Kina Petroleum
We don't often market smaller unknown IPOs to investors but our relationship with Kina's Managing Director has highlighted this as a potential opportunity to our readers.
Overview - Kina Petroleum are an Oil & Gas Exploration company, drilling in Papua New Guinea and have partnered with larger well known companies such Oil Search and Horizon. Unlike most IPOs, Kina has a very short anticipated timescale to the results of their first well (expected end of December). The funds raised are being directed towards their share of the cost of drilling expenses.
We note that Kina's first well is drilling a previous BP discovery from 1991, and is likely to be more a question of how large a discovery this is. At the time, oil was trading at $18 a barrel and the mixture of oil and gas was considered too labour intensive which led to BP sealing the discovery. Kina has since picked up the rights to this well and are now drilling this in conjunction with Horizon & Talisman (who recently paid over $5 million for a further 5% stake in Kina's 1st well, PRL 21, valuing Kina's remaining share at over $15 Million).
Page 15 of the presentation also highlights the drilling rights and a major discovery in by Interoil in PNG. Investors will note that Kina lays claim to the leases over much of the surrounding areas and has already received interest to explore these areas.
Overall, our view is that this is a speculative investment, but with the results of the first well anticipated towards the end of this year, and a free Option with every three shares at the 20c listing price, we feel this has some real potential for high returns. |
