Going gr8t guns again today, Heading for that 50p!!

When do we crack open the champers?? lol

4.00 and i`ll be buying!!

Well I converted from trader to investor on these. Took out a SB. yesterday but another 24k ORDS. this morning, will tuck these away for the long haul.

Cup and handle pattern formed now, this is a very bullish sign and reflects crude chart. Should put a big smile on our faces in afew years or even months time.

Bank of America (NYSE: IKJ - news) upgrades Afren (LSE: AFR.L - news) to buy from neutral, raising target to 72p from 52p,

In addition MACD just crossed over another great Buy signal..

DYOR.

Should cross thro 200dma tomrw. Very bullish

Another very solid start!, how far will this momentum us. Every technical indicator says go at present.

The dollar is starting to drop quite a bit ...used to be $1.40 to the pound now $1.52 and dropping, if this trend continues this will fuel the price of oil (nice pun that !)....the tankers outside Rotterdam waiting to unload might be for customers that have bought at a very low price...when that is used up it will be more expensive.

Oil well through $60 now afren on the brink of a breakout at 50p remember not long a go 14p. Come on peeps buy in! 2.00 here we come.

f'ing rampresses!

Nothing wrong with ramping a gr8t company!!!!!

Powered by IST's

good breakout with high volume = >12 million vs 7.5m norm

At $68 PB. every $1 rise adds $24k to our daily earnings and the rise of late means thats alot of extra dosh.

BUY - BUY - BUY - BUY - BUY As per my previous post on the 12th May the chart has come up with the goods.

Oil trading at over $68 pb. every cent = $240. Manic start to yesterday long may it continue.

Wednesday's star recommendation on UK-AnaIyst.com comes from James Faulkner of WatsHot.comWednesday, 3 June, 2009 1:08 PM

Buy Afren (AFR) at 52.25p

The Company:

Afren was founded in 2004 with the aim of becoming the premier independent pan-African oil exploration and production company.

Since its IPO on AIM in 2005 it has built up a portfolio of interests in six countries Nigeria, Soa Tome & Principe JDZ, Gabon, Congo, the Ivory Coast and Ghana and is currently producing at a rate of around 27,000 barrels of oil per day, mainly from its Nigerian interests.

The company leverages the insight and local clout of its management team to ensure it has the upper hand in its chosen regions through close relationships with governments and through partnerships with indigenous corporations. This provides a low-risk operating model in what is usually considered to be a relatively high risk area. Headed by CEO and industry veteran Osman Shahenshah, the management team is top-notch for an E&P company of this size.

Production:

Afrens main production assets include Okoro-Setu and Ebok in Nigeria along with its interests in the Ivory Coast which it bought from Devon Energy in 2008. We shall deal with Okoro-Setu first as this provides the backbone of current production.

Located 12 kilometres offshore Nigeria, Okoro-Setu (Afren: 50% working interest) reached the first oil milestone in June 2008 two years from announcing the financing and production sharing agreement with its partner Amni in 2006. STOIIP (stock tank oil initially in place) estimates for Okoro-Setu range from 80-130 million barrels. All 7 wells have now been brought onstream and are currently producing 22,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd).

Afren bagged Devon Energys Ivory Coast interests back in March 2008 for $205 million funded through a financing package with BNP Paribas. They consist of a 47.96% working interest and operatorship of the producing Block CI-11, a direct 65% interest and operatorship with rights over an additional 15% interest in the undeveloped Block CI-01 and a 100% interest in the onshore Lion Gas Plant. These assets provided Afren with an immediate 3,000 boepd (barrels of oil equivalent per day) production uplift and boosted 2P (proven and probable) reserves by 28 million boe. There is also significant potential to upgrade both reserves and production, and Afren is targeting total net daily production volumes of 6,000 boepd from the projects by 2010.

But the real biggy has to be Ebok. Afren announced a farm-in agreement with Oriental Energy Resources for the development of the Ebok field, located off-shore South East Nigeria, in April 2008. In March this year the firm announced a successful outcome of its Ebok field appraisal which resulted in the pre-drill expectations of 23 million boe of 2P reserves being doubled to 41 million boe. Additional contingent reserves and prospective resources could see this figure doubled again if the Ebok West and North fault blocks are successfully appraised. The company has plans to fast track well development with a production system that will deliver up to 25,000 bopd in early 2010, with a full field development achieving up to 50,000 bopd by end 2010.

Exploration:

The La Noumbi prospect (Afren: 14%) in the Congo is highly prospective given its proximity to the world-class MBoundi field. Exploration drilling is planned for the first half of 2009 and mean estimates for prospective resources stand at 440 million boe. Afren also has small interests in the Iris Marin and Ibekelia prospects in Gabon and the JDZ (Joint Development Zone) off Soa Tome and Principe, which could host a billion barrel resource.

Good buying opportunity at the moment it should bounce of the BBI

In time this should go above the pound level once again.....shame about the pullback but it'll come back again.
