Price Performance

Growth Potential

  • Trading on undemanding valuation and below our price target – recent issues and potential ongoing impacts from these issues are likely to be in the current valuation.
  • Leveraged to the tight East Coast gas market – leverage improves as contracts roll over.
  • Execution improves – better than performance at Waitsia, Perth Basin exploration and Otway production.
  • Improving shareholder returns via a clearly defined capital management strategy (including franking credits available to be distributed to shareholders) – dividend yield could materially improve for BPT.
  • Higher than expected commodity prices.
  • Strong balance sheet
  • Potential M&A activity (although major shareholder Seven Group could present challenges for any proposed transaction).

Key Risks


  • Execution risk – Drilling and exploration risk. Unable to resolve the issue at Western Flank, leading to long-term downgrades to key estimates for the project.
  • Commodity price risk – movement in oil & gas price will impact uncontracted / re-contracting volumes.
  • Regulatory risk – such as changes in tax regimes which adversely impact profitability.
  • M&A risk – value destructive acquisition in order to add growth assets.
  • Financial risk – potentially deeply discounted equity raising to fund operating & exploration activities should debt markets tighten up due external macro factors.
  • Currency risk
