Russia is preparing a "shale boom"

Deposits of unconventional oil in Western Siberia will enable the country to maintain production of 10 million barrels per day

1 Apr 2013,


Russia is preparing to make a boom in shale oil and gas on a scale similar to that in SASHT by applying new techniques for the extraction of unconventional reserves in Siberia, the Financial Times reported, citing a senior official of "Lukoil". According to Vice President Leonid Fedun company in Russia's second largest oil producer in the world after Saudi Arabia, shale oil reserves are enough to offset the decline in conventional production. This will allow the country to maintain production of 10 million . bpd by 2020 as goal the president Vladimir Putin. According Fedun is "absolutely realistic, but only if we introduce the proposed fiscal relief." The government promised to introduce industry tax breaks for companies that develop Bazhenov Shale field in western Siberia. potential development experts have long ranked Russia among the countries with the potential to make "shale revolution" similar to that in North America. Besides the huge unconventional deposits factors are highly developed oil industry and weak opposition from environmentalists, who managed to block shale mining in some European countries. According to the state geological survey, quoted in New York Times, the overall shale oil in Western Siberia probably between 80 and 140 billion barrels. Even a small percentage of that, however, will significantly increase the potential of the country whose proven conventional oil reserves amount to 67 billion barrels. According to analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch deposit of shale Bazhenov will be able to extract 500 thousand barrels per day - about 5% of the current production in Russia. Experts compare its potential with that of the most successful strike in the United States - North Dakota Backe. Its development is expected to bring tax revenue to the government of $ 7 billion annually. largest Russian energy companies - government "Rosneft" and "Gazprom Neft" and the largest private "Lukoil" started projects for exploration and production in Bazhenov. To deposit interest and foreign companies such as Exxon Mobil Statoil and Shell, which are included in the studies through joint ventures. The most profitable is expected to "Rosneft", which expects to add 5 billion barrels to the current 23 billion reserves in developed fields of it. " catching up and overtaking "the U.S.













The development of the deposits is far not easy, at least for that equipment necessary for horizontal drilling is much more difficult in Siberia than in the U.S.. Moreover, there are still many uncertainties about the geology of the region. "It will take a lot of research and exploration, while ascertaining what potential the Bazhenov," said Thane Gustafson for Russia and the Caspian region's energy consultancy IHS CERA. Even the most skeptical experts agree, however, that the reserves can be enormous. Another consultant company - Wood Mackenzie, in Bazhenov deposits were five times more than those in Backe. Despite expected difficulties the industry is stimulated by the opportunity to replicate the success in the U.S. where hydraulic fraking technologies like horizontal drilling and made ​​accessible deposits whose exploitation has long been thought to be unprofitable. Originally boom began with shale gas but recently spread to oil, which is significantly lower energy prices in the U.S.. between industries in both countries, however, a significant difference, since the original launch in U.S. shale production is given by small and independent companies like Anadarko, Apache and Chesapeake. Currently, these companies are responsible for about half of U.S. production, while in Russia the independent sector has minimal presence through companies such as Urals Energy, PetroNeft and Irkutsk Oil. A major successes reported dealing with the extraction of oil sands Ruspetro, which last year listed on the London Stock Exchange.

I have topped up this morning!My logic (for what's it's worth!) is based on extracts from their prelim results 18 March 2013:Positives:Proved oil/condensate reserves are 234 million barrels2012 production averaged 4,639 barrels per day = 1.7 million per yearThe reserves = 137 yrs @ 2012 production Revenue for 2012 was $76 million, resulting in a loss of $6.2 million. They comment that the final 1/4 of 2012 they made a profit of $2.4 millionI therefore conclude that they are likely to make a useful profit in 2013, as their current production(6,374 boepd) is 37% up on 2012. There is also the newly discovered gas reserves. Their capitalisation is only £80mNegatives:Poor history!Capital raising might impact on spAny thoughts about my maths?

Shake out this morning?!?!

[acefromspace] 02/4/2013 19:28

Any fact behind that Jammytass?

[jammytass] 02/4/2013 17:11

news on financing deal very soon and a few more tasty rns on the way

[m w] 02/4/2013 16:55

dont know but bought some more

[acefromspace] 02/4/2013 15:11

wow - what a day here and the board is dead quiet.

Was it a shake pre news on financing ?

[riseup2] 31/3/2013 15:25

It has certainly restored at least some of the confidence back, @ 13p and with the string of disaster RNS's did make it seem the company was going under, but now I believe the risk of bankruptcy is limited. Lets put it this way, the upside is greater than the downside. The financing news will make this rally, and any good news will make this rocket. I'm confident again, there is no way the director's would buy significant shares if there wasn't firm arrangements for refinancing.. its just a matter of time when its announced

when this went to 13p I was considering selling but I took the gamble to average down.. glad it paid off! its an end to seeing this fall everyday! was a painful experience indeed..

[darcon] 31/3/2013 11:45

I think the fact that the present worth value at the most conservative discount rate of 20% is approximately twice the value of the debt goes some way to explain why Directors have bought significant amounts of shares in past week.

[darcon] 31/3/2013 11:41

And for those who like a bit of blue sky. The present worth of the proved plus probable according to the latest D&M 2012 YE report is:

US$10.4 billion @ 10% discount rate
US$6.2 billion @ 15% discount rate
US$3.8 billion @ 20% discount rate.

[darcon] 31/3/2013 11:36

Interesting that the present worth value of the proved reserves has doubled from the previous reserves report. Also, the previous reserves report gave values for 8%, 10%, 12% and 15%. The new reserves report gives values for 8%, 10%, 15% and 20%. Only the 10% numbers are presented in the report in detail.

The fact that even at a discount rate of 20% the present worth is in excess of $700m should I think be seen as a positive.
