Investors should consider this report as only a single factormaking their investment decision.
We recently met up with the management team of Rex International (CEO,Mans Lidgren and COO, Kristofer Skantze). Rex International Holdings(RIH) is an independent oil and gas exploration and production (E&P)company having 15 concessions (10 at time of IPO in July13) in USA (2),Middle East (4), Norway(6) and Trinidad and Tobago (3) through variousjoint venture vehicles. Its parent company, Rex Partners, claims to ownproprietary and innovative exploration technologies called RexTechnologies that mitigates exploration risks and reduces cost ofexploration, which RIH has access to and enjoys right to first refusal in allglobal territories except certain locations.
What is so unique about Rex Technologies? Management said thatRex Technologies (comprises 3 proprietory technologies, Rex Gravity,Rex Seepage and Rex Virtual Drilling) significantly reduces the need forexploration and appraisal drilling thus reducing risks and costs involvedin the exploration process. Management claims more than 50% successrate in exploratory drilling (versus 10-15% for industry). It also said thatthe use of Rex Technologies enables it to obtain seismic data resultsmuch faster. The theory at the base of Rex Virtual Drilling is resonance
frequency (Source: North Energy, Rexs partner).
RIHs business strategy: prove up value then sell oil in the ground:Management highlights it will look to identify and then acquire newconcessions, increase value introducting Rex Technologies, developconcessions and then sell off stakes thereby unlocking capital and valueas it sees its advantage limited to exploratory drilling phase. Thecompany will look to add 8-10 concessions (5 added since IPO)alongwith its partners North Energy (in Norway) and HibuscusPetroleum (Malaysia listed E&P name via its JV, HiRex in Asia-Pacific).

Quick Overview of RIH
Rex International Holdings is an independent oil and gas exploration and production(E&P) company having concessions in USA, Middle East, Norway and Trinidad and
Tobago. The parent company, Rex Partners, claims to own a proprietary andinnovative exploration technologies called Rex Technologies that mitigates
exploration risks and reduces cost of exploration. Rex Technogies provides higher
exploration accuracy than peers and is several times faster compared to current
techniques of looking for oil, thus reducing costs.
Rex International has been granted an IP License to use this technology. Howeverit
cannot use this technology in areas where Rex Partners and its group of companies,has interests in the exploration and production of oil and gas.
Rex Technologies: Is it really unique and a game-changer?
Rex Partners (parent company of Rex International Holdings) claims to have a
proprietary technology which decreases the cost as well as risk of explorationsignificantly. Rex Technologies was developed by the founders of Rex Partners Ltd,Dr Karl Lidgen and Mr Hans Lidgren.
The technologies are a) Rex Gravity, b) Rex Seepage c) Rex Virtual Drilling.(More details about its proprietary technology in theRex Technologies Section)
Rex International claims 100% success in tests conducted at various places with theusage of this technology. According to Rex, it conducted 8 blind tests (i.e. Rex didnot have information about the locations) for North Energy, Norway which wasconfirmed to be 100% accurate. Rex also conducted 4 live tests which were 100%accurate. Later, North Energy entered into a partnership with Lime Petroleum (a 65%owned subsidiary of Rex International) as a result of the tests.
The company also carried out blind tests successfully for Hibiscus Petroleum andFram and consequently entered into partnerships with these companies. (More detailsregarding tests conducted by Rex Technologies in theRex Technology: Track recordSection.)
Aiming big with strategic tie ups; eye on acquiring assets
Rex International is headquartered in Singapore, but its fields are located around theglobe. With a presence in the Middle East, USA, Norway and South East Asia, thecompany is poised to grow with oil and gas demand growth.
Rex International has strategic tie ups with companies in Singapore, Malaysiaand Norway and intends to acquire assets with its partners in Norway and SEAsia. Key strategic partners of Rex International include Malaysias Hibiscus
Petroleum, Singapore listed Loyz Energy, Norways Fram Exploration and NorwaysNorth Energy
Rex International holds interest in its Norwegian and Middle East assets through itssubsidiary Lime Petroleum. Lime Petroleum is owned 65% by Rex International and35% by Malaysia's Hibiscus Petroleum. Lime petroleum intends to apply for 8-12more licenses by end of 2013.
Rex International entered into
partnerships with various players as
a result of its successful testing of
Rex Technologies.

Rex is also planning to expand its portfolio to South East Asia. In order to achievethis expansion, Rex International has set up a JV with Hibiscus Petroleum known asHiRex Petroleum where Rex International holds a 41% stake. HiRex has begunscreening potential drilling locations in mature field and exploration opportunities inMalaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar and thePhilippines and expects to secure interests in five (5) to six (6) licenses in the next18 months. (More details about Rex-Hibiscus partnership inKey tie up with Hibiscus
Petroleum section.)
US production to kick in by end of 2013; T&T producingassets to be acquired
Rex International has not generated any revenue as of now. However, assets in
Colorado and North Dakota, USA are set to start production by the end of 2013generating revenues for the company.
Moreover, the company will acquire producing assets Inniss Trinity and South Erinat Trinidad and Tobago, which currently produces 45bpd and 80bpd respectively,while another asset at Cory Moruga Block, T&T is expected to produce shortly.
Rex also intends to acquire mature fields in SE Asia via HiRex Petroleum.Acquisition of producing assets will be a big positive for the company in the nearterm.

Farm out of interest in Middle East
Rex International, which currently holds interests in Middle East assets through itssubsidiary Lime Petroleum, intends to farm out part of its interests to raise funds forexploration. (Effective stake of Rex in Middle Eastern Assets can be found in theCompany Description Section). The company has entered into discussions with a few
potential investors, according to management.
Rex mentions that it will carry out its drilling schedule in its Middle East assets withadditional funds from the farm outs. Farming out Lime Petroleum's interest isexpected to generate positive cash flow for the company, according to management.First well will be drilled in Oman Block 50 in December and in other UAE assets byearly 2014.
Rex will look to sell off oil-in-the ground once 1-2successful wells are discovered
The company re-iterated that its edge (as against competition) lies in minimizing theexploration costs given its higher success rates in knowing where to drill (leading tolesser time spent at exploration stage) and higher exploration success rate of 50%(versus 10-15% seen at traditional E&P companies).
Management highlighted that while Rex would need only weeks (instead of yearstaken by competition) in studying the fields, they also claim their cost would be lessthan US$100,000 versus millions incurred by traditional E&P companies.
Table 1: Traditional Players vs Rex International
Rex International Traditional PlayersExploration success rate of finding oil 50% 10-15%
Cost Under US$100,000 May go in millionsTime Required 4-6 weeks 1-3 years
Source: Company reports..
REXs edge lies in exploratory drilling phase not during development drilling
Management highlighted that once theyve identified where it is best to drill (for oil),the remaining process of development drilling is commoditized and see no edge therefor Rex to retain its presence. Currently management is undertaking a strategy tosell off its entire stake (may look to retain some stake possibly once exploratorydrilling is complete) and look to identify other opportunities to invest its technology.
As we can see in the table below management presents a case study of potentialprofit it would generate (net of exploratory drilling costs) on sale of asset.

Minimum Reservoir size 50 MMBblOil in the ground price US$ 5/bblParticipation Interest 20%
Net Revenue US$ 50 mn
Capex US$10 mnProfit US$ 40 mn
Source: Company reports..
Management believes it is 10-15 years ahead of competition and will continue tomaximize the advantage it enjoys over its peers by continually re-cycling its assetsand re-investing its proceeds into new assets. Moreover, given its competitiveadvantage, management does not intend to provide service of this technology butinstead retain it and invest in potential under-appreciated / under-valued assets.

Key Tie up with Hibiscus Petroleum
Hibiscus Petroleum is Malaysias first listed independent oil and gas exploration andproduction company with assets located in the Middle East, Norway and the Asia-Pacific regions.
Lime PetroleumRex International has a close tie up with Hibiscus Petroleum in Norway, Middle Eastand SE Asia. In 2012, Hibiscus Petroleums wholly owned subsidiary Gulf HibiscusLtd signed a deal to acquire a 35% stake in Lime Petroleum, a wholly ownedsubsidiary of Rex Oil and Gas then.
Figure 7: Assets held through Lime Petroleum
Source: Hibiscus Petroleum,
Lime Petroleum has been granted a license by Rex Technology to utilize RexTechnologies for the purpose of exploring and producing oil and the companyintends to use it extensively during exploration process in Middle East and Norway.
HiRex Petroleum
Hibiscus Petroleum tied up with Rex South East Asia, a wholly owned subsidiary ofRex International to form a 50:50 JV company called HiRex Petroleum in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. HiRex Petroleum is set up to acquire strategic matureconcessions in South East Asia,
As part of the JV agreement, HiRex has the right to use the Rex Tehnology packagefor a period of 5 years with provisions for extension.
In June 2013, HiRex signed an agreement to receive a USD10 mn investment fromPanama-based company, Triax Ventures Corp in exchange for a 15% stake in thecompany.
Rex International intends to farm
out some of the stake in Middle
Eastern assets soon to secure
funds for drilling.
Lime Petroleum is eyeing additional
8-10 new licenses in Norway.

HiRex has begun screening potential drilling locations in mature field andexploration opportunities in Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Cambodia, Vietnam,Myanmar and the Philippines. The company expects to secure interests in 5-6licenses in the next 18 months as the result of a large seismic data screening processduring 2013 and 2014. It expects considerable growth in its concession portfolio overthe next 18 months.
In Sep 2013, the JV entered into an agreement with Bass Strait Oilof Australia forusage of Rex Technologies in the Gipsland Basin. HiRex and Bass will work
together over the next 3 months to reassess the prospectivity and HiRex may thencommit to acquiring a 51% participating interest in the permit. The joint venture maycommit to drilling an exploration well in the 2014/2015 period.

Understanding Oil Formation and accumulation
Oil is found accumulated in thick porous rocks like sandstone or limestone.Movements in the Earth trap oil and natural gas in the reservoir rocks between layersof impermeable rock, or cap rock, such as granite or marble.
The movements of rocks include:
Folding: Horizontal movements of earth press inward and move the rock layersupward into a fold called anticline. Anticlines are the most common type of trapswhere oil is found.
Faulting: The layers of rock crack and one side shifts upwards or downwardscreating a cap of impermeable layer which stops oil from flowing.
Pinching out: A layer of impermeable rock is squeezed upward into the reservoirrock.
Conventional techniques of finding oil
As mentioned in the previous section, oil is found trapped in specific geological
structures.It is the task of the geologists to find the right source rock, reservoirrock and entrapment. Modern oil geologists examine surface rocks and terrain, withthe additional help of satellite images.
Geologists also use seismology, i.e creating shock waves that pass through hiddenlayers and interpret the waves that are reflected back to the surface.
In seismic surveys, a shock wave is created by a) Compressed-air gun - shootspulses of air into the water (for exploration over water) b) Thumper truck- slamsheavy plates into the ground (for exploration over land) c) Explosives - detonatedafter being drilled into the ground (for exploration over land) or thrown overboard(for exploration over water).
The shock waves travel beneath the surface of the Earth and are reflected back by thevarious rock layers. The reflections travel at different speeds depending upon thetype or density of rock layers through which they must pass. Sensitive microphonesor vibration detectors detect the reflections of the shock waves. Seismologistsinterpret the readings for signs of oil and gas traps.

Rex Technologies: the 3 proprietory technologies
Rex Partners (which owns Rex International Holdings) claims to own a proprietarytechnology which makes finding oil and gas easier and cheaper. Rex Technologieswere developed by the founders of Rex Partners, Dr Karl Lidgren and Mr HansLidgren, and comprises three proprietary innovative exploration technologies:
The three technologies owned by Rex are Rex Gravity, Rex Seepage and RexVirtual Drilling.
1) Rex Gravity
Rex Gravity finds areas with suitable geological conditions for hydrocarbonaccumulations. Based on satellite gravity data, Rex Gravity measures water surfacelevels with the aim of finding anomalies in the sub-terrain, which could indicate the
presence of hydrocarbons.
According to the company, Rex Gravity generates a high resolution anomaly mapbased on satellite gravity data, by compensating for water depth and additionalparameters. The company claims that Rex Gravity is a very cost effective way toscreen large areas for hydrocarbons before a major decision is made to acquireseismic data.

2) Rex Seepage
Rex Seepage is a tool used to spot oil seepages offshore in order to better understandthe potential presence of oil reservoirs in the sub-terrain. Based on thermal satelliteimaging, the tool is able to provide high resolution and accurate information about oil
seepages from beneath the rock strata over many years. The result is a much higherprobability of finding areas suitable for closer inspection.
Figure 12: Rex Seepage
Source: Company reports.
The advantage of Rex Seepage as compared to traditional imaging technologies isthat it produces high resolution images and these images are obtained through a
much larger set of satellite images taken at frequent intervals and over many years,unlike traditional seepage imaging technologies which typically only capture oilseepages in one or a few images per area of interest.

3) Rex Virtual Drilling
Traditionally the oil industry uses seismic data to search for oil. Rex Virtual Drillingis a proprietary technology that allows the company to find in details about thingssuch as where the oil is; how deep it lies; how much there is; the quality of the oil.
Rex claims that the oil discovery success rate is significantly increased to over 50%,compared to the global average of 10-15 %.

Rex Technologies Track Record:
Rex International carried out 18 tests during 2012 and 2013 and claims to be 100%successful in the tests. The company estimates worldwide success ratios inexploration drilling using Rex Technologies to be in excess of 50%, which is muchhigher than the average worldwide and industry-wide exploration success ratio of10% to 15%
According to Rex, it conducted 8 blind tests (i.e. Rex did not have information aboutthe locations) for North Energy, Norway which was confirmed to be 100% accurate.Rex also conducted 4 live tests which were 100% accurate. Later, North Energyentered into a partnership with Lime Petroleum (a 65% owned subsidiary of RexInternational) as a result of the tests.
The company also carried out blind tests successfully for Hibiscus Petroleum andFram and consequently entered into partnerships with these companies

Blind tests were based on seismic data provided by the testing party, which wasaware of the results of the tests provided, and Rex did not have prior knowledgeabout the exact location from which the seismic data were taken
Live tests were carried out in collaboration with Rexs partners where they analysedseismic data using RexTechnologies prior to the start of drilling campaigns.
The company is of the opinion that it is a potential game changer in the E&Pindustry. Rex International however does not intend to use Rex Technologies as astandalone service to other clients and intends to use it extensively in its ownconcessions.
Success of Rex Virtual Drilling in North Energy fields
North Energy had analysed 59 prospects using Rex Virtual Drilling over the past twoyears. Out of the 41 wells which had been drilled since, 35 predictions by RexVirtual Drilling were spot on.
85 per cent success rate (96 per cent success in predicting dry wells in 24 out of 25drillings and 69 per cent success in predicting presence of commercial oil in 11 outof 16 drillings)
Rex Technology LicensesRex Technologies (owned by Rex Partners) have granted Rex International Holdingsand its subsidiaries Lime Petroleum and HiRex Petroleum an IP License to use thetechnologies. However, to avoid conflict of interest, Rex Partners does not allowusage of Rex Technologies in areas where Rex Partners or its group of companieshas interests in E&P. Rex Partners is currently involved in key operation areas inrespect of exploration and production activities in the West Africa region.
Rex Partners has granted Lime Petroleum an exclusive license to use RexTechnologies in areas mentioned below, while it has granted Rex InternationalHoldings and HiRex Petroleum a Right to First Refusal in areas where they have
been provided licenses.

Trinidad and Tobago
Rex International signed a term-sheet with Norwegian private equity investor ParetoStaur SPV1 AS, providing the company with access to three new onshore exploration& production (E&P) opportunities in the island nation of Trinidad and Tobago.
Rex International Holding will invest USD 9 million for a 51.99 per cent stake inRex Caribbean Oil Company Ltd (Rex Caribbean Oil Company) (Investment),while Pareto Staur will invest USD 6.5 million for a 34.76 per cent stake.
The transaction will involve three E&P licenses; namely, the Inniss- Trinity field,the South Erin Blockand the Cory Moruga Block E. These assets already have
producing discoveries; and Rex will, after completion of the farm-in activities, holdworking interest of 75 per cent in the South Erin Block and 51 per cent in the CoryMoruga Block E.
Inniss Trinity Field: Inniss-Trinity field was initially developed as twoneighbouring fields; the Inniss field first drilled by Shell in 1946 and put on
production in 1961 while the Antilles-Trinity field was drilled by Texaco in 1956.Both fields were taken over by Petrotrin in the early 1980s, and were part of several
of Petrotrins onshore assets put up for bidding in the 2009 as a production servicecontract. The Inniss-Trinity field is currently producing an average of 45 bopd withno new wells being drilled since 2009. Rex International has been granted anIncremental Producion Service Contract whereby Rex International will receive afixed amount for every incremental barrel of oil produced.
The South Erin Blockhas a current production average of about 80 bopd from fourshallow wells. The 1,350-acre block, reportedly under-explored, is estimated to havea large potential. The 1ER98 Area which constitutes only a small part of the SouthErin Block, is estimated to hold more the 20 MMbbl of Oil in Place (OOIP). Anambitious drilling campaign is planned to start in December 2013 or early 2014.
TheCory Moruga Block E field (OOIP of 40 MMbbl) is located in the southern
basin, onshore Trinidad. The 7,442-acre block (gross) had 15 wells drilled in the1950s. The current operator spudded a new well in 2010, and produced at a ratestabilizing above 500 bopd. The well is currently locked in, but will be put on
production soon.
