Is Ring Energy a good Investment?
The following table shows a sensitivity analysis with the two most important variables for Ring Energy: WTI price and production. We estimate that spending around $40MM CAPEX per year, Ring Energy can maintain a production rate around 10’500-11’000 Boepd. Regarding the oil price, we see that if WTI is above $50, Ring Energy can be a very profitable investment. It is noteworthy that we are assuming all the warrants are executed (price over $0.8).
Reserves of Ring Energy
Assuming a daily production of 11Kboe, Ring Energy would consume roughly 4MM barrels per year. It means that Ring Energy has proved developed reserves for at least the next ten years. If Ring Energy spend the next 3 years to pay down its debt, it means that it would have another 7 years to make money exclusively for its shareholders.
Ring Energy Credit Facility (Debt)
In 2019, Ring Energy acquired the Northwest Shelf assets, incurring a $375MM debt. The interest is Libor +4.25% payable in 5 years. It was a very risky movement and with the arrival of Covid-19, the oil prices plummeted. At that point, Ring Energy stock price was at $0.5. Ring Energy only had 40% of its production hedged and the future of the company was very dark.
Ring Energy tried to sell the Delaware basin assets by $30MM, but after 6 months waiting for the buyer, the sell was cancelled. Consequently, Ring Energy did an AK, going from 67MM shares to 127MM( if all warrants are exercised). Ring Energy paid down the debt from $360MM to the $315MM it has outstanding right now.
Ring Energy will finish 2021 (as 90% of its production is hedged) with a debt around $260MM and 2.5 years to pay it down. It can happen if the WTI price is over $57. So basically, investing in Ring Energy is a way of leveraging this bet.
