Think the bull market in oil & gas is over?
Think again.
As you know, we've already made a boatload in the sector.
Readers who bought Storm Cat Energy when I originally recommended it are up over 1,000%. I've received dozens of letters from grateful subscribers.
Well get ready, because I've found another small energy company that's going to be a fortune-builder.
To show you how serious I am, right up front, I'm going to give you full details on the company, before anyone else catches wind.
Gran Tierra Energy (GTRE: OTCBB) is an upstart oil and gas company with a growth curve that's almost vertical.
Up front is a management team packed with industry veterans, who have collectively found more than 130 million barrels of oil.
Last time around, they worked for Encana.
Now, in case you're not familiar with Encana, it's a $40 billion energy company, the largest oil & gas company in Canada, and one of the largest in North America.
At any rate, these guys have pooled their talent and started a new, lean outfit aimed at doing what they've been doing for decades....

Finding and developing oil and gas deposits-outside of North America.
Sounds fairly simple, right? Well, keep in mind that this dream team is going after what may be the last best pool of oil in North America. And they're doing it quietly.
By this time next year I expect this tiny outfit to be well-known on Wall Street. But right now it's totally unknown...a sleeper.
This is truly an early-bird opportunity. In fact, shares just started trading in November. But these guys don't wait around. The company is already producing oil, which means there's already cash flow.
A testament to management's expertise, this tiny firm is already producing 2,600 barrels a day, all of it in South America.
A lot of oil & gas startups I see never even get to the production phase....they're more of a "pipe dream."
But that's exactly why I'm so stubborn in my analysis. If management doesn't have the track record to back up its claims, forget it.
Now, the other side of the coin is just where this company is headed.
See, these guys have set the bar pretty high. The goal for the company is to be producing at least 10,000 barrels short-term. So the growth curve is going to look pretty steep...heck, it already does.
That production level would give us, conservatively, a 500% return.
Now I don't know about you, but those are the types of gains that make me take notice.
I know production growth of this magnitude sounds too good to be true. But the truth is it's been done before, right in the same part of the world.
Gran Tierra's Road Map For Success
Back in 1992, a small oil and gas exploration company was born with very little fanfare.
The company's approach was one of slow, steady progress. Their strategy centered around acquiring mature fields outside of North America and operating at maximum efficiency.
Some might even call it boring.
But because of the company's solid business plan - and their outstanding leadership - they were approaching the 100,000-barrel per day level within just five years.
Today, that company - Perenco - has grown to a production level of 290,000 barrels per day in less than 15 years.
Perenco Production Profile
At current prices, that oil is worth over $17 million every day, or $6.2 billion over the course of a year.
That's a remarkable accomplishment - and it was all done by building the company with sound acquisitions and exploration over time.
But here's the important point: this is the very same blueprint being followed by Gran Tierra's management team.
Now, this wasn't a one-off fluke. South America is one of the last underdeveloped exploration and production territories in the world. And many of the developed regions still hold vast quantities of oil & gas that have been overlooked.
In fact, most investors have no clue about the companies operating south of the border. And that's a shame, because the profits are incredible.
A company by the name of Pluspetrol started out in Argentina as a relatively small producer back in the late 1970s. Their approach? Steady growth and careful acquisition.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Over time, Pluspetrol expanded its operations beyond Argentina into other parts of South America. And today they're producing more than 180,000 barrels per day.
Both of these companies have grown to become remarkable success stories.
And that's why the Gran Tierra team decided to model their company on these two outfits.
Gran Tierra's management team has known about Perenco and Pluspetrol for years. Because they specialize in oil and gas exploration and production outside of North America, they know exactly where the best potential lies.
Gran Tierra is such an incredible opportunity, it's impossible to put a price tag on a report like this one.
To get a rough idea, however, consider that one of my subscribers sent me a note about his $245,000 gain from the stock I mentioned above.
You already know we're in a bull market for the history books. But it doesn't do any of us a bit of good if we don't capitalize on the opportunity.
Do yourself a favor, and contact the company at the numbers above. And establish a position now, before this one gets away.
I'll provide regular progress reports in these pages.

Mike Schaefer
