KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 14): Sona Petroleum Bhd (fundamental score 0.60, valuation score 0.00) will scrap plans to buy two upstream oil and gas (O&G) assets in Thailand for US$281.2 million (RM1.01b) from UK-listed Salamander Energy plc following a rival offer.
Sona and Salamander intends to mutually terminate the previously-announced sale and purchase agreement (SPA) for a stake in the B8/38 and G4/50 concessions in Bualuang, according to Sona's statement to Bursa Malaysia today.
The termination follows UK-listed Ophir Energy plc's proposal to acquire Salamander via a share swap. Under the exercise, Salamander shareholders will be entitled 0.6 Ophir share for one Salamander unit held.
Despite the SPA termination, Sona said it was still eyeing potential deals with Ophir and Salamander for a stake in the Bualuang O&G assets.
"Notwithstanding the above, given its knowledge of the asset, Sona Petroleum remains interested in acquiring a stake in the Greater Bualuang area.
Siapa mau niaga minyak lagi ? Pak saudi kata wont cut production...kasi turun sampai usd 40...kasi sama sama mati...dan say never will touch usd 100...nw industry it looking a support level to stabilize saja until see nxt action...multi billion question is where the level? No one knw. Only things knwn is many oil player is cutting investment for offshore operation but instead concentrate on downstream and storage to hedge oil as nw time to buy cheap oil.
One research said if drop fast2 is better than it will go up gradually. Business who use oil eil benefit. If drop slow2 .. Lingering suffering .. I hope sona also look for other assets. And not wait for fruit to drop from Salamandar and Ophir and get fooled again!
We refer to the announcements dated 5 June 2014, 25 June 2014, 21 July 2014, 29 August 2014, 28 October 2014, 17 November 2014, 24 November 2014 and 25 November 2014 in relation to the Proposed Transaction.
On behalf of Sona Petroleum, CIMB Investment Bank Berhad and RHB Investment Bank Berhad wish to announce that Salamander and Sona Petroleum intend to mutually terminate the previously announced SPA and other relevant transaction documents in respect of the Proposed Transaction.
Notwithstanding the above, given its knowledge of the asset, Sona Petroleum remains interested in acquiring a stake in the Greater Bualuang area. Sona Petroleum, therefore, intends to approach Ophir Energy Plc or Salamander regarding a revised transaction post their respective shareholder meetings on 6 February 2015 based on new terms reflecting prevailing market conditions and level of oil prices. At the same time Sona is also considering other alternative qualifying assets opportunities.

still have 1.6 yr to go. can do much with the time if the management are competent. these few months will be good time to secure deal at good price than last year
Hadian and Maznah are more worried than shareholders, founders get nothing in event of refund. they have more to lose in event of failure to secure a deal but more to gain too if good deal is secured

Sons hasn't got much time left. Should have looked around for alternatives long ago. Salamander can be trusted again after the recent events??
NEW YORK: Global oil prices snapped a two-day decline and rose around 2 percent on Wednesday on hopes prices will recover as energy companies cut production investment to alleviate a glut that has wiped out more than half crude's value since June.
Total SA joined a raft of international oil companies, including BP Plc and ConocoPhillips , in slashing budgets in light of the recent plunge in prices. The French oil major said it would cut spending on U.S. shale production, among other regions, raising hopes there would be a reduction in the oversupply of oil from the United States.
