Good to see NTQ are out there selling - this is the first such exhibition news for 2 years:



"Come and see us at MEOS 2017
March 02 2017

Enteq will be exhibiting at MEOS in Bahrain from the 7th to 9th of March 2017. We will be exhibiting with our Saudi Arabian partners NBC in Hall 1 on booth 34. Please come over and meet the team"

And another interesting slide from the XOM presentation - number 29.

This shows:

Well inventory with > 10% return:

$40/B or $2/KCF: 6,300 Liquids + 1,100 Gas
$60/B or $3/KCF: 10,700 Liquids, 13,600 Gas

If I interpret that correctly, that's a huge number of additional wells that are "economic" at the higher prices, especially on the gas side.

Exxon Mobil having an analyst day today.

In the presentation materials they show $22bn "flexible" capex planned in 2017 and $70bn-$80bn over 2018-20 compared to the managed 2016 total of $19bn.

Permian and Bakken are identified in their list of "short-cycle" upstream projects which look to be about 1/3 of their upstream total in 2017 and over 1/2 in 2018-20. [see slides 19 and 20 of their presentation]

Jim Cramer on CNBC commented on this as bullish for Permian oil companies as it signals a more bullish investment outlook than previously expected.

Hopefully NTQ will ride the wave...

Oh well, if the price is going to move up on light volume I suppose it's not unreasonable for it to move down on light volume as well.

Weir and Petrofac both sounding relatively upbeat in their results this morning. Weir in particular commenting:
"North American markets improving" and "Sequential improvement in orders since Q3, returning to breakeven in Q4"

So hopefully Enteq will be seeing the same trends.

[rivaldo] 20/2/2017 08:44

Looks like 23k of buys late on Friday afternoon, with presumably no stock around. A couple of small sells today have been easily absorbed, so I'd guess there's still demand for more shares out there.

[1gw] 20/2/2017 08:07

Moving up again first thing this morning. Trying to find some volume?

[1gw] 17/2/2017 13:07

Nice move up in the price they're offering to buy at even if (or is it because?) no-one seems to be selling (or buying for that matter)...

News report today:

"DJ Oil Steady as U.S. Shale Shows Signs of Resurgence
By Kevin Baxter and Jenny W. Hsu

Oil prices were little changed Monday as reports of increased drilling in the U.S. dampened appetite among investors following last week's 2% uptick.

The April contract for global crude benchmark Brent was down 0.14% to $56.72 while its U.S. counterpart West Texas Intermediate edged up 0.03% to $53.86 for March deliveries.

Oil-field services company Baker Hughes reported that shale oil rigs in the U.S. grew by 17 last week to total 583. This led many analysts and market observers to predict that 2017 will be the comeback year for shale oil after two years of cost-cutting and bankruptcies.

"We expect a strong revival in U.S. shale oil production and expect yet more rigs to be added to the market," said Bjarne Schieldrop, an analyst with Stockholm-based SEB bank.

He said he believed that spending on U.S. onshore oil exploration and production will rise by 30%-40% in 2017 and the rig-count could be higher than 1,000 by 2019."

thanks for the reply

keep me busy for a while

although i see we already have quite a few in common

[spob] 12/1/2017 17:48

You can see volume on here

[hastings] 12/1/2017 17:20

Also picked a few up today following rivaldo's highlighting the volume.

Not sure whether this interesting read from last month has been posted before, so apologies if that is the case.

[spob] 12/1/2017 17:00

Hi Gingerplant

Interested to know what other stocks you are into at the moment

[gingerplant] 12/1/2017 16:24

Surely it's the price of oil improving?

Market Watch: "Oil prices traded sharply higher on Thursday, getting a boost from indications that major producers are cutting back output, strong demand growth in China and a slide in the dollar.

[cheshire man] 12/1/2017 16:17

Maybe a tip out there we don't know about ? very nice finish to the day anyway :-)

[rivaldo] 12/1/2017 16:17

Agreed re your post 562 1gw. Consistent buying this afternoon indicates to me more than just someone "seeing what happens"!

[1gw] 12/1/2017 15:51

And now someone buying at 23p. What's going on? Someone now short of stock or just seeing what happens if they move the price up?

[1gw] 12/1/2017 14:46

I think a key difference between Enteq and most (if not all) of the other service companies is the huge cash pile that Enteq holds relative to its market cap. Which suggests to me that the underlying business is valued at not much more (or perhaps even less) than breakeven in perpetuity and so I would have thought that the share price ought to be more highly geared to any positive change in sentiment regarding the prospects of the underlying business.

[rivaldo] 12/1/2017 13:44

Interesting - two large trades of 2.24m shares at 19p, and an immediate tick up. Clearance of an overhang?

NTQ seems to have been left behind in the revival of oil service stocks. Perhaps this is the start of a further rerating.

[rivaldo] 04/1/2017 14:47

Three separate fracking projects could finally start in the UK this year. Excellent prospects for NTQ perhaps:



"Three separate fracking projects could crank into action this year as Britain’s shale gas industry finally gets off the starting blocks after years of delay, according to industry chiefs.

Hydraulic fracturing at a site in Kirby Misperton, North Yorkshire, could start within weeks after a judge rejected a legal appeal by environmental campaigners and residents to halt the project, led by Third Energy, just before Christmas.

Activity at the site in North Yorkshire could start within weeks. Two other operators — Cuadrilla Resources and iGas — hope that they will be able to start operations at sites in Lancashire and Nottinghamshire this year.

A proposal from Cuadrilla to drill four wells and frack for shale gas at a site near Blackpool in Lancashire is well advanced. Planning consent has already been granted and Cuadrilla hopes to finalise plans for the scheme by the end of this month, said the company’s spokeswoman Jacqui Reid. “We hope that we can finally get going,” she said, adding that she expected fracking to start this summer."

And:

"Tom Pickering of Ineos Shale, another operator with licences across the East Midlands and Yorkshire, said that the group planned to submit applications to drill about 10 exploratory wells. He said that it planned to invest £500 million in shale development."

[rivaldo] 20/12/2016 08:41

Looking strong at present and moving up on small buying - not much stock around perhaps.

The m/cap is still well below the cash pile.

[paleje] 30/11/2016 14:40

Looks like OPEC is giving US frackers the green light, a few dollars/brl more and they'll be piling back in, then up goes production reversing any benefit from OPEC cuts and the price falls back shooting both OPEC and the frackers in the foot:) At least until demand increases, we don't know about that yet.

All I can say is get in there guys and get some equipment sold pronto.

[paleje] 22/11/2016 16:13

Yes that's pretty much how I see it, Che7win.

But in capping the upside (price wise) they are shooting themselves in the foot because then need higher prices to make fracking sustainable. It's catch 22. So I can see possible near term more business for NTQ but medium-longer term not so clear. Just my opinion, Mr Trump could surprise either way.
