Company Overview

Business Description:
Petsec Energy Limited (PSA) is involved in oil and gas exploration and production in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico and onshore Louisiana Gulf Coast region of the USA.

Strategy Analysis:
PSA's objective is to grow shareholder value by increasing oil and gas reserves through oil and gas exploration and acquisitions. This is to be funded principally by internally generated cashflow. PSA seek exploration and production opportunities in highly prospective areas where production and development infrastructure is available. Making use of 3D seismic and subsurface data, PSA undertake low to moderate risk drilling to discover resources previously overlooked or too small for major producers. This allows development of discoveries, early return of capital and ready access to markets. The focus is on gas in the Gulf of Mexico and onshore Louisiana Gulf Coast region of the USA, and on oil in the Beibu Gulf off the south coast of China.
