  • Seismic Reflections
    9 December 2011 Seismic reflections Listening out for the Falklands jungle drums Interest in Falklands oil exploration has dwindled during 2011 as investors limit exposure to the frontier region. However, with Rockhopper nearing the end of its extended Sea Lion appraisal campaign, a second discovery having been confirmed in the shape of Casper, and most critically the Leiv Eiriksson drilling rig coming over the horizon to start drilling in the South Falklands Basin, we expect interest to pick up significantly in the new year. Enthusiasm may not reach the peaks of 2010’s hysteria, but the region continues to offer some of the cheapest proven oil in the ground along with Analysts excellent upside for the frontier exploration investor.

  • Interim Manager's Report for the Period Ended 14 October 2010
    Distribution Number 12 Legal & General UK Active Opportunities Trust Interim Manager’s Report for the period ended 14 October 2 010 (Unaudited) Contents Page Number Manager’s Investment Report 2 Authorised Status 4 Directors’ Statement 4 Portfolio Statement 5 Statement of Total Return 8 Statement of Change in Net Assets attributable to Unitholders 8 Balance Sheet 9 Notes to the Financial Statements 10 Trust Facts 11 Performance Record 12 General Information 14 1 Manager’s Investment Report Investment Objective and Policy The investment objective of this Trust is to secure capital growth from UK securities, which offer recovery prospects and which may be selected from all economic areas. The Manager will select shares whose prices are undervalued and generally do not yet reflect earnings potential. Manager’s Investment Report During the period under review, the bid price of the Trust’s E-Class distribution units fell by 3.96% compared to a fall of 0.48% in the FTSE All-Share Index on a price return basis (Source: Bloomberg) . Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of investments and income from them may go down as well as up. Exchange rate changes may cause the value of any overseas investments to rise or fall. Market/Economic Review The UK stockmarket price level was little changed over the period, though individual shares were again volatil e. Markets took a dip on fears regarding some European economies, notably Greece, and the EU had to act to support Greece’s ability to access funding. In the UK , economic conditions remained fragile, with the new government indicating spending cuts which could affect consumer confidence.

Pioneering moves were made into Kurdistan in the 2000s by the likes of Gulf Keystone and Hunt Oil, with considerable drill-bit success. In late July, two important Kurdistan exploration and development deals were announced. These involve Afren acquiring interests in two PSCs with sizeable contingent reserves and a Hess-Petroceltic partnership signing two PSCs for exploration purposes.

Asset divestment by the majors is opening the market to mid-level independents. (Page 2) The valuation of E&P assets is still low, as many companies are cash-constrained. Greater access to capital is necessary for this to change. (Page 2) Shell has said it plans to sell US$15 billion worth of assets over the next two years. (Page 7) The company is to sell off some of its North Sea oilfields as well as parts of its refining portfolio and some early-stage projects. (Page 7) Major gas developments in the East Mediterranean are advancing more slowly than expected as economic and political problems take their toll. US firm Noble does not plan to drill more wells in the East Med until late 2014 at the earliest. (Page 4) Cyprus’ fragile economy makes investment in key energy infrastructure difficult.

  • Its Impact on Atlantic Basin Energy and Energy Relations with the Non-Atlantic World 1
    Chapter Two The African Hydrocarbons Boom: Its Impact on Atlantic Basin Energy and Energy Relations with the Non-Atlantic World 1 Benjamin Augé Over the past decades the oil sector has changed drastically, thanks to geologists who placed their trust in the potential of new zones that had long remained underexplored. The increase in the price of Brent crude after 2003 (rising from $28/bbl to $94/bbl by 2008, and then climbing to $110/bbl in 2012) helped oil firms raise funds to explore new regions and allowed them to take more risks. This relatively high price level resulted from several geopolitical disruptions which con - tinue to have global repercussions. These have included: (1) the Iraq war; (2) rising tensions with Iran over its nuclear program; (3) Venezuela’s massive strike in 2006 and its long-term effects; (4) the wave of violence since 2006 in Nigeria’s Niger Delta; (5) recurring terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia; and (5) Hurricane Katrina in 2005, among others. In any case, the seemingly-secular rise in the price of oil in the past decade reflects, to a large degree, a thirst for oil in emerging countries, particularly in China and India. By 2012, the worldwide market was demanding 10 million more barrels per day of oil (mbd) than it had a decade earlier, bringing total global oil demand to its current level of 90 mbd. Editor’s note: this chapter was written when oil prices were around $100 /bbl— before their recent decline. Although a long period with prices at their current levels— $50-$60 /bbl— would price out of the market much of Africa’s new potential supply— the central subject of this chapter— it is likely that prices will actually stabilize within a higher range, somewhere between $70 and $80/bbl.
