DON'T BUY
Apr 04, 2008
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.
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.
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.
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.
