Does EV and battery tech really sound the death knell for Oil and Gas?
Future of Oil and Gas
In an era of rising demand and hype for electric vehicles (EV) and battery technology, commodities and ETFs linked to oil and gas have managed to hold their prices. EV stocks like Tesla and Nio have increased by 71% and 100% respectively in the past year. The price of WTI Crude Oil has also increased by 76%, while prices of micro-cap oil stocks like #ECHO Echo Energy and #MSMN Mosman Oil and Gas have increased by 58% and 13% respectively.
This clearly signifies that even after the rise in demand of EVs, commodities like oil and gas are here to stay in the short and long term.
Consumers are under the impression that they could be in an oil-free world by 2030 and most consumers perceive batteries and electricity as the primary source of energy. However, this is highly unlikely and nothing but a series of myths planted in our brains due to effective marketing.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) that analyses trends in energy industry, released its annual World Energy Outlook in November 2019. It looks at potential energy demand and supply under different scenarios to explore different possible futures. The IEA scenario stated a global increase in energy demand by 24% by 2040 of which, oil and natural gas will supply 64% of the world’s energy needs. In accordance with the Paris Climate Agreement, if based on the Sustainable Development Scenario, the oil and natural gas will still supply 47% of the world’s energy by 2040.
More than 15% of oil demand goes into non-combusted use including petrochemicals which is expected to grow to 20% by 2040. Even if the demand for gasoline and other fuels may hypothetically be on the decline, the petrochemical sector, in contrast, still has room to grow. Some major companies have even pledged some $100bn into the petrochemical industry over the next decade.
Developing countries like India have one of the most aggressive renewable power capacity roll-out programmes worldwide. However, its access to affordable fossil fuels remains a priority for its government because its needs for cheap oil, gas and coal continue to rise to meet energy demand that is forecast to more than double by 2040. India’s petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan believes the world’s third-largest oil consumer could be the “golden goose” for crude suppliers as it buys more than 80% of its oil needs from foreign crude purchases.
The graph below demonstrates that the forecasted oil demand for 2040 is higher than present day with non-combusted being the driver to increase the demand. While in the primary energy consumption chart, oil is forecasted to maintain its consumption as a primary source by 2040. Whereas the primary consumption of gas is forecasted to rise.
Texas Oil Wells
In 2018, companies in the Permian Basin – “an ancient, oil-rich seabed that spans West Texas and South Eastern New Mexico — were producing twice as much oil as they had four years earlier” whilst forecasters expected the production to double again by 2023.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) had also predicted that American oil mostly from the Permian will account for 80% of growth in global supply over the next seven years.
Some small companies already had presence in the Permian Basin before these predictions and report in 2018. In 2017, Mosman Oil & Gas (MSMN) acquired several oil and gas leases comprising the Welch Permian Basin Project for a consideration of $310,000. Although the Welch project contributed to a gross profit of $167,000 in the year ended 30 June 2020, recently Mosman sold this Welch Project for $420,000 receiving a premium of 40% from the sale of the project alone.
Mosman is steadily growing its working interests across a number of projects in Texas, including Stanley, Falcon-1, Winters and Galaxie. These have produced a gross profit of over $500,000 in the 2020 year. Stanley also has a 100% success rate with oil production from four wells drilled to date.
Texas wells are providing high returns to oil companies, and with a growing number of projects and acreage, Mosman is well placed for future growth.
South Argentina Oil Wells
Many companies own wells in Argentina and Latin America as it is considered a region rich in resources with 4% of natural gas reserves and 20% of world oil reserves. They are also often undergoing positive development in macro conditions. A strong demand outlook for energy consumption and economic growth coupled with underdeveloped – but lower cost – onshore plays, makes Latin America a favourable region for companies like Echo Energy (ECHO) to deploy its expertise in support of an exploration-led growth strategy.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2020, Santa Cruz Sur at the south-eastern tip of Argentina helped Echo Energy to increase its revenue fourfold to US $11.1mn. This was also due to Echo securing new gas sales contracts at premium rates to the prevailing spot markets in early Q1 2021.
The increase in revenue drove an significant increase in the Echo Energy (ECHO) stock price by 51% from 55p to 83p between December 2020 and January 2021.
Major and Small Suppliers of Oil and Gas
The difference between the barrels of oil supplied can be huge when major suppliers are compared to the small suppliers. But all that glitters is not gold. High supply and production would require a higher demand to be profitable, if the demand of oil stagnates in the future it will affect the major suppliers before the small suppliers.
The big 10 companies accounted for 28% of global oil production in 2020 as shown below.
When this is compared to small oil producers like Echo Energy and Mosman Oil and Gas, Echo Energy produced a cumulative of 94,000 barrels of oil in Santa Cruz Sur in South Argentina. While Mosman Oil and Gas produced a gross of 90,000 barrels of oil in the year ended June 2020. Based on available data, the production of Echo and Mosman combined is 0.2% of the global oil demand.
This is effective during times of recession or when the global demand is low as during unprecedented times a major oil supplier to generate profits and work at full capacity would need to sell between 5-12% of oil demand while small suppliers of oil would need to fulfil a negligible percentage of global demand of oil to turn profitable. This is due to high storing and inventory costs for major oil suppliers as well as higher fixed costs due to bigger operations.
Conclusion
Therefore, even though the oil demand is perceived to be lower in the future due to alternative resources, the demand doesn’t seem to be in decline due to oil having uses other than fuel and gas for cars and transportation like non-combusted petrochemicals. Even if the demand for oil is on the decline it would not affect small oil suppliers; as working at full capacity they fulfil just a small percentage of global oil demand and still manage to make hefty profits.
These among many, are the reasons keeping the oil prices buoyant and in the mix, not only for the present day but also for the future.

Gold – The Timeless Currency!
Gold retaining value
The price of gold on May 1st 2021 was $1,767/oz which then rose to $1,910 in just one month. However are these changes in price normal? Yes, in the short term the price of gold can rise or fall although in the long term gold has a reputation of being a timeless currency!
For example, according to National Bureau of Economic Research – 2,000 years ago a centurion (roughly equivalent to a captain) received 38.58 ounces of gold per year (equivalent to $46,296 per year @$1,200/oz) while currently a U.S. Army captain receives about 37.11 ounces of gold (equivalent to $44,532 per year @1,200/oz). This is a perfect example of gold holding its value.
What influences the price of gold?
Monetary policies, economic data and demand and supply work hand-in-hand to determine the price of gold and the sustained growth in the gold price is driven by these factors and other small factors like ETF’s.
For example, during the covid-19 pandemic the economic data showed higher unemployment, stagnant GDP and slowdown of the economy. This led to most of the world economies to change their monetary policies to reduce their interest rate to the bare minimum. The interest rate is an opportunity cost to gold for investors as investors will invest where they receive most interest. During a very low interest rate period, investor will buy gold and thus increasing the demand of gold and driving up the prices during the times of slowdowns or recessions.
In order to satisfy this demand, companies listed on AIM and London Stock Exchange like #ECR -ECR Minerals PLC and #POW – Power Metal Resources Ltd are undertaking gold mining projects in gold rich countries like Australia.
Power Metal Resources #POW
Power Metal Resources has a 49.9% in private company Red Rock Australasia Pty Ltd (RRAL). RRAL has a portfolio of five exciting gold projects in the heart of the prolific world-class high-grade Victoria Goldfields which have produced 80+Moz Au historically.
In Western Australia, notably the Paterson Province in the eastern Pilbara Region, Power Metal Resources has a conditional agreement to acquire a 75% strategic interest in (FDR Australia).
FDR Australia holds a portfolio of copper-gold focused exploration interests in the Paterson Province, which is considered highly prospective for gold-copper and base metal mineral systems and is currently of particular focus for resource companies with a significant level of exploration activity underway across the region. Companies such as Rio Tinto are developing the Winu gold project, set to come into production by 2024, while the valuation of Greatland Gold #GGP rocketed from around £25m to highs around £1.3bn following a spectacular gold discovery at its Havieron project. This is now being jointly developed with Newcrest Mining.
ECR Minerals PLC #ECR
ECR Minerals’ Bailieston and Creswick projects are the epicentre of the current gold exploration boom in Victoria.
Bailieston is located approximately 150km north of the Victorian state capital Melbourne, with good road access which hosts successful modern gold mines including the world-class Fosterville gold mine owned by Kirkland Lake Gold.
After announcing the initial results from its first drilling campaign at Bailieston, ECR has continued drilling and exploring across the territory, and has most recently announced the acquisition of a 297 acre land package near to the Cherry Tree project on the Bailieston license area. Here the company plans to develop a mine decline, processing plant and tailings dam
The Creswick project is considered highly prospective for gold mineralisation, hosting the Dimocks Main Shale geological feature, which extends over a 15km trend from the mining centre of Ballarat to the south, through ECR’s exploration licenses and applications.
A raft of drilling and data from the campaign has supplied ECR’s geological team with a much deeper understanding of the prospectivity of the trend across the license areas, and a few weeks back the board to the decision to acquire property at Brewing Lane, Springmount to further advance drilling programmes and to eventually develop a mine decline.
These two companies are among many other’s operating, exploring and discovering new mineral resources in Australia’s exceptionally fertile territories.
How does supply affect gold prices?
Such aggressive drilling programmes and significant level of exploration activity are planned in order to cater the high demand for gold. The higher supply now shifts the supply curve outward hence reaching a new equilibrium. This is shown below:
The outward shift of both, demand from D1 to D2 and supply side for S1 to S2 has resulted in a new increased price equilibrium from P1 to P2.
This increase in price of gold is a win-win for the supplier, stakeholders of the suppliers and the consumers. As the increase in demand is being satisfied by the increase in supply by the suppliers. While for the suppliers, they are receiving a higher price of the commodity for a larger amount sold.
This is what is known as ‘economic welfare’.
All in all, gold is an investment for the long term and factors like monetary policies, economic conditions and demand and supply play a major role to determine the prices. Gold might be a volatile commodity in the short term but it is by far the safest bet over the medium and long term.
And for investors preferring to mitigate risk from direct exposure to the yellow metal, owning shares in gold exploration and production companies can result in less direct volatility, but can potentially deliver much more upside if a gold discovery such as Greatland Gold’s Havieron project is made.

AQUIS STOCK EXCHANGE
VSA Capital Group (VSA) joined Aquis on 9 September and at the same time raised £253,000 at 21p a share. The share price has risen to 23.5p (23p/24p), which values the company at £4.57m. There have been five trades. VSA Capital is a broker and financial adviser. It also has stakes in cryptocurrency and blockchain businesses. It is an Aquis corporate adviser, and this will be a major focus of the business.
Ecotricity says that it has received acceptances equivalent to 1.9% of Good Energy (GOOD) to add to its existing holding of 25.1%.
Arbuthnot Banking (ARBB) has sold 200,000 shares in Secure Trust, raising £2.5m, and reduced its stake to 3.32%.
EPE Special Opportunities (ESO) increased its NAV by 24% to 542.3p a share in the six months to July 2021. Luceco (LUCE) is one of the main factors in that growth of NAV and 4.5 million shares were sold to raise £15m. Another investee company, Pharmacy2U, is moving into profit. At the end of the period, a majority stake in homewares company Rayware was acquired.
Igraine (KING), where Oscillate (MUSH) has a 24.6% stake, says that its investee company Excalibur Medicines has completed the ARCADIA phase 2 trial for AZD1656, a treatment for diabetic patients with Covid-19 (see Cizzle below). The trial covered 153 patients. The treatment has reduced mortality rates and it is safe.
Walls and Futures REIT (WAFR) lost £214,000 in the year to March 2021, while NAV fell 5% to 102p a share. The value of investment properties fell by 1%. Walls has secured lease terms and memorandums of understanding with new partners for provision of housing for autistic people. The new homes are being designed in pods and constructed off site. There is cash available for investment, but the company requires additional funds to complete all the potential new projects. The problem is that the share price is well below NAV.
SulNOx Group (SNOX) says that its direct sales operation has made sales of its diesel additive to 200 clients in just over one month. The products will be sold on the Amazon platform.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) investor NFT Investments (NFT) has made an initial investment of $700,000 in Blimp Technologies Inc. In this case it is in the company rather than NFTs. Blimp has developed a platform that rewards home buyers and sellers, as well as advisers, for contributing value to a token network started by the Home Network Foundation. The theory is that this should reduce delays and disappointments and make the process more transparent.
CBD products supplier Voyager Life (VOY) has secured two new stores in Dundee and Edinburgh following the opening of the St Andrews store. Rebranding is complete and new products are being launched. The company’s products are stocked in more than 70 other stores.
Vulcan Industries (VULC) says chief executive John Maxwell is stepping down due to ill health, although he remains on the board. Ian Tordoff becomes executive chairman. Kieran Vaughan has left the board.
Altona Rare Earths (ALR) has raised £1.25m at 14p a share, which was a premium to the market price.
AIM
Building products supplier Alumasc (ALU) increased full year revenues by 19% to £90.5m, while underlying pre-tax profit nearly trebled to £10.5m, helped by cost cuts and improving margins. Net debt was £900,000, while the pension deficit has reduced to £4.5m. The final dividend is 6.25p a share and the total dividend is 9.5p a share. Demand is strong but Alumasc is uncertain when the customer will take the products. That is because shortages of other building products, such as bricks, have held up developments.
Michelmersh Brick (MBH) continues to benefit from strong demand for bricks and reducing stocks and orders stretch into the fourth quarter. Interim revenues were 10% ahead at £29.9m and pre-tax profit jumped from £2m to £5m. Full year figures will be slightly better than previously expected. The interim dividend is being reintroduced.
Concrete levelling equipment supplier Somero Enterprises Inc (SOM) benefited from buoyant North American demand in the first half. Non-residential construction is buoyant in North America and orders are at a high level. In the six months to June 2021, revenues increased from $35.3m to $64.4m, which was much higher than the first half of 2019 prior to Covid-19. Pre-tax profit more than trebled from $7.5m to $23.5m. There was $16m of cash generated from operations. The interim dividend is 9 cents a share. Guidance has been upgraded.
Minds + Machines (MMX) has announced a tender offer of up to £58m at 9.6p a share – equivalent to estimated NAV following the disposal of the operating activities. That would mean that up to 604.1 million shares could be redeemed.
There was 11.6% growth in the Vector Capital (VCAP) loan book to £40.6m. The interim dividend is 0.95p. The main customers are residential property developers that need short-to-medium-term finance. There are additional funds available to further grow the loan book to £46m.
Dekel Agri-Vision (DKL) increased the fresh fruit bunches by one-fifth to 8,469Mt, compared to August the previous year. Crude palm oil production was 6% higher at 1,678Mt, but the amount sold was one-quarter ahead at 1,852Mt. The average crude palm oil price achieved was 76% higher at €947/tonne. Palm kernel production was also much higher.
Parsley Box (MEAL) is investing the proceeds of its recent flotation in developing products, including a range of chilled meals, and increasing marketing. This means that the loss is increasing, but the benefits will show through in the years to come. Interim revenues were £14m, up from £11.1m, and £11m of the latest revenues were from repeat customers. The loss increased from £1m to £5.42m. There is still £6.52m in the bank.
Embedded computer boards developer and manufacturer Concurrent Technologies (CNC) reported flat interim revenues of £9.3m. Lower overheads helped pre-tax profit improve from £1.22m to £1.59m.
MAIN MARKET
LED lighting and wiring accessories supplier Luceco (LUCE) has reiterated its full year guidance following its interims. Group revenues were 51% ahead at £108.2m, while pre-tax profit improved from £8.3m to £18.5m. The comparatives did reflect the initial period of Covid-19 but there is still strong underlying growth. There have been cost pressures, but investment has improved efficiency which has offset this. Overheads grew more slowly than revenues and interim operating margins are double the level in the first half of 2019.
Cizzle Biotechnology (CIZ) expects to sign a deal with charity St George Capital, where it would receive royalty payments of up to £5m for AZD1656, a treatment for diabetic patients with Covid-19, plus payments for a companion diagnostic. St George has undertaken a successful phase II trial for AZD1656 and is seeking a license and funding for further trials.

Bitcoin – Get Rich or Ponzi scheme?
When you hear the words “Bitcoin” or “Dogecoin” what is the first thing that pops up in your mind? I am sure Elon Musk is the first thought for many.
A Musk tweet on the 16th of May 2021 led to a 20% downfall of Bitcoin. The tweet implied that Tesla has sold all of its Bitcoins. The downfall of Bitcoin was halted the next day, soon after Elon Musk tweeted again stating that Tesla had not sold any Bitcoin. A couple of weeks later, Musk tweeted a heart break emoji captioning it “#Bitcoin”; the saga of the downfall of bitcoin had begun again! It didn’t end till Musk made a U-turn on his statements tweeting that Tesla would in fact accept Bitcoin.
But one has to ask, does Elon Musk really control the cryptocurrency market? The answer is both yes and no.
The market price of cryptocurrencies are derived by the basic fundamentals of economics, which is demand and supply. Demand being proportional and supply being inversely proportional to the price of these intangible assets. While some cryptos like Bitcoin have a limited supply, for example 21 million bitcoins, others like Ethereum don’t have an explicit cap on their supply.
Whilst most cryptocurrencies can be manipulated in the short term, bitcoin having a limited supply makes it easier for Elon Musk to control Bitcoin prices in the long term when compared to Ethereum. Most investors believe that most financial markets are semi-strong efficient and that some individuals have more knowledge than that of the general public. Therefore, retail investors lie their trust in Elon Musk because of his billionaire status as well as being the CEO of Tesla, believing that due to those factors he possesses more market information than the market and can control the market sentiments.
On the other hand, many would argue that Elon Musk has no role in the constant change of the price of Bitcoin, and the tweets were posted after institutional or big investors had already started trading bitcoin. This can be proven by looking at the Bitcoin technical chart which was following the Wyckoff Accumulation pattern.
The Wyckoff accumulation pattern has 5 phases where the price fluctuates in a range. The higher bounds of the range are known as resistance while the lower bounds of the range are known as support. In phase A there is intense selling pressure which results to the price going below the support, after which it rebounds to the resistance before testing the support again. Phase B leads to the price falling further than the lows of phase A, before shortly rebounding. Phase C is a crucial phase where for one final time, it tests the support also known as the spring and that is where the rally begins. Phase D and E occur when prices move in a bullish pattern, finally breaking the resistance to move further up.
The Wyckoff accumulation stage looks something like this –
Source: Reddit.com
The negative tweets by Elon Musk for Bitcoin came during phase A and B while the positive ones came during phase C and D which many people believe is purely co-incidental.
The bitcoin pattern showed below between May 2021 to June 2021 followed the Wyckoff Accumulation stage. Between May 2021 and June 2021 Elon Musk tweeted about cryptocurrency 12 times.
Source: Tradingview.com
There are many people who have termed Elon Musk as a “Doge God” and believe he played an instrumental role in the high volatile prices of Bitcoin while individual and institutional technical analysts believed Musk’s tweets just came at the right time and the changes in prices were due to the Wyckoff accumulation stage. Does Musk control the cryptocurrency market? Will Bitcoin, Ethereum or Doge Coin continue its bullish run? The future will surely tell.
