SacOil Shares Growth Driver
The group has sustained losses in recent years as a result of the challenging environment within the oil industry, but returned to profitability for the financial year ended 29 February 2016. Data indicated a R39.6 million profit, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains on the rand, restructuring benefits and the non-recurrence of a R420.2 million write-down in the previous year.
The main focus for the group recently has been the development of the Lagia oil field in Egypt, culminating in the targeted peak production of 1000 barrels per day. Production today has been lowered to suit the depressed oil price environment, and is forecast to be around 650 barrels going forward. The group will focus on optimising operations with minimal additional capital expenditure.
The current year has seen the Group return to profitability in a challenging environment. For the year ended 29 February 2016 the Group reported a profit of R39.6 million (2015: loss of R277.0 million) as it mainly benefited from the continued weakening of the Rand, the gain arising from the reorganisation of Semliki and the non-recurrence of the one-off write-down of R420.2 million related to the restructuring of the Group’s portfolio of assets in the prior year.
The rest of the group’s assets are at various stages in the exploration and licensing phases.
SacOil Group Investor Tip
Over the longer term SacOil will continue to buy into its existing asset portfolio of in Egypt, Malawi, Botswana and DRC, with the Lagia Oil Field expected to yield sustainable future production. Future work programmes in the DRC, Malawi and Botswana will be focused on identifying the existence of sedimentary basins, necessary for the generation and accumulation of hydrocarbons.

The forecast is that will still be several years before SacOil share price takes off and the majority of investors view SacOil shares as a potential buy.
