INTERVIEW: Keppel Corp Executive Says Enquiries For Rigs Remain Strong

SINGAPORE -(Dow Jones)- Keppel Corp. (BN4.SG), the world's biggest offshore rig builder by volumes, continues to get enquiries for new vessels after growing its order book by a record this year as the current global oil prices remain supportive of investment in exploration and production, a senior company executive said.

" You can't control the world financial system and markets, but so far, enquiries are still active, and that augurs well for us," Tong Chong Heong, the chief executive officer of Keppel FELS, the offshore and marine arm of the Singapore conglomerate said in an interview with Dow Jones Newswires on Saturday.

 

The current downturn in the global economy following the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and a slowing U.S. economy hasn't reduced demand for energy and current global crude oil prices are high enough for investment in the sector, he said.

Keppel hasn't had too many orders from speculators, and all its customers have been players in the drilling business, Tong said.

" Fortunately for us, all the orders that we have are bona fide customers. There really have been no speculators building rigs. We are very careful who we build for," he said.

Drilling companies are still making money, which is a " positive sign," he said.

Keppel has received orders worth S$9 billion so far in 2011, taking total orders in hand to S$10 billion, which will keep its yards busy till the third quarter of 2014.

Tong said Keppel is confident of getting orders in a tender by Brazilian national oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PBR, PETR4.BR), or Petrobras, which is spending nearly US$225 billion till 2015 to raise its oil production by 2015.

He didn't give the likely size of the orders that could come to Keppel or say when the Petrobras order is likely to be finalized.

Road block at $9.50 was just cleared!

Credit Suisse maintains market weight on offshore and marine sector, prefers Keppel Corp

06 Dec 2011 12:05


Keppel Corp remains the top pick in the offshore and marine sector for Credit Suisse analysts who prefer rigbuilders to shipbuilders due to their stronger segment fundamentals in the offshore industry.

'We believe Keppel Corp has the best order book coverage, a significant catalyst coming from the potential Petrobras contract and an attractive valuation,' said analysts Gerald Wong and Christopher Chang, who gave Keppel an outperform rating.

From a risk-reward perspective, the analysts find Sembcorp Industries 'attractive' as it is trading closest to the 2008-2009 trough valuation levels.

However, they turn cautious on neutral-rated Sembcorp Marine and STX OSV, believing that these two companies will be 'more significantly' impacted from a slowdown in orders.

'Our least preferred stock remains Cosco Corp given the ongoing execution and earnings risks,' said the analysts.

Petrobras 21-rig tender award has reached 'last lap'. Announcement may come as early as next week, if not the following weeks but not later than end-Dec - as reported by Upstreamonline.com.

If can grab some ~$9.40 in today's weak mkt, it's worth a bet - but no guarantee.

Petrobras takes bids for rig tender

Petrobras this week received revised commercial bids in its massive tender for the chartering of up to 21 Brazilian-built ultra-deepwater drilling rigs after almost two months of tough negotiations.

For details, read  tomorrow's edition  of the newspaper.

On Thursday, Kepcorp trend downwards and closed at $9.13 with regular volume of 2.35 million shares traded.

An inverted hammer occurred.  If this occurs during a downtrend it implies a reversal.  Look for a confirmation of the reversal on the bar.

Both RSI & MACD are bearish as RSI trend downwards.

Important Resistance of Kepcorp: $9.55

Immediate Support of Kepcorp: $8.92

Currently prices are resisted by the 100 days MA at $9.55

Keppel Corp: Secures two contracts from Indonesian customers worth a total of ~ $47m.

The first contract is for a Coal Transshipment Barge for repeat customer PT Indo Straits Tbk.

The vessel is scheduled for delivery in the 4Q12. The second is for the construction of three tugboats for a new customer, an int’l shipping co.

The 3 tugboats, 2 of which are 45 tons and the last 50 tons are expected to be delivered in 3Q12 and 4Q12.


While positive, order size is small hence impact should be minimal.

current high nymex @102 and brent @111 is due to political tension in Middle east - Iran and Syria, disconnect from world economic outlook (negative). otherwise Kep should be ~$11.oo

On Friday, Kepcorp broke the minor resistance at $9.55 and closed at $9.73 with regular volume of 10.72 million shares traded.

A rising window occurred (where the top of the previous shadow is below the bottom of the current shadow). This usually implies a continuation of a bullish trend. There have been 7 rising windows in the last 50 candles–this makes the current rising window even more bullish.

Both RSI & MACD are bullish as though RSI near overbought level.

Important Resistance of Kepcorp: $10

Immediate Support of Kepcorp: $9.55

Currently prices are supported by the 100 days MA at $9.55

From the strong upswing in Keppel n Sembmarine last week, 1 can guess that both should get something - overweight on keppel bcos of its strong presence in Brasfels.

Next week is critical - high chance that Ocean Rig will be disqualified bcos of Greece parent co's financial difficulites + its proposed " dual barrel drilling" technique hv not been tested in harsh environment = goods news to Keppel n Sembmarine. But in overseas tender nothing is for sure till the final hr - many invisible hands r at work now.... 

time to exit Keppel n Sembmarine is when winner is announced.
