Oil & Gas Sector

We hosted a two-day regional oil & gas event in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore last week. Six Singapore companies were in the list –
Keppel Corp,
Sembcorp Marine,
Nam Cheong,
Pacific Radiance,
RH Petrogas and
Rex International.

Key takeaways:
i) While drillers like Seadrill and Transocean are guiding for a softer charter rate outlook for deepwater drilling in 2014-15, Singapore yards are well positioned to ride through the cyclicality given a combined net order book of SGD30bn, with deliveries up to 2019. We prefer SMM over KEP. 

ii) RH Petrogas (BUY; TP: SGD1.23) expects a decision for North Klalin in 2Q14 and a positive outcome could drive a re-rating.

iii) Nam Cheong (BUY; TP: SGD0.48) is looking at
new fuel saving designs but recent comments from Petronas’ president that the Malaysian OSV market is oversupplied could dampen sentiment on the stock.

iv) Pacific Radiance (BUY; TP: SGD1.30) is studying new markets like Mexico and Middle East and we think the pace of fleet expansion could surprise on the upside.
