SASOL LTD. $43.01 – New York symbol SSL

SASOL LTD. (ADR) $43.01 (New York symbol SSL; TSINetwork Rating: Extra Risk) (082 -883-9697; www.sasol.com; ADRs outstanding: 644.7 million; Market cap: $27.7 billion; Dividend yield: 3.3%) paid $2.2 billion last year for a 50% interest in two major shale gas properties held by Talisman Energy in northeastern B.C.

The partners were investigating whether it would be feasible to build a gas-to-liquids plant that would use this gas. However, Talisman has said that it is not interested in pursuing this project right now. Instead, it will focus on increasing its production.

Talisman and Sasol will continue to develop the two shale gas properties, although they will likely slow work on them while they wait for natural gas prices to recover.

Sasol ADRs are still a buy.
