TGL: Globetrotting to Egypt and Yemen

Canaccord Genuity's Morning Coffee (01/29/2010)
"On Wednesday, TransGlobe released its 2009 year-end reserve report. The company saw 40% 2P reserve growth in Egypt while Yemen 2P reserves saw a 5% decline, reflecting the mature nature of these producing assets. Total company 2P reserves increased 22% to 24.2 million barrels and reserve value increased 122% over end of 2008.

An increase in its Egyptian reserves reflects the impact of the company's successful 2009 development drilling and incremental waterflood recovery programs. Ongoing development in Egypt, coupled with the company's new East Ghazalat Concession farm-in provides further upside and further potential incremental reserve additions. As a result of the increase in reserve base and including his estimated exploration potential upside, Canaccord Adams Oil & Gas Analyst Fredrick Kozak increased his target price. The next catalyst for the stock is expected to be the exploration well results on the company's new East Ghazalat Concession expected in mid-to-late February, as well as results from the near-continuous drilling program ongoing in the West Gharib Concession."
