TGL's 2010 Focus: Nukhul

GERRY DONNELLY, FirstEnergy Capital (08/06/2010)
"TransGlobe Energy will continue on its exploration and development drilling campaign focused on ramping up production to meet stated targets with particular focus on the Nukhul play in the West Gharib Concession in Egypt for the remainder of 2010. Capital expenditure for 2010 has been increased from US$63MM to US$71MM with US$60MM now allocated to Egypt. Further drilling on the Arta Field could double petroleum in-place figures, albeit recovery factors are lower than we anticipated. Although Q2 production was behind expectations, production guidance for 2010 is maintained with a further possible increase in 2011, possible reserves bookings at the East Ghazalat Block in Egypt by year-end and depending on appraisal wells results an early production system could be put in place in 2011. We have trimmed our target price to C$8.50/share, in line with our new risked NAV. We maintain our Market Perform recommendation, which implies a return of 8% to our current target price."
