Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

A recent report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) identified the oil and gas sector as having the highest contraction in the second quarter of this year 2022.

The oil sector has consistently recorded negative growth for the ninth consecutive quarter, contracting again by -11.8% y/y in Q2 2022 following a higher contraction of -26% y/y in Q1.

Following the current market apathy occasioned by the build-up to the 2023 general election which saw the NGX All Share Index (ASI) drop below 50,000 index points to close trading at 49,836.51 points on August 31, 2022, the Oil & Gas Index which measures the performance of the oil and gas firms quoted on the NGX recorded a decline of 4.3 percent to 532.15 points from 556.28 points it opened for trading in August.

This is despite the fact that the sector is leveraging the rise in crude oil prices as a result of the Russian-Ukraine crisis.

Concerns of investors about the political risk associated with general elections in Nigeria have impacted negatively on the shares of the firms listed in the oil and gas sector and equities market at large and may likely continue as political parties are set to begin 2023 election campaigns.

However, some of these companies managed to weather the storm. According to data obtained by Nairametrics from the NGX which focused on the top performing oil and gas stocks during the month of August 2022, Japaul Gold Plc, Adova Plc, Conoil Plc, and Oando Plc made the list of the best four performing firms.

These stocks were selected based on their price performance from year to date and are represented by the percentage gained.

Oando – 2%

  • The share price of Oando Plc, grew by 2% during the period under review, from N5.00 per share to N5.10 per share, lifting the market capitalization to gain N1.243.14  billion or 2.% to close at N63,400 billion in August 31, 2022, from the opening figure of N62.157.06 billion.
  • During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, Oando’s production was 44,550 boe/day, compared to 42,492 boe/day in 2019. In 2020, production consisted of 15,912 bbls/day of crude oil, 1,757 boe/day of NGLs and 161,288 mcf/day (26,881 boe/day) of natural gas.
  • The increase in production was a result of increased natural gas production at OML 60-63 (22%) offset by a 29% decrease in NGL production and a 5% and 15% crude production decrease at OML 56 and OML 13 respectively.
  • Oando closed on September 6, 2022, at N5.20 per share on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NGX). Oando began the year with a share price of N4.42 and has since gained 17.7% on that price valuation, ranking it 33rd on the NGX in terms of year-to-date performance.

  • Ardova Plc posted revenue of N126.650 billion for the first half of the year 2022 from N86.770 billion in 2021, accounting for an increase of 45.96% as the firm leverage from the rising cost of fuel occasioned by inflation and the Russia and Ukraine war.
