DON'T BUY
Sep 14, 2006
Not on his stock watch list. Prefers sectors that are out of favour and then cherry pick. Not a lot to pick from in the energy sector. As a contrarian, would not buy at this time.
The cost of finding oil for them is very cheap. Had a couple of unsuccessful wells which took the stock down last year. Likes the management and they have the money.
Starting to drill again in Tunisia. Having a tough time because the Chaal operation didn't work as expected. If they can get the volumes up, it could get back up to $1.00.
Caller: They just completed #2 injection well and are completing #3 production well. Estimated that 3000-4000 barrels a day will be produced. Ken - Chart shows an uptrend earlier in the year, followed by a pullback in August and is now basically sideways. It will become an uptrend if it breaks through its highs.
Had a bounce recently because of their production from the El Bibane field, which was having some problems. Tunisia is a tough basin and they did not have the success expected on the gas and oil. He is sceptical on Tunisia.
