Sector Update
- We cannot deny that there has been a stream of good news for the oil & gas sector that suggests that upstream activity is turning more positive. However, we believe that investors should view all news flow in perspective given there are still underlying economic issues that could pull sentiment down.
- The positive news flow include: 1) higher rig counts for Southeast Asia in June: 2) successful capping of BP’s Macondo well which implies that there is less likelihood of Gulf of Mexico assets flooding this region; and 3) potential for more new listing proposals in the sector. Conditions are also ripe for more corporate restructurings within the sector given valuations have fallen back despite positive long-term outlook.
