Feedback
Hi allerseits,
lege heute den Fokus auf TransAtlantic Petroleum (TSE:TNP; NYSE:TAT).
TNP exporiert und fördert in vier Ländern: Türkei, Bulgarien, Rumänien und Marokko, außerdem wurde die Viking Int'l von Ihnen aufgekauft, die in dem Sektor als Service-Anbieter tätig war (Rigs , Equipment, etc. wollen sie aber wieder abstoßen).
Das Unternehmen ist derzeit eine halbe Milliarde USD wert. Hauptaugenmerk liegt auf der Ausbeutung des türkischen Thrace Basins. Die Türkei wird in der Präsentation sowohl von zwei Seiten als positiv dargestellt: Exploration Upside Potential und friendly economival environment.
Das Mngmt hat meines Erachtens auch erfolgreiche Erfahrungen in diesem Teil der Erde machen können.

Recent Developments
Cracking the Thrace Basin Code
• Last five fracs had average test rates of 2.0 MMcf/d from single stage completions. Will test multi‐stage completions during 1Q12.
• Tested just two licenses to date. Have identified 38,500 acres that we believe has the right structure and depositional factors. Numerous additional structures and licenses to test.
• Plan to also test the blanket Mezardere sands off‐structure.
Announced Intent to Sell Oilfield Services Business
• Retained PPHB to act as financial advisor in connection with the sale, transfer, or other disposition of Viking International and Viking Geophysical.
• Special committee and PPHB engaged in due diligence and negotiation activities with multiple interested parties including a group affiliated with Mr. Mitchell. Binding bids and financial close expected before the
end of 1Q12.
• If consummated, proceeds allow for debt reduction and growth capital.
• Dalea credit agreement maturity extended to the earlier of March 31, 2012 or the sale of Viking International and Viking Geophysical.
Molla ‐ New Field Discovery in Mardin Group
• Discovery well (Gosku‐1) had an IP rate of 340 bbl/d.
• Estimated 2,500 acre structure, delineation underway.
• Several additional structures nearby.

Meine Meinung zu dem Wert: Hier gibt's realtistische Wachstumschancen im Umfeld eines anziehenden Ölpreises
Werde versuchen, den Thread am Leben zu erhalten. Gerade die Arbeiten in der Türkei sind echt interessant und definitiv einen näheren Blick wert, die sind da ziemich am werkeln!

(keine Kaufempfehlung, der Wert ist sicher nichts für Noobs, nur meine Meinung, keine Garantie auf Richtigkeit)

TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd. Announces Non-Binding Letter of Intent to Sell Oilfield Services Business for $164 Million
HAMILTON, BERMUDA, Feb 27, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd. (TSX: TNP) (NYSE Amex: TAT) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent to sell its oilfield services business, which is substantially comprised of its wholly owned subsidiaries Viking International Limited ("Viking International") and Viking Geophysical Services, Ltd. ("Viking Geophysical" and, together with Viking International, "Viking"), to a consortium consisting of Dalea Partners, LP ("Dalea", an affiliate of N. Malone Mitchell, 3rd, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) and funds advised by Abraaj Investment Management Limited ("Abraaj", an affiliate of Abraaj Capital, one of the largest private equity groups in the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia) for an aggregate purchase price of $164 million, subject to adjustment in certain limited circumstances. Consideration for the sale would consist of $152.5 million in cash and an $11.5 million interest-bearing promissory note from Dalea. The promissory note would be payable five years from the date of issuance or earlier upon the occurrence of certain specified events.
The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale to pay down outstanding indebtedness under its senior secured credit agreement with Standard Bank Plc and BNP Paribas (Suisse) SA, its short-term credit agreement with Dalea and a promissory note from Viking International to Viking Drilling, LLC, an affiliate of Dalea. As of January 31, 2012, TransAtlantic and its subsidiaries had outstanding borrowings of approximately $78 million, $73 million and $2.5 million under the senior secured credit agreement, the Dalea credit agreement and the Viking International note, respectively.
Under the terms of the letter of intent, the Company has entered into an exclusivity period during which it intends to negotiate definitive agreements with Dalea and Abraaj. During this exclusivity period, the Company is prohibited from soliciting any acquisition proposals from a third party or furnishing any non-public information with respect to Viking. However, until the Company enters into definitive agreements with Dalea and Abraaj, the Company, under the direction of its special committee of independent directors (the "Special Committee"), is permitted, under certain circumstances, to respond to a bona fide unsolicited written acquisition proposal which meets certain criteria, and in connection therewith to furnish non-public information with respect to Viking and, subject to the right of Dalea and Abraaj to match such proposal, to accept a superior offer for Viking. The Company expects to enter into definitive agreements with Dalea and Abraaj on or about March 15, 2012 and close the transaction in April 2012. The sale of Viking is subject to the negotiation of final definitive agreements, the approval of the Special Committee, the approval of regulatory authorities, including the Toronto Stock Exchange, and other customary closing conditions. In addition, the sale of Viking is subject to the receipt by the Special Committee of a written opinion of Parks Paton Hoepfl & Brown, LLC ("PPHB"), the Special Committee's independent financial advisor, concerning the fairness of the transaction from a financial point of view to TransAtlantic and its shareholders (excluding Mr. Mitchell and his affiliates).
Wil F. Saqueton, TransAtlantic's Chief Financial Officer stated, "The divestiture of the Viking entities immediately strengthens TransAtlantic's balance sheet, leaving us essentially debt free with a simplified administration and accounting process. TransAtlantic should now be able to focus on its core business of developing its exploration and production opportunities and grow at a more rapid pace."
Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) Limited is serving as financial advisor for Dalea, and Evercore Partners is serving as financial advisor to Abraaj.
Special Committee Process In May 2011, TransAtlantic's board of directors formed the Special Committee, comprised of four independent directors, to explore strategic alternatives relating to the Company's oilfield services business. On September 30, 2011, the Company and the Special Committee engaged PPHB, designating PPHB as the exclusive independent financial advisor to the Company and the Special Committee in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Viking entities.
Bob G. Alexander, Chairman of the Special Committee, stated, "The Special Committee chose to accept the joint bid from Dalea and Abraaj after several months of evaluating alternatives, followed by a rigorous process to ensure TransAtlantic received the best possible value for these assets."
Master Services Agreement In connection with the proposed transaction, the Company, Viking International and Viking Geophysical expect to enter into five-year master services agreements that will ensure the Company has continued access to Viking's equipment and services at market prices.

Hmm, wie ist das nun zu werten?
Mir gefiel es, dass TAT eine eigene Bohrfirma für ihre vielen Felder hatte, ich hielt die Logik für zwingend.
Der Verkauf an Mitchells Privatfirma deutet für mich daraufhin, dass TAT dringend Bargeld benötigt (und damit erhält), dass aber Viking auch zukünftig für TAT arbeitet und dann höher bezahlt werden muss.
Sprich: Gut für die Liquidität, aber vielleicht weniger gut für die Profitabilität.
Was denkt ihr?

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 42.831.704 von al_sting am 01.03.12 10:16:39Also, ich hab die PR mal überflogen, aber da steht erstmal nur was von ner Absicht, die Oilfield Service Company zu verkaufen. Wobei die Vertragspartner sich schon mal einig zu sein scheinen, von daher frage ich micht, warum sie nicht erst beim erfolgreichen Verkauf so ne PR releasen. In der letzten Presentation stand noch nix davon, dass sie die Viking wirklich auslösen wollen...
Ob sich der Verkauf durch den Anstieg der Schulden begründet, ist natürlich auch ein möglicher Grund. Nötig ist es aber auf den ersten Blick nicht. Ich glaube schon, dass sie sich auf's Kerngeschäft konzentrieren wollen. Da frisst so ein Nebengeschäft natürlich schon einiges an Ressourcen. Aber ich will hier nicht wild herum spekulieren, weil ich den Wert nicht gut genug kenne, um was zu prognostizieren.
Vielleicht kannst Du noch was dazu sagen?
Grüße

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 42.854.455 von KaOzz am 05.03.12 22:17:44Oh Sorry... in der letzten Presentation steht was davon, dass sie Viking auslösen wollen. 
Was ich nicht verstehe, ist folgender Satz:
"Third‐party revenues now represent almost 50% of sales."
50% des Umsatzes werden durch Aufträge Externer verdient. Dann haben die Viking doch nie richtig in's Unternehmen eingegliedert, sondern wie ne Tochter behandelt.
Dann fällt der Verkauf nicht allzu schwer ins Gewicht.

Mideast's Abraaj to buy oilfield service business
Abraaj Capital in talks to buy TransAtlantic Petroleum's oilfield service business for $164M
Associated PressBy Adam Schreck, AP Business Writer | Associated Press –
Tue, Feb 28, 2012 7:36 AM EST
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- Mideast private equity firm Abraaj Capital said Tuesday it is in talks to buy the oilfield service businesses of TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd., an energy company active in Eastern Europe and Turkey.
Dubai-based Abraaj is pursuing the bid for the company's Viking International Ltd. and Viking Geophysical Services Ltd. oilfield operations in partnership with Dalea Partners LP, a firm linked to TransAtlantic Chairman and CEO N. Malone Mitchell III.
TransAtlantic valued the deal at $164 million. It has oil and gas operations in Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania.
Viking is seeking to expand into other emerging markets it believes are underserved by the industry.
"Abraaj Capital will facilitate and support Viking management in expanding its footprint across its target markets," Ahmed Badreldin, senior partner at Abraaj Capital, said in a statement.
TransAtlantic shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the NYSE Amex. Its corporate office is in Addison, Texas.
It plans to use proceeds from the Abraaj deal to pay down debt, and hopes to close the deal by April.
Word of the deal comes just more than a week after Abraaj announced it was buying Aureos Capital, a private equity fund management firm focused on Asia, Africa and Latin America. The acquisition will create a company with about $7.5 billion in assets under management.
Abraaj was founded in 2002 and ranks as the Middle East's largest private equity firm. Its investments include Mideast budget carrier Air Arabia, Egyptian contractor Orascom Construction Industries and Turkey's largest private hospital operator Acibadem Healthcare Group.

Naja, wenn eine Firma etwa 50% mit einem einzigen Kunden verdient - sollte dieser schon denselben Eigentümer haben, oder man ist verdammt abhängig.
In Zeiten hoher Öl- und Ölfördernachfrage werden irgendwann die Bohrressourcen knapp. Daher fand ich es clever, seine eigene Bohrfirma zu haben. Aber irgendwie hat es nicht geklappt...

Schöller-Bleckmann mit bullischem Ausblick
von Daniela Knauer (9.3.2012)
Gestern erreichte mich der Jahresbericht der österreichischen Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO), eines wichtigen Ölservice-Unternehmens für moderne direktionale Bohrmethoden. Kurz zusammengefasst: Die Daten konnten überzeugen. "Auftragseingang, Konzernumsatz, EBITDA und EBIT überstiegen nicht nur die Vorjahreswerte signifikant, sondern auch die Vergleichswerte des bisherigen Rekordjahres 2008", so berichtete das Unternehmen. Der Auftragseingang erreichte mit 460,5 Mio. EUR einen neuen Höchststand, das Jahresergebnis nach Steuern lag bei 53,4 Mio. EUR nach 27,3 Mio. EUR 2010.
Der Hauptversammlung wird eine Dividendenanhebung auf 1,20 EUR nach zuletzt 1,00 EUR vorgeschlagen. Die Dividendenrendite von 1,8% kann zwar nicht wirklich überzeugen, aber die Gewinne sollen verstärkt für den Ausbau des Geschäfts verwendet werden, was sich natürlich auch positiv für die Aktionäre auswirken kann. So wurde ein großes Investitionsprogramm für den Hauptsitz in Ternitz (Österreich) beschlossen. 54 Mio. EUR sollen dort in die Modernisierung und Logistik gesteckt werden, denn die Anlage konnte dem starken Wachstum kaum noch gerecht werden.
Die Ölservice-Industrie wird noch viele Jahre boomen
Noch interessanter als die puren Zahlen finde ich allerdings den Ausblick von SBO. Hier geht das Unternehmen auch auf den Gasmarkt in den USA ein. Die Bohrungen besonders nach Schiefergas sollen angesichts des niedrigen Gaspreises und der guten Versorgungssituation tendenziell abnehmen. Dies wird sich auf längere Frist positiv auf den Gaspreis auswirken, weil die zunehmende Überversorgung dadurch verringert wird. Stattdessen erwartet SBO in den USA vermehrte Ölbohrungen, denn auch in diesem Bereich ist noch viel Potenzial zu erwarten. Dauerhaft wollen sich die Amerikaner damit unabhängiger machen von Importen aus dem Nahen Osten und Südamerika.
Aber auch zunehmende Tiefseebohrungen erwartet SBO. Vor allem in der Nordsee, Brasilien und West-Afrika wird mit anziehendem Geschäft gerechnet. Der zunehmende Energiebedarf der wachsstumsstarken Regionen zusammen mit der Erschöpfung vieler großer Felder würden immer höhere Mittel für die Bohrungen von Ersatzressourcen erfordern. Zwar könnten sich die konjunkturellen Unsicherheiten kurzfristig auch auf die Ölservice-Industrie auswirken, langfristig stünden deren positive Aussichten jedoch außer Frage. So müsste nach Angaben der IEA die Ölproduktion bis 2035 auf 96,4 Mio. Barrel pro Tag steigen. Allein 47 Mio. Barrel pro Tag an Förderquote muss bis dahin wegen sinkender Förderraten ersetzt werden zusätzlich zum Verbrauchsanstieg von 11,8 Mio. Barrel pro Tag. Fast 60 Mio. Barrel pro Tag müssten also bis 2035 ersetzt werden, rund das sechsfache der heutigen Produktion von Saudi-Arabien.
Dass sich der Chef von SBO so positiv zeigt, mag vor diesem Hintergrund nicht zu überraschen. Gefahr sieht er vor allem, wenn der Ölpreis in nächster Zeit so stark heißläuft, dass sich die Konjunktur dadurch zusätzlich abschwächen könnte. Doch nach Ostern ist die saisonal stärkste Zeit für das Öl vorbei. Hoffen wir also in unser aller Interesse, dass sich die Preise dann wieder beruhigen.
Herzliche Grüße, ein angenehmes Wochenende ohne Tankstellenstopp wünscht Ihnen

TransAtlantic Petroleum Announces West Molla License Award and Provides Operational Update
HAMILTON, Bermuda, June 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TransAtlantic Petroleum Ltd. (TSX: TNP) (NYSE Amex:TAT) is pleased to announce the receipt of an exploration license in southeast Turkey and provide an operational update.
Award of West Molla Exploration License
TransAtlantic was recently granted a 61,561 acre (24,913 hectare) exploration license immediately offsetting the Company's existing Molla licenses. Inclusive of the new license, the Company now holds exploration and production licenses totaling approximately 160,000 contiguous net acres in southeastern Turkey (65,000 hectares), all of which is prospective for the Mardin, Bedinan and Dadas shale formations. The Company is planning to acquire 300 km of 2D seismic and drill an exploration well on the new license during the next 12 months, most likely to test the Bedinan formation.
Operations Update
TransAtlantic's 7-day average net production rate as of June 17, 2012 was approximately 4,436 net barrels of oil equivalent ("boe") per day, including approximately 11.3 million cubic feet ("MMcf") per day of natural gas and approximately 2,548 barrels ("bbls") of oil per day. The Company currently expects production during the second quarter to average approximately 4,500 boe per day. TransAtlantic has six operated rigs running; four in the Thrace Basin and two in southeastern Turkey.
Thrace Basin Activity
After a slow down in completion activity while the Viking frac crew completed and evaluated stimulations of the deep zones in the Pancarkoy-1 (100% working interest) and the Suleymaniye-2 (41.5% working interest) wells during April and May of 2012, the Company expects to frac five wells in the Thrace Basin during June 2012, including TransAtlantic's second multi-stage frac. The Guney Kayi-1 (41.5% working interest), a new drill well rather than a re-entry, is expected to be the Company's first multi-stage completion in the Tekirdag Field Area and the first three-stage completion in Turkey.
The Suleymaniye-2 well was a deep test of a new structure located northwest of the Tekirdag Field Area and was recently completed as the Company's first multi-stage, multi-zone facture stimulation in the Thrace Basin. Fracs were pumped into zones at depths of approximately 6,460 feet (1,970 meters) and 6,660 feet (2,030 meters). Of the two stages, to-date one has produced only water while the second stage has produced water and natural gas. The well is currently shut-in to evaluate shut-in pressures and potential installation of artificial lift.
Completion of the Baglik-1 well (41.5% working interest), the first deep test in the Tekirdag Field Area, is expected to occur late in the second quarter or early third quarter of 2012. TransAtlantic and its partners expect to evaluate the deeper sands and frac intervals that show natural gas prospectivity. Shallower intervals showed natural gas as expected. The second deep test in the Tekirdag Field Area, the Kayi Deep-1 (41.5% working interest) exploration well, is currently drilling ahead at 8,900 feet (2,714 meters). Completion of the Kayi Deep-1 is expected to occur during the third quarter of 2012. While four additional deep wells are expected to be drilled during 2012, the Company expects to attain sufficient information from the Pancarkoy-1, Suleymanyie-2, Baglik-1 and the Kayi Deep-1 wells to identify the optimum depth to drill and complete wells in the Terkirdag Field Area. This information will be used in the ongoing planning of a continuous development program in the area, with completion activity expected to increase during the third quarter of 2012. TransAtlantic and its partners plan to continue testing multi-stage, multi-zone completions, as well as begin testing the prospectivity of drilling and completing horizontally into certain zones and the off-structure (stratigraphic) potential of the blanket sands in the basin.
TransAtlantic and its partners recently completed the Kuzey Atakoy-2 exploration well (41.5% working interest) in a structure approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of the Tekirdag Field Area. Peak 24 hour production was 3.9 MMcf of natural gas, and production has averaged 2.5 MMcf/d over the first 11 days of production. The Company plans to continue testing the structure and evaluate the area as a scalable field development similar to the activity planned for the Tekirdag Field Area.
Molla License Activity
TransAtlantic recently reached total depth of 10,522 feet (3,207 meters) and is currently logging the Bahar-1 (100% working interest) exploration well. During drilling, oil shows were encountered in the Hazro and Mardin formations and oil and natural gas were encountered in the Bedinan. Approximately 40 feet (12 meters) of core was taken from the Dadas shale formation which will be evaluated and compared to the Dadas core taken from the Goksu-1R (100% working interest) in late 2010, approximately seven miles (11 kilometers) south of the Bahar-1 surface location.
After testing the shows in the Bedinan, the Company expects to complete the Bahar-1 with a single-stage stimulation of the Dadas shale. Following an evaluation period, TransAtlantic expects to reenter the well and drill horizontally in the Dadas shale, representing the industry's first horizontal Dadas test. The completion of the Bahar-1 will either require waiting until the frac crew is mobilized in the nearby Selmo field sometime in the third quarter of 2012 or waiting for the delivery and in-service of Viking's second spread of fracture stimulation equipment, which is currently expected to arrive during the first quarter of 2013, subject to manufacturing, shipping and customs processing.
Bulgaria
The Bulgarian Parliament recently amended its January 2012 legislation that was originally intended to ban fracture stimulation in the country but included language that also prevented conventional oil and natural gas activity from proceeding. The updated legislation allows conventional activity in the country to resume. TransAtlantic's holdings in Bulgaria include significant conventional oil and gas potential, including the Koynare Concession Area ("Koynare") which holds the Deventci-R1 discovery well and the Deventci-R2 exploration well. The Company expects to receive the Koynare production license during 2012, after which operating activity in the region is expected to resume.
