RH Petrogas amasses 4.1% more barrels in 2Q

Credits to the Basin production sharing contract.

RH Petrogas remains a key player in the oil and gas sector as it continues to see profit growth in 2014.

In a report by RHB, it was shown that RH Petrogas’ 2Q14 results were healthy with c.4,300boepd (barrels of oil equivalent per day) of production, 4.1% higher than FY13’s average of 4,130boepd.

EBITDAX (EBITDA excluding exploration expenses) was USD8.2m in2Q14, up 6% y-o-y, in line with the increase in production.

RHB adds that there is no progress on the Fuyu-1 project as takeover talks are still ongoing. The Fuyu-1 approval appears to have been delayed by the ongoing corruption trials in China, and RHB sees the final stamp coming after the dust settles.

RH Petrogas trades at an EV/(2P+2C) of USD5.39/boe. Of its 81.6mmboe (million barrels of oil equivalent) in reserves and resources, 71% are in oil. This compares favourably against peers like KrisEnergy (KRIS SP, NR) whose ratio is 17%.

Here’s more from RHB:

As RH Petrogas’ share price has retraced 21% from its recent high and now offers 61% upside, RHB adds the stock (again) to our top alpha list. Our TP values the company at an EV/(2P+2C) of USD8.74/boe. Potential catalysts include: i) M&As of brownfield assets, ii) the upgrade of 2C resources to 2P reserves, and iii) the approval of Fuyu-1. Key risks include unsuccessful exploration expenses and unexpected maintenance requirements.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
