I don't follow Rheochem so don't know really. It is a small Oil services company: Recent trading update (11th Aug). Maybe punters expecting a return to 9p. Results are due on 31st August. When you get a tip (although this one was second-hand) it is always best to ask why. Why is likely to go up? What price are you expecting? Anyone with good info. will surely know the answers. Another thing is the percentage rise. To get that 10% you would have had to have bought stock a few days ago at say 5.25p. You could possibly sell now at 5.75p. That's hitting the low and the high (probably not possible online). There has been some lumpy trading though. I suppose if you get a tip you might as well dip your toe in!
Rheochem Plc, the oil and gas business with oil services, production,
development and exploration assets, is pleased to provide the following Trading
Update.
Results
As previously outlined, most recently at the interims results, the year to 30th
June 2010 has been one of significant strategic progress balanced by a weaker
short term trading performance.
The year to 30th June 2010 has been characterised by a reduction in traditional
exploration & development activity onshore Australia. In addition, widespread
flooding in Queensland, in the second half of the year also had the effect of
delaying a variety of projects. Despite that, Rheochem does not believe it is
has suffered any reduction in market share and activity levels have already
begun to improve.
The Company's full year results are due to be published at the end of August and
we expect to report revenues in the region of $20 and EBITDA of between
$3m-$3.5m for Oilfield Services, ex-central costs. Group EBITDA is expected to
be around break-even.
Oilfield Services
Australia - Rheochem has a contract to provide services offshore North West
Shelf valid until end of December 2010 and an onshore services contract valid
until May 2011. The Company has tendered to replace the existing contract for a
three year term onshore contract, with an option for a further two years, and
expects a decision on this tender within 30 days.
India - Oil and Natural Gas Company India ("ONGC"), a new customer for Rheochem,
has successfully completed its first well on its Tripura onshore asset in
Agartala, India and additional work is expected to develop from this. Work has
also completed on HOEC's work on the appraisal well at HOEC's Dirok gas
discovery onshore on Block AAP-ON-94/1 in the state of Assam India. The
existing contract has an option for further extension at HOEC's discretion.
Non Traditional Drilling
Geothermal - Rheochem has been an active participant in the geothermal drilling
industry for a number of years and has provided services to some of the hottest
and deepest wells in Australia. Rheochem has two current contracts in New
Zealand to provide drilling fluids and services. Activity and market acceptance
is now becoming widespread and Australia is set to become a major player in this
market. Rheochem has tendered on a significant project where it has been able
to showcase its ultra-high temperature drilling fluid range.
Coal Bed Methane - Whilst the long term prospects for Coal Bed Methane in
Eastern Australia are highly positive, the recent flooding in Queensland and
initial uncertainty in relation to proposed taxation changes has delayed some
projects. Rheochem already has a number of contracts in place and tenders
underway and is well placed to capitalise on the large drilling programmes that
these projects will require.
Overall, our expectation remains that 2010/2011 revenues will be approximately
50% higher than 2009/10.
Strategy
As well as developing its Oilfield Services (Drilling Fluids) business
internationally, Rheochem has an interest in three potentially high impact E&P
assets in the UK North Sea. A 10% interest in Block 14/18b which contains the
Athena discovery; a 100% interest in Block 14/11 containing the large Metis
prospect; and a 90% interest in Block 14/26b containing the Thunderball gas
discovery.
The Company continues to review funding options for the Athena Project which
include but are not limited to project development funding; other debt
instruments; farm out or trade sale of E&P assets; trade sale of the services
business, equity raising, and the demerger of the E&P subsidiary with
independent funding. Rheochem expects to be in a position to report on progress
later this month.
North Sea Block 14/11 - following the extension to the North Sea Block 14/11 to
21st December 2010, Rheochem continues to actively market the asset with a view
to bringing in a farm out partner.
Commenting on the announcement Haydn Gardner, CEO of Rheochem, said:
"The 2010 financial year has been one of strategic development for Rheochem.
Although the Company has witnessed somewhat weaker short term trading, the Board
remains confident with a substantial future pipeline and looks forward to
updating shareholders on the progress with its E&P assets."
In accordance with AIM guidelines, Haydn Gardner, B.App.Sc and CEO of Rheochem
is the qualified person that has reviewed the technical information contained in
this press release. Haydn Gardner has 20 years of experience in the oil and gas
industry.
