Has any one noticed this this morning a lot of buying with just one sell Ttrade,any one think this could be a good punt,advice please before its too late.thanks.

getting close to the top up level......AGM on the horizon.....needs some positives to be announced and off we go before the year end......or do i change my rose tinted goggles

good luck the holders

looking a bit more on the positive side from this rns :-



Well-13
Matra is pleased to announce that data acquisition for well-13 is now complete and the production casing has been run and cemented. There will be a further period utilising the drilling rig to clean out cement inside the casing, pressure test and run a cement bond log. The drilling rig will then be released and demobilised. Demobilisation will take about three weeks after which a smaller rig will be utilised to complete, perforate and acidize the well. Production is expected to commence in August.



As previously announced, although reservoir quality at the well-13 location is lower than expected, the well encountered oil at a deeper level than previously anticipated. This means that the field is likely to cover a greater area than originally estimated. The verification of this by seismic remapping has already begun, and this process is likely to take several weeks.





Production Licence and Well-12



Well-12 demonstrated the ability to produce oil at rates exceeding 800 barrels of oil per day however, rising levels of water production through 2008 led to this well being suspended awaiting a well work over. The presence of oil in well-13 at a deeper level than seen in well-12 suggests that water produced from well-12 is likely to come from a source other than the main oil reservoir. In turn this means that it is more likely that oil production can be restored by work over of well-12.

Having complied with all the requirements for the issue of the Production Licence, we remain in constant contact with the authorities and are confident that the Production Licence will be issued shortly.

On this basis, a work over of well-12 will be scheduled directly after the well-13 completion with production targeted for the middle of August.

Matra's Managing Director, Peter Hind said:

"The results of this well show that we have an oilfield of greater areal extent but lesser thickness and quality than our pre-drill estimates. Our priorities are: to put A-13 on production; to obtain the Production Licence; to re-establish production from well-12 and to remap the field using new data obtained.

Although the results from the A13 well were not as positive as anticipated, in any field there are bound to be surprises with the first wells and the challenge is to utilise that information to optimize the future development of the field."

i think they put the news out before the AGM to soften the audience up......but if production commences in august it will help the s.p.

going well imo - 3p by end august min.

I'm not buying.

come on mitzy where's your buy buy buy motivation gone.,.

lol..

Close to buying.

close to crying.,.

lol..

1.25p and i be adding to my holding.....waiting till year end

glad i topped up yesterday at 1.40p as is 20% up today..

up another 12% with no news.....coming good.

Great.

if there isn't any news out the s.p. will drift back down......which i dont want......

6M cash & no debt - mta easily worth more than current sp - imo will multi bag from this sp in the coming months :


RNS Number : 9386Q Matra Petroleum PLC 12 August 2010 12th August 2010 Matra Petroleum PLC ("Matra" or the "Company") Interim Results Matra Petroleum PLC, an independent oil and gas exploration and production Company with operations in Russia, today announces its results for the period ended 30 June 2010 Highlights Operational The first appraisal well in the Sokolovskoe Field, Well-13, successfully proved the presence of an oil reservoir and a short open-hole test produced light, sweet oil at a rate of approximately 110 bbl/day Permission granted to re-enter Well-12 to re-establish production Financial Cash of 6 million at period-end Zero debt Outlook Plans to bring Well-13 on production Complete the remapping and geological modelling of the Sokolovskoe field Peter Hind, Managing Director commented: "2010 is an important year for Matra. We have completed our first appraisal well in the Sokolovskoe Field, proving the presence of the same oil reservoir 2.6 km from the discovery well. The result has provided information to assist our understanding of the field and how best to take the development forward. In the coming months we hope to have both wells on production and to have completed remapping and re-evaluation of the field."

even greater!!

lol.

On the run.

not sure why......but long may it remain...
