One of his favourites in large caps. Have done a great job until their problems with Horizon and getting that on stream is going to take a bit of time. There are 2 parts to the premium. 1) Middle east because of supply coming off and 2) weaker US$ issue. Weaker oil would bring the stock down so if you see it in the Mid $30's range would be a fabulous buy.

Oil. Tunisia had very little production so it’s not an issue but Libya was producing about 1.8 million and exporting about 1.6 million barrels of light crude. Europe refineries were configured to handle that light crude. Losing that required Saudi and others to create product that would be applicable to those refineries. Given the shortage people were prepared to pay a premium. What’s next? Yemen and Syria each export a couple hundred thousand barrels a day. What happens if something happens to Saudi and that’s what the market is starting to price in. If it all settles down, we’ll be back to the $70-$80 oil but it will take a long time.

Natural Gas. Bullish. In Oct/Nov at $3.20 of the NYMX contract he felt it was way under the value that was needed economically. Since then he has seen the US production is beginning to slow down.

Middle East. These countries need the revenues, such as tourism. Getting a decision on how governments will go on, on a going forward basis, needs to be done fairly quickly. The problem is that 50% of the population in these countries is under 25 years of age and most are unemployed. This is what caused them to go to the streets. Governments were subsidizing the staples such as food and energy. Once they removed the subsidies or raised prices, you had cost pressures at the same time as a very bleak job picture.

Colombian basin. Had some problems recently with a tax on the pipeline system. Costayaco play has continued to work out for them. Should do about $.80 in cash flow. As upside in other areas of Colombia and will be doing some high impact exploration drilling. Also have upside in Peru. Pristine balance sheet.

In Kurdistan with Niko Resources (NKO-T) as their main partner. Niko is talking about drilling in either Q1 or Q2 of 2010. Prefers to play this through Niko or WesternZagros (WZR-X).

If there is an oil price correction as expected you might see the stock below $1.30. If the stock has not corrected by end of September, early October then you want to be a buyer

New management changes. Just announced their first deal in Egypt with Premier Oil Overseas taking on wells that can do a couple of thousand barrels a day. They will take a 10% interest. Looking for more deals and he is hoping they will be up to do that. Stock is at about $.17 and they have about $0.08 in cash.

Ramp up of production announced a while ago. Good price, sheltered from tax. Already working in projects in other countries. Major risk of getting project on line is over. Buy after a correction in oil prices.

PCA is great acquisition for Suncor. 95% chance of it going forward. They will sell off some of the non-core assets. They are high beta to the price of oil.

Worst of the recession is behind us, but US inventories are way too high. Chance for a significant correction. Oil could go to $40-42.
