Edison expands US oil and gas sector presence with launch of coverage of TransAtlantic Petroleum

LONDON, Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Edison Investment Research, a leading international investment research firm, announces the initiation of coverage of TransAtlantic Petroleum (NYSE: TAT), an oil and gas company with operations in Turkey and Bulgaria.

Edison's comprehensive report, Drilling activity picks up speed in H213, was published on 22 October and examines the investment case for TransAtlantic's US$130m, 38-well drilling programme, which applies North American oil and gas technology to Turkish and Bulgarian oil and gas basins.

The analysis by Xavier Grunauer, an analyst on Edison's Oil & Gas team, points to the company's application of North American drilling and fracking technology in Turkey, applying unconventional methods to new shale plays, as well as to existing conventional assets. Moving forward with a US$130m drilling programme in 2013, TransAtlantic is forecast to drill 38 wells in this financial year. Having spudded 18 wells in the third quarter and 27 wells year to date, we forecast a potential doubling in production volumes by 2015.
