Investment summary
Elk Petroleum’s (ELK) acquisition of a 63.7% operated interest in the Aneth Rocky Mountain CO2 EOR project from Resolute Energy has transformed it into one of the largest producers on the ASX. Our forecasts and valuation are under review following ELK’s recent fundraising and a fire at Train 3 of the Lost Cabin gas plant in which the company has a non-operated interest.

Industry outlook
Alongside field operators Denbury and ConocoPhillips, ELK management has identified numerous field optimisation opportunities at Grieve and Madden with high risk-adjusted returns (many in the 50–100% IRR range). ELK’s current focus is on streamlining the company’s capital structure and reducing its cost of debt.
