Why could Indonesia Energy stock be trending?

Indonesia Energy is a Cayman Islands incorporated company with an oil and gas assets portfolio – the Kruh Block in Sumatra and the Citarum Block in Java in Indonesia. The Jakarta-based energy player currently has a market capitalization of over US$ 48 million and a price-to-cash flow (P/CF) ratio of 29.5. 

Its most recent release came out on January 26, when the oil and gas firm said that it anticipates commencing drilling of two back-to-back new wells – Kruh 27 and Kruh 28, at Kruh Block within 30 days. It is targeting to produce about 450 barrels of oil per day on the completion of these two wells, expected to result in positive cash flow operation considering the current oil prices, said the firm. 

Indonesia Energy, also known as IEC, added that it plans to start drilling a third new well – Kruh 29 onsite before the second quarter ends. 

Last year in December, the energy company stated that Kruh 26 well on completion escalated its daily oil production rate by 50 per cent.
