JKX Oil and Gas' exposure to European gas helps offset lower oil price
by Fat Prophets


Whilst UK car drivers lament the fact the price of petrol has recently surged beyond 1 per litre, there is little respite in the offing. Despite estimates of a considerable drop in oil consumption this year, signs of an economic recovery are growing in number and a return to increasing levels of oil demand is not far away.

Shareholders in JKX have exposure to bull markets in both commodities. And with the price of oil having dropped significantly from its highs of last summer, JKXs exposure to the increasing price of gas has helped offset the resultant drop in earnings.

This years inaugural quarter has been far from plain sailing. Delays in completion and testing of new development wells at Poltava, Ukraine which hindered output in the final quarter of last year, again proved a significant headwind for production. Indeed the companys 9,876 barrels of oil per day equivalent (boepd) represented a 14 percent drop on last years corresponding period.

Whilst gas production held firm at 41 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd), which equates to approx 6,850 boepd, oil production dropped by 34 percent to 4,687 barrels of oil per day (bopd). Indeed oil revenues took a hit as the average price realised dropped by 56 percent to US$35 per barrel. However at US$7 per thousand cubic feet (Mcf) JKX realised a 36 percent higher gas price.

As we have become accustomed to the bulk of the action at JKX occurs in Ukraine. Average production through the first quarter was 9,876 boe, comprising 41 MMcfd of gas and 3,083 barrels of oil and condensate.

Meanwhile in Russia, the group has started the initial 3 well workover operation in the Koshekhablskoye field, two of which are due for testing this month. And whats more in Hungary, the Hajd Field development is underway and first gas is expected in July 2009.

On the exploration front, JKX remains fully committed to its pursuit of the production of tomorrow. In the Ukraine, PPC has applied for both easterly and westerly extensions to the Zaplavskoye exploration licence. In addition, the Hernad licenses in Hungary have provided further room for optimism.

"

Further a field in Bulgaria, having recently concluded of a 3D seismic survey across the Golitza licenses JKX hopes to identify a drilling prospect later this year. And in Slovakia recently completed seismic surveys have laid the foundations for the next stage of exploration within three large licences.

During a quarter in which the price of oil has toiled, JKXs gas exposure has stepped into the breach and the companys focus on broadening its portfolio of licences gives us cause for optimism going forward. Production may have fallen off so far this year, however with development activity high and an increasing number of seismic surveys underway and completed, earnings at JKX look extremely secure over the long term.

Furthermore, from a valuation perspective the company is trading on an undemanding consensus price-earnings multiple of around 7.5 times 2009 earnings estimates, whilst shares yield 2.4 percent.

Looks like Proactive and Fat phophets are all wrong.

why u say that?

is this on a breakout?

good breakout on this one i believe

surprised no comment on todays good news......great recent surge on this one like i predicted

if memeory serves me right, this was a very fashionable little stock a few years back that went out of fashion, though i know not why .... it's certainly not one i have followed, but though the latest RNS really wasn't that exciting, it should at least give reason for the recent considerable strength to continue - always presupposing of course that the markets themselves stay positive.

these little beauties go un-noticed......not sure why

while others have been catching the limelight for good reason - e.g. TLW, GPK, AFR - JKX have had nothing to say for themselves ...... nevertheless, with sp challenging recent high ground, they could come to life quite sharply, though i suspect 320/340 could be a tricky partch

a buy of 3 shares just went through.......that wasnt you was it cynic?

too many for me!

as long as u stick to ur 10% gain on that 1 share

that should cover all costs and even buy a penny chew!

thats against trades description as it must cost at least 3p these days

also they're diff to eat without teeth! .... perhaps a sherbet lemon would be more apposite, though others might suggest a gobstopper!

can we each of us not give a bag of gobstoppers to mr. g brown

rather give him a kick in the bollocks

i reckon most of uk people would agree with you cynic

hey, can we not organise this for charity......proceeds to africa etc as brown seems to want to chuck lots of money to them

on a slightly more serious note, i refuse to donate to african charities, not because they are not intrinsically deserving, but because african countries are so unbelievably corrupt, they make south america look like the vatican
