Chemoil Ene USD   

CHEMOIL

This is a good stock for the long term. In the meanwhile, price should continue to fall as there are not much reasons to support it at this moment...

 

Most likely sell off will continue.  However according to report, the higher expenses was due to some storage problem in Singapore.  Now that they have sorted that out, the next quarter result should reflect better profits.

 

Qtrly results look pretty bad. Sell off will continue on Monday?.

 

Results just out. Reported lower profits 2nd quarter YOY. Insiders would have known about this and therefore stock has been falling steadily....

 

This counter has been going down for the past few days.  Guess it has to do with the US subprime thingy..  What's the co-relations?  Or just some panic sellers?

 

Hi oil_madness,

I read it from a Reuters article.

 

Hi Zhu ge liang

Do you have the article relating to the speculation of the takeover of Chemoil by private equity?

Thanks

 

Chemoil is investing US$60 million in a new oil storage terminal in Fujairah, the world's 2nd largest bunker port after Singapore. The investment will ramp up capacity at its JV GPS-Chemoil facility in UAE with local partner Gulf Petrol Supplies. Chemoil holds a 40% stake in the JV, and GPS the remainder.

The capacity of the existing 44,000 m³ JV terminal, currently handling clean oil products, will be increased 6-fold to 326,000 m³ when the project is completed next year, Jerry Lorenzo, Chemoil's CFO said.

 

There's speculation that the firm may become subject to a takeover offer after U.S.-listed offshore driller Transocean Inc. announced an US$18 billion takeover bid for a peer.

Transocean Inc., the world's largest offshore driller, said that it would buy offshore oil&gas drilling contractor GlobalSantaFe Corp. for nearly US$18 billion.

The offer comes after months of speculation that the oil supply sector would consolidate to take advantage of the huge spending increases by oil producers, especially for the development of offshore fields.

"People are speculating that a private equity firm might buy Chemoil after the Transocean deal," a dealer at a local Singapore bank said.

 

Hi, any take for this counter?

 

What happen now?? Good News.... yet down

 

 

=DJ INTERVIEW: Singapore Chemoil Eyes Future LSFO Demand Growth (2007-07-10 09:18:00)

SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--Singapore-listed marine fuel products supplier Chemoil Energy Ltd. (AV5.SG) is positioning itself for a big rise in Asian demand for low sulfur fuel oil for ships, including setting aside space in a huge storage facility it is building.

The shift by the maritime industry to LSFO, and other cleaner fuels, is being driven by worldwide efforts to enforce tighter fuel standards - efforts than up to now have been more concentrated on land traffic.

"Everybody is used to regulations on emissions for land-based usage. This is the first time international pressure is coming down on marine fuel and Asia is certainly going to see the impact in the next few years," said Adrian Hugh Tolson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Chemoil, which has around a 10% share of the Singapore fuel oil market.

The refining sector might find itself unable to cope with the switch unless the move to use more LSFO, marine diesel, MDO, and marine gasoil, MGO, is phased in, he said.

So far only two areas have adopted International Maritime Organization controls on maritime sulfur emissions known as Sulfur Emissions Control Areas, or SECAs.

The Baltic Sea SECA came into force in May 2005 and was fully rolled out a year later, said Lee Adamson, head of Public Information Services at the International Maritime Organization.

The second, the North Sea SECA, came into force in November 2006 and will be fully implemented in November this year, he added.

The SECA system caps vessels'' fuel sulfur content at 1.5% down from an existing worldwide sulfur content cap of 4.5%.

As a consequence, LSFO demand in the European waters concerned has soared, and Chemoil''s LSFO sales have surged 400% in the last month and a half alone.

Asia hasn''t yet set up any SECAs, but according to Adamson, "we understand informally that preparatory work is currently underway on a number of submissions, including some in Asia."

Recently, the Japan Ministry of Land met bunker market participants to see what level of sulfur cap would be practical, and with Japanese refiners, to discuss LSFO production questions, Chemoil''s Tolson said.

 
    Huge Strain On LSFO Supplies 
 

Singapore, which is the world''s largest ship refueling center, is also looking into sulfur emission reductions.

"I expect to see LFSO demand increase dramatically worldwide over the next few years. There''s going to be more SECAs introduced in more locations around the world and the market will continue to shape itself," Tolson said.

This will put a huge strain on supplies, as each year ships burn more than 200 million tons of HSFO and LFSO combined.

"An immediate switch (to LFSO) would be truly seismic and costly," said Tolson, noting that LSFO already cost $25 a ton more than HSFO, and that a phase-in period would allow the LSFO supply infrastructure to develop.

The association of private tanker owners, Intertanko, which represents 250 independent owners, with a combined fleet of more than 2,500 tankers accounting for 70% of the world''s independent tanker fleet, isn''t keen about any obligatory switch to LSFO. It has instead argued for a switch to 1% low sulfur MDO by 2010, and further cutting that to 0.5% low sulfur MDO by 2015.

Some shipping experts argue that a combination of lower-polluting fuels should be used.

"Dual fuel engines with a capability to burn diesel fuel oil and/or natural gas are already a reality," said Jim Liebertz, president of Singapore-based ABS Pacific, a unit of the American Bureau of Shipping, which works with shipyards to ensure new vessels comply with safety rules and regulations.

BP PLC (BP) is moving in that direction - it had its first dual-fuel diesel-electric liquefied natural gas carrier delivered to it this week.

Built by South Korea''s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. (009540.SE), the 155,000 cubic meter carrier can run on evaporated gases from its cargo, or on conventional diesel fuel.

Chemoil, which sold 13.9 million tons of marine fuel oil worldwide, including 3.5 million tons in Asia, in the year ending December 2006, feels it is well-positioned to meet future ship fuel needs.

The 448,000-cubic-meter Helios storage terminal in Singapore''s Jurong island it is building will be able to "deal with LSFO demand locally as it develops," said Tolson.

Chemoil has already started offering MGO and MDO in Long Beach and Los Angeles to meet demand, and if Asia decides to follow suit, Chemoil will able to take that business to Asia swiftly, he said.

Gook Luck for those who vested

 

Finally it is moving uptrend.

Buy on weakness

 

 

It seem like the support level is at 0.84 but there were lot of selling down.

The CEO Chandra doesn't seem to be buying as usual to move the stock up leh!

 

Chemoil Energy Limited is a leading integrated physical supplier of marine fuel products globally. The company provide fuelling services throught service centres which operate in many ports around the world.

With the booming Marine industry and rising in oil prices, I don't see why this counter cannot perform.

 

 

Care to comment what's going on to this counter? It drop today.

 

Any good news anyone? The price is going up.... thanks

 

Decided to take profit... :)
