We expect strong Q1 reports and bullish management teams. Oil price assumptions up, near-term gas price slightly down. Best risk/reward in AKRBP, VAR, IPC, TGS, ODL, DOFG and SUBC.
Q4 reports to show improvements and management to be bullish, but investors fear lower oil prices and poorer fundamentals ahead. Best risk/reward in AKRBP, EQNR, TGS, ODL, BORR, DOFG, SUB (all BUY).
We expect a slight underlying improvement in Q4e. Focus on Barossa progress - Santos can start drilling. Attractive valuation, but awaiting key triggers.
OPEC will have to extend cuts through Q1'24 before it can increase production. Oil market fundamentals look strong medium- to long-term. Both E&P and oil service shares look highly attractive.
BWO reported USD 60.9m in Q2 EBITDA, well below our USD 77m estimate. This was mostly driven by USD 15m in extraordinary costs linked to decommissioning of two units (Nautipa and Sendje Berge).
We expect EBITDA in Q2e to drop somewhat from USD 79m in Q1, despite units scheduled for divestment having had short-term extensions during the quarter.
