Usually negative on foreign type holdings but this one is in Yemen, a country that has shown itself to be friendly to international oil interests. Have the political side covered off. Have had very good success in their programs. Trucking product to a refinery and building pipelines, so expect their production will go up.
Small Canadian oil producer in Yemen so part of the political aspect makes it look a little scary. Finally got approval for a pipeline. Have had good drilling results. Generating some pretty good cash flow.
Oil exploration in Yemen. Seem to be having a tough time getting the pipeline through the bureaucracy. Stock is trading about 50% under its NAV. Drilling results continue to be positive. Still trucking their oil to the coast. Good cash flow.
Early stage exploration company. Assets in Yemen, which is a good area. Looks pretty interesting but there’s a lot of work, time and money to be spent in evaluating them. There are other international plays that he likes better. High risk/high reward.
Have some good oil properties in Yemen. He sees no reason why it should have sold off recently. They are working on their pipeline. Everything is slow because of bureaucracy. Definitely a buy under the $4.25 range.
A more speculative stock. Located in Yemen. Old territory for oil/gas companies. Have a really good block of land and have only just begun to scratch the surface. In the process of building a pipeline. Has a long way to go.
A Yemen project. Have run into some hitches in terms of their pipeline. A buy under $6. Until they get that pipeline up and running, the market will just sit and watch. Still working on step outs in their main field. The overall background for the stock is positive.
This is production in Yemen. When you get a general pullback in the market, the smaller, international oils are hit harder because of the perceived risks. Has good long-term upside.
In Yemen so it has some international risk to it. Probably getting close to producing 10,000 barrels a day but half of this is shared. They are trucking at the moment so their new pipeline is going to be important. Would buy at $6.
Big oil companies have been operating in Yemen for 30 years and he doesn't foresee any problems with the government. A lot of the money is local. Would look at any significant weakness as a buying opportunity.
A little speculative as it is in Yemen. The Yemen government is very amenable to companies, particularly if they bring production on. They have lots of drilling ahead of them.
