Stockchase Opinions

Wilf Gobert Atlas Energy Ltd AED-T BUY Apr 25, 2006

Primarily involved in heavy oil development. Had a relatively weak 2005 and the market has somewhat punished them. They are in the midst of a huge development program that will result in production probably doubling over 12 months. Summertime is the prime time for heavy oil.

BUY
They are involved in a conventional heavy oil play called Moony and they are using horizontal drilling to exploit it. Original estimates of a field at 14 mi.² is now 18 mi.². Should see 20/30% production growth next year. Trades at a low multiple. Because it is heavy oil, it is vulnerable to oil fluctuations.
BUY
Been a little erratic. Doing okay, it has been a little disappointing. Taken a long time to get things sorted out. Expected production to come on a little faster. Although production has not increased much, their reserves have increased extremely nicely. Expect they will now start getting production increases.
TOP PICK
A very conservative junior. Have a lot of heavy oil in Alberta. Just extended their field significantly. A great candidate for a buyout at $6.
DON'T BUY
Has been a bit of a disappointment over the 2nd quarter and is why the stock has dropped. Didn't meet their production targets.
BUY
A fairly conservative junior. Shallow gas and heavy oil. Competent management. Have lots of property. Could be a takeover.
HOLD
Has just been taken over. Waiting to see how it will work out.
COMMENT
Recently announced new management and new capital coming in. Likes the transaction. Brings much needed capital to the heavy oil project. Lundin family is behind it so it will be well financed and well followed.
HOLD
Merged with Pearl (PXX-X). Good management. What they are drilling is not that exciting. Probably good up through $5.
BUY
as been on this one for three years, and it's gone down. Converting themselves from a hardware company to a software company. Still with them, and like them, although they've been a disappointment
