Taghmen Energy's subsidiary is Petrolatina

Taghmen Energy is an early stage play on being first mover in Guatemala, which management describes as one of the worlds most under-explored oil and gas regions with a proven reserve base of 87 billion barrels. The geology is said to be similar to southern Mexico, which currently produces 3.5 million barrels of oil per day.No extra funds were in the flotation which valued the company at 35 million. The move was sponsored by Canaccord Capital which has enjoyed a good reputation promoting natural resources companies

Drilling Update

RNS Number:9432U
Taghmen Energy PLC
01 December 2005
TAGHMEN ENERGY Plc

Las Casas-Well 3X produces high quality oil

Taghmen Energy Plc ("Taghmen" or the "Company") an independent oil and gas
exploration, development and production company, focused on Latin America, which
listed on AIM in January 2005 announces the result of the initial test of its
Well 3X. The well is currently producing 40o API oil at an estimated rate of
100 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") under "swabbing" operations.

Based on the Company's current understanding, the well will be economic to
produce and together with the completion of a successful sidetrack of Well 1X in
early 2006, will lead to the commercial development of the Las Casas Field,
within Licence 6-93.

Well 3X

Well 3X is Taghmen's first oil discovery and the first new exploration well
drilled on the Las Casas structure within Licence 6-93 in Guatemala. It was
drilled to a total depth of 9,300 feet. The well was logged and three pay zones
were identified. Only one of these has been perforated so far.

The well has now been "swabbed" for five days resulting in a calculated daily
flow rate of 100 bopd. It is planned to perform an acid treatment to stimulate
production further. This will be followed by the installation of a Progressive
Cavity Pump and the well will then be put on a long term production test. It is
anticipated that the use of a pump will increase production from the well
materially. The use of pumps to maintain production is standard procedure in
Guatemala.

With an API of 40o, this is the highest quality oil found to date in Guatemala
and should therefore command a price close to world prices.


Forward Programme

The necessary infrastructure exists on site to allow the immediate production,
storage and sale of the crude oil produced.

In addition to the sidetrack of Well 1X, the Company is also planning a seismic
programme over the remainder of Licence 6-93, to confirm further drilling
locations.

Nicholas Gay, President and CEO of Taghmen Energy Plc:

"This is a significant development for Taghmen. We believe that the continuation
of further testing and cleaning up of the well will prove to be beneficial to
increase the production and maintain the high quality of hydrocarbons that are
apparent in the Las Casas structure."

ABOUT TAGHMEN ENERGY

Management
125 years of combined oil and gas industry experience
Various members of the management group have previously worked together and they have extensive international oil and gas experience in a number of projects within both developing and developed countries including Russia, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Canada, Azerbaijan and the UK.
The Directors consider that the key strength of the Groups management team lies in its track record in finding and developing oil and gas fields in developing countries, accessing the necessary operating personnel and developing local staff.

Nicholas Gay and John Scott worked together in Russia at Bitech. While at Bitech, Bitech acquired Vanguard Oil Corporation where, together with Geoffrey Killick, they discovered and developed the Rabeh East oil field in Egypt, which was at the time estimated by Bitechs management to have proved and probable in excess of 20 million barrels of recoverable oil.
Separately, Nicholas Gay was a key player in the development and success of PetroKazakhstan Inc (formerly Hurricane Hydrocarbons Limited in Kazakhstan), while John Scott was Chief Operating Officer of Arawak Energy Corporation, a Canadian publicly listed company, in Azerbaijan and was instrumental in the development of that company.
Michael Realini, currently President of Mexpetrol, has worked in Guatemala between 1992 and 1998 as the Vice-President of Exploration of Pentagon Petroleum Inc. He was appointed as the General Manager of Mexpetrol in 2002.
Gregory Smith and Nicholas Gay have relationships with the financial and banking community and have a proven track record in raising both equity and debt finance.
History
The company was formed in July 2004 to acquire and pursue exploration, development and production of oil and gas assets with an initial focus in Latin America.

In 2004, the company raised .3 million (net of costs) through private placements principally with institutional investors to fund the acquisition of Mexpetrol which owns the licence in Guatemala and subsequent operations related thereto.
The Companys current operations comprise the exploration and development of oil and gas reserves in Guatemala, in particular the Las Casas 6-93 concession covering 130,186 hectares in the Peten basin of Guatemala.
The Las Casas lincence was obtained through the purchase of Mexpetrol (Guatemala) Corporation for an aggregate consideration of US.3 million.
Initially Guatemala
Guatemala, a relatively under-explored region, with a high level of prospectivity:
Close proximity to to Mexico and its highly productive fields
The oil and gas fields along the southern margin of the south Peten Basin including Rubelsanto and the area covered by the license lie in a similar geological setting to the oil and gas fields in southern Mexico.
The reservoirs under these fields are of the same age and the two areas have undergone a similar geological history. Many comparisons can therefore be made between the two areas as seismic and sub-service data suggest that the Chiapas southwestern geological trend extends into the Southern Peten (Chapayal) basin. The directors consider reservoir deposits Reefel such as are proven in Mexico have not yet been drilled in Guatemala and could be a valid exploration target in Guatemala.
The economy of Guatemala is growing and there is a strong demand and need for oil and gas energy. The recently elected Government is keen to promote inward investment in general and specifically from small entrepreneurial companies, such as Taghmen.

Licenses
The Company holds the exploration and production licence to the Las Casas 6-93 concession which allows for the exploration and development of the property covering a total of 323,000 acres in the Peten Basin.
The Licence was granted in October 1993 for a 25 year period.
The current 2004 work programme calls for the work over of the 2X well and the drilling of the 3X well, while that for 2005 requires the workover of the 1X well and the drilling of the 4X well.
The licence is issued as production sharing agreement with royalty based on the API of the crude and profit shares governed by the production levels.
A new licencing round is set to to take place in Guatemala in early 2005. The Company intends to bid in the next licencing round.

PpP: Thanks very much for those. Having noted the wild ride over on VOG, I'm
going to digest all this at leisure as it looks like food for w.e. reading.

Topped up today squidd, mine was the 15K @ 62.4p buy

Got a feeling news is not far away now, and good news too.

When you are doing your reading of the article in post 113 squidd, I hope the following lines catch your eye, something to look forward too when drilling starts there H2 06 after H1 06 seismic ?

The bit from the article with the explosive fuse for 2006 for TAG in Belize 19 are these lines;
"These features include active oil seeps, giant structures and thick reef-rock reservoirs. Each of these prospects could yield reserves in the giant to super giant category."

PpP: Like you, I was up early this morning, and looking forward to a drive to London to meet some old cronies, but the fog drove me back and now seems to be thickening in the New Forest area, so I'm unexpectedly here in front of my screen.
I was very pleased to read about TAG's new licences, particularly in Belize, as it confirms that Nick G. is extending his empire as we hoped. And the ciglobal details sound really exciting, but I haven't rushed out to order the Ferrari, because browsing through details of all the other cig concessions on offer prompted a relapse into my cynical mode. It reads just like an Estate Agent's brochure of particulars from the good old days before the Trades Description Act curbed their excesses and I find it hard to believe that there are so many known reserves waiting to be exploited.
The news is certainly positive, but for me, TAG remains a gamble in which I'm banking on the professionalism of Nick G. and his team. If the price drifts, I'll consider adding to my already significant holding, but meanwhile, for today I'm focussing on some other prospects, including PMK and PTC. Take a look.

I am hoping that we get the news this week on 3X. Taghmen have been very active, the Fidelity money was likely to urgently do extra seismic on Las Casas before 1X and 4X (and likely due to a significant discovery during 3X drilling), but they have forged ahead with getting the new licences for Belize and Guatemala. They seem very confident just we are missing the news that would put all the jigsaw into place, and that is the flow rates for 3X and resource statement. DYOR but it should be good.

If flow is good and its commercial, Taghmen join the much higher priced producer/explorer and not just explorer anymore. With more than ten new wells to be drilled in 2006, they could end 2006 producing more bopd than some very much higher market cap companies do as we stand today. Exciting times ahead.

Seems we posted near the same time there squidd.

PTC is interesting with the new sim4travel company.

PMK will take a look

Drop back from the past few trading days and a move up today could mean news is not far away now, I hope so.

An interesting post by 64bit, do your own research;


64bit - 22 Nov'05 - 00:28 - 395 of 396

i'd intended to post a short story today... a story about the original
flower spud that ***** drilled at belize block19.
unfortunately, a veto has been expressed.
however, i can tell readers that the angola connection doubled up last week,
and thats good enough for me - these chaps really know their stuff
and are all ex che*ron...
the delay in announcing 3x has been due to local weather shutting down
operations for more than a week.
expect news imminently.
caveat emptor.

Just to add some more info now on Belize Block 19 as it is significant that TAG are working in this potential zone, and also working with USACapitalEnergy.


Firstly it was locked away by the Texan group when it came on offer. Belize Block 19 is on the same Reef Formation as the massive Mexican fields, and has the potential to deliver something significant if Mexico is anything to go by. Oil has been found in Belize, but mostly at the Spanish Lookout area (38API light sweet), and this is not on the reef formation, B19 is plum reef formation and the only well drilled before just missed the pay zones it now appears. Luckily for our Texan friends and TAG, it did miss ;) . The company they are working with is USA Capital Energy, this is where A7 and B19 licenses come from.

The image below shows the field on the Reef strip.



While we should not over estimate B19, its purely speculative, we also should not underestimate what could be a massive reservoir of oil and gas with a semblance to Mexico, so bear it in mind through 2006.

The link below is for the article which follows it;

Company Press Release
USCapital Energy Signs New Oil and Gas Exploration and Production-Sharing Agreement with Government of Belize
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- March 9, 2001 -- USCapital Energy Belize LTD. today announced the Government of Belize has awarded it exclusive oil and gas exploration and production rights in an area covering 900,000 on-shore acres in Southern Belize. The area, known as Block 19, contains the largest untested oil and gas prospects in Belize.
"Were excited about the prospect of discovering significant oil reserves in Belize using methods that have been successful in neighboring Guatemala and Mexico," said Brian E. Richter, president of USCapital Energy. "Helping the people of Belize become less dependent on foreign oil is an added benefit of this agreement."
Mark E. Miller, an attorney with the law firm Greenberg Traurig LLP who negotiated the contract on behalf of USCapital, added, "This is a win-win situation; the government gains access to world-wide expertise and capital to help it develop much needed natural resources and USCapital receives the exclusive right to explore in what it believes are the lowest risk, highest potential return areas of the country."
The contract is among the largest oil and gas contracts ever awarded by the government of Belize. Although Belize has no current oil and gas production, the government is hopeful that activities of USCapital and its partners will help establish production similar to that found in both Mexico and Guatemala.
USCapital Energy is a privately held, Texas-based company that owns oil and gas-producing properties in the mid-continent, Rocky Mountain and Gulf Coast of the United States. The company also holds and manages ownership interests in international exploration concessions in the Caribbean and Latin America.

squidd did you find any other information on B19 ?

Quiet day today, 30K buys and 27K sells, complete nothing of a day.

The weather has improved now at LC (better over the past few days) so all back to normal again.

Las Casas Weather link is below and now in the header, yes I am bored ;

http://www.fallingrain.com/world/GT/14/Las_Casas.html

Moving up today :)

....on no volume...what does that mean??

Could be some large T trade buys later to report ?

A good day, keeping a watch on trades Thursday and Friday will be key, if more and more buys come in and the price rises into the weekend, we could be expecting news next week.

PpP: I had thought that the excitement surrounding VOG and AEX might be influencing TAG but a glance at my watch list of 20 oil minnows suggests otherwise. I think people are becoming interested in TAG on its own merits and we shouldn't have too long to wait for news.
sd.

squidd agreed, and I do think news will be this week (but may be wrong)

Good news today, swabbing results are good and the well is to be commercial.

Once acid work is done and a pump installed, we should get some decent flow rates, and the oil is top grade !!

The markets didn`t seem to impressed were they expecting a higher flow rate ,i must admit i`m still not in this .
Oh nearly forgot good call on Oasis.
DB66

DB66 its just swabbing results and a note to say its commercial, we will not know real flow rates until acid work is done, and then pump installed. It could be very good, we just do not know yet, but we have 100 bopd just from swabbing, and that is API 40, the good stuff.
