RE: Put some power in your portfolio – with the North Sea’s oil and gas17 Nov 2019 09:24
"The shares are £17.35 and should increase in value as the business expands and profits increase.
The North Sea oil and gas landscape has changed considerably in recent years – and it continues to do so. Large US players are turning their attention to domestic operations. Japanese groups, which once saw the UK as a springboard to Europe, are no longer sure whether that notion holds water. And several UK firms are laden with debt.
That means assets are up for sale, often at bargain basement prices. RockRose has completed six transactions since it was founded and several more are in the pipeline. Just because there are willing sellers however, that does not mean the assets themselves are unattractive. They are simply neglected, offering plenty of potential for improvement under more caring owners.
And RockRose is a caring owner. From a standing start, the company is now producing more than 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (including gas). It is profitable, has around £220million free cash and is keen to deploy that money both to reward shareholders and buy new assets.
Big investors are enthusiastic and the shares have performed well. However, there is plenty of room for further gains. The free cash alone is equivalent to almost £17 per share, which suggests that the oil and gas acreage is substantially undervalued."
