How to Make Money from Small Oil and Gas Stocks

Small oil and gas stocks can make you money - or quietly drain your account one press release at a time. The difference usually isn't luck. It's whether you're asking the right questions before you buy, and again after.

This book gives you the method. Not a stock tip, not a "hot sector" pitch - a repeatable 12-step process for finding opportunities, sizing your risk, and knowing when to sell, written by someone who has spent 45 years inside the boardrooms, joint ventures, and financing decisions that most retail investors only see from the outside.

Who this is for

You don't need a finance degree or an engineering background. If you're investing USD 1,000-5,000 of your own money in small oil and gas stocks - or thinking about it - and you want a clear, honest process instead of hope, this book is for you.

What's inside

• The 12-Step Method - from understanding what a company actually owns, through position sizing, to knowing exactly when to sell down and when to exit completely
• 7 real-company case studies - including takeovers, bidding wars, farm-downs, and a board-commissioned valuation that still wasn't enough - showing how the method plays out in practice
• A worked fictional example, start to finish, so you can see the whole process applied to one company
• Reserve and resource confidence (1P/2P/3P, PRMS/SPE-PRMS) explained in plain English
• 10 practical appendices and worksheets: position-size planner, cash-runway calculator, dilution checklist, catalyst calendar, broker-selection guide, and more
• Global coverage - ASX, AIM/London, TSX/TSXV, Oslo, SGX, Bursa Malaysia, NYSE/Nasdaq - not limited to one exchange or region

About the author

Peter Cockcroft has 45 years of experience in the oil and gas industry across Asia and the Middle East, including as a director and chairman of oil and gas companies and as an advisor to governments and international operators. This book is written from the perspective of someone who has sat on both sides of the table - not a stock promoter, but someone who wants everyday investors to have the same questions in hand that a director or chairman would ask.
