exploration, development and production, both internationally and particularly
in the Kyrgyz Republic. It is a very exciting time for us as we continue the
development of the initial two projects - Beshkent Togap and Tash Kumyr - and

Well hey, these guys have got this one away at very little discount to the prevailing price, double the price COIL paid 4 months ago and with no sweetners as far as I can see.....underlines the astute move that COIL's management made supporting MEO in the first place, think about it. DYOR

About Xtract Energy Plc

Xtract's prime assets are its interest in shale oil deposits at Julia Creek in
Queensland, Australia and a joint venture with the Australian research group,
CSIRO, to develop a process for extracting oil from shale deposits. The
initial validation tests, comprising small scale batch extractions of oil from
the shale, have demonstrated that recovery from Xtract's Julia Creek shales in
Queensland, Australia, would be in the order of 150 litres of light crude
oil per tonne of shale. Earlier conventional retorting experiments indicated
that the conversion of kerogen to oil yielded about 74 litres of oil per ton
of shale.

Applying this rate of yield increase to the yields of 50 - 65 litres per tonne
used earlier this year in Xtract's AIM admission document in relation to
certain of Xtract's Julia Creek leases results in estimated in-situ shale oil
resources of over 1.6 billion barrels of oil.

Other energy assets held by Xtract are:

Cambrian Oil and Gas Plc ('COIL') which is developing oil and gas assets
in the Kyrgyz Republic.

COIL has acquired 25% of the issued share capital of ASX listed Methanol
Australia Ltd ('MEO'). MEO is focused on developing a gas-to-liquids project in
the Timor Sea, approximately 275 km northwest of Darwin, Australia, in an area
known as Tassie Shoal. It has secured Australian Commonwealth Government
environmental approvals for two large scale (1.8 mtpa) methanol plants (50%
interest) and a 3 mtpa LNG plant (100%), which is the only new Australia LNG
project to receive its Commonwealth Government environmental approvals.

approximately 19.1% of Wasabi Energy Limited which has rights to the
Kallina power technology, uranium exploration interests in the Northern
Territory, Australia, interests in the newly-formed Evolution Energy joint
venture to produce bio-diesel fuel in Australia and in a coal deposit in
Canada;

approximately 18.2% of Aviva Corporation Limited with promising thermal
coal deposits in the mid-west of Western Australia.

COIL 25% (37.5% incl options)

Gas junior's shares rise

SHARES in Methanol Australia continued their upward march yesterday when trading resumed after the company announced a $12 million placement.
They closed at 51c each compared with a peak of 56.5c on November 23 and a low of 17c at the end of August. They were trading at 48c last Thursday.

Methanol Australia shares were put into trading halt last week and were then suspended on Monday at the company's request. The company told the exchange the placement had been made to "a number of significant Australian and international institutional investors".

Methanol Australia, in which Santos has a 16.9 per cent stake, owns the carbon dioxide-rich Tassie Shoals reservoir in the eastern Timor Sea, 12km from the large Evans Shoal reservoir.

The company has approval for a methanol plant on Tassie Shoal, but its most recent activity has been exploring its 100 per cent owned Northern Territory permit NT/P68 with the aim of defining enough gas reserves to support an export LNG project.

It was reported earlier this year that Methanol Australia wanted to explore two prospects in Epenarra, immediately west of Evans Shoal, as well as drilling the Heron-2 appraisal well.

Epenarra-1 , to be drilled in the second half of next year, is a follow-up to the Heron-1 gas discovery made by Arco in 1972, while Blackwood, also to be drilled late next year, is a target further north.

Methanol Australia said yesterday it had secured the Seadrill West Atlas jack-up rig to drill the three wells.

Hi rodders, just a quickie, you may want to look at CPNR if your not already in.

oilyrag - thanks, unfortunately completely out of funds, so stuck with COIL at least until the meo drill bit bites into the seabed of Aussie in September next year.

Rodders

Sorry to hear your tied in for the long haul, at least you got in a lot chearer than me. Unfortunately I got in when they were called Silver Mines Media and paid 10.5p each, hence the warrants. I decided to let it run and see what happens as they were talking of 100 million company then, which would have realised 1 or so per share. I think the likelyhood of that price senario has been greatly increased with their present portfolio. It would appear that my sneaky feeling was right about the SP. Still its a few years before retirement yet so nothing lost nothing gained. Good luck oily.

Morning oilyrag, I don't expect any fireworks in the short term, unless their is a bid for MEO, which is not out of the question, if things go well you could get your 10.5p back with interest sometime next year. DYOR

Rodders

Rodders,

Its all gone quiet on the western front. Anything pending or coming up soon do you think?

Jan/Feb 2007....

Update on operations in Outer Mongolia...LOL

Looking to float Elko Energy if market improves. If this was to get away COIL's 29% stake would be double in value.

3D Seismic results on MEO.

Rodders

Hi rodders, odd purchase just gone through of 1 share, obviously a code for someone, any ideas.

Well researched article out on COIL today, link below....

Quote - "From a share price perspective, COIL has under-whelmed the market over the past 12 months - but this could all change in a flash if MEO hits the jackpot in Australia."

Rodders

Rodders,

Do you reckon that Elko will be floated soon????

sirles - would like to be proved wrong, but the market appetite for AIM placings at the moment is against an early floatation of Elko.

On the +ve side MEO is still strong, COIL's stake is valued at 10m+ and their options another 5m, whereas COIL's market cap is only 10m.

Rodders

Rodders,

Re: MEO Australia to Get Faster Approvals Process for Gas Projects

Why do you think that the share price of coil hasnt really changed with this news?

Have no idea, but here is another interesting tit bit...

Here is a recent excellent analyst report on MEO courtesy of a poster on another bb...

We value MEO at $1.64 on a fully risked basis!!!!!

http://www.methanol.com.au/!upload_files/attachment/MEO%2030%20Jan%2007.pdf

Looks like the issue of this caused the rise last week???

Rodders

Hi rodders, 463 traded at 3.09p this would raise less than dealing charges. Any idea who is signalling who, what?..........Also are COIL,s holdings in MEO still in the form of warrants or are they full shares. Its just that if they were warrants, this may be why no value seems to have been attached to COIL on their holding.

MEO

Coil owns 48.5m shares, which at yesterday's closing bid of 68 centsAU = 13.2m.
Coil has 42m 25 cent options, value = 7.2m Total value 20m. COIL Mkt Cap 10m.

Rodders

MEO has broken through the 70 centsAU resistance level overnight. Would not rule out a UK floatation of the exploration side of the business.

12th February 2007

LONDON (AFX) - Cambrian Oil & Gas (COIL) increased in early trade, up 0.63 at 4.25, after it said it has agreed to merge with subsidiary Xtract Energy.

The exploration firm said a scheme whereby COIL shareholders will receive 9 new Xtract shares for every 10 COIL shares, resulting in COIL becoming a wholly owned unit of Xtract.

The closing mid market prices per share of Xtract and COIL on Feb 9 were 5.25 pence and 3.625 pence respectively.

This values COIL at about 14.85 mln stg (on an undiluted basis) and represents a premium to COIL shareholders of about 30.3 pct, COIL said, adding that it would recommend this scheme to its shareholders.

The scheme requires approval by COIL shareholders (other than Xtract) and the sanction of the court, they added in a statement.
