Petronas shuts down 14 projects until oil price recovers April 24, 2020 @ 10:07am
KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) is said to have reduced the number of its fully active rigs from 18 to four since oil price began dropping late last year.
The national oil company had shut down or warm-stacked 14 projects until oil price recovers to break even levels, an industry publication reported, quoting sources. Warm-stacking involves temporarily shutting down operations but maintaining minimal activity as a cost-saving measure. "Petronas is unable to maintain its operation at the current price because its rigs are mainly in deepwater, which are more expensive to run," the report said, putting the break even level at around US$70 a barrel. Petronas did not respond to the New Straits Times' queries at press time. Petronas' purported cost-cutting measure reflects the sentiments of the global oil and gas industry.
It's back to square one for oil rig related company like Velesto which rent oil rigs to Petronas
For T7 global it is not affected by oil rigs as it is doing subsea maintenance job
Look at it this way
A fishing company located near seaside has many division of labour
1. A factory to process fish
2. A fishing fleet of vessels going to deep sea to catch fish
Now fish prices have crashed below cost of fishing
So just stop going out to deep sea and fish No.1. (Velesto extract oil. Cost of oil extraction is usd70. Price now Usd25. So say bye bye to velesto . Sayonara
No.2. The factory?
Factory is asset. So just maintain it till fish prices rebound
T7 is maintaining the Subsea facility
So T7 very ok
Should you buy T7 global now?
No need as price will remain status quo
NOW GLOVE IN BULL RUN
So we go buy Glove stocks like Es_ceramic now. Es_ceramic will make more money so that with the PROFITS we can buy more T7 later
Last year when oil was usd60 to Usd70 many countries including Petronas saw oil counters going into bull run like dayand carimin (currymee) penergy and uzma all up from 300% to 600%
Oil then Was Usd60 to Usd70 Was the strong CATALYST
Now oil crashed 60% to only Usd22. So game over for oil
this company recently grabs alot contracts from petronas carigali with long term period, provide more than 2-4years contract,company and substantial shareholder buy back alot of shares during correction time.it may be a star of oil n gas.buy on weakness and be patient.
Today most O&G counter drop, but this one still surge up.. Maybe this could be the leader for this round of O&G trend. Will test 52 weeks high (53 sen) within this two weeks.
