Company Profile

Taghmen Energy is an independent oil and gas exploration, development and production company which listed on Londons AIM market in January 2005. It is focused on Latin America and has assembled a group of assets in Central America.

Key Points:

Exploration focus is shifting to new hydrocarbon destinations.
Maturing fields in traditional oil producing regions such as the Persian Gulf and the North Sea have prompted companies to seek alternative destinations for hydrocarbon reserves. As a result, there has been a notable increase in exploration activity amongst the former Soviet Union, Latin/Central America and West Africa regions due to their under-exploited reserves. Much of future oil and gas production is expected to come from these emerging hydrocarbon regions.

... and to the development of smaller fields
With the notable exception of those in the former Soviet Union, new regions however offer relatively smaller fields. Their economics make them distinctly attractive for smaller companies but unattractive for the majors. This has prompted larger companies to focus on production, leaving exploration and development of hydrocarbon reserves with smaller companies. Taghmen characterises these emerging exploration trends in the oil and gas sector.

Corporate strategy entails both exploration and production
What is unique with Taghmen is its intent to be engaged in subsequent production as well. Most exploration companies seek to exit upon the prove-up of their reserves through an asset sale to a larger company. Taghmens intent to be a company maker makes it more selective in licence acquisition. It also offers more comfort regarding the reserve potential of its licence areas.

... and is en route to be implemented through an acquisition
Taghmen is in the process of finalizing the acquisition of Petroleos del Norte S.A. (PDN), a Colombian company that operates three fields close to Taghmens licence areas. The proposed acquisition would provide Taghmen with a larger exploration reserve base, a pipeline infrastructure and some producing assets. This reiterates Taghmens commitment to be a producing company rather than a pure exploration play.

High energy prices underpin the profitability of exploration
Rising demand for energy from fast growing economies such as China and the uncertainty in key oil producing regions are likely to keep world energy prices high. This has reduced the risk profile of exploration projects considerably. Current oil prices make even smaller fields financially viable.

Latin/Central American governments are keen to develop their reserves
As the energy needs of these countries mount, the need to develop their hydrocarbon resources has gained eloquence. Governments are keenly seeking foreign investment and have adopted several policy decisions to attract them to their respective countries. Colombia and Guatemala are no exceptions. Taghmen benefits from these developments

Research report (12th May 2006) on TAG in the link below :


Here is the comment from Nick Gay -

"please find a research report prepared by objective capital on taghmen.This covers our existing asset base,but does not take into account any impact of the PDN acquisition.Objective capital has also applied its own conservative geological risk factors to the various prospects.Having done this,they calculate a value for the assets of $84.3 million,well in excess of the current stock market valuation.Removing their risk factors indicates a value of $746.7 million.We obviously have a lot to play for !"

20 February 2006

TAGHMEN ENERGY Plc
Interest in New Licence in Colombia

Taghmen Energy Plc ('Taghmen' or the 'Company'), an independent oil and gas
exploration, development and production company focused on Latin America and
which listed on AIM in January 2005, is pleased to announce it has agreed terms
that will lead to the Company acquiring an interest in an additional licence in
the Middle Magdalena Valley, Colombia.

Under the terms of its arrangement, Taghmen will ultimately acquire a 65%
interest in the licence but will not be Operator. Taghmen has identified several leads that could contain potential reserves of approximately 20 million barrels (13 million net to the Company). The initial work programme covers a four year time frame with approximately $1 million to be borne by Taghmen in the first year related to a new 2D seismic shoot, together with the reprocessing of existing data. Following the initial programme the Company can choose to proceed with further work or to relinquish a portion of the licence at the end of each year.

The transaction is expected to close within the next 45 days and is dependent on the underlying licence being successfully issued.

This follows the award to Taghmen of the 'Midas' licence in the same region, as
announced on 15th February 2006, which is estimated to have the potential for
recoverable reserves of up to 90 million barrels.

Nicholas Gay, CEO of Taghmen Energy Plc commented:

'Upon successful completion of this transaction, our Colombian interests will
have the potential to add nearly 80 million barrels, net to Taghmen, to our
existing Guatemalan potential reserve base of approximately 45 million barrels.
The attractive new licence terms and tremendous hydrocarbons potential of
Colombia made it an obvious choice for the expansion of our Latin American asset base.'

PapalPower - 20 Feb 2006 12:02 - 111 of 338

Some decent buying today, lets hope it continues and as soon as we have Cannacord clear, we can have some decent rises.

I hope this times in with 3X news coming out.

PapalPower - 20 Feb 2006 12:02 - 112 of 338

And we had our first MM buy for a long time this morning, how about that, impressive or not ? ;) LOL

Lostandfound - 20 Feb 2006 12:38 - 113 of 338

PP,

Please would you explain what the 'Cannacord' issue is and why this is affecting the shre price?

In this morning.

Lostandfound - 20 Feb 2006 14:19 - 114 of 338

PP,

Please ignore my last re Cannacord found the answer on another board.

Cheers

PapalPower - 20 Feb 2006 16:22 - 115 of 338

Cannacord, the now removed TAG broker, and in place of them we have Seymour Pierce. Cannacord are also an MM (CANA) and appear to be selling for a client of theirs. When this is finished, I would expect a strong rise on TAG.

Aerotus - 20 Feb 2006 16:29 - 116 of 338

Yes Papal - Unfortunately we will need to clear out that seller. I did my part by adding another 5K. Holding 30K now :)

Aerotus - 20 Feb 2006 16:32 - 117 of 338

525K and 125K trades just materialised. These must surely be the accumulated sells which have kept the price down? On and upwards from here?

Aerotus - 20 Feb 2006 16:33 - 118 of 338

But the price of 63p and 62p would indicate they are buys. Very strange??

PapalPower - 20 Feb 2006 16:35 - 119 of 338

Strange, but the on line sell limit is now ore than the buy limit.

Hopefully this signals the seller is nearly out and things can move on.

The 525K was at 63.05p, I wonder if there is some shopping going on to clear out the seller.

Shearershearer - 20 Feb 2006 21:42 - 120 of 338

I took a further interest in this one early doors,expecting the upward curve and I know of others joining in.What I cannot understand is the performance against EME which is looking to be a real star.

PapalPower - 21 Feb 2006 00:27 - 121 of 338

ShearerShearer, I would not compare TAG and EME for a start, both very different. EME has that "blue sky" appeal, and is being helped by some generous, errrr statement.

TAG is a different kettle of fish, not presently having "blue sky" potential, but much more solid and one that will grow solidly over time.

To put it another way, so far there is no news in EME that makes it worth over 50p (EN-1 is NOT confirmed as commercial as per the RNS yesterday, needs more work, and G-1 has not found anything "confirmed") so EME could fall flat down back to previous levels, wheres TAG has money in the bank and a lot of low risk assets. That is your risk/reward ratio, higher risk = higher possible rewards.

Do not get me wrong, I do hope all goes well for EME ! and everyone makes loads of money from it, but I am saying its still just a "high risk" punt.

TAG is considerably derisked by comparison, should rise well, but is not a ten bagger that EME could be, maybe just a 2 or 3 bagger in 2006 :)

Aerotus - 21 Feb 2006 12:38 - 122 of 338

2 or 3 bagger? Is that all? Boring!!! :)

PapalPower - 21 Feb 2006 12:46 - 123 of 338

If only that was the norm and boring Aerotus :))

Aerotus - 21 Feb 2006 16:52 - 124 of 338

There's another 150K T sell marked at 63p! Thats 1p higher than the midprice. Very generous considering it was definitely a sell which kept the lid on the price today. There can't be that much more to go.

Kivver - 21 Feb 2006 17:04 - 125 of 338

suprised by lack of trading and activity considering it seems to be heading quite a few bb's. but im in and waiting, hoping. lol.

PapalPower - 21 Feb 2006 23:31 - 126 of 338

When there is this kind of behind the scenes movement going on, it will just hang around and bob up and down, and the suddenly when you least expect it, it will move quickly.

My estimate on 3X results is 2 to 3 weeks away now, my best guess for timing.

Aerotus - 23 Feb 2006 15:47 - 127 of 338

Papal - There have been loads of buys going through this afternoon. Any comments??

PapalPower - 23 Feb 2006 16:11 - 128 of 338

30K and 50K rollovers in there, but a B trade today at full offer 64p, so again good signs, ignore short term movements and look forward to March.

(PS, I have taken a position in ELP today, ahead of Jaguar drill results, high risk/high reward, just like EME was all those days ago at 30p :)

Aerotus - 23 Feb 2006 16:56 - 129 of 338

And those 200K T buys! HMMMM!!!!!
