Texas energy company Talos Energy Inc. (TALO:NYSE) reported plans to drill a new exploitation well, according to a Roth MKM research note.

Talos Energy Inc. (TALO:NYSE) recently revealed plans to drill a new lower-risk exploitation prospect in the second half of 2024 (2H24) in a new slide deck released on June 4, 2024.

Roth MKM analyst Leo Mariani, in a research note published the same day, maintained a Buy rating on Talos Energy and a 12-month price target of US$17.00, citing the company's improving balance sheet, high oil cut, low production declines, below-average valuation, and material potential upside from its carbon capture business.

"TALO put out a new slide deck this morning, and the company revealed that it plans to drill a new lower-risk exploitation prospect in 2H24," Mariani stated. "The Ewing Bank 953 prospect is estimated to hold 18 MMBoe of gross reserves (TALO 33% WI), and it has the potential to produce 8,000-11,000 Boepd if it is successful, and it would be a subsea tieback."

The analyst believes that the announcement of the new exploitation well will likely result in a slight positive reaction for Talos Energy's stock compared to its peers. The Ewing Bank 953 prospect, with its estimated gross reserves and potential production rates, could contribute significantly to the company's future growth and cash flow generation.

Mariani's US$17 price target on Talos Energy shares is based on a 3.3x multiple of Roth MKM's 2025 debt-adjusted cash flow (DACF) estimate, which assumes US$80 WTI oil and US$3.00 Henry Hub (HH) gas prices. "Impediments to our price target include lower-than-expected commodity prices and failure to hit production targets," the analyst noted.
