GOLD OIL, the London-based oil exploration company focused on the South American and Caribbean region, announces that in late December 2005, the Company received an Operator Certificate from PeruPetro that allows the Company to carry out seismic, drilling and development operations in Northwest Peru.
The Promotion Licence signed with PeruPetro on October 15, 2004 with PeruPetro for Block XI (now renamed Block XXI) onshore Sechura Basin has been converted to an Exploration and Production Licence. The Licence now goes to the Ministry of Energy and Mines for approval, which could be forthcoming anytime between February and May of this year 2006.
The terms of the E&P Licence commit the Company to either shoot 120 km of 2D seismic or drill a well in the first period of five over a seven year term. The remaining four periods require the Company to either drill a well or drop the acreage. The Licence is for a term of 30 years for oil and 40 years for gas, with a minimum royalty of 5% on wellhead production for the first 5000bopd (30 MMscfd for gas) rising to 20% if and when production reaches 100,000 bopd (600 MMscfd for gas).

Times Article:
Gold Oil is valued in the market at about �15m. That is so small that almost any good news must have a big impact on the share price.
What are the chances of that happening? Run by a former Burmah Oil director, Mike Burchell, Gold Oil will drill the first in a series of wells in the Sechura Basin in April. There will be surprise if it does not find gas, as another company, Olympic, has done just that in a similar formation nearby.
The secondary target, later in the year, will be oil, I gather. A couple of months ago, Petro Tech made a big oil find offshore in the Sechura Basin. The theory is the oil may have migrated up into Gold Oil�s block. Don�t ask me to explain the geology because I don�t speak Palaeozoic. But a decent oil find here would be a company-maker.
Gold Oil has enough cash to fund this year�s drilling programme. And it already has a deal in place to sell its gas to Mann Ferrostaal, a German company that is building an ammonia plant nearby. Getting all that for �15m seemed a bargain to me. But Gold Oil still has to find its gas.

Cynic - You have been having too many french holidays.
As you know we just hang 'em high these days!

more seriously, is h+s indicative of a rising or a falling price? ...... my untrained eye says the latter, for surely that would just be following its current trend ...... sp is far too wild for any meaningful support level(s) to have formed and 200 dma, though rising nicely is a further 3p lower

thought you would be more into the tyre necklace

Good news wanted , or the sp will slip down . on most of these threads its the same . If i could have a pound for every post saying "news soon" i would not have to trade .

hope yopu don't hold SEO either then! ...... btw, contact marcus if you have not already done so re golf; suggest Belfry and/or Hollinwell

sold seo at 15 , lucky, they are still waiting for news!

had never heard of SEO until i found myself fascinated by the HUGE volume of traffic on that site...... As far as I can see, and I really know nothing about the company, it is a disaster just waiting for the receiver .... Alan may yet prove that he is right and I am wrong

cynic- this formation in trading terminology is a support sign. but in aim stocks, charts are not always worth studying whereas news flow is key.

very slow but i would want nbm production to be in flow by weekend. its not the scale of this project its the potential of ecopetrol approval and 'a foot in the door' to further openings in colombia. that gets me going.

Still in there with my 250,000 goo. these shares are standing me at .11p average price per share. just noticed today they are down again three quarters of a penny. I am not quite sure that i like the look of this at the moment. All i can say is that I hope this time there iss some very good news coming to make up for my previous losses. Last time when the news came out they dropped from 14.5p down to - well i panicked and sold my entire holding at .85p lost all my profits and made an 8k loss. to break even on this one they would need to go back up to .17p. I know this is a long term investment at the moment. Lets all hope the news is excellent. I believe that we all need it. take care all.

JB ... that's a lot of capital tied up in a minnow E&P company with as yet no proper assets ..... I have a modest holding on the basis that perhaps 3 of 10 come good .... most holes drilled come up dry

Yes indeed, Janet. In hindsight, I should've listened to Fliper and waited for the sp to drop below 10p. Very nearly bought at 13p previously so could've been a lot worse! Fundamentals appear to be genuine with more than one revenue stream lined up. So not overly concerned, just yet.

Driver & Lizard, Is it today or tomorrow when you are expecting further news?

I'll be watching The Ryder Cup tomorrow so no chance of keeping an eye out for an RNS!

nor i as shall be on a cookery course at Le Manoir ...... been really looking forward to it, failing to register that Ryder Cup was on when i booked it several months back

markus- this week!. but beyond my control. just what i was told.

All reds yesterday to blues today two good RNS today other companies and yet still waiting for a stupid "few days" piston.

laurie
Dont worry I have sent them a tin WD40 that should solve the problem.

Laurie did you send it in first class post? ;-))))

looking at the chart, we can see a head and shoulders patterns, indicating that the sp may head back to 6p if good news did not come at this point. this is only in technical view. At this stage, it becomes very interesting as we are already observing it, many are leaving the party. However, the technical analysts do get it wrong sometimes or get it right for a while only. Now three things are clear:

-After the waiting time if the news is not very encouraging at this point the sp will return to 6p. In this case it would be crazy not to buy more and more.
- if the news is nice the sp will head back to 14p with strong support
- if the news is excellent one can admire the sp flying to high places of 25p

I repeat GOO is top banana company and i remain invested wheter the sp falls at this point or not. Things do change, so one should not take this too seriously. All in my view. there is more juice in this juicy litlle fish and longterm to medium term investors will be rewarded. Best luck

just looked at the last trade 500k sold at 9.05p. All sells today and yet mm wont budge. mmm wonder what tomorrow brings.

one thing to be thankful for, it has not dropped any lower today. Do you think people are getting fed up with waiting for the next news. Its like i have said before, the longer we wait for the news - could be a bad sign, because if they had some good news to tell us, they would tell us. I really do hope that i am wrong. This has now happened with vog and the last goo news. sorry if this is depressing. There does seem to be a lot of people selling and not many people buying. Anyway I am in for the long term. What do the rest of you think out there. Lets hear your views on this.
