Oil & Gas Virtual Investor Conference summary
5 Nov, 2026Portfolio and investment model
Frontier exploration portfolio across Namibia, Uruguay and Angola, with seven Namibian assets, two Uruguayan blocks and an initial Angola position.
Partner-led, capital-efficient model: industry operators fund much of the work while Sintana retains exposure to potential upside and can hold assets for the long term.
Portfolio diversification across basins, resource types and operators reduces reliance on a single well or project outcome.
Market update: ~560 million shares outstanding, market cap ~CAD 200 million (US$150 million), healthy cash and zero debt; partner funding covers much of the capital need.
Namibia and Mopane
PEL 83 is operated by TotalEnergies, which acquired 40% from Galp and began a three-well appraisal and exploration program; FID is targeted by 2028, with first oil potentially in the early 2030s.
Galp drilled five exploration wells with a 100% success rate; published figures cite 1.3 billion barrels of 3C resource, up to 10 billion barrels of oil in place and a test flow rate of 14,000 bbl/day.
The 4.9% indirect PEL 83 interest is fully carried; TotalEnergies' stated development concept targets 200,000 bbl/day at under $20/barrel CapEx and OpEx.
The rig is on site, with drilling underway; the exploration well is expected to reach target reservoirs around mid-December, targeting resource expansion.
Chevron plans the Nabba 1X exploration well on PEL 90 before year-end; QatarEnergy and Equinor are partners. A transaction exchanged the prior interest for long-term cash payments and royalty exposure, with no further capital requirement.
Uruguay and near-term catalysts
Chevron operates AREA OFF-1 with a 60% interest; a second season of 3D seismic acquisition is gearing up, with processed results expected before year-end.
AREA OFF-3 is 100% owned, under technical evaluation and in an ongoing farm-out process; basin-floor fan leads may extend from a neighboring block, and unitization is permitted subject to regulatory process.
Uruguay is fully licensed to majors and multinationals; APA and ENI plan an ultra-deepwater well toward the end of next year, the first new drilling in Uruguay since 2016.
Management highlighted PEL 83 drilling and reserve enhancement, PEL 90 exploration drilling, and Uruguay seismic, drilling and corporate activity as leading value drivers over the coming 12 months.
