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.

So, anyone any ideas on why the mm's are not keen to encourage trading on this stock?

They're taking the P**S

Last week they were protecting it now their killing it!

Last call by mm to buy on cheap I would say!

well perhaps the directors are quielty confident to increase their holdings with testing due to start this month. a signal?.

That implies collusion between the mm's and the board of GOO?

Good news again I see at least we are back to green, blue at the end I think.

You can't say they are not keeping us up to date.

The Nancy well has now stabilized further at a flow rate of 714 bbls per day
with a 4% BS&W (685 bopd). The BS&W is well completion fluid and should all be
removed by the weekend and an encouraging stable flow rate of 550 bopd is
expected once all the gas handling equipment has been completed and is
operational.

Do you guys think mm are short of stock hence cause of fall? If so what could happen?

the way thing are going, i suspect that Goo will be producing big big time. IMO. Should be buying more.

Have done but would just like to see it past 0.10p to stop the twitch!

Do you mean 10p??

Surely, if stock was in short supply, (i.e. demand outstripped supply) the price should be more expensive? My logic, not necessarily right, would assume the opposite. Too much stock & not enough buyers.

looks like block XVI still on course for the GOO portfolio!.

I called that wrong I thought we would see blue at the end, no worries GOO is getting better every day, (early days).

lizard ... apart from the fact that I am a fool, what makes you agree with that opinion?

20D average is 10.69, on todays news the sp should increase. Spread is just over 5% any further fall and the sp has to rise!! Tomorrow should be interesting.

Providing we get some media corverage tomorrow. Surely there must be something!

anyone seen any media?-

nope!
