Hi onedb
two reasons why oil....not necessarily valid has you describe but at least relevant right now....
First the world is watching WTI and oilers companies sp are affected by it.
Meaning that if then at result report one realise that because of gas revenue results are better than expected.....even better. But for support/resistance and technical levels is WTI that mainly affect every OiL Producers.
Secondly, and on this I have to be frank and admit it, HBR revenue from gas, factoring in hedges will even slightly increasing on gas production in 2023, will be a factor as much as oil///Brent price, which hedges will reduce some 10mbbo in 2023.
These are very difficult calculations for many reasons but the main factor why gas doesn't excite me much is HBR hedges still in place in 2023. Now saying hat.....if UK gas price were to rise very substantially, like for instance exceeding previous high, (same for US gas) then it would be a factor to take note, for HBR. But for day to day techs. and sp is focus on WTI (for me..)
Indeed has you say
coming H1 are paramount for the BoD in communicating to the Pi plans and potential for HBR, particularly at this moment of sp apparent lack of direction.
We need visibility on future new areas of production and development, new drilling plans and plans to alleviate WT.
These are all areas crying to be explained by the BoD, much more important than the bottom line profit members.
I am sure the market is looking for these info, comes H1 results, in deciding thumb up or thumb down.....
Lets see what happens.
