It's meetings week as the Fed, ECB, BoE and Opec all have policy shindigs. Today Chariot have acquired a renewable water production business which looks smart and GKP have a detailed update. Trinity also update the market after last week's announcement.
Oil even yesterday as inventory stats were better than the API. Today PetroTal publish ESG data, GKP receipts from the KRGand UOG update in detail. Finally Trinity have announced that they are going to drill the Jacobin well which would be a significant one.
A positive day for oil as China Covid numbers eased and the dollar eased. A good update from Zephyr, and Union Jack announced a maiden special dividend and a share buy-back. Predator are on the move in Morocco and Trinity liked the last buy-back so much that they are doing it all over a game.....From last week I look at IOG, and Reabold.
Oil fell sharply as worries about the Chinese growth stats didnt appear. Today IOG have announced some technical and operational problems but as yet no change in reserves. Trinity announce a 3Q update and Europa are paying off the Wressle loan from UJO.
Oil was very quiet yesterday unchanged on the day. Ithaca is returning to the London market and Genel and GKP announce KRG payments whilst Trinity complete the buy-back programme. Finally I get to meet with the management of Southern Energy Corp and have issued an initiation Target Price of 150p.
Oil rose a touch on Friday but was still down on the week, the Fed meeting that starts today will increase rates but by how much? Today San Leon indicate more production from Decklar and Jadestone have Interims but until Montara is back the jury will be out. Predator say how well Mag Mell is being received and also have a detailed interim statement. Trinity production fell in H1 but with more drilling 2H should be better and Providence Resources are to become Barryroe Offshore Energy, well I never.
Oil fell again last week but today Brent is still $104. Trinity has updated on Q2 production which is the same as usual as is guidance for this year. A fully funded drilling programme is under way to change production from mid 2023. SDX has heard that Aleph Commodities has a 25.65% stake and is likely to vote against the Tenaz bid. GKP announced on Friday that it received $38.1m net from the KRG.
Another rally from oil after the comments about Opec+ production crept into the market. At Union Jack the capital reduction update paves the way for a dividend. Predator have FY 2021 figures and Angus are very close to first gas at Saltfleetby. I speak to Marshall Abbott, CEO of Arrow Energy Corp which is highly illuminating and Trinity starts a six well drilling programme and SDX spud MSD-23.
Oil is actually fairly quiet at the moment, it won't last... Today Angus has announced that it is buying in the 49% of Saltfleetby that it doesnt already own in a smart deal. Coro update the market, Trinity have full year results and Helium One Global are off drilling again...
Oil is relatively strong ahead of the Opec meeting on Thursday. IOG have given a detailed update and SDX have a good result at South Disouq. Finally Trinity have 'paused' the Galeota farm-down process which is a disappointment.
