TOP CONTRIBUTORS

SinoTech Energy Limited (NASDAQ:CTE) is a Chinese company which provides enhanced oil recovery services (EOR) to the major oil companies in China. SinoTech uses a series of patented technologies to provide these services. This includes lateral hydraulic drilling and the use of molecular deposition films. In addition to standard oil beds, the company uses its services to extract more out of coalbed methane. The company is not owned by the government.[1]

The company believes that the industry trends will favorably improve its future growth. In particular, China has been an important driver in the continued growth in energy demand. China itself ahs experienced shortages of domestic oil and gas. This has pushed energy prices up domestically and has increased the demand of oil companies to extract as much as possible given cost constraints from their wells..[2]

The company's initial public offering of stock on the NASDAQ occurred on November 2, 2010. The company offered 19.7M ADS shares each for $8.5. This was within the initial price range of $7.5-$9.5. The IPO raised a total of $168M. The lead underwriter of the deal was UBS Investment Bank.[3]

SinoTech's revenue has continued to grow since 2005. The company has remained profitable throughout the period as well with the exception of the 9 months ended on June 2010. During that period, the company reported a net loss of $6.3M. This loss was due to a rise in interest payments and a change in the fair value of warrant liabilities[4]
