Karoon Energy  (ASX:KAR) Volatility Explanation

Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. It’s often measured as standard deviation or variance of historical returns over a certain period. The volatility here is measured as the annualized standard deviation between monthly returns from the security over the past year.

Volatility reflects the uncertainty or risk of a security’s value. Generally speaking, a higher volatility suggests a higher risk, because it implies a wider fluctuation around average price. This means the price of the security can change dramatically in either direction within a short period. Conversely, a lower volatility means that the security's price is more steady, which suggests a lower risk.

Another measurement of relative volatility is Beta. Beta is a measure of systematic risk of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole. Beta is usually compared to 1. A beta of greater than 1 indicates that the security's price will be more volatile than the market.

Address
6 Riverside Quay, Level 3, Suite 3.02, Southbank, Melbourne, VIC, AUS, 3006
Karoon produces around 8 million barrels of oil annually from its wholly owned Bauna field in Brazil's offshore Santos basin. The company acquired Bauna from Petrobras in 2020 and has been steadily increasing production via well interventions and new developments. Field life is approaching eight years based on proven and probable 2P reserves of 55 million barrels at end December 2022, though this excludes a further 82 million barrels in 2C contingent resources which which have potential to increase life further. We credit life of approximately 10 years, assuming partial conversion of 2C contingent resources into reserve category with drilling. There are also prospective untested targets within Karoon's permits which could potentially add further reserves in the medium term.
