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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
