Nexstarin arvon arviointia

Yhtiön osakkeiden osto päätös pari viikkoa sitten syntyi nopeasti ja melko heppoisin perustein. Pääsyy ostoon oli Pembina Cardium-kevyt öljy potentiaali. Alla karkeaa arviointia Cardium-projektin arvosta, muita Nexstarin projekteja en oli tutkinut. Tietoja on kerätty Nexstarin ja Bonterra Oil&Gasin kotisivuilta sekä mm. Crescent Point, Peyton ja Daylight Resources Trustin-sivuilta.

Pohjois-Amerikan suurimpien kenttien joukkoon kuuluvasta Pembinasta on tuotettu öljyä yli puoli vuosisataa, joten tuotanto ja siirto infraa(putkistoa, öljypattereita, kaasunprosessointilaitoksia jne.) on lähellä mikä tarkoittaa matalia operointikustannuksia(nosto)->Nexstar arvioi että operointikustannukset ovat 4-6 Kanadan dollaria per tynnyri. Verrannoksi tämän vuoden toisen kvartaalin o-kustannuksia per boe: Penn West >C$15, Crescent Point ~C$10, Talisman >C$14, Canadian Natural Resources C$18.
Valmiina oleva infra tarkoittaa myös sitä että öljyn tuotannon mukana mahdollisesti tuleva maakaasu(solution gas) saadaan hyödynnettyä välittömästi kaupallisesti. Saskatchewanin Bakken-maa oli öljyn ja kaasun tuotannollisesti suhteellisen neitseellinen alue eikä maakaasun keräys ja siirtoinfraa ollut paikalla tuotannon alkaessa, joten öljyn sivutuotteena saatua maakaasua on jouduttu aiemmin polttamaan.

Pembinan Cardium-vyöhykkeen rakenne ja rajat ovat laajasti tiedossa, joten Nexstarin Cardium-maan geologinen tai exploration-riski on suhteellisen pieni ja öljyn löytämiseen käytetyt kustannukset ovat todennäköisesti melko matalat-> yhtiö arvioi että F&D-kustannukset per reservi tynnyri ovat alle 10 dollaria. Koska Cardiumista on tarjolla paljon seismistä ja poran kautta hankittua dataa voisi porauksen onnistumisprosentin voisi olettaa olevan korkea, lähellä 100%.

Nexstarin mukaan sillä on yli neljäkymmentä potentiaalista Cardium-horisontaalikaivo paikkaa Pembinalla. Yhtiön keskimääräinen working interest on 29%. Nexstar ja Bonterra arvioivat tällä hetkellä että keskim. reservit per kaivo ovat n.300 000 boe:ta(suurelta osin(>95%) kevyttä raakaöljyä).

Potentiaaliset reservit
  • Case 100% onnistuminen: 300 000x0.29x40= 3 480 000

  • Case 90% onnistuminen: 300 000x0.29x40x0.9= 3 132 000

  • Case 75% onnistuminen: 300 000x0.29x40x0.74= 2 610 000

Daylight Resources Trust
on ostamassa Highpine Oil & Gasin ja maksaa tämän 2P-reserveistä 17 Kanadan dollaria per boe(reserveistä 68% on öljyä ja NGL eli nesteitä). Muita hintoja: ostaja: Daylight/ kohde: yksityinen yhtiö(maakaasu painoinen)/ hinta per boe: $14.64, ostaja: Crescent Point kohde: Wave Energy + yksityinen yhtiö/ hinta: $21.04, ostaja CPG/ kohde: Gibraltar Exploration & Wild River Resources(öljy)/ hinta: $18.24, ostaja: Baytex Energy Trust/ kohde True Energy Trustin raskas öljy omaisuutta(tämä oli ilmeisesti TET:lle pakkomyynti)/ hinta: $9.12, ostaja: NAL Oil & Gas Trust/ kohde: Alberta Clipper/ hinta: C$12.09. Huom! Hankintahinnan kohdistaminen vain reserveihin voi olla hyvin vääristynyt näkökulma tarkastella ostoja, koska kehittämätön maa jää täysin vaille huomiota.

Nexstarin mahdollisien reservien mahdollinen arvottaminen yritysostossa:

C-100%
  • 10 dollaria per boe= 34.8 miljoonaa dollaria
  • 15 dollaria per boe= 52.2 miljoonaa dollaria

C-90%
  • 10 dollaria per boe= 31.3 miljoonaa dollaria
  • 15 dollaria per boe= 46.9 miljoonaa dollaria

C-75%
  • 10 dollaria per boe= 26.1 miljoonaa dollaria
  • 15 dollaria per boe= 39.1 miljoonaa dollaria
Nexstarilla oli 30.06.2009 velaa 3.6 miljoonaa ja yhtiön markkina-arvo perjantain oli 5.5 miljoonaa Kanadan dollaria. Yhtiön olemassa olevat osakkeet + optiot toteutuessaan= ~130.6 miljoonaa kpl.

Low case eli C75%/10 dollaria= C$0.17

High case eli C100%/15 dollaria= C$0.37

Nexstarin Cardium-mailla operoi Bonterra Oil&Gas, joten Bonterralle tässä olisi ns. "bolt-on acquisition".

Tämä on kaikki siis puhtaasti fiktiivistä, eikä liity todellisuuteen todennäköisesti mitenkään, paitsi että Nexstar on olemassa ja omistan joitakin ko. yhtiön osakkeita. Muut näkemykset Nexstarin arvosta/arvottomuudesta tai yleensä arvottamisesta ovat enemmän kuin tervetulleita.

A recovery in Nigeria and a duster in Brazil

Petrobras bites dust in pre-salt
After almost three years of back-to-back oil discoveries in the Santos basin pre-salt play, Brazilian giant Petrobras has drilled a duster in the much-touted exploration fairway.

Petrobras drilled the wildcat to a total depth of 6375 metres in ultra-deep water Block BM-S-17 in mid-August and no discovery notice was filed, a well-placed source at the country’s National Petroleum Agency (ANP) told Upstreamonline, speaking in condition of anonymity.

The block is 100%-owned by Petrobras.

“The BM-S-17 prospect was a dry hole. That’s the evaluation inside the ANP,” said the source, adding the block is located a few kilometres south-west of BM-S-22, which is in the heart of the giant Sugarloaf pre-salt structure...

PetroMENA tiedottaa

Possible Tortuous Interference in Drilling Contracts for
SS “Petrorig I,II and III” with a total value of more than USD 3 billon


"the bondholders requested due diligence to be carried out by a “specialist” entity AMA CAPITAL PARTNERS from New York. PetroMENA provided all documents to AMA and their CEO Paul Leand. NT and Paul Leand failed to inform PetroMENA that he and AMA were closely related to Seadrill in general, and one Seadrill director, in particular, obviously a conflict of interest issue. It is believed that the hostile attack on PetroMENA's was planned over a long time. Seadrill and AMA are encouraged to disclose information about this matter.
AMA also "forgot" to tell NT and PetroMENA that their business model is to get blocking control over a bond and then liquidate the assets to be sold by AMA for commission"

"Larsen Oil & Gas/PetroMENA had for some time negotiated a Letter of Understanding (LOU) for the sale of SS "Petrorig I" at a sales price of USD 425 million with a US Drilling Contractor of the highest ethical standard willing to honour the Petrobras contract. The bargain purchase goal by Seadrill was thereby spoiled when this was disclosed to the market 27th of March 2009."

"AMA/Seadrill's windfall profit motives have caused large windfall losses for suppliers, creditors, LOG, bondholders and shareholders of PetroMENA ASA and most importantly to Petrobras, Seadrill’s largest customer.

In April 2008, Seadrill obtained with persuasion from British Gas, a partner with Petrobras in the Tupifield and without a tender, six years drilling contracts with Petrobras for 3 of their newbuilding deepwater rigs similar to PetroMENAs rigs, 2 of which will be delivered in 2010. With dayrates of USD 630,ooo per day for 6 years Seadrill secured the best drilling contracts ever, for more than USD 3 billions, only by negotiations. A fantastic achievement by Seadrill.
Seadrill also bought a controlling 39% stake in Scorpion Offshore and immediately cancelled the construction of Scorpion's newbuilding on a 6 year contract with Petrobras at USD 416,000 per day, USD 200,000 less than the Seadrill rigs. By interference with PetroMENA drilling contracts for SS "Petrorig I and II" at USD 395,000 per day and USD 350,000 per day, respectively, USD 250,000 less than the Seadrill contracts, 2 more contracts may be cancelled.

Possible claims for tortuous interference against Seadrill, AMA and others from PetroMENA shareholders, bondholders, creditors, LOG and possibly Petrobras for interference may thereby be higher than USD 3 billion in total."


Kerrassaan hupaisa tiedote ja ehdottomasti lukemisen arvoinen. Teksti on sekavaa ja hyöstetty kirjoitusvirheillä, asiavirheillä ja idiomien väärinkäytöllä.
Larsen Oil & Gas "onnistui" neuvottelemaan Petrorig Yhdestä 425 miljoonaa, josta menisi vielä LOG:n "välitysmaksu", kun aluksesta saatiin pakkohuutokaupassa yli 30 miljoonaa enemmän ja aluksen "oikea" arvo on 800 miljoonaa. Tiedotteessa PetroMENA myöntää neuvotelleensa paljon huonommat taksat lautoilleen kuin Seadrill. Harvemmin sitä yrityksen johto tunnustaa avoimesti olevansa kilpailijaansa selvästi surkeampi. Tj Moldestadin ja hj:n Hirtstin eroilmoitukset lienevät jo postissa.

Ensimmäinen erä poraajille

"Transocean Ltd. Announces Ultra-Deepwater Semisubmersible Rig Sedco Express Awarded Contract by Noble Energy
"ZUG, Switzerland, Aug. 25, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Transocean Ltd. (NYSE:RIG) today announced that a subsidiary of Noble Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NBL) has awarded a 455-day contract for the ultra-deepwater semisubmersible rig Sedco Express. Estimated contracted revenues related to the 455-day contract term are approximately $241 million. Estimated contract revenues represent the maximum amount of revenues that may be earned in the firm contract period, excluding revenues for mobilization, cost escalations, customer reimbursed equipment and miscellaneous adjustments. The contract term is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2010 following the completion of the rig's current contract, maintenance work and mobilization. "

CRESCENT POINT ENERGY CONSOLIDATES CORE POSITION
IN THE LOWER SHAUNAVON OIL RESOURCE PLAY WITH
STRATEGIC ACQUISITION OF WAVE ENERGY AND
ANNOUNCES TWO SASKATCHEWAN ASSET ACQUISITIONS
AND A $200 MILLION BOUGHT DEAL FINANCING

August 24, 2009. CALGARY, ALBERTA. Crescent Point Energy Corp. ("Crescent Point" or the "Company") (TSX:CPG) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Wave Arrangement”) to complete the strategic Lower Shaunavon consolidation acquisition of Wave Energy Ltd. (“Wave”), a private oil and gas producer. Wave currently has the largest land position in the Lower Shaunavon resource play in southwest Saskatchewan, with more than 150 net sections of land and access to original oil in place (“OOIP”) estimated by the Company at more than 1.0 billion net barrels..."

"Crescent Point is pleased also to announce that it has closed one agreement and entered into a second agreement (collectively, the “Asset Acquisitions”) to acquire producing assets in southeast and southwest Saskatchewan (the “Assets”) for consideration of approximately $258.5 million of cash. The Assets produce approximately 3,750 boe/d, 73 percent of which is light and medium crude oil, including 450 boe/d in the southeast Saskatchewan Bakken light oil resource play..."

"In addition, the Company announces that it has entered into an agreement, on a bought deal basis, with a syndicate of underwriters co-led by Scotia Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets and CIBC, and including RBC Capital Markets, FirstEnergy Capital Corp., TD Securities Inc., National Bank Financial, GMP Securities L.P., Peters & Co. Limited and Tristone Capital Inc., for an offering of 5.8 million Crescent Point shares at $34.50 per Crescent Point share to raise gross proceeds of approximately $200 million..."


Tiedote(pdf)

Paul Colborne lienee kumminkin tämän ostovimman takana. Johdonmukaista toimintaa taas, eli pääasiassa öljyä ja Saskatchewanissa. Hyvää jälkeä on toistaiseksi tullut: korkeimmat netbackit ensimmäisellä vuoden puolikkaalla ja parista laimennuksesta huolimatta funds flow per share putosi alle kymmenen prosenttia kun useimmilla verrokeilla pudotus oli kymmeniä prosentteja.

Tiedotteessa on mielenkiintoinen sana muoto: "including 44 net sections Crescent Point presently manages on behalf of Shelter Bay Energy". Jotain on ilmeisesti tapahtumassa Shelterin suhteen, se ainoa järkevä ratkaisua on muiden sijoittajien lunastus ulos.

Wave Energyn kautta CPG:lle tulee taas lisää maata USA:n puolella Montanassa. Alkuvuoden Talisman-ostoksen mukana tullut maa oli Bakken-potentiaalista, Waven maa on Luoteis-Montanassa ja maan öljy ja kaasu potentiaali on lähellä pintaa ja kauka Bakkenista.

Penn Westillä on merkittävä maapositio Lower Shaunavon-muodostelman alueella ja yhtiö väittää alla olevassa slidessa elokuun presentaatiosta olevansa tämän hiilivetypelin kehittäjä, mutta tämän artikkelin mukaan Wave porasi ensimmäisen horisontaali kaivon L-Shaunavoniin ja frakturoi sen Packers Plussalla. Shaunavonin öljy on Bakken-öljyä selvästi raskaampaa n.22 API:ta, kaivojen kustannukset ja volyymit ovat lähellä Saskatchewanin Bakken-kaivoja. Tällä hetkellä raskaan ja kevyt öljyn hintaero on historiallisesti pieni joten LS:n ja Bakkenin tuotot näyttäisivät olevan hyvin lähellä toisiaan.

“Natural gas will displace coal. It will displace oil”

The big drill

"What energy crisis? Despite what you may be hearing about a global peak in oil production, waning reserves, and $100-plus oil prices, North America is suddenly awash in fossil fuel.

Sophisticated new drilling methods and a shared epiphany among exploration companies about the vast potential for new natural gas production from deep underground shale deposits have overturned decades of gloom about waning gas supplies.

“Natural gas will displace coal. It will displace oil,” said Mike Graham, Canadian foothills division president for Calgary-based gas giant EnCana. “There is no reason North America shouldn’t be energy self-sufficient if we can displace a lot of the oil with natural gas...”

West Atlaksen väki evakuoitu

Upstream
"Staff and crew members were evacuated from the Seadrill’s jack-up rig West Atlas after an incident involving a crude oil and gas leak on the drilling unit."


Atlaksen PTTEP-sopimuksen dr on $255 000, mikä on paljon jackuppille. Jackuppien operointi kulut ovat tuolla päin maailmaa 50-60 000 dollarin tienoilla per päivä, joten suhteellinen menetys toiminnan keskeytymisestä on suuri. Kukaan ei ole ilmeisesti kuollut tai vahingoittunut. Aluksen vaurioista ei ole tietoa.

Lisäys: Pidempi uutinen Bloombergillä

Lisäys II
Montara leak 'may take two months to plug'
Tästä näyttää tulleen kalliimpi operaatio: stackattu West Triton joudutaan kuljettamaan Singaporesta poraamaan haarakaivo nykyisen tukkimista varten. Virtaus kaivosta Atlakselle ja mereen jatkuu ilmeisesti, joten lautalla on vieläkin räjähdysvaara. Vahingot mitataan kymmenissä miljoonissa, mutta kuka maksaa?

Näkymät
"During the past 4 years, Scorpion constructed and delivered six ultra premium jackups and has operated in 7 different countries. Needless to say, Scorpion has the most modern fleet of ultra premium jackups in the world. During this time, the Company has secured the best-in-class jackup contract backlog with some of the largest and most credit worthy national and major oil companies.

The Board is convinced that this platform provides a solid foundation to navigate the current industry downturn and deliver superior financial performance in the future. The Board believes that the worldwide jackup drilling markets will improve during the next 18 to 24 months. The current reduction in oil and gas production coupled with inherent existing field depletion rates will negatively impact the oil industry’s ability to meet future demand as global economic growth returns. Apart from Saudi Arabia, Angola, and Brazil most other oil producing countries are experiencing significant production declines and/or reserve-life reductions. More hydrocarbon reserves will need to be discovered and produced"


Raportti

Miinus viivan alla johtuu kertaeristä: rakenteilla olleen semin sopimuksen purusta ja Offshore Mischieffin arvon alennuksesta.

Neljännen neljänneksen keskimääräiset operointikustannukset per lautta per päivä olivat $63,393, vertailuksi esim. Diamond Offshoren viimeisimmän kvartaalin jackup operointikustannukset olivat $66 ,233.

Kauppaa

Linn Energy myyty kokonaisuudessaan viime perjantaina. Yhtiö on hyvä ja johdossa on todella pätevää väkeä. Sijoituksena tämä oli suhteellisen matala riskinen joten tuottokin vajaalta kahdelta vuodelta jäi vaan <20%.
Tilalle ostin Nexstar A:ta (TSX: NXE.A). Tein jotain laskutoimituksia Nexstarin ja Bonterran lukujen mukaaan(potentiaaliset porauspaikat, keskim. WI, arvioidut reservit per kaivo, öljyn hinta, tuotantokustannukset) ja sain luvun 34 miljoonaa. Vertasin tuota markkina-arvoon ja lisäsin yhtiön optioden toteutumisen aiheuttaman laimennuksen. Todennäköisesti hyvin typerä vaihdos.

Näkymät
"With major and national oil companies maintaining their exploration and development programmes, there is little evidence of cancellations or longer term reduced mobility in the rig market. However, clients continue to be cautious before contracting transport services.
Moreover delays to financing arrangements are holding up the finalization of contracts for new build rigs and equipment. Encouragingly, tender opportunities for the largest and most technically challenging Transport, Installation & Logistics projects are showing steady growth and as an organization, Dockwise is learning how to secure these contracts. The outlook for Dockwise’s 2009 performance remains good, even though shortening lead times for certain market segments, particularly rig transports, are not contributing to visibility. Based on the results for the first half, together with the current backlog and tender activity, Dockwise expects to deliver a financial performance for 2009 in line with expectations and to perform comfortably within its banking covenants. In the current
economic climate, our internal net debt / EBITDA target of 3 by the end of 2009 is more challenging, although management regard it as an achievable goal in the near to medium term.
For 2010, a clearer outlook is forming, where the transformation of Dockwise into a full service maritime transportation company has secured a number of major scale projects, already representing backlog of nearly USD 200 million."

Petrobank CEO says unit spinoff likely
"Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd. could distribute its 66.7 per cent stake in Latin American oil producer Petrominerales Ltd. within 18 months, the company’s chief executive said Thursday, and spin off its other businesses within four years.

Petrobank CEO John Wright said in an interview that Petrominerales, which produces oil in Colombia, is a likely candidate to be doled out to Petrobank’s investors soon, with two other business units — a Canadian conventional oil producer now bulking up through a merger, a Canadian heavy oil producer — able to stand on their own in about 48 months..."


Precision CEO sees return to balance in natural gas market

Natural gas supply and demand should start coming back into balance in North America by this winter as severe cuts in drilling lead to a drop in available volumes, the head of Canada’s largest contract driller by rig count said Thursday.

Major reductions in capital spending among energy companies in response to weak gas prices are prompting steep production declines in Canada and the United States, Precision Drilling Trust chief executive Kevin Neveu said.

“We think this aggressive decline rate in both Canadian and U.S. gas is catching up right now with the demand side,” Neveu said at an investor conference in Denver, Colo...

Pembina Cardium

O & G Inquirer: Nexstar Comes Up With A Pembina Cardium Tight Oil Play
"Nexstar Energy Ltd. may be tiny, but the micro-junior has triggered a tight oil play in Alberta's Pembina oilfield that has geological parallels with the Bakken success story in southeastern Saskatchewan. "We're focused on oil-bearing portions of the Pembina Cardium [formation] that lacked sufficient permeability to be of much interest when this field was originally developed with vertical wells," says Peter Carwardine, Nexstar's president and CEO. "Our drilling indicates that these prospects can now be profitably exploited through multi-stage fracturing of horizontal wells..."


Aiheesta aiemmin.

Ensimmäisien Cardium-horisontaalikaivojen hinnat ovat kolmen miljoonan tienoilla, jos talteenotto per kaivo ilman lisä-frakkeja on 300 - 400 000 tynnyriä niin tämän pelin tuotto tulee ylittämään Sas.-Bakkenin. Koko resursin koko on paljon pienempi kuin Bakkenin, mutta vaikutus Bonterran tuotantoon voi olla huomattava, kun yhtion keskimääräinen päivä tuotanto on tällä hetkellä n. 5300 boeta. Pembinan öljy on laadultaan hieman heikompaa kuin Bakkenin(35 API vs. 42 API), mutta siirtoinfra on paikalla minkä pitäisi pudottaa kustannuksia. Albertan-provinsin rojalti säännökset taitavat kyllä olla Saskatchewania tiukemmat.
Käytännön data kentältä on vielä todella vähäistä, joten kovin pitkälle meneviä ennustuksia kannata varmaankaan tehdä, mutta kiintoisa rojekti.

PÄIVITYS 18.08.2009

NAL Oil & Gas Trusti on myös hypännyt mukaan Cardium-horisontaali-frak-peliin ja yhtiön frakit ilmeisesti hoitaa Bakkenissa mainetta niittänyt Packers Plus. NAL ei poraa Cardium-vyöhykettä Pembinassa vaan Garrington ja Pine Dale-kentillä Albertassa. Alla oleva kuva lainattu NAL:n kesäkuisesta presentaatiosta "New Oil in Legacy Cardium Plays"(.pdf). Garrington Cardium-horisontaalin reservi arvio per kaivo on tässä vaiheessa selvästi Pembina-Cardiumia pienempi(175 000 boe vs. 380 000 boe) ja Garringtonin potentiaalia jää pahasti Pembinan-varjoon kun OOIP on vain 140 miljoonaa tynnyriä.

Pohjois-Amerikan poraviikoilla jatkuu nousu

USA
öljy +16
kaasu +4

Kanada -3

Pääasiassa öljyä poraavilla on menossa 6 tai 7 perättäinen nousu viikko, maakaasua poraavilla muistaakseni 3, tosin öljyä poraavien nousu on suhteellisesti ja absoluuttisesti tuplaten kovempaa kuin kaasua poraavilla.
Energiahyödykkeiden hinnoilla on ollut selvä vaikutus porausaktiivisuuteen ja koska maakaasunporaus on lähtenyt myös nousuun voisi esittää hyvin varovaisen arvauksen että maakaasun hintakin on pohjannut Pohjois-Amerikassa. Tuoreista kvartaali-raporteissa tuottajayhtiöt jakautuvat suunnitelmiensa mukaan selvästi kahteen katekoriaan: yhtiöt, jotka vastaavat alhaisiin kaasun hintoihin vähentämällä tuotantoa ja niihin yhtiöihin, jotka pyrkivät leikkaamaan kulujaan ja kompensoimaan yksikköhinnan pudotuksen vaikutuksia vaikutuksia kassavirtaan kasvattamalla tuotantomääriä.

"Barnett Combo"

EOG Resources on tuotannoltaan tällä hetkellä 70 prosenttisesti kaasupainoinen yhtiö, mutta yhtiö yrittää agressiivisesti kasvattaa nesteiden osuutta tuotannostaan ja tavoitteena on 50/50 jakauma vuoteen 2013 mennessä. EOG on merkittävä toimija Barnett-maakaasuliuskeella Teksasissa ja se on löytänyt maakaasun lisäksi kohtuullisia määriä nesteitä(öljyä ja NGL) Johnson ja Montague-piirikuntien alueelta.

Q2 CC:
"I'll start with the Barnett Combo Liquids Play. This play continues to gain momentum and the pace of development and progress of our learning curve in Montague County is analogous to when our Johnson County Barnett project lifted off from the launch pad a few years ago.

We started the year with three rigs in the combo and expect to end the year with a seven rig program. Our press release highlighted initial rates on multiple wells we completed during the quarter. Recent well costs are running less than $3 million and typical per well initial rates are between 200 and 500 barrels of oil per day, with 1 to t2 million cubic feet a day of rich gas that contains a lot of natural gas liquids.

Our working interests range from 89% to 100%. Most importantly these wells generate a 30% to 60% direct after-tax rate of return using current oil, gas and NGL prices. As in Johnson County, we believe that per well reserves are improving as we gain experience fracture treating this rock, but it's too early to quantify this improvement. We expect to drill 100 to 120 combo wells this year.

In early July we closed on a tactical Montague/Cooke County acquisition from a private company for stock and cash whereby we acquired 2,000 barrels of equivalent oil per day of net production and 25,000 net unproved acres that were intertwined with our existing acreage.

We now have 194,000 acres in Montague and Cooke counties with an additional 144,000 acres farther west in Clay and Archer counties where the Barnett is thinner. For now we're concentrating only in Montague and Cooke counties where the Barnett is very thick and where we have an overwhelmingly dominant acreage position, i.e. this play is ours."


EOG:n Barnett Combo(kaasu+nesteet) on vielä kehityksen alla mutta luvut ovat melko mielenkiintoisia(alla olevat ovat EOG:n elokuun sijoittaja presentaatiosta):

Reservi potentiaali per kaivo:
Öljy 45 000 tynnyriä
NGL 75 000 tynnyriä
Maakaasu 540 MMcf
Yhteensä 210 000 boe

Koko maa-alueensa Barnett Combon reservipotentiaaliksi EOG arvioi yli 200 miljoonaa boe:ta.

Verrokkina Crescent Pointin lukuja Bakken kaivolle: kaivon hinta $1.3 miljoonaa, reservit per kaivo 145 000 boe. Em. luvuilla ja WTI:n ollessa $50 CPG arvioi IRR:n olevan 185%, WTI $60 nostaa IRR: jo 220%. Saskatchewanin Bakkenin keskimääräisen kaivon tuotanto lähtee 100-200 tynnyristä per päivä.

EOG arvioi kaivokohtaiseksi öljy potentiaaliksi vuoden 2008 maaliskuussa 75 000 tynnyriä ja nyt arvio 45 000, toisaalta kaasuarvio per kaivo on yli tuplaantunut aiemmasta ja CEO Papa sanoi että 210k boe per kaivo arvio on melko varmasti alakanttiin. EOG:n mukaan tuo 200k boe per kaivo vastaa vain 2% talteenottoa maa-aineksesta olevista hiilivedyistä.

EOG:n näkemys Barnettista on vahva: yhtiö on tänä vuonna ostanut alueelta lisää maata ja aikoo porata yli 100 yhdistelmä kaivoa alueelle(3 milj. per kaivo ja >80 WI:llä tuo tarkoittaa $300 miljoonaa), ja tuo näkemys poikkeaa mm. Denburyn, Quicksilver Resoucesin ja Cheasapeakin näkemyksistä sillä nuo ovat myyneet Barnett-oikeuksiaan.

Kenen öljy?

Santosin-altaan(basinin oikea käännös on syvänne tai laskeuma) suolanalaisien kerroksien massiiviset öljy ja kaasulöydöt ovat herättäneet maan johdossa halun ottaa löydetyt reservit valtion suurempaan kontrolliin.Aiemmin on huhuttu täysin uuden yhtiön perustamisesta pre-salt öljyn tuotantoa varten.

REUTERS: Lula wants Petrobras to operate sub-salt -source

"Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will propose to Congress that state oil company Petrobras (PETR4.SA)(PBR.N) be the exclusive operator of new sub-salt oil projects, a government source said on Wednesday."

"The source said the plan also includes new government capitalization of Petrobras, following months of discussions of a plan whereby the state could give the company rights to new fields in exchange for shares in the firm."


Huhujen mukaan Petrobrasista tulisi jokaisen Santos-blokin operaattori ja Brasilian-valtio kasvattaisi omistustaan yhtiössä. Aiemmin on muistaakseni valtion taholta sanottu että olemassa oleviin sopimuksiin ei puututa, mutta ehkä ahneus on menossa kunnian edelle.

Olen tavallaan olen odottanut tätä jo pari vuotta. Petrobras näyttäisi olevan matkalla Meksikon PEMEXin ja Venezuelan PDVSA:n tielle. Brasilian kansan suuri sosiaalirahasto. Ero PEMEXiin ja Chavezin lypsylehmään on se että Petrobrasin öljy on paljon kalliimpaa tuottaa.

Transocean CC excerpts


Shallow water
"We currently have 18 jackups idle or stacked, plus one that is just about to come off contract and will stack making it 19. That is up from nine at our last call and three at our year-end call. As I think I mentioned last time, we expect to see more stacked before the year is out resulting in as many as 25 or 26 jackups stacked by year-end and maybe a bit more."

Midwater
"In the midwater market and conventional deepwater markets, we have seen a slowdown in bid activity. We had four midwater floaters stacked at the end of the quarter and a fifth has just come down as moving to a stacking location. We have another three midwater rigs coming available shortly and could see some of those stack also. I will let Terry Bonno give you some thoughts on the prospects for these rigs and on the two deepwater rigs we have coming available in 2009; Sedco 709 and the Rather."

Deepwater
"The good news is the continuing strength of the ultra-deepwater market. We remain very optimistic about both the near-term and long-term outlook for this market. You saw our announcement of the contract with Petrobras for the Cajun Express, an 8500 foot capable rig, at over $500,000 per day starting early next year for three years. We have eight other ultra-deepwater rigs coming available between now and the first quarter of 2012 and we are already in discussions with customers on opportunities for most of these rigs."

"We continue to generate significant cash flow supported by our $33.7 billion of revenue backlog as shown on chart four."
"This backlog represents roughly $17 billion of free cash flow backlog versus almost $12.6 billion of face value of our debt."

We continue to be optimistic on the deepwater opportunity in the near and long-term with Petrobras leading the charge as they continue to contract deepwater units to meet their immediate demand. The Cajun Express contract for three years convertible to five years strengthens our position and relationship with Petrobras in Brazil and it is further evidence of the long-term strength of the deepwater market. We expect to see more contracts for existing rigs executed in Brazil over the next several months.

We are already in discussions with multiple clients about the units that come available in 2010 and '11. West Africa tendering has been very active with a total of 36 rig years of actual tenders and pre-qualification with start dates commencing in 2010 and '11. Additionally, ONGC has come to tender with another deepwater rig need in 12,000 foot water depths with a recently closed 10,000 foot tender yet to be awarded. With the relative stability of the oil price since our last conference call we have seen some optimism on the part of our customers and the conversations we are having with them regarding our available ultra-deepwater unit in '10 and '11 are gaining momentum.

Unfortunately, we have experienced a gap in demand for capable units in 5,000 foot water depth. As the majority of the current deepwater tenders have requirements greater than 5,000 feet.

"So, I suspect it is going to be difficult for us to be successful in acquiring some of those current newbuilds that are deepwater capable because it seems like everybody is just as optimistic about the outlook for that market as we are. Hence, there doesn't seem to be a lot of appetite to discount the prices very much."

"The jackup prices, as we said, we are going to get into a market where there will be significant discounts on the jackups."

"Nobody has really built any midwater rigs other than a couple that I think that are targeted for Norway, and I don't expect anybody to build any midwater rigs in the future.

So, if the oil prices stabilize at $70, $75, $80 or more, my guess is, most of what people were drilling for in the midwater a year ago when demand was high, is likely to come back."

"We've been working on our Arctic design for a couple of years now. We've progressed it quite far. We are in fairly substantive discussions with the shipyard and with the equipment suppliers in order to finalize the design, and hopefully get to a point where we have economics that we can go back to our customer with. At the same time we are having very substantive conversations with customers about interest in that design and interest in pursuing Arctic drilling opportunities."

The jackup market looks mighty depressed into the foreseeable future.

Linn ostaa kahdella kaupalla 12 miljoonan boe:n edestä reservejä(1P) Teksasista ja Uudesta-Meksikosta 118 miljoonan dollarin hintaan, eli $9.84 per boe. Reservit ovat 86% öljyä. Yhtiön öljy reservit kasvavat ostolla 7.5%, lisäys on siis melko pieni, mutta lisäys on suurelta osin öljyä ja ostohinta näyttää hyvältä(nostokustannuksista ei tarkempaa tietoa tässä vaiheessa).

Purkuperuste

BP on purkanut COSL Pioneerin poraussopimuksen ilmeisesti Yantai Raffles-telakasta johtuvan merkittävän myöhästymisen vuoksi. BP:n poraussopimus oli alunperin Offshore Rigin kanssa, jonka Awilco osti ja Awilcon osti pari vuotta sitten China Oilfield Services(COSL), joka on muistaakseni CNOOCin tytär. BP:llä näyttäisi olevan midwater floaterin vajaus.

There can be only one

Petrobank and TriStar to Create a Premier Southeast Saskatchewan
Bakken and Light Oil Producer(.pdf)

"Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd. (“Petrobank”) (TSX:PBG) and TriStar Oil & Gas Ltd. (“TriStar”) (TSX:TOG) are pleased to announce that their respective Boards of Directors have unanimously agreed to the strategic combination of TriStar and Petrobank’s Canadian Business Unit (the “Transaction”). The combination will create a new publicly listed company, PetroBakken Energy Ltd. (“PetroBakken” or the “Company”), that will be a premier, Bakken-focused, light oil exploration and production company..."


Consolidation in the Saskatchewan Bakken continues with a transaction that is only partly unexpected. I was expecting TOG to be bought by Crescent Point and finally CPG would swallow PBG.

Some of the details of the deal:

-"a TriStar shareholder will receive
$14.75 cash, or 0.5350 of a PetroBakken share, or a combination thereof, being approximately $3.75 per share in cash and 0.3989 of a PetroBakken share, for each share held"

-"PetroBakken plans to divest a package of Alberta-based assets
consisting of approximately 9,500 boepd (44% light oil, 56% natural gas), and 40.1 mmboe of proved plus probable reserves to further enhance the focus of PetroBakken on southeast Saskatchewan light oil resource plays. Proceeds from the disposition will be used to further solidify the strong PetroBakken balance sheet"

-"Based upon the underlying strength of PetroBakken’s high-netback light oil asset base and flexible balance sheet, PetroBakken intends to adopt a dividend policy initially targeting payments of $0.96 per share per annum, payable monthly"

Thoughts:

PBG is paying a 70% premium for TOG's equity.

PBG is selling gas to buy oil.

The implementation of a dividend is a bit of a surprise, and might indicate that Petrobank or Petrobakken is putting the heavy oil operations and THAI on the back burner as it is directing over a hundred million worth of annual cashflow out of the company.
EDIT: It seems that PBG is merging only the CBU with TOG, what exactly is going happen to the heavy oil projects isn't clear to me.

There can of course be more than one, but I think it's highly probable that there will eventually be only one major producer in the Canadian Bakken. CPG may buy PBG(the future PBN) or the other way around, it'll happen. May be sooner than later.

NG prices bound to rebound?

Calgary Herald: Natural gas woes worsening

"Declines in Canadian natural gas production will set records this year as low prices keep the lid on drilling for new supplies and on connecting existing production, industry observers said.

Volumes from Western Canada, where the bulk of the country's natural gas is produced, will drop by one billion cubic feet per day on average this year, down from an earlier estimate of 750 million cubic feet per day, First- Energy Capital Corp. analyst Martin King predicted."

"Producers in Canada may have to think about looking beyond the shores of North America in terms of marketing their product," he said.

Natural gas markets have been slammed by a number of factors in the past year, including mild weather dampening demand from power generation for heating and cooling, low industrial demand due to a North American recession, and bloated storage facilities."

"Producers started slashing their drilling budgets last year in response to prices that were sliding from highs of $13 US, and have been shutting in supply rather than selling at a loss. Industry estimates it costs an average of about $7 per mmBTU to produce natural gas."

"U. S.-based Chevron Corp., the world's fifth-largest natural gas producer, said Friday it planned to idle all of its onshore gas drilling by the end of 2009 after prices for the heating and power-plant fuel collapsed. Chevron is redeploying rigs to search for crude, which generates better returns, the corporation said. Gas accounts for about 30 per cent of the corporation's production."


The rebound isn't imminent, the but production declines will eventually bring supply closer to demand.

"We are drawing up a new judicial framework covering the search and extraction of hydrocarbons," Minister for Development Costis Hatzidakis said in comments published Sunday in the Greek daily Eleftherotypia.

Though we are seeing signs of a pick-up in drilling demand in certain areas, there are still more available rigs than drilling tenders. Nonetheless, we continue to believe that the quality of our rigs and our operational reputation will enable us to maintain above-average utilization and day rates for our available jack-ups. Rowan has weathered many down cycles in our 86-year history, and our strong liquidity following our recent note offering puts us in an excellent position to get through this one. We remain very confident in the long-term prospects for offshore drilling in general and for jack-ups in particular."
