Last month we issued an update on Petromanas, our favourite exploration stage oil and gas company. The company had just raised $75 million, issuing 187.5 million units at a price of $0.40 per unit. Quantum Partners (part of George Soros’ fund management empire) subscribed for 72.5 million units, and Columbia Wanger Asset Management subscribed for a total of 65 million units. They obviously like Petromanas for its focus on high impact exploration onshore Albania, and maybe the fact that fellow Albania-located Bankers Petroleum has been hugely successful in those same Albanian oil fields.
Interestingly, the similarity doesn’t end there, as investment banker / advisory Endeavour Financial Group was behind the formation of both Bankers and Petromanas, providing both deals with their initial publicly-traded shell and investment capital. Bankers has performed very well indeed over the last 6 years – a 10-bagger. We see so many similarities, that we wondered …is Petromanas capable of similar performance?
