JJC:    Oh yeah... we got mauled today, down 206 points... It was killer... but that's not to say I'm giving up. Nope. This is a market where the only thing that's working is energy... And, since we are all about finding the bull market somewhere, well... let's just say, even if it takes us to Peru...

It's "Wildcat Week" on Mad Money...

I've got a great wildcatter with its sights set on Peru... a company that tries to find new oil and gas by drilling in previously-unexplored places...

The company I'm about to recommend... BPZ Resources, Inc. (BZP).

This company is drilling both onshore and offshore for oil in Peru, and I don't think you should about BZP's assets getting nationalized. Peru isn't likely to nationalize BZP's reserves the moment the company finds new oil... no. Peru has become a friend to capitalists, that's already made us some money in Creditcorp (BAP), which is up almost 18%, since I recommended it on March 31st.

Right now, BZP is a play on increased oil production and high oil prices. Remember, all of these wildcatters only work because of the umbrella of high oil...

BZP isn't doing any real wildcatting just this moment, but it should start sometime during the third quarter, when it's due to begin drilling at the Tumbes Onshore Field... Right now, only one of this company's plays is active... The Corvina Offshore Field, which has around 110 million barrels of certified reserves. BZP is drilling another well at Corvina, and the results from that should come in by July, and it could be a good catalyst...

But the real meat of the story is that BZP is expected to rapidly increase production. Their guidance is for 6,000 barrels a day by the third quarter of this year... 8,000 barrels a day by the end of 2008... and 11,000 barrels a day by the end of 2009. All of this is compared to their puny production of just 500 barrels in the first quarter of this year.

With those production numbers, they're drinking somebody else's milkshake...

Especially with oil prices this high, it seems like they might as well be pumping money out of the ground... but we'll take that money in Peruvian currency... not the cheap and debased dollar.

BZP also plans to start drilling at a second offshore play, the Albacore Tract by the end of the year...

Right now, BZP is 100% oil, but it plans on finding natural gas, which is why it's working to build a 160-megawatt gas powerplant, that will be fed by its gas production. Peru's got gas... maybe not as much as the trio of great American shales, Barnett, Marcellus and Haynesville... but they're capable of giant flatulent status...

The main thing that had been holding this stock back is no longer a problem...

There was a ship fire at its Corvina play - the one that's producing - so the company had to shut down production, and then wait for approval from the government to transport its oil from the rig to a refinery. Now it has that approval, and can start delivering its oil.

.  .  .  .  .
 

The Bottom Line!:      BPZ Resources, Inc. (BZP) is our Peruvian wildcatter.  Remember, 20% of your portfolio should be overseas... and this one counts for that.  It's projecting absolutely tremendous production growth.  With oil at $136, how can you say no...

Second Segment
 
 
Opening Segment 2 Title: 'Troubled Waters?'

.  .  .  .  .

Featured Stock(s): Interview with Rep. John Peterson,
Republican Congressman from Pennsylvania
 
No specific stock picks.

 
After this segment, you can see Jim's Lightning Round picks here...



Jim's comments BEFORE the interview:
      We're fired up about the need to find more oil.  We have been for a long time.  That's why we've liked all the oil stocks... we're running out.  Right now, in congress, there's an effort being spearheaded by Representaive John Peterson, from my native state of Pennsylvania, that would lift the prohibition on drilling for oil and gas, from 50 to 200 miles offshore.  Today, it was shot down by the democrats in the subcommittee on interior and the environment, by a 9-6 party line vote.  It does get another chance next Wednesday in the full appropriations committee.  I'm telling you, this ain't going to make it.  But, if this passes, through that full house and senate, it would open up drilling for an estimated reserve... these are the numbers that I managed to piece together... 8.5 billion barrels of oil, and 29 trillion cubic feet of natural gas... as well as potential undiscovered resources that could be as much as 86 billion barrels of oil, and 420 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

That should be a huge boon for a lot of the companies we've been recommending over and over again... Transocean (RIG), National Oilwell Varco (NOV*) - the one that makes the rigs... FMC Technologies (FTI) - which makes the subsea trees... Schlumberger (SLB)... and virtually every other company engaged in offshore drilling... not to mention all the jobs created... all the usual natural gas suspects... as it's Cramer's year of natural gas.  On Mad Money, we are all about making it possible to find more oil... and that's why I'm bringing on Congressman Peterson to talk about the prospects of this legislation, and how we can unlock our nation's deep-water resources...

Congressman Peterson, welcome to Mad Money... 

.  .  .  .  .

Jim's comments AFTER the interview:      He's right.  We're in a real jam here.  We cannot see lower prices until we do far more drilling, but the big places to drill are off limits.  Representaive John Peterson makes sense.  I think you should write your congressman and say that.

Thumbs down - indicates he has said not to buy or to sell the stock, based on his comments  We do our best to interpret Jim's opinion on stocks, as we think it is indicated by his comments during the show.  Please read his comments to decide for yourself.

Back up the truck - indicated by Jim, when he says the stock is so good, that he would do a 'mon-back' on the stock... In other words, this is the sound someone would say to a truck driver, "Come on back... " as he is "backing up the truck" to load up on his cargo.  Translation for buying stocks:  This recommendation by Jim indicates that, after you do your own homework on the stock, you should feel comfortable loading up on it, as it is in a good position to be bought at this point.

Stumped. - Of the 2,000+ stocks that Jim Cramer has in his head, for which he has an informed opinion, he sometimes comes across a caller with a stock he does not know well enough to opine on...  He then indicates he is stumped and will have to come back to it, after he does some homework of his own on the stock.  This usually occurs during the Lightning Round, when Jim does not know in advance who is calling, or what their stock question is about.
 

 
Definitions of key phrases used by Jim, known as "Cramerisms":

Definition:   'Pull the trigger' is Jim's phrase for making the decision at that point to trade - either to 'buy' or to 'sell' (although he usually uses the phrase for buying), as if to say you should feel comfortable enough to make the final decision without looking back...

Definition:   'Ring the Register' is Jim's phrase for selling a stock, and making it a final sale, that you should not look back on.  Put it behind you.

Definition:  'Let It Come In' indicates how you may wait for it to pull back, or have the stock price come down briefly, as your chance (after letting it come in) to buy the rest of your position (i.e., total number of shares you own in that stock).

Definition:  'backing it up' or 'doing a 'mon-back' is Jim's phrase for the metaphor of backing up a truck to load up on a stock by buying it.  'Mon-back is short for the imaginary worker saying, 'Come on back...' as the truck is backing up to receive its load... Notice that we use the little truck icon to indicate where Jim has mentioned this.  Translation for buying stocks:  This recommendation by Jim indicates that, after you do your own homework on the stock, you should feel comfortable loading up on it, as it is in a good position to be bought at this point.
