KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 7): Offshore drilling services provider Velesto Energy Bhd has bagged a US$135 million (RM640 million) contract from Hess Exploration and Production Malaysia BV for the provision of integrated rig, drilling and completion (I-RDC) services for Hess' North Malay Basin Full Field Development Campaign.
The two-year job that will be completed by 2024 was secured via wholly owned subsidiary Velesto Drilling Sdn Bhd, said Velesto in a Bursa Malaysia filing.
According to Velesto, jack-up rig NAGA 5 will be assigned for the contract to provide I-RDC services covering 14 wells, and that the expected commencement date is in the fourth quarter of this year.
NAGA 5 is a premium independent-leg cantilever jack-up drilling rig that has a drilling depth capability of 30,000 ft, with a rated operating water depth of 400 ft, it added.
Velesto shares closed half a sen or 4% higher at 13 sen on Monday (Nov 7), bringing the group a market capitalisation of RM1.03 billion.
The contract signed with Petronas was an umbrella contract. Any operator (PSC) for example Hess, Exxon, Shell, Hibiscus who need Rig services in Malaysia water must use Velesto in priority. If Velesto not able to provide then operator allowed to look for alternative.

Besides prospect of Rigs that already sold out, Velesto Hydraulic Workover Unit (HWU) are fully sold out also (and with good day rate). If you go to Velesto yard in KSB, there was the HWU rigs that keep in front of the base since long time ago. Now this HWU is gone to do projects. The new CEO, Megat Zariman was ex Schlumberger and Bumi Armada. Very well train in Big International organization, and proven can bring back Bumi Armada from their despair. He will do even more with Velesto as the macro environment also support the recovery in Oil & Gas sector.
KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 15): CGS-CIMB Securities has maintained its “add” rating on Velesto Energy Bhd at 13.5 sen with a higher target price (TP) of 17 sen (from 11.5 sen) and said it expects Velesto to secure more drilling contracts and at higher average daily charter rates (DCRs) in the coming months.
In a note on Monday (Nov 14), the research house raised its core net profit forecasts on higher utilisation and DCR rate assumptions for the immediate and also for the long term.
CGS-CIMB said Velesto guided that it had plenty of work lined up for 2023, which could help it achieve a minimum utilisation rate of 70% or even 80% if all the available days are filled or if it chooses to delay the planned offline upgrade in 2023 for either the Naga 3 or Naga 4 in favour of taking advantage of strong demand for drilling services.
“In light of this, we raise our jack-up (JU) rig utilisation assumptions for FY2023-2024 from 70% to 80% and our long-term assumptions from 70% to 75% for FY2025 and beyond.
“We have assumed an increase to US$75,000/day for non-offline-capable rigs in our FY2023 forecasts.
“Downside risks include demand and DCRs in the JU market potentially declining should oil prices fall due to a deep global recession,” it said.
Whoever take over as new government, this counter won't be affected at all lah ! whatever government also need to gorek more oil to increase their revenue what ?? safe counter to invest !
KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 29): Velesto Energy Bhd returned to the black with a net profit of RM14.97 million for the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2022 (3QFY2022), against a net loss of RM52.04 million in the same quarter last year, on the back of higher revenue.
The net profit also follows net losses of RM46.20 million and RM43.17 million for 1QFY2022 and 2QFY2022, respectively.
Quarterly revenue increased 89.83% to RM173.78 million, from RM91.54 million in 3QFY2021, mainly due to higher utilisation in its drilling services and integrated services segments, the group said in a bourse filing.
The group's average jack up rig utilisation for its drilling services segment improved to 78%, compared with 51% in 3QFY2021, it said.
The offshore drilling services provider did not declare a dividend for the quarter.

On prospects, Velesto said the global and regional upstream activities, including in Southeast Asia, continued their upward trend, with more exploration and development projects being evaluated and sanctioned. As a result, regional jack-up marketed utilisation has increased to above 90% and charter rates for the latest fixtures has been on an uptrend.
As for its drilling services segment, Velesto said it is actively bidding for new tenders for local and international contracts scheduled to be performed this year and next.
The prospect for its integrated services segment is improving with a number of jobs secured, it said.
“Currently, two out of four of the group’s workover units are working. The group continues to bid for available local and international contracts, for jobs scheduled to be performed this year and next year,” it added.
As for its oilfield segment, the group said positive industry outlook is also expected to support the stable performance of its oilfield services operation in China.
