The Independant - The Investment Column: JKX Oil dogged by reserves uncertainty and price premium

Our view: Avoid

Share price: 298p (-9p)

"Annual results from JKX Oil & Gas yesterday made great reading for the group's shareholders. Both its profits and dividend doubled thanks to strong oil and gas prices. The bulk of the JKX's production is in the Ukraine. Although prices here are around half the level seen in Europe they are increasing at quite a pace which is great news for the FTSE 250 group. Last year alone domestic gas prices in the Ukraine rose by 55 per cent...........................However, not all is rosy at the company. It needs to replace its reserves which at the last count stood at just 44 million barrels of oil equivalent. JKX "

JKX Oil & Gas PLC said it has completed and tested the deeper of two hydrocarbon bearing intervals in Well R102 on the Rudenkovskoye Field at Poltava, Ukraine. The well -- the second new well to be drilled on the field -- has also been tied back to its production facility via a 4.5 km flowline.

Well R102 flowed at an average rate of 7.7 mln cu ft of gas, 90 bbls of condensate and 230 bbls of water per day.

Since drilling Well R102, JKX said the Skytop N75 rig has drilled and completed Well M160, which targeted a northerly extension to the Molchanovskoye field, with testing slated for next week.

Booming ahead again today!

What an amazing day for JKX. The stock market is plummeting, shares are in freefall and yet, admidst this sea of red, JKX is up 13.5%. Incredible!

quite right .... terrific performance .... also, to my total amazement, IEC were pretty solid too

Another good day:

JKX Oil & Gas plc ('JKX') announces that it has completed and tested Well M158 as part of its ongoing drilling programme at Poltava, Ukraine. The well has been tied back to the Company's production facility via a new 7 km flowline.

During testing Well M158 flowed at a stabilised rate of 1.3 million cubic feet of gas and 45 barrels of condensate per day with a wellhead flowing pressure of 230 psi through a 50/64 inch choke.

Well M158 is a vertical well in the northern area of the Molchanovskoye field. It was drilled to a depth of 2,669 metres and completed in 20 metres of Tournaisian carbonates and Tournaisian sandstones.

The Kremco 900 rig has been moved to the southern part of the Ignatovskoye Field, and is currently drilling Well I130 which is scheduled for completion next month.

JKX Oil & Gas said well M162 at its Poltava licence in Ukraine flowed 3.9 mln cubic feet of gas and 120 barrels of condensate per day in testing. The well, which was drilled as an appraisal to the northerly extension of the Molchanovskoye Field identified in Well M160, has been tied back to the company's production facility via a new flowline.

JKX said well M161, the first follow-up to the successful M160 which was completed in May, is awaiting acidisation. The Kremco rig is now drilling a further appraisal Well I130 to evaluate the potential for an extension northwards into the Ignatovskoye licence area.

JKX Oil & Gas reported weak H1 profits - MoneyAM


JKX Oil & Gas reported weak profits in the first half and stated that performance in the second half will be consistent with expectations.

Pretax profit in the six months to June fell to $55.7m from $56.4m, while net profit declined to $37.6m from $43.3m. Previous year's figures were flattered by a $15.2m reversal of a portion of an impairment provision against Ukrainian assets it booked in 1998.

Revenue grew 40% to $84.7m after a 20% rise in production to 13,008 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Looking forward, CEO, Paul Davies, said: 'We expect the company's performance in the second half to be in line with the board's expectations.'

Nice results

All is still well here.
Most will look at the weak profits bit as a headline :-)))) lol

regards

Indeed the results were fine Dr Square and the falls have been well overdone.

Still falling (currently 331p to buy) which I find a bit surprising. Maybe just profit taking & a few stop losses kicking in.
320p looks to be the chart support level. Could be slightly worrying if it falls below that level, but at some point should be a good buying opportunity, imo.

Nicely back up today against a falling market.

JKX Oil & Gas said it has completed and tested Well I129 as part of its continuing drilling programme at Poltava in Ukraine. The well flowed at an average rate of 4.6 million cubic feet of gas and 180 barrels of condensate per day, the group said.

The well targeted a separate fault block to the northwest of the successful Well I128, which was completed in August. The Skytop 75 rig is now drilling well I131, an appraisal well of the Molchanovskoye Tournasian carbonate discovery, the company added.

Anyone have any ideas why JKX seems to be falling off a cliff these last few days?

many of the oil stocks have been having a bad time these last few days for no entirely obvious reason, and i'm not talking about the minnows in whom i have no real interest ....... JKX has the additional burden of working in russia which adds further volatility ..... POG, though a miner, has suffered similarly, though showed some late recovery today

Morning

Well if its not Blue today something is wrong ! With the Dow and oil up overnight.

Regards

jkx is in ukraine, NOT russia.

also beware any share that cynic is interested in...........it usually plummets!!!!!!

thankfully i bought and sold and made a nice gain on this some months ago

prick! ..... whether based in russia itself or fsu, there is enhanced risk for much the same reasons ...... in fact, i dare say if you followed my advice a bit more, whether to buy or short or just avoid, you may have done rather better for yourself ...... did you short NRK or SOLA as suggested? ..... did you buy SCHE, TAN, PFC, IEC, POG as/when suggested, and to name but a few? ...... have you traded the indices as suggested? ..... all these, and others, have done very well, though i own up (unlike you) to blunders as well.
