Brazilian oil startup HRT Participacoes em Petroleo SA plans to
sell 1.63 million shares in an initial public offering later this
month, according to a prospectus released Thursday.
HRT, which was created by local oilfield consultants group HRT
Petroleum in 2009, plans to sell 1.62 million in new shares and
10,236 shares from current shareholders in the offer, the company
said. Additional and supplemental lots of 567,000 shares could also
be sold.
If all the shares are sold, the sale could raise up to 2.97
billion Brazilian reals ($1.76 billion) for HRT, which received
initial funding of $275 million in a private placement when founded
in 2009. HRT pegged price guidance at between BRL1,050.00 and
BRL1,350.00 per share, HRT said. The shares will be priced Oct. 21,
with trading expected to start Oct. 25 on the Sao Paulo Stock
Exchange, or Bovespa, under the ticker symbol HRTP3.
The share sale is the latest in a string of opportunities for
investors to jump into Brazil's booming oil sector, which has
generated global interest since massive oilfields were discovered
off Brazil's coast.
Last month, state-run energy giant Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR,
PETR4.BR), or Petrobras, raised about $70 billion in the world's
largest-ever share sale. The Brazilian unit of Spain's Repsol YPF
(REP, REP.MC), which was expected to launch an IPO later this year,
sold a 40% stake in its Brazilian assets to China's Sinopec for
$7.1 billion.
Karoon Gas Australia (KRNGY, KAR.AU) is also planning an IPO for
its Brazilian unit, Karoon Petroleo & Gas.
Brazilian billionaire businessman Eike Batista kicked off the
oil startup wave in June 2008, when his OGX Petroleo e Gas
Participacoes SA (OGXPY, OGXP3.BR) raised BRL6.71 billion in what
was then Brazil's largest IPO. OGX plans to produce its first oil
in the middle of 2011.
HRT holds operator stakes in 21 blocks in the Solimoes Basin in
Brazil's Amazonas state. The blocks contain potential reserves of
between 4 billion and 6 billion barrels of light oil and between 10
trillion and 20 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, according to
company officials.
In addition, in May HRT gained the rights to explore three
offshore blocks in Namibia.
HRT will operate Orange Basin blocks 2813A, 2814B and 2914A with
a 40% stake. Universal Power Corp. will have a 40% share, and
Acarus Investments the remaining 20%.
