Not sure if anyone has been paying attention to the European Natural Gas crisis, but prices have hit a level that I always thought was impossible to achieve. January pricing is at $73 an MCF, equivalent to $460 USD a barrel of oil equivalent!
https://www.ueex.com.ua/eng/exchange-quotations/natural-gas/medium-and-long-term-market/
We saw the Uzhgorod asset sale close this week, which gives me hope that the subsidiary sale should also close. Reason I believe this will occur is because Burisma is making a fortune right now with their 65% ownership and payback on the acquisition will be quick.
Cub Energy made $1.4 million USD in profit last quarter and the average pricing was $7.66 an MCF. The average from October on has been over $20+ an MCF, this can be seen on page 4 of KUB’s December 2021 Company Presentation:
http://www.cubenergyinc.com/_resources/corporate-presentation.pdf
? Q1-Q3 2021 average sales price of $7.66/Mcf and a corporate netback of $3.82/Mcfe(1)
? October/November sale price has been closer to $20.00/Mcf
As well, Cub Energy started selling Natural Gas from their RK field rather than electricity because of this. From the financial results press release:
• The power business generated 5,546 megawatts an hour from the Jenbacher power units in western Ukraine for the period of commencement in mid-May, 2021, to Sept. 18, 2021, at an average price of $71 per MWh. Due to the recent material increase in natural gas prices and no parallel increase in power prices, the company has increased its sales of natural gas at the RK field and temporarily suspended the power business as of Sept. 18, 2021, as this strategy is more profitable at present. The company will continue to monitor the prices of both commodities and utilize whichever one produces the better return for shareholders.

Notes:
Pro-rata petroleum and natural gas revenue is a non-IFRS measure that adds the Company's petroleum and natural gas revenue earned in the respective periods to the Company's 35% equity share of the KUB-Gas natural gas sales that the Company has an economic interest in.
Capital expenditures includes the purchase of property, plant and equipment and the purchase of exploration and evaluation assets. Pro-rata capital expenditures are a non-IFRS measure that adds the Company's capital expenditures in the respective periods to the Company's 35% equity share of the KUB-Gas and 50% equity share of CNG Holdings capital expenditures that the Company has an economic interest in.
For purposes of the pro-rata netback calculation, the Company's profit from gas trading is added to the revenue of Kub-Gas to better reflect the true natural gas price achieved and field netback.
Reader Advisory
With the current cash resources, negative working capital, fluctuating commodity prices, currency fluctuations, reliance on a limited number of customers, the Company may not have sufficient cash to continue the exploration and development activities. These matters raise significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations as they become due.

What does this sudden news release mean for Cub Energy:
1) Cub Energy has de-risked itself politically, as mentioned in the news. This company was getting a huge discount before because of fears that Rebels/Russians would takeover their assets in East. This happened to some assets in 2014, so the fear is justified. This is no longer an issue.
2) Cub Energy has also de-risked itself from a company balance sheet standpoint. Yes the cash flow will be reduced, but who cares about revenue if the liabilities/debt are too high. Natural Gas rates are very good right now, but Cub Energy has gone from almost 1000boed in 2018 to now around half of that. That means even with $500k USD profits, cleaning the books would take several years, assuming gat prices stay above $6 an MCF for the next 5 years, which there’s no certainty.
3) Cub Energy has also sold the Uzhgorod lease for $970,000USD, which means it’s only asset is the RK Field and this is more a utility asset then a regular natural gas producing field.
So what does this all boil down to once both asset sales are complete and we are left with cash and the RK field. Lets take the last quarterly results and combine them with what we are expecting from this deal.
- Last quarter came out 2 weeks ago and the Assets were at $10.8 million USD($5.14 million being cash) and liabilities were $10.93 million.
- Uzhgorod will add $970,000 USD in cash once the deal is completed
- Deal announced today worth $10.6 million USD will reduce the debt by $8 million and leave around $2.6 million USD in cash
So let’s start adding these up. We don’t know RK’s value, but the company wrote off over $10 million from that asset, so I’m guessing that will be added back, plus the generators that were purchased as assets. That being said, lets assume for a minute that only cash is left on the assets, which is $5.14 million.
CASH: $5.14M(current cash on hand) + $0.97M(Uzhgorod) + $2.6M(KUB Gas Sale) = $8.71 million USD or $11 million CAD based on today’s rates. That works out to $0.035c CAD per share just in cash. No value for RK added. Most juniors trade at 2X cash just FYI.
DEBT/LIABILITIES: $10.93M –$8M = $2.93M left in Debt/Liabilities. This is clearly mentioned on the news release.
So what are we left with in the end, and this is a rough estimate, as well as assuming both deals close:
- $8.71 million USD in CASH
- $2.93M million USD in Debt/Liabilities
RK Field which is worth quite a bit. Last quarter it cash flowed $178K USD for only half a quarter, so it would be safe to say that $300K cash flow per quarter is realistic, or around $1.2 million USD per year. $178K was revenue from electricity sales and cost on the books show $67K USD, so the margins are good.

Cub Energy to sell Kubgas stake for $10.6M (U.S.)
2021-09-07 08:12 ET - News Release
Mr. Patrick McGrath reports
CUB ENERGY ANNOUNCES LETTER AGREEMENT FOR SALE OF 35% INTEREST IN KUBGAS
Cub Energy Inc. has entered into a letter agreement dated Sept. 3, 2021, with its partner to sell its 35-per-cent interest in Kubgas Holdings Ltd. The sale is for a deemed consideration of approximately $10.6-million (U.S.). The consideration comprises a cash payment of $2.6-million (U.S.) and the settlement of approximately $8-million (U.S.) in debt that the company owes Kubgas, subject to adjustments on the completion date. The sale terms were negotiated at arm's length with the partner, and closing of the transaction is subject to the parties entering into a definitive agreement and the company obtaining TSX Venture Exchange approval.
Patrick McGrath, chief executive officer of Cub, said: "Cub Energy's founder and former CEO, Mikhail Afendikov, built Kubgas into one of the largest natural gas producers in Ukraine during the 2000s. The company is proud of its success, but it has decided to divest its remaining interest in this asset. The sale will add cash and substantially deleverage Cub's balance sheet by reducing 80 per cent of the company's debt as of the last quarterly financial results. The divesture allows Cub to focus on its 100-per-cent-owned western Ukraine gas assets and its associated power generation business. The company continues to review new opportunities."

Western Ukraine Tysagaz Assets (100% Interest)
The Company commenced power generation in mid-May 2021 through two Jenbacher gas power generation engines that are converting the natural gas produced from the RK field into power that is being sold in western Ukraine at local market rates. The power generation units have the capacity to produce as much as 3 megawatts (“MW”) of power utilizing the 100% owned RK gas field.
Eastern Ukraine KUB-Gas Assets (35%)
There are approximately ten recompletion opportunities with “behind pipe pays” that Kub-Gas is reviewing with one recompletion planned for the third quarter of 2021. As the currently producing intervals deplete, the production team can recomplete these additional zones in the existing wells. Kub-Gas uses its own completion equipment and personnel.

(“Cub” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: KUB), a Ukraine-focused upstream oil and gas company, announced today its audited financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2020. All dollar amounts are expressed in United States Dollars unless otherwise noted. This update includes results from Kub-Gas LLC (“Kub-Gas”), which Cub has a 35% equity ownership interest, Tysagaz LLC (“Tysagaz”), Cub’s 100% owned subsidiary and CNG LLC (“CNG”), which Cub has a 50% equity ownership interest. Patrick McGrath, Interim CEO of Cub said: “We are pleased to report the two Jenbacher power units arrived on site on the RK field in Q4 2020 and were successfully installed and tested during Q1 2021 and just awaiting final regulatory approval to start selling into the local power grid. While the commercialization has taken longer than expected, we look forward to the commencement of power production. Due to stronger gas trading margins in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company reported net income of $165,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2020.” Operational Highlights
• Achieved average natural gas price of $3.79/Mcf and condensate price of $41.07/bbl during the year December 31, 2020 as compared to $5.36/Mcf and $49.51/bbl for 2019. The decrease in gas price is in large part due to the impact of COVID-19. To date in 2021, the Company has seen the price of natural gas in Ukraine rebound to the $5/Mcf-$6/Mcf range.
• Production averaged 619 boe/d (97% weighted to natural gas and the remaining to condensate) for the year December 31, 2020 as compared to 784 boe/d for 2019.
• In 2020, the Company has signed a contract for the purchase of two Jenbacher gas power generation engines that should convert the natural gas produced from the RK field into power that can be sold in western Ukraine at local market rates. The two units were manufactured and delivered to the RK Field in the fourth quarter of 2020 to begin installation and commissioning. Each power generation unit will have the capacity to produce as much as 1.5 megawatts (“MW”) of power or 3 MW in total.
Financial Highlights
• The gross profit on the Company’s gas trading business increased to $1,523,000 during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $825,000 in gross profit in 2019.
• The Company reported net income of $165,000 or $0.00 per share during the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to a net loss of $11,320,000 or $0.04 per share during 2019. The Company reported a net loss of $2,109,000 or $0.01 per share during the year December 31, 2020 as compared to a net loss of $11,060,000 or $0.04 per share during 2019. Excluding the one-time impairment and provision charges in 2019, the Company would have had net income of $262,000.
• Netbacks of $8.55/boe or $1.43/Mcfe were achieved for the year December 31, 2020 as compared to netback of $15.88/Boe or $2.65/Mcfe for 2019.
• The Company has implemented certain cost-cutting initiatives during 2020, including the layoff of eleven team members, salary and director fee reductions, the signing of office leases at lower rent levels and a general decrease in the use of external consultants.

EU To Label Gas to Electricity Plants As "Green"

EU to offer gas plants a green finance label, under certain conditions
The European Union plans to label some gas power plants as sustainable investments, after an initial proposal to deny them a green label faced a backlash from a group of 10 EU member states.
The European Commission’s new proposal, shared with EU countries on Saturday, would class gas-fuelled plants that generate power plus heating or cooling as a green investment if strict conditions on emissions are met and they are operating by 2025.
The EU’s updated proposal for gas plants is part of its Sustainable Finance Taxonomy, which defines what economic activities can be marketed in Europe as sustainable investments from next year. The full text of the proposal was published online by specialised news site Contexte.
The Commission declined to comment on the draft proposal. It plans to finalise the sustainable finance rules by April 21.
The EU’s aim is to steer more capital into environmentally friendly projects to help it deliver on its plan to rapidly slash the greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change.
But the taxonomy has become mired in disputes between EU countries over how to treat investments in natural gas, forcing the Commission to rewrite its original proposal from November.
Natural gas, a fossil fuel, produces roughly half the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of coal when burned in a power plant and countries such as Poland and Germany plan to use gas to wean themselves off the more polluting fuel.
However, gas is not emissions-free and there are growing concerns that leaks of potent planet-warming methane from gas infrastructure could cancel out the benefits of switching to gas from coal.
Strict conditions
Under the draft plan, gas plants that generate power and also provide heating or cooling can be classed as a green investment if they replace a high-emitting fossil fuel-based facility and result in a cut in greenhouse gas emissions of at least 50% per kilowatt hour (kWh) of energy produced.
The gas plant must be operating by 2025, have the potential to use low-carbon fuels in future, and emit no more than 270 grams of CO2 equivalent per kWh of energy.
For plants only producing power, or those that also provide heating or cooling but do not replace a more polluting plant, the Commission stuck to its plan to restrict the green label to plants with life-cycle emissions below 100g of CO2 equivalent per kWh, according to the draft document.
That means gas power plants operating now would need to add technology to capture their emissions to qualify.
Sean Kidney, chief executive of the Climate Bonds Initiative, said it was a major win for climate action that the Commission had not weakened this 100g emissions limit.
“That is a key marker for electricity generation that we need to spread globally,” said Kidney, a member of the EU’s advisory group on the sustainable finance taxonomy.
James Watson, secretary general of gas industry group Eurogas, declined to comment on the draft proposal but said the 100g limit was a barrier to switching to gas from coal.
“The taxonomy must leverage all viable technology, including highly efficient gas-fired solutions and renewable and low-carbon gas-ready units,” Watson said.
The new proposal aims to placate countries split over the finance rules, as it would take a majority of the bloc’s 27 members to veto them.
A group of 10 EU countries, including Bulgaria and Poland, had urged the Commission to label gas power as green by giving plants a feasible threshold they could meet.
States including Denmark and Spain, however, have warned Brussels not to weaken its initial plan to deny gas a green label.
