The tiny Irish stock on the brink of landing 'the first' post-sanction oil deal in Iraq. Ref 'Fleet Street Letter' 12-04-04..

Wheres the regualars gone, has quiet as a pet rns. Ah well its only money. I fell for it too the biggest stitch up since the last biggest stich up.

The last stich up was PRE

The Reuters release says "If approved by the cabinet, the agreements will be the first oil deals with foreign firms Iraq has struck since the end of Saddam Hussein's rule." That is Pet's problem. It cannot confirm that it has lost the contracts until they have been approved by the Council of Ministers and it has been officially notified itself. That might take days.

well, not a regular but as a posted earlier on advfn, its like christmas on the somme, the wporst of human nature in terms of gloating over the loss and shorters making money at the expense of me and my kids summer holiday in Disney...ah wel, I go down fighting, and hoping..more rns to come surely to God

(Livvy Back in the fight)

LivvyTyler - good luck to you.

No gloating here, (yet) that I have seen.

seawallwalker - The same pair of WANKERS run PRE n PET full of BULL SHIT the PAIR... imho!

chartist2004,

I'm confused... if you feel that way about PET and PRE why start this thread? Or did you come to the conclusion in hindsight.

skids

chartist2004 - I know, and I agree.

sea - I was just passing on info from fleet street letter.

just keep holding and don`t panic, there is still a lot on offer, the sp will rise in anticipation, like it has done for the last several months.
remember the 50% rise on feb 19th and then a drop of the same, we`ve seen it all before.

funny old world....Share price down 58% and buys outnumber sells!I know there is more to the story. Just shows you can not take numbers on face value

HI ALL THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE POSTED I HAVE BEEN WITH PETREL SINCE APR THIS YEAR BOUGHT IN AT 38P.I HAVE EMAILED DAVID HORGAN NUMEROUS TIMES AND ALWAYS HAD A REPLY.I HAVE JSUT SPOKE TO MR HORGAN PERSONALLY TODAY.HE STATES HE IS AS MUCH IN THE DARK AS US.THEY SAW THE REPORT ON REUTERS AND RELEASED THE RNS. AS FAR AS THEY ARE CONCERNED THEY HAVE HEARD NOTHING.HE THEN EMAILED ME WITH THE FOLLOWING.


" As we noted in the RNS, there Reuters report (just as the Muslim weekend
began) that the Ministry of Oil had awarded the 1st two of tenders to a
Turkish and Canadian group respectively. We have received no notication
or denial that this is the case - or response as yet to our query.

We submitted the final offer on the third oil field development tender
(Subba & Luhais) just yesterday on Wednesday 15th Dec. at 12.00. At
that time there was no update on the first two. Just last Thursday,
they asked us for our bank details in case they needed to open a Letter
of Credit on the first two tenders. We took this as a positive but have
received no notification either way.

For the last year, the Ministry had stressed that they wanted the best
technology that would operate in a challenging environment. We
accordingly pulled together the best suppliers (GE, Hanover,
Weatherford, etc.) and solution. Of course, there will always be a low
bidder from the developing world - so you can never be sure in any
competitive tender.

Anything is possible. There are many rumours. As soon as we receive
notification we will inform you.

We are confident that we will not be beaten technically. But it is in a
war zone and we have included a contingency and a risk-adjusted return.
The Ministry engineers seemed impressed at our submissions. There will
be more projects, and particularly the largest of the three oil field
developments (Subba & Luhais).

In the meantime we push on with our western desert exploration work.

Regards,

I HOPE THIS INFORMATION IS USEFUL.
CHEERS
KOPKING

I don't hold these but I feel really sorry for those who do. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and hope you'll recover. There is a drink at my place for you if it helps.

LOL

Willfagg, multiply buys x price and sells x price and that tells a different story.
Dexter, too many got fingers burnt on this one and they won't be back for more of the same. I'm in the JT and DH are wankers camp myself. Lost small on PET, rather more singed on PRE. Twats.

Signed "Disgruntled Shareholder"
(former shareholder)

thanks for note kopking

Get ready to place some money into Sibir on the 21 ST Dec when shares come out of suspension.

Been suspended for 9 Months, Lots of Positive things happened since including 1 year early production from its $1 Billion Saylym Fields.

This company has REAL potential and backing.

Shares Suspended at 28p, compare this to PET and do the research .

thanks for the e-mail kopking, strange that they would ask for bank details, and then award the contracts to someone else. Ah well the gamble didn't pay off, but I'm not going to start slagging off DH & JT, they have worked tirelessly to push these tenders through, and in the end it looks as if the 1st 2 didn't come off for them, I've got 30k left in PET and it is staying there, as I still have faith in DH, 40 pence seems to be holding as a support level, you'll see alot of shorters now closing their positions if they haven't already. I'm absolutely gutted, as researching PET has taken up alot of my time, but I'm not about to start crying about the management, as something that was out of their control has happened.

Dear Beastie,
Agree re Twats
Unfortunately "still a shareholder"

Landsdownboy, has it really been 9 months?
Got some of these. Due some good news!!

Tokyo, I'm amazed at your reaction. Wish I was as calm. I've not really lost as I got in months ago, but I'm blazing!!!
