Brent is made of heavier crude (as Middle East crude's are, including Iran which will make the supply-demand become even more imbalanced hehe...) compared to WTI which yields gasoline (used in cars, and we all know where cars are headed - electric vehicles...)
Hence why you see the spread (difference) between Brent and WTI is at near historical highs (it used to be USD $3-4 only, its over USD $ 10 now)
And as the Sept 21 2018 news stated the premium for Kimanis over Dated Brent has increased (when Brent itself has risen tremendously). When I was in school, I learned 'sudah jatuh ditimpa tangga' well I guess this is 'sudah bangkit diangkat superman!' trolololo
In the end, always understand that prices are determined by the forces of demand and supply, and if the world wants middle distillate rich crude with ultra-low sulfur, then you have to pay for it

1. The crude from Hibiscus (North Sabah, and in general all Malaysian grades) is middle distillate rich
"The premiums for the middle distillate rich sweet Asian grades of Malaysian Tapis and Kikeh soared to their highest level..."

What are middle distillates?
" Middle distillates refers to a range of refined products situated between lighter fractions, such as LPG or gasoline, and heavier products such as fuel oil. Typically they include jet fuel, heating kerosene, and gas and diesel oils, such as marine bunker fuels. Diesel is mainly used for transportation. Heating kerosene is processed for commercial and domestic heating, whereas jet fuel is used to power the engines of commercial and military aircraft. "

And lo and behold...
" Malaysian crude Kimanis trades at highest premium this year
September 21, 2018 18:00 pm +08
SINGAPORE (Sept 21): Malaysian crude oil cargoes for November loading are trading at their highest levels this year as demand for diesel ahead of the peak winter demand season has boosted refining margins, said three industry sources on Friday.
At least two cargoes of Kimanis crude oil traded above US$5 a barrel above the dated Brent benchmark, two of the sources said. Kimanis is a low-sulphur medium crude grade that yields a large amount of middle distillates, a group of oil products including diesel and jet fuel, after processing.
This is higher than the premiums of more than US$4 a barrel that the crude oil grade traded at last month, one of them said. "

Demand for middle distillates comes from...
1. Transportation (trucks, rail, airlines (jet fuel) and shipping) and Europe "dieselization" have increased and then...
2. IMO 2020 (uses marine bunker fuel i.e. middle distillates! and low-sulfur (below 0.5%) i.e. sweet crude, which is exactly what Malaysian grades are!) and then...
3. Saudi Aramco IPO 'by early 2021'
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/05/saudi-crown-prince-says-aramco-ipo-will-happen-by-early-2021.html
If you're going to IPO you'll want to get maximum value and for that to happen, you'll need crude at a high price...there are reports that say Saudi is reluctant to add on supply and wants to keep the market in 'balance')
So from NOW till Iran sanction in Nov 2018 (short term) and until 2021 (mid / long-term), crude prices can only go one way.....
FORTH AND FEAR NO DARKNESS

All negative news are out - Saudi and Russia 'says' they'll increase production. India says it will continue to buy Iran crude (only 9 mil barrels in Nov, whereas Iran production is 4mil BPD, and India's consumption is 4mil BPD) but at the same time all their refiners have stopped buying Iran crude (Reliance etc) because who the hell is going to risk getting sanctioned and locked out of the US financial system lol - https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/energy/oil-gas/india-to-continue-iranian-oil-imports-post-us-sanctions/articleshow/66088584.cms

Before the EIA inventory announcement, Brent was US$ 84.5x. Today its US$ 84.9x which is still higher than before. So that is not the cause. Its the goddamn US Treasury yields that are spooking investors but we know.....rising UST yields = rising crude oil prices!

US strong growth = inflation = rising commodity prices energy demand is inelastic, the drop in 2014/15 was caused by shale (US crude went from 4mil bpd to over 10mil today), with OPEC keeping crude oil in balance, crude will be USD80-100 and so we shall have the glory days of oil and gas back PE Ratio 20!

Assuming OPEX and other costs remain the same, every US$1 adds USD$1 * 3mil barrels * 4 to PBT
Brent went up c. USD$7 so thats RM84 mil or about 30% from FY2017 PBT c. 250mil
Brent goes to USD$100, that would be about USD$23, or roughly 3 * 84mil ~ 250mil, which means that PBT will be double
Before the surge, price was RM1, PBT double share price double so RM2 ngam ka, and assuming P/E remains constant

In between you have crude inventory reports (EIA will report today, API already reported - increase in inventory but look at Brent so steady), therefore there will be fluctuations in share price in the short-term.

You everyday harp on the same thing people will say you're a nag old man kcchong
You believe DK66 and say he's knowledgeable, so believing those facts, and inputting those numbers into your spreadsheet, that should give you the NPV - 'IRR 12% is to Project, therefore Equity is 30%++'
Instead you revert back to your 'common sense' and disregard the model, the theory, the maths, the thought process...
Youre like the scientist who has a hypothesis, runs the experiment, and the results do not conform to his hypothesis, then proceeds to disregard the test results and sticks to his hypothesis because thats what his 'gut' tells him - yeah way to go scientific advancement lol. Next time when you cannot prove or disprove something, dont go and tell the world you agree/disagree with someone - youre just like another one of those who are going to mislead people
Old man koon has access to management, he's substantial shareholder - at the start he was touting the massive 'construction profits', wanting to con the masses with the 'massive construction profits' and then it first proposed that the profits are not real, he now pivots to 'the 30% share in he IPP is free' - in that whole time, he has never mentioned anything about the yearly cashflows over the period of the 25 years of the IPP - oh he knows, and he knows its nothing to shout about - IRR 12% equals payback in 8 years, only desperate to change their fortunes JAKS would accept such lousy returns for an overseas venture.
But just like your 'too good to be true' common sense, all of this is still just conjecture and guesses
None of it is irrefutable, absolute truth

Oil royalty is currently 10% of GROSS PRODUCTION VALUE (5% to Federal, 5% to State)
It has been proposed to change that to 20% of NET PROFIT, which is still subject to amendments to the Petroleum Development Act
And this would apply only to North Sabah, which admittedly is the largest contributor
