower porosity zones
such as Elk, and other prospects. The company estimates contingent resource of 1Tcfe, more than double GLJ’s
400Bcfe prior estimate. Triceratops field can potentially be tied-back to an LNG development, adding resource
potential to their core Elk-Antelope field. Next steps for IOC will be to monetize the resource with discussions
currently ongoing with interested parties.
Cash burn. There has been concern around IOC's liquidity given TOT’s cash payment is not expected to be
received until mid-2016 and the sector's focus on balance sheets given the current down cycle. In our view,
however, liquidity risk is minimal as we forecast IOC can fund operations through 2016 independent of the
resource payment. IOC has fulfilled its drilling commitments across its acreage, thus we expect their drilling
activity outside Elk/Antelope to decrease significantly until receipt of the TOT cash payment. For 2016, we expect
capex to be <$200MM and back-end loaded. Additionally, after having handed over operatorship to TOT, we
anticipate G&A to be materially reduced in 2016. All in, we estimate cash use of $200-250MM (capex + G&A).
This is versus current liquidity of $192MM cash at 2Q15 and an undrawn credit facility of $300MM.
Monetizing assets. IOC plans on monetizing its current three discoveries: Triceratops (1Tcfe P50 estimate),
Bobcat (1.5 Tcfe P50 estimate) and Raptor (5.5 Tcfe P50 estimate). Management revealed that discussion with
interested parties (including TOT and XOM) are currently ongoing and expect to close a deal similar to TOT's
Elk/Antelope - with a combination of cash payment and appraisal/development carry. We believe continued
positive exploration and appraisal results could attract a third Major oil company (other than TOT and XOM) to
enter PNG with LNG ambitions. In our view, this would increase price competition and demand for any IOC
discoveries and increase monetization pace and potential.

Dr. Hession was in NYC this week ahead of the Pope. The latter wears red and white, the former wears pink.
A poster whose handle is Dr. Wu, put this up at SHU then took it down.
"IOC - Hession in NYC
Friend of mine met with Hession in NYC. Here's a few comments he sent me.
Triceratops gas water was 288 meters deeper, flow rate of 17 sqf/d could have been 24
Had tight rock but right equip/techniques resulted in good flow from less porous rock, which is has impt pos implications for reefs at EA, Ant South, Raptor, and other structures near by
World waking up to PNG. Many think Santo's 13% stake in PNGLNG is worth its market cap. Believes IOC's 30% of Papua LNG when complete will be worth $10 bil+
Papua LNG has a 22% IRR - unheard of in LNG projects. It’s all about the costs.. Total very excited. Top 3 project for them
Watching expenses carefully going into recert. Cash flow fine; $240 mil cash plus $300 mil LOC less cvt paydown. Have access to debt financing if need it but won't. No drilling obligations in 2016. Carried on Ant South. Drilling cap ex could literally be zero, esp if Raptor gets carried.
On recert, his team will work with reservoir engineers for a supreme understanding of EA reefs, porosity etc.
Recent seismic has identified 3-4 excellent prospects as good as Ant South (Mule Deer?). Could some tie into EA? Unclear yet
Raptor seismic suggests growing in size. Confident now have right equip, people, techniques to apply. May not drill this year, evaluating lots of interest in Raptor for carry deal
Will not delay recert payment to drill Ant 7. Talking with Total about ways to drill it, and get paid without delaying any aspects of the project
IMPT: UBS Aug report suggesting avg 9.5 Tcf GIP was a P90 #, which was unclear in the report. Impt because IOC gets paid on P50 which of course is a higher GIP #. Plus UBS # was initial Ant 5 and before Ant 4 and other information. Believes Arun's 94% recovery is a real analogue. So P50 will be higher than 10 Tcf with possibly 90% recovery (sounding more to me like GLJ is closer to being right, in the 9 Tcf ballpark, implying a $1.5-1.7 bil payment at recert)
OSH/Pac LNG recert is the first EA mark and set for March-April. Had divergent interests before, but now both want high #s. OSH now needs to highlight EA value for Woodside discussions."

The new President, Hession, made a deal with Total to sell them a portion of the NG in PRL 15 and also be co-operators of a new LNG plant to be built, if the additional appraisal wells verify that the NG previously found, is actually there and can be produced to the extent that it could provide for the requirements of the new plant.
The upfront payment came up short of what the market was expecting due to the fact that Hession stated it would be a good deal. The 30% of the plant IOC will partner with TOT was also a factor, as this had to reduce the take of TOT. Had IOC sold NG to XOM and then to TOT, the stock would likely be over 100. Right now, it is below 50 on the close today and may fall further, however, there could be a short-term rise, as it is really oversold, having been nearly cut in half since the deal was announced DEC. 6th. IMO, they should have been satisfied to just sell the NG and taken the large payouts. The LNG plant may not operate until 2020, another reason for the stock cratering. They should really try to get the PNG gov't. to agree to a FLNG. They could move the ships to each prospect as they petter out and their availabilty would cut years off the NG sales. they could get ships in a couple of years to handle a smaller volume.
