COMPANY DESCRIPTION:
Canacol Energy is a Canadian-listed oil exploration and
production company with properties focused in Colombia and
Ecuador. In late 2012, Canacol acquired Shona Energy, a natural
gas producer with long-life reserves and strategic blocks
immediately offsetting the company's heavy oil acreage in the
Caguan basin of Colombia. With a new emerging unconventional
shale opportunity, we believe the company is poised to renew
shareholder interest.

LED YOU DOWN A HOLE…
TIME TO LEAD YOU OUT
Investment recommendation
Canacol’s share price retreated an additional 17% yesterday as selling
pressure continues. However, in our view, the company has been overly
penalized in a heavily negative market; while international oil-weighted
E&Ps are off approximately 70% from mid-summer highs, Canacol is
down approximately 80%. Although we believe valuations and peer
comps have become less meaningful during this unrelenting sell-off, we
also believe the time is ripe to capitalize on opportunities like Canacol,
which have a line of sight on multi-year growth.
Investment highlights

By 2016, nearly 40% of Canacol’s production is expected to be
natural gas with fixed long-term contracts. The company also
receives fixed prices on Ecuador oil sales, which account for 15% of
our CY2015 estimated production volumes.

Approximately 45% of our C$7.50/share base 2015E NAV is derived
from Canacol’s gas contracts. In conjunction with the company’s
Ecuador oil contract, approximately two-thirds of our base NAV is
derived from production with fixed price contracts.

When the company releases its 2015 budget in January, we expect a
half year outlook. H2/15 plans will likely be announced later in
2015.

We believe the worst of the downward pressure on Canacol’s share
price should conclude in the near term. We are also optimistic that
oil-weighted E&Ps will begin to see a floor in trading this month.
Valuation
We use a DCF model to estimate base and risked 2015E NAVs of C$7.50
and C$10.40/share, respectively. Our C$7.50/share target aligns with
our base NAV.

NO ONE CAN CALL THE BOTTOM, BUT HERE WE ARE
Canacol’s share price retreated an additional 17% yesterday as selling pressure continues;
in our view, the company has been overly penalized in a heavily negative market. While
international oil-weighted E&Ps are off approximately 70% from mid-summer highs,
Canacol is down approximately 80%. Although we believe valuations and peer comps have
become less meaningful during this unrelenting sell-off, we also believe now is the time to
capitalize on opportunities with a line of sight on multi-year growth.
In our view, 2008 had a Darwinian impact on the surviving internationals today. Realizing
the limited options for equity financing, most companies have been trained to live within
their financial means for growth. While Canacol was successful at recently completing a
financing at a non-dilutive share price, the share price has subsequently fallen nearly 80%
since the financing. In our view, those with a long-term investment horizon on Canacol
should enjoy the benefits of a strong 2016 combined with a growing inventory of
exploration locations in both conventional and unconventional oil plays. Investors that are
suffering include those having to report month-to-month gains/losses and traders with
short-time horizons. Either way, we believe that the company is at or near an excellent
accumulation level particularly given its ability to decouple revenue streams from Brent in
2016.
The value of international gas…
Canacol’s gas contracts going forward should not be underestimated. If Brent prices
remain weak through 2015 and North American gas prices remain soft, there are few
options in the energy sector for commodity price upside other than internationals. Canacol
currently has 18 MMcf/d locked in at approximately $5/MMBtu with a 2% escalation factor.
In December 2015, the company is expected to initiate two new contracts of 35 MMcf/d at
~$5.40/MMBtu and 30 MMcf/d at $8.00/MMBtu. Management forecasts 2016 EBITDA of
$170 million associated with its 83 MMcf/d of contracted production. The company is also
pursuing incremental opportunities for upwards of 60 MMcf/d that would likely be
contracted at or above $8/MMBtu.
As we stated earlier, 45% of our C$7.50/share base 2015E NAV is associated with
Canacol’s gas contracts. In our view, investors are selling the shares, to some degree, due
to an over-emphasis on debt levels. However, it is our opinion that the market “can’t see
the forest for the trees” as the market ignores longer-term opportunities. We believe debt is
only an issue if the company cannot repay or renegotiate it, or if the repayment of nearterm debt impacts future growth. In our view, the company should be able to refinance
current debt and should be able to grow into 2016 with current sources of funding. As
such, we maintain that Canacol’s current share price provides a solid entry point for
investors going into 2015.
2015 outlook
As we stated in our, “Reduction in Guidance; Reducing Target”, publication November 13,
2014, “We believe soft Q1/F15 financials, along with reduced production guidance, will
weigh heavily on the stock through year end”. Now that we believe the worst of the share
price correction is behind us, we think there is a solid opportunity to accumulate the stock
at these levels.

11 December 2014
Based on our sensitivity analysis, the company could execute a self-funded $200 million
capex program in 2015 with Brent prices of $50/bbl. In this scenario, 2016 would be a
rebuilding year (in terms of the balance sheet). However, by this time ~40% of the
corporate production should be from long-term gas contracts.
We expect the company will likely provide a two-stage budget to remain dynamic in the
face of volatile Brent prices. As such, Canacol should be able to re-allocate funds
accordingly. The major unknown is where Brent prices will go in 2015. It is our belief that
Brent will be under pressure through Q1/15. However, as commodity traders begin to
speculate on a positive outcome from the OPEC meeting in June, futures contracts should
trend higher. This, combined with ongoing capital cutbacks from North American
producers, should put upward pressure on oil from the supply side. When oil prices
eventually turn around, we believe international oil producers should be well positioned to
capitalize on improved pricing through increased spending in H2/15 (versus the Majors,
which tend to be less dynamic in deploying capital programs).
VALUATION
We have made no changes to our DCF model or NAV estimate for 2015E. The company is
expected to release its updated 2015 capital program in January, which will impact both
our capital estimates as well as our production expectations. In the interim, we believe the
company can manage within its means with a capital budget under $200 million. As we
stated earlier, we believe that most international companies will give six-month capital
guidance with some optionality to increase H2/15 capital guidance depending on the status
of Brent pricing by mid-2015.
We note that even with a $50-55/bbl Brent price deck, we do not foresee liquidity issues
based on our current production projections. In our view, the expected boost in sales from
gas volumes (starting December 2015) should be a significant driver of cash flows going
forward. Given Canacol’s significant resource inventory, solid base development program,
and discounted valuation, we maintain our BUY recommendation.

The following section was taken from our November 13, 2014 publication titled
”Reduction in Guidance; Reducing Target”
LLA-23 – Likely drilling inventory into 2016
The company highlighted that, despite the downturn in global commodity prices, that LLA23 block remains highly profitable due to the high deliverability and its lower-cost
structure. The company intends to drill two development wells and additional exploration
wells before year end (Maltes-1 and Pastor-1).
The company is in the process of shooting 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic with a
target to firm up the 12 currently identified exploration leads shown in Figure 2. The
inventory of locations has the potential to provide drilling inventory into 2016.

SHALE – Up to 30 shale exploration wells expected through to the end of 2015
The company has benefited from conventional discoveries on its shale blocks via “free
looks” due to the deeper shale drilling on block VMM-2. The company plans to drill an
additional appraisal well into the shallow Lisama discovery prior to the end of 2014.
(subsequent to our November 13, 2014 publication, the company has decided not to drill)
On the VMM-3 block, the operator (Shell) spudded the Pico Plata-1 exploration well in early
October 2014. The well will target the La Luna shale formation. As shown in Figure 3,
there is a substantive number of shale locations planned into 2015 by various operators.
Canacol’s northern shale blocks have ConocoPhillips, Exxon and Shell as operators, with
the company being carried on 19 total locations in this region. The company’s independent
auditor has identified a net mean prospective shale resource of 185 million barrels with
estimated value of $1.3 billion (on the three northern blocks alone).

Gas upside late 2015 – Canacol’s gas production should greatly reduce commodity
price volatility in 2016 and beyond
The company has successfully drilled the Corozo-1 gas exploration well and is awaiting a
production test. The Canandonga-1 exploration well is expected to be drilled next, likely
before year end. Management estimates that Canandonga could be as large as 67 Bcf on an
unrisked recoverable prospective resource basis.
In 2015, the company intends to follow with up to five appraisal/development locations in
order to deliver the 83 MMcf/d of contracted gas by the end of 2015. In our view, this
property should bring stability to the cash flow statement in future years as the company
has contracted the gas at various fixed prices (from $5 to $8/MMBtu) for up to five-year
terms. The company is currently pursuing an additional 60 MMcf/d of fixed contracts to
capitalize on the high gas prices that can currently be locked in for long-term contracts.
In the short term, Canacol also announced a price increase on current sales. Canacol
currently sells approximately 18 MMcf/d of gas from the Nelson Field to a local ferronickel
producer under a 10-year contract that expires in 2021. That contract was linked to the
Guajira price index, which changed effective October 29, 2014 from $3.97/MMBtu to
$5.08/MMBtu. This should benefit production netbacks starting this quarter.

TARGETING 35,000 BOE/D BY 2016
The company has ambitious plans to achieve 35,000 boe/d by 2016. With gas production
already contracted for 14,561 boe/d, the company needs to grow its oil production to
~20,400 b/d by 2016. The company indicated that its 13 existing fields currently contribute
43 million boe of 2P reserves with an NPV of $887 million shown in Figure 5.
