Desire Petroleum

<>Desire Petroleum plc (Desire) is a UK company listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) dedicated to exploring for oil and gas in the North Falkland Basin.

Desire has recently completed a 6 well exploration programme. The Liz well encountered dry gas and gas condensate at 2 separate levels while other wells recorded shows.
Together with the Rockhopper Exploration Sea Lion oil discovery in the licence to the north, these wells have provided significant encouragement for the potential of the North Falkland Basin. The oil at Sea Lion is of particular interest as this has demonstrated that oil is trapped in potentially significant quantities in a fan sandstone on the east flank of the basin. It is believed that over 50% of this east flank play fairway is on Desire operated acreage.

Desire has now completed new 3D seismic acquisition which provides coverage over the east flank play, Ann, Pam and Helen prospects. The results from fast-track processing of priority areas are provided in the 2011 CPR. A farm-out to Rockhopper has been announced. The revised equities are shown on the licence map (subject to regulatory approval and completion of the farm-in well). Desire Petroleum

Yikes Eddie

Hi All,

I feel today a bit like that film with Thelma and Louise driving over a cliff ,why has it not dropped more today and even crazier thing is the last buy was at 46p.

The Axe is sharpened Eddie and time is near any last words

Just remember the basics why you bought this share the rest will follow and so will the price, to see the rainbow we must have rain and we must be in a ******* storm at moment,

Now for a lie down in a darkened room and forget how much i am down.

Hi all

markymar you would't hit a man with glasses on would you ?

All the main indices are down. So DES hasn't been singled out. UB07 down after a great candle yesterday. Looks like a bad time has been had by most today.

DES has broken the last support levels of Fibonacci & has broken the half way (50%) of candle dated 10/11/04. The good news (thats if you see it as good news) is this candle has the remainder of (50%) as support. This is before support at the rising window 09/11/04. The Bolinger bands & stochastics are suggesting DES is over sold. Todays open 0.4650p, high 0.4650p, low 0.4375p, close 0.4475p, combined volume 2.077m. (an increase in volume again)







Good Luck All

Eddie

Eddy thank you again a very hard call and sticking your neck out every night.

No pain no gain

Hold tight be strong and belive....it will come.

GOVERNORS REPORT ON THE MEETING OF EXECUTIVE COUNCIL ON TUESDAY 22 MARCH 2005

Open door licences for hydrocarbons exploration: ExCo considered an application from Rockhopper Exploration (Hydrocarbons) Ltd for two open door production licences in areas lying to the north of the Falkland Islands. It was agreed that the approval of the Secretary of State should be sought for the award of these two licences. Government House has already forwarded these applications to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the Secretary of States decision is now awaited.

Just a note about stochastics....they can sit in over-sold position (or over-bought) for as long as they like and the market can continue falling (or rising). I prefer to use them in terms of divergence, so look for the stochastics to begin turning higher. If the price declines while stochastic indicator rises (divergence) then its usually a good sign of a base beginning to emerge.

Hi all

Thanks markymar & lynnzal.

Well another down day for DES. Open 0.4525p, high 0.4525p, low 0.4400p, close 0.4450p, combined volume 1.237m. The volume was lower today, mainly sells. The main body of the canldes are getting smaller, this may be indicating we are close to the sell off point. We are also close to the 200 day moving average, from which DES could bounce. DES has been above the 200 DMA since 16/03/04 @ 0.1125p. So lets hope for the bounce.

Hi all

No axe today markymar ?

They say no news is good news. But no posts is bad news !


I'll not bother with a chart, as there is one above. Well I don't know how DES did it today but the share price went up. Looking at the buys vs sells, there were far more sells. Strange! But it is April fools day. The open 0.4450p, high 0.4800p, low 0.4450p, close 0.4650p, combined volume 2.113m. The pattern produced is a bullish engulfing pattern. The candle wiped out 2 days worth of red candles. This is bullish, but would have been more bullish if it had closed on the high. Looking at UB07 0il & gas sector, there was a similar type of finnish. ie selling towards the end of the day. The rising price of oil may well bring the bulls in on Monday. This may well be the start of a rally. Lets hope so !

Eddie i think we turned the corner today AGM on way and news this month I hope news of a rig but either way good to see some blue sky and good crack on the other boards.

I don't think the crack is finished by a long way yet Marky. Even on a down day you should try to have a bit of a laugh. Don't you just lurve sidewinders- easymeat. Seeya wouldn't wanna be ya ps FCP might be turning in Canada tonight- rumours of shorters closing down their positions-early days I know but I do think what happens with FCP will help us if they sell out for agood price. Anyway good night whoa bonnie lad and you Marky. Ruddy

Breaking views
By John Paul Rathbone and Simon Nixon (Filed: 03/04/2005)

Let's stop gushing about overvalued oil shares

Imagine you run an oil company. Not a major like Shell, but a small oil company listed on London's Aim market. Let's call it Cash Shell. This firm has no hard assets - that's to say, no proven or probable reserves, which are those most likely to be commercially developed. But it has produced a sheaf of geologists' reports that point to humungous "possible" reserves of oil.

The distinction between proven, probable and possible reserves might have been enough to get Sir Phil Watts sacked as chief executive of Shell last year. But this doesn't seem to bother your investors, and there is a gusher under your share price. Indeed, the whole Aim-listed oil and exploration sector has been gushing lately.

This has been as true of tiddlers as of large firms. Last week, shares in India Star Energy rose 137 per cent in their first day of trading. The company's only asset is 900,000 in cash - hardly enough to buy more than a few thousand barrels of oil at its current price of $55. First Calgary Petroleum, which doesn't produce any oil, has a market capitalisation of 1.5bn.

It has, however, made some promising gas finds in Algeria, and independent auditors reckon these might be worth 2bn. But strip out "possible" reserves - the lowest quality kind - and the firm's bankable reserves are worth only 700m. On that basis, First Calgary is trading at a 114 per cent premium.

Socking premiums have become the norm among smaller oil exploration stocks. There are currently some 50 small or mid-capitalisation companies listed in London, with a combined market cap of 15bn, equivalent in size to, say, a BG Group.

The 20 biggest trade at an average 67 per cent premium to their core net asset values, according to estimates by Canaccord, assuming a long-term oil price of $35 a barrel. By contrast, BG Group trades at around a 10 per cent premium.

Part of the valuation gap reflects hopes that a big fish will snap up one of these minnows - even though deals in recent years have typically closed at just a 20 per cent premium. The rest embodies hopes of an exploration success - as at Falklands Oil and Desire Petroleum.

Those firms' stock prices have doubled over the past six months, yet neither has even started to drill. And while a high oil price does mean a greater number of finds are likely to be economically viable, the historical success rate remains only one well for every 10 sunk.

Soaring oil prices combined with one or two lucky finds, such as Cairn's Indian jackpot last year, have helped fuel this dotcom-style enthusiasm for small oil firms. Investors that bought into Cairn or one of the other lucky companies a while back have indeed made a packet. But buying stock in Cash Shell at current levels looks like a mug's game.

Typical hack Marky-distorting up to date facts-historical data-key word being historical.

Interesting presentation.
Maybe more to come from Des's block.
I like the Moby Dick shape underneath Ninky.

Cheers for link Capt

Hi all

Well another down day for DES. The buys were more than sells. The open 0.4700p, high 0.4700p, low 0.4325p, close 0.4400p, combined volume 2.797m. The volume was up again today. The candles give us a bearish engulfing pattern. The fact that this pattern has come in a down trend gives it a possible different outlook. The pattern is known as the last engulfing pattern. Tomorrow will confirm if this is correct. The last engulfing pattern generaly marks the bottom or top of a trend. Lets hope it is the bottom ! The rally should then follow.






Good Luck All

Eddie im afraid this would appear to have 37.5p written all over. Dont see any support until then.
