(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 26. The Embassy of
the Republic of Azerbaijan to the Kingdom of the Netherlands has
exposed the Armenian fake regarding the meeting of Azerbaijani
Ambassador to this country Rahman Mustafayev with Mayor of
Rotterdam Ahmed Aboutaleb, the embassy told trend .
The Armenian media has earlier spread the fake news that,
allegedly during the meeting with the Azerbaijani ambassador, the
Rotterdam mayor abruptly criticized the 'encroachment on Armenia'
and called for 'unblocking' the Lachin-Khankendi road.
'Given the untrue claims spread by the Armenian media about the
Azerbaijani ambassador's meeting with the Rotterdam mayor on
December 20, 2022 and the alleged criticism of Azerbaijan during
the meeting, the press service of the embassy deems necessary to
say that this meeting, held upon the initiative of the Azerbaijani
ambassador, was dedicated to the development of bilateral economic,
investment, educational, and cultural cooperation between
Azerbaijan and Rotterdam,' said the embassy.
According to the statement, neither political issues nor a
peaceful protest on the Lachin-Khankendi road [being held against
the illicit exploitation of Azerbaijan's mineral resources in the
area of Russian peacekeepers' temporary deployment] were touched
upon at the meeting.
'There was no hint of any criticism of anyone during the
meeting, which took place in a friendly and benevolent ambiance. On
the other hand, the mayor, who paid an official visit to Baku in
November 2013, made several important initiatives aimed at further
developing bilateral collaboration,' the statement added.
As for the post-Karabakh conflict period, the embassy noted that
Ambassador Mustafayev showed the Rotterdam mayor and his delegation
members the 'Karabakh – before and after the occupation' album,
primarily photographs of demolished Aghdam. Meanwhile, the
ambassador pointed out that Rotterdam was also ruthlessly destroyed
by the Nazis during World War II, like Aghdam, and that the
practice of the Netherlands in restoring the destroyed Rotterdam
could be useful for the restoration of Aghdam.
'Considering the foregoing conclusions, the embassy urges the
Armenian community of the Netherlands to stop dreaming and use
their energy not for provocations, but to promote the establishment
of peace and good neighborly relations between Armenia and
Azerbaijan. The destructive political activity of the Armenian
community will not interfere with the further advancement of
cooperation between Azerbaijan and the Netherlands. The embassy
intends to develop Azerbaijan's comprehensive relations with
Rotterdam and other cities of the Netherlands,' the statement

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) OPEC will not change its strategy, and it does not have to solve a problem that it did not create, Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman told Asharq Channel in a TV interview, Trend reports citing Al Arabiya .
The Saudi minister stressed that there must be a regulator for the markets adding that everyone should be aware of what OPEC has done to achieve this regulation.
The Saudi Minister of Energy considered that the shortage in the market in gas supplies is a result of policies that were previously taken, including lowering the production of electricity from gas.
“Accordingly, investments declined, causing a shortage in gas markets today,” the minister added.
Prince Abdulaziz said during the interview that Saudi Arabia's goal of zero carbon emissions can be achieved before 2060.
“This goal will not have an adverse financial or economic impact in the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia seeks to be a source of confidence for all forms of energy. We have capabilities to produce and integrate new forms of energy into Saudi Arabia's economy and exports,” the minister added.
Prince Abdulaziz added that investing in clean energy does not mean stopping investment in oil.
“The goal is to reduce emissions, not cutting to use oil,” the Saudi minister added.
“There is no contradiction between investing in energy and caring for the climate. The world cannot live on a single source of energy, or even on a few sources, but the world needs all the energy sources available,” the minister added.

If he has to testify under oath, US President Donald Trump will deny he ever asked former FBI director James Comey to treat former national security adviser Michael Flynn leniently, his lawyer said on Sunday.
"There was no conversation about Michael Flynn," Rudy Giuliani said on CNN's State of the Union program regarding the February 14, 2017, meeting in the Oval Office.
The private chat figures prominently in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into possible obstruction of justice in the Russia election interference case.
Comey testified in Congress last year that Trump tried to persuade him to go easy on Flynn the day after the president sacked his national security adviser for lying about his contact with the Russian ambassador.
"I hope you can see your way to letting Flynn go. He's a good guy. I hope you can let this go," Comey quoted Trump as saying.
Trump sacked Comey in May 2017, later admitting on TV that the FBI's Russia investigation was on his mind when he made the decision.

Dhaka: Air travellers numbers from Dhaka to Jashore and Barishal have fallen significantly as southbound people are opting to travel by road following the opening of Padma Bridge in late June.
As a result, the three local airlines of our country are suffering from huge losses.
This has even made NOVOAIR, one of the country's private carriers, to announce temporary suspension of its flights to Barishal from August 1.
To attract more passengers, the airlines have significantly lowered air ticket prices on the two most sought-after domestic routes. However, reports claim the move is not bearing any fruit.
Biman's airfare on Dhaka-Jashore route is now BDT 3,200 and BDT 3000 on Dhaka-Barisal route. Earlier, the airfare was BDT 3,500 BDT Tk 3,700, respectively.
On the other hand, US-Bangla Airlines is now charging around BDT 3,500 on Dhaka-Barishal route and BDT 3,700 on Dhaka-Jashore, compared to the earlier fair of BDT 4,500 to BDT 5,000.
Also, according to reports, Biman will be bringing down its flight frequency to Barishal due to the poor passenger volume.
The airline will now operate only three flights a week instead of the earlier seven flights a week.
The months of June-July are considered off-season for air travel anyway. On top of it, travellers are enjoying using Padma Bridge, since its opening, as it saves them both time and money, said Kamrul Islam, General Manager-Public Relations of US-Bangla Airlines.
Reports further mentioned one-third of US-Bangla's flights on the routes remain empty after the inauguration of the Padma bridge.
However, Kamrul Islam noted the airline is still operating six daily flights to Jashore and two daily flights to Barishal.

At Expo City Dubai, several volunteers counted down to the moment of 8:30pm when lights of the Terra Sustainability Pavilion were switched off.
Prior to that, people gathered in the main hall of the Terra Pavilion before heading out to pose for a photograph in front of the pavilion. Conducting the event was Emirates Nature-WWF. Arabella, from the organisation spoke about how important the initiative was for the environment.
Elsewhere in the city, Dubai Holding Asset Management's residential communities like Bluewaters, City Walk, Al Khail Gate, Shorouq, Ghoroob and Layan turned off their non-essential lights to mark the Earth Hour.
Green Planet Dubai, the Middle East's only indoor rainforest biodome, also joined in the movement.
Since its beginnings in 2007, Earth Hour has been known for the“lights off” moment, with people from around the globe switching off their lights to show symbolic support for the planet and to raise awareness of the environmental issues affecting it. The grassroot movement encourages individuals, communities, and businesses to turn off their lights and other non-essential electrical appliances for one hour.
The Dubai Astronomy Group took advantage of the occasion to organise a stargazing event, at the Al Qudra Desert in Dubai which includes an iftar under the stars with sky mapping and astrophotography sessions.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The Netherlands will send Ukraine transformers, cables, and switching components to repair critical energy infrastructure.
'The Netherlands will support Ukraine this winter with materials to repair critical energy infrastructure, in particular, by supplying, among other things, transformers, switching components, and cables necessary for the restoration of the power grid. This Dutch contribution is part of EUR 180 million that the Government has allocated to help Ukraine survive the winter, of which EUR 18 million is intended for the repair of critical infrastructure,' reads the statement by the Dutch government.
As noted, Russia has launched numerous attacks targeting Ukraine's power grids since October. Despite all the efforts of the Ukrainians, it is becoming increasingly difficult to carry out repairs, in particular, due to the lack of materials. The Netherlands cooperates with the European Commission to organize logistics. Transportation to Ukraine is compensated by the EU humanitarian aid organization.
'Ukrainians are now having an extremely difficult winter because of Russian bombings. Many of them live without heat and electricity. By supplying transformers, cables and other items, we help alleviate this suffering. We have been standing with Ukraine since the beginning of the war. We will continue doing it,' Liesje Schreinemacher, Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, stressed.

The Indian rupee appreciated 32 paise to 80.98 against the US dollar (22.06 against the UAE dirham) in early trade on Thursday on a broad dollar weakness after US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said the pace of interest rate hikes may slow.
At the Indian interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 81.08 against the dollar, then gained further ground to touch 80.98, registering a rise of 32 paise over its previous close.
On Wednesday, the rupee rose by 42 paise to close at 81.30 against the US dollar, on month-end exporter dollar selling and MSCI rebalancing-related inflows.
Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, fell 0.27 per cent to 105.66.
Fed Chair Powell in his speech on Wednesday gave a clear indication that the Fed would slow down its pace of rate hikes and increase rates by 50 basis points in the December policy.
Overall, the speech can be said to be leaning towards moderation in hawkishness going forward and this has brought a great sense of comfort to markets, IFA Global Research Academy said in a research note.

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) RIYADH — Three Syrian opposition camps met in Riyadh on Monday to try to forge a unified front for what the UN hopes will be a substantive round of peace negotiations in October.
The Saudi-backed opposition High Negotiations Committee (HNC) held an hours-long meeting in a Riyadh compound with delegations from two other moderate camps, the so-called Cairo and Moscow groupings.
UN Syria envoy Staffan de Mistura has sought to unify the opposition to develop a more pragmatic negotiating strategy after hosting seven rounds of largely unsuccessful talks.
The main obstacle has been the fate of President Bashar Assad, with the HNC insisting on his ouster but the other two camps adopting a softer stance on the issue.
"The goal of the meeting is to arrive at an agreement on the political programme that forms the basis of the negotiations. At the forefront is the position on Bashar Assad," Syrian opposition leader Ahmed Ramadan told AFP this week.
There was no immediate comment on the conclusion of Monday's meeting.
De Mistura said last week that he hopes for "real, substantive" peace talks between the government and a still-to-be-formed unified Syrian opposition in October.
Rebels have suffered heavy territorial losses since peace talks to end the war began, including the regime's recapture of Aleppo, a former opposition stronghold.
With the rebel fighting position weakened, experts say the regime faces no pressure to make concessions at the negotiating table, and especially not over the question of Assad's future.
De Mistura has said he may still try to organise another "preparatory" round of talks in Geneva next month, but stressed that his office will be focusing on the agenda for "substantive talks" aimed for October.

The Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) reported
that Armenia has submitted 8 forms to Azerbaijan regarding
minefields in the territories liberated from occupation.
According to Azernews , ANAMA emphasised that
the submitted forms mainly consist of records on mined areas
covering the Murovdag Ridge of the Kalbajar region. Based on the
technical regulations, information on landmarks, types, numbers,
distances between buried mines, methods of burial, and concealment
is recorded in the form of minefields.
"However, as before, the information in the recently submitted
forms is inaccurate, unreliable, and incomplete. After analysing
and processing the forms, it was determined that the recorded data
does not agree with the actual minefields and that the coordinates
of the reference points are incorrect and useless.
In general, the minefield forms submitted by Armenia cover some
areas along the former line of contact. Information on the section
of the former line of contact passing through the Khojavand,
Tartar, and Goranboy regions, as well as the areas mined by
Armenian military units during the retreat in November 2020, has
not yet been provided.
The organization's information noted that the reliability of the
information provided in 2021 about the minefields buried by Armenia
in the Aghdam, Fuzuli, Jabrail, and Zangilan regions was 25%.
"If we look at the statistics of mine accidents, we will see
that not only the territories along the former line of contact but
also residential areas, agricultural lands, river banks, forest
areas, and cemeteries are heavily contaminated with mines. Since
the Second Garabagh War, 345 people have been killed by mines, and
247 people have died or received bodily injuries of varying degrees
of severity as a result of mine accidents that occurred outside the
line of contact.
Mass mining of civilian territories is a serious violation of
international law and a crime against humanity," ANAMA said.

(MENAFN- Pajhwok Afghan News) KABUL
Since 2006, the 233-kilometer segment of the Afghanistan's Ring Road between Qaisar and Laman has been funded by five separate grants from the Asian Development Bank totaling $721 million.
In a review, SIGAR said as of September 2017, the Afghan Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) had disbursed $249 million of the ADB grant funds to build this section of the road, but contractors had only achieved 15 percent construction progress.
From March 2014 through September 2017, no physical progress was made on the route, the watchdog said, adding the delay almost certainly eroded much of the limited work that had been completed prior to that period.
The project was plagued by security challenges, poor contractor performance, and a lack of capacity within MoPW to manage large construction contracts, the SIGAR review said.
These issues led to repeated failed efforts and the termination of two contracts for the construction of the road.
In November 2008, three local staff of an engineering consulting firm were abducted, and one was killed. In February 2009, work was suspended at the site due to security concerns, and 16 subcontractor employees were abducted just a little over a month later.
Another contract was terminated after no paved roads were constructed and design work was incomplete after nearly three years.
Despite receiving approximately 46% of the contract's value, only 15% of the work was completed. The joint venture also failed to pay subcontractors an estimated $25.5 million.
SIAGAR said contemporaneous project reports stated that security problems throughout the proposed project area contributed to unsuccessful attempts to solicit qualified bidders for construction contracts.
'We remain unconvinced that the security situation, even with a change in contractor's security posture, is somehow now more manageable, given that the percentage of districts under insurgent control or influence has doubled since 2015.'

optimization used a copper price of $8,000 per ton.

(MENAFN- ProactiveInvestors - UK) Summit Therapeutics PLC (NASDAQ: SMMT LON: SUMM) is to present further data showing the superiority of its new antibiotic for hospital superbug C.Diff over the standard of care medicine.
The additional data on Summit's ridinilazole versus vancomycin comes from the from the Phase 2 CoDIFy trial and will be heard at the 26th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID).
Taking the antibiotic ridinilazole resulted in a marked reduction in rates of C-Diff recurrence as compared to vancomycin (14.3% versus 34.8%) the drug discovery firm will say.
This result comes on top of the previously reported statistical superiority in 'sustained clinical response' rates of ridinilazole over vancomycin (66.7% compared to 42.4%) for treating the disease.
Sustained clinical response is defined as clinical cure at the end of treatment and no recurrence of the condition in 30 days after therapy.
C. diff is a serious threat in hospitals and care homes and there are between 450000 and 700000 cases in the US annually.
Recurrence is a key problem as repeat episodes are typically more severe and associated with an increase in mortality rates and healthcare costs.

As the author of the article said, Azerbaijan is a relatively

BVG Associates, the author noted that British experts are now in
high demand in Azerbaijan.
'If you look at our experience in the UK, coal has largely come
off the grid and it's been replaced by lots of wind and solar.
Azerbaijan is looking at that and the opportunity to decarbonize as
part of a broader energy transition agenda. Countries like
Azerbaijan have carbon reduction obligations under international
frameworks such as the 2015 Paris agreement,' Douglas said.
Douglas has travelled to a clean energy conference in Baku in
Azerbaijan, where British companies presented their expertise in
decarbonization technologies, including offshore wind. He highly

(MENAFN- Iraq Business News) By John Lee.
The study Technical and Environmental Efficiency of Wheat Farms in Saline Irrigated Areas of Central Iraq investigates the impact of soil salinity on technical efficiency (TE) and environmental efficiency (EE) in wheat production in central Iraq, where 360 farmers interviewed in winter season 2015-2016.
In developing countries, even though irrigated agricultural land covers only 20% of all arable land, it accounts for 47% and 60% of all crop and cereal production respectively. In total, 11% of irrigated area is affected by salinity (Pakistan, China, United States, and India present more than 60% of this percentage).
The removal of salts from the soil through leaching and drainage increases the salinity of drainage water, which then might be up to 50 times more concentrated than irrigation water, in which surface water supplies 62% of the irrigated area. Irrigated area disposal can raise the salinity of receiving water bodies to levels that make them no longer usable.
The Iraq Salinity Initiative, funded by the Australian Centre for International Research (ACIAR), AusAID and the Italian Government was designed in 2010 for the Government of Iraq and for the Iraq farmers by a group of international agencies led by ICARDA to solve the problems of Iraq's salty soils and salty irrigation water.

US F-18 Fighter Jet Crashes, Explodes at Spanish Air Base During Military Exhibition
(MENAFN) During a military exhibition at the Zaragoza Air Base in Spain, a US-manufactured F-18 fighter jet tragically crashed and exploded in a violent manner on Saturday. Fortunately, the pilot managed to eject from the aircraft before the crash and was promptly transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
The incident occurred during a practice flight that was scheduled ahead of a demonstration intended for military families at the Zaragoza Air Base. The airbase, which is currently operated by the Spanish Air Force, was previously utilized by the US Air Force.
Captured video footage of the incident reveals the fighter jet ascending at a steep angle before leveling out momentarily, only to abruptly nosedive back toward the ground. The crash resulted in a massive fireball engulfing the crash site, with burning jet fuel contributing to the formation of a large column of black smoke billowing into the sky.
The pilot, identified as a wing captain with extensive experience amounting to over 1,000 flight hours, suffered injuries to his legs, hips, and arms as a result of ejecting from the aircraft. Local newspaper Heraldo de Aragon reported on his condition, stating that his life is not considered to be in immediate danger. The Spanish Air Force released an official statement confirming the pilot's hospitalization and assuring the public that his injuries are being treated.

Karnataka govt attention invited to Hubballi-Dharwad-Belagavi region for industrial development
Hubballi, Oct 6 (KNN) The Karnataka industries during CEOs' Round Table with Electronics Minister C N Ashwath Narayan on Wednesday appealed to the state government to improve the industrial investment scenario in the Hubballi-Dharwad-Belagavi (HDB) region.
The industries that have come together under Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM), pushed for a startup hub, manufacturing launch pad, IT tech park, Beyond Bengaluru R&D Fund, and five centres of excellence in the HDB region, as per a report in the Indian Express.
According to the industry, the proposed EV cluster over 500 acres will significantly benefit the state tremendously. The industry has recommended targeting at least two anchor units, the common centre for testing, validation and certification, and the letter of intent should be signed as early as Karnataka Rajyotsava Day this year, with the first unit commencing operations by the H2 of next year.
To attract start-ups to the state, the KDEM is pushing for Startup Hub, with world-class infrastructure built to house 5,000 startups in the region. It has been proposed that it be built by the KDEM itself in a public-private partnership, over a 2-lakh square feet area on government land leased for 35 years.
Another major recommendation is to build a 1-lakh square feet manufacturing launch pad, which will act as a plug-n-play setup for engineering and manufacturing companies to scale up their business. Meanwhile, apart from announcing a Rs 500-core R&D fund for the region, the KDEM is seeking the establishment of five centres of excellence, with an investment of Rs 20 crore per centre, to boost training in R&D, innovation and entrepreneurship.

Speaking at a press conference yesterday at the launch of 6th edition of Goût de France/Good France, the Ambassador said:“The relationship between France and Qatar is really very good and old. Our mission is to enhance relations between both countries in all fields.”
Promoting 6th Edition of Goût de France/Good France — an international initiative to help restaurant owners, food producers, and the tourism sector — the envoy said 14 restaurants and 17 chefs would participate in this year's event.
They will be proposing a Goût de France special set menu during the Goût de France Week in their restaurants from October 14 to 22.
“We want this year's edition to be part of the commitment of the embassy to build stronger bilateral relationship between France and Qatar. We will introduce a few Qatari flavours in our programme. French cuisine can only evolve and comprise new ideas and recipes when it mingles with other cultures,” Faivre noted.
He said that the French Embassy has the privilege to collaborate this year with Chef Noof Al Marri, who is well-known among the Qatari community. The chef of the Ambassador's residence, Thomas Vatar, and Chef Noof will be working together to offer a Qatari-French menu designed exclusively for the Goût de France/Good France special gastronomic dinner that will take place in November.

“Every year, we are celebrating French gastronomy and its values in more than 150 countries across the five continents,” he said.
The Ambassador said this year's event has a double focus.
“The first one is a regional focus which is the Centre Val-de Loire region, famous for its goat cheese, apple pie, castles, and beautiful green surroundings. It will also focus on sustainable cuisine and respectful treatment of our natural resources, building on the French commitment to the environment,” Faivre stressed.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Goldman Sachs looking to raise $2 billion from investors to buy distressed assets from Celsius File photo By Reuters
Published: Sat 25 Jun 2022, 10:15 PM
Celsius Network LLC has hired restructuring consultants from advisory firm Alvarez & Marsal to advise on a possible bankruptcy filing, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The New Jersey-based cryptocurrency lending company froze withdrawals and transfers earlier this month due to“extreme” market conditions, in the latest sign of the financial market downturn hitting the cryptosphere.
A separate report from CoinDesk said that Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs was looking to raise $2 billion from investors to buy distressed assets from Celsius.
The proposed deal would allow investors to buy the assets at potentially big discounts if the cryptocurrency lender files for bankruptcy, according to the report, which cited two people familiar with the matter.
Celsius had $11.8 billion in assets as of last month. The company and Alvarez & Marsal did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
The market for digital assets has in recent months been roiled by extreme volatility as investors dump risky assets on fears that aggressive interest rate hikes to tame stubborn inflation could plunge the economy into recession.

(MENAFN- AFP) Oil edged higher Friday after a mixed US report showed a healthy decline in crude and gasoline reserves but a rise in output that could aggravate the global supply glut
In late morning London deals, Brent North Sea crude for July added 85 cents to $63.16 per barrel, compared with Thursday's closing level.
US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for delivery in July won 71 cents to $58.39 a barrel.
The market had ticked higher Thursday after the mixed US petroleum report.
Daniel Ang, investment analyst at Phillip Futures in Singapore, said the US Department of Energy petroleum report "showed a mixed sentiment as the bearish production increase was offset by a bullish inventory decrease".
"As a result of this, we were seeing the bulls and the bears fighting fiercely."
The report showed US commercial crude inventories fell 2.8 million barrels to 479.4 million in the week through May 22, while gasoline stockpiles fell 3.3 million barrels.
But the DoE also reported a rise in US crude production last week, by 304,000 barrels per day to 9.57 million.
Dealers have been hoping a slowdown in US output, and increased demand during the summer driving season, could whittle down the huge global supplies that were a key reason for the collapse in prices of more than 50 percent between June 2014 and January this year.
Ang said investors are awaiting the release of the second reading of US first-quarter gross domestic product later Friday for clues about demand in the world's biggest economy.

The eel is among the most endangered native species. © Keystone / Gaetan Bally
More than half of all species of fish and cyclostomes (jawless fish such as lampreys) in Switzerland are threatened or vulnerable, according to a new study.
This content was published on February 8, 2023 - 13:59 February 8, 2023 - 13:59 Keystone-SDA/jc
metade dos peixes da suíça estão em perigo
The situation worsened between 2007, when the previous study was done, and 2022, the environment ministry said on Wednesday.
The study evaluated 66 species of fish and native cyclostomes, putting 43 on the so-called Red List for 2022. These include nine species that are already extinct.
In addition, nine species are“potentially threatened”. Only 14 species are considered not threatened. The assessment is based on 70,000 observations in the various Swiss rivers and bodies of water.
Among the most critically endangered species are the eel, the arborella, the savetta, the marble trout, the Black Sea salmon, and the southern Alpine grayling. Among the already extinct species are the European sturgeon and the Atlantic salmon.
Threats to indigenous fish and cyclostomi are related to water pollution, degradation of habitats, hydroelectric exploitation, competition from non-native species and the effects of global warming.

(MENAFN- Investor Ideas) GeoPark Ltd. (GPRK:NYSE) Stephane Foucaud at Auctus Advisors sees over 90% upside for Panoro Energy based on increased reserves, new exploration potential, and improving fundamentals.
Norway-based Panoro Energy ASA (PEN:OSE; 1PZ:FRA) provided an operational update highlighting increased reserves and new exploration upside across its African oil assets, noted Auctus Advisors in a November 17 research report.
Analyst Stephane Foucaud reiterated a Buy rating and NOK$50 price target on Panoro Energy.
Expanded Resource Estimates in Gabon
According to Foucaud, the operator of Panoro's Dussafu permit offshore Gabon now estimates 10 million barrels of oil in place above initial expectations, adding 4-5 million barrels of recoverable resources.
This is in addition to the recent 6-7 million barrel discovery at Hibiscus South, both driving increased reserve potential.
New Exploration Prospects Identified
Panoro also plans to drill the 29 million barrel Bourdon exploration prospect on the Dussafu permit. The company sees further upside at its Ceiba field in Equatorial Guinea and added the Akeng Deep prospect.
The analyst believes these opportunities, along with expanded reserves, support his unchanged valuation.
Production Impacted by Temporary Issues
While Panoro produced 10,000 barrels per day in Q3, exceeding estimates, short-term electrical submersible pump (ESP) problems temporarily impacted the Dussafu wells.
This will defer some production to late 2023 and early 2024 before new wells boost output.
Significant Upside Based on Improving Fundamentals
Auctus' NOK$50 price target implies over 90% upside potential for Panoro Energy. The firm's valuation is based on increasing reserves, new exploration prospects, and attractive EV/DACF multiples.
In summary, the analyst sees the company's expanded resources and lower leverage supporting significant share price appreciation.

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Some 318 fencers have sent a letter to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Fencing Federation (FIE) asking them to reconsider allowing Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete in international competitions.
The letter was signed by 318 fencers - 286 still competing, the remainder retired - from across Europe, plus the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, and Japan, Ukrinform reports, citing reuters .
"With complete disregard for athletes' voices, you have permitted both Russia and Belarus back into FIE competitions, as well as a suspected tournament hosted on Russian soil. [...] This is an apparent break of the IOC's position ... and once again exposes Russian interests outweighing the voice and rights of athletes, especially those from Ukraine," the letter said.
The IOC sanctioned Russia and Belarus after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 but is now reluctant to exclude their athletes from the Olympics entirely for fear of a return to the boycotts of the Cold War era.
The IOC is ready to consider allowing athletes from Russia and Belarus to participate in international competitions. However, they will be required to perform as neutrals, must not support Russia's war against Ukraine, and must undergo a doping test.
