For those of you who have stayed the distance with NTQ you deserve a medal and I still think that you will do ok, I do not advise standing on one leg whilst you wait however… Cash has been preserved and remains at around $15m so I would hope to see some sort of geared recovery at some stage. Today’s year end trading update is hardly milk and honey but as at Hunting, the management do acknowledge a pickup in US onshore activity. It’s been a long haul for Martin Perry and Enteq but the shares have doubled as a tribute to their stickability quotient. ![]() So, the shares should be up, not down as the operating side of the company has performed very creditably and continues to do so….Top stuff Duncan… Enteq Upstream Other positive comments include that the company has the same, asset light, model and its flexible management structure gives remarkable competitive advantages over the competition. If you do that you get to see that the Chairman has ‘cautious but unpredictable optimism’ and that ‘in 2016 we exceeded performance expectations at every level from sales to the bottom line’.

The trouble with writing long and ethereal statements, especially when the bumf at the top is all about world economies is that sometimes people dont get down to the good bits about your company. More if and when I get it… Thalassa Holdings I havent had a chance to speak to anyone at Hunting since I returned but I am presuming that this was not a decision that he made himself and now that things are looking better the board have felt more empowered, as it were.

Results today from PVR and a conference call with a new presentation added a bit but as ever with financial results there isnt much to add to current sum knowledge. The inventory stats from the API also helped after hours, crude drew by 1.3m barrels when analysts had been guessing at a rise but products also helped, gasoline drew 3.7m against a forecast of -1.7m and distillates drew 1.6m against expectations of 885/. The Saudi Minister also called for a rollover of quotas but also said that compliance was now 104% which should start to make an impact on the stock levels. The Russian Oil Minister called for an extension to the agreement but also said that his country were now at 250/- b/d down in the quest for a fall of 300/- b/d.
