This morning Cobalt International Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CIE) announced a significant oil discovery at its North Platte prospect in the Gulf of Mexico. Analysts at Goldman Sachs said they view the announcement as a material positive.
"The North Platte success derisks multiple prospects in the higherrisk/higher reward Lower Tertiary area proximate to the discovery by confirming presence of a quality reservoir and corroborates CIE's optimism on its Inboard Lower Tertiary concept," said Brian Singer.
"Assuming 100% probability of success on CIE's 400-850 MMBOE resource estimate would imply about $5-$12/share of upside to our net asset value/target. CIE still needs to do more drilling to define the ultimate size, and as such we do not expect shares to immediately reflect 100% prospectivity," added Singer.
Goldman Sachs has a Buy rating on Cobalt International Energy (NYSE: CIE) with a price target of $29.00.
