OGX Petróleo e Gás Participações SA (PINK: OGXPY) Could Be the Next Exxon Mobil

OGX Petróleo e Gás Participações SA (OTC PINK: OGXPY ) is probably the biggest oil and gas company you've never heard of. That's understandable, considering it has not yet produced a single barrel of commercial oil. But this Brazilian company could soon be on par with the likes of Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM ), CNOOC Ltd. (NYSE ADR: CEO ) and state-owned local rival Petroleo de Brasileiro SA (NYSE ADR: PBR ). Since its initial public offering (IPO) in 2008, OGX's resource base has more than doubled from 4.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) to 10.8 billion boe. It has drilled 52 wells in the last 20 months, with a success rate of over 90%, as it prepares for its first commercial production this fall. OGX's first long-term well test is expected to produce about 20,000 barrels of oil a day starting this fall. And the company already has ordered the long lead items needed to ramp up production to 150,000 boe per day by 2014. From there, OGX is expected to ramp up its production to 1.4 million boe per day in 2019. In simple terms, this oil and gas company is conducting the largest private sector exploratory campaign in the history of Brazil. So it's time to buy Petróleo e Gás Participações S.A. (**).
