Oil rallied further on disputes and a mixed inventory report. IGas chose interim day to sack CEO Steve Bowler and Sound yesterday announced further legal grief in Morocco. With UOG spudding in Egypt and Reabold getting another market knee in the groin Longboat has added to the mainly miserable day.
Oil fell sharply after Opec added only 100/- b/d which is totally meaningless. Petrofac announce a decent contract, UOG report oil in Egypt and Getech have a very good contract.
Oil fell back with the differential widening again. Today Diversified make a decommissioning acquisition and UOG update as do Coro. From yesterday I catch up with VOG, Block and Deltic.
Oil was sharply down on recessionary fears amongst other problems. Touchstone has said that regulatory requirements are being addressed and Angus are still on target at Saltfleetby. Getech continues to impress with contracts and UOG have a duster in Egypt.
With the US shut for July 4th celebrations oil markets were open elsewhere and rallied on better economic news from the Far East as well as the imminent Norwegian oil workers strike which starts today and builds over the next few days. Today a cracking update has seen PetroTal force me to up my TP yet again. Also I write up a chat I recently had with Brian Larkin of United Oil & Gas.
The US was shut for Juneteenth Day yesterday and today oil has rallied by well over a dollar. Reabold and Union Jack have announced a major and exciting plan for West Newton development the value of which dwarfs the combined companies market caps. Scirocco are urging shareholders to accept the Ruvuma deal and UOG have spudded in Egypt.
With US markets closed due to Memorial Day today is pretty irrelevant, last week oil was pretty good as a supply shortage, particularly in products pushed oil up sharply. Today DEC announce a good piece of securitisation work giving scope for future deals, Egdon and Union Jack celebrate FDP approval at Wressle, Rockhopper results, Arrow bring on RCE-2, Echo update from Argentina and UOG may have a duster in Egypt, more testing needed. And Savannah announced late on Friday a renewable deal in Chad.
After the substantial rise in the oil price last week and again yesterday oil is lower today. Rockhopper has announced that the Sea Lion farm-out has gone ahead and Empyrean has announced good interim results from its Jade well. Trinity has a Q1 update , UOG meet Q1 production guidance and Arrow look to have a successful well in Colombia.
Oil was down last week and is now off another 3 bucks today. Ineos boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe make a very good case for fraccing in the Sunday Telegraph. DEC have published their sustainability report and Genel detail KRG sales and payments. Angus have done a small raise today, wise given the bidding timetable has overrun a bit. Afentra updates on Sonangol and Coro has signed up on a new deal in Vietnam. Longboat have spudded Cambozola it's one of the biggest gas prospects around. Lamprell, I just don't know what is going on, it seems like good progress in wind but oil & gas going well is up for sale. UOG has confirmed its sale in Italy to Prospex and is now well financed but needs to spend the money.
After a big week last week oil is down by around $8 today as Covid in Shanghai is being dealt with. A good revenue announcement from Union Jack Oil from Wressle which goes from strength to strength. Touchstone results were good but also prove they are about to get wells onstream and with cash to spend. UOG have brought onstream the ASD-2 well at Abu Sennan in Egypt and also they have added another well to the programme. Finally more warrant conversions at Empyrean is good news.
