Desire Petroleum are drilling in Falklands (DES)

Desire Petroleum plc (Desire) is a UK company listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) dedicated to exploring for oil and gas in the North Falkland Basin. Desire has recently completed a 6 well exploration programme. The Liz well encountered dry gas and gas condensate at 2 separate levels while other wells recorded shows.
Together with the Rockhopper Exploration Sea Lion oil discovery in the licence to the north, these wells have provided significant encouragement for the potential of the North Falkland Basin. The oil at Sea Lion is of particular interest as this has demonstrated that oil is trapped in potentially significant quantities in a fan sandstone on the east flank of the basin. It is believed that over 50% of this east flank play fairway is on Desire operated acreage.
Desire has now completed new 3D seismic acquisition which provides coverage over the east flank play, Ann, Pam and Helen prospects. The results from fast-track processing of priority areas are provided in the 2011 CPR. A farm-out to Rockhopper has been announced. The revised equities are shown on the licence map (subject to regulatory approval and completion of the farm-in well). Desire Petroleum

Todays candle is a hammer pattern. It is a bullish signal. It does not guarantee a reversal of the recent sell-off, but gives us a strong indication that recent weakness is faltering. As with most candlestick patterns we need to look at the following days action for confirmation. However, I would ask readers to take a look at the chart to see how many occasions that other hammers have formed a base.that way the doubters out there can draw their own conclusions. Remember, the charts dont move the market, they merely represent the \ction of the buyers and sellers in the market. When we can see repetitive occurrences, we can formulate an opinion of where the market is likely to go next.

Is the World Running Out of Oil? Yes And No
by Joseph Nocera The New York Times
International Herald Tribune 9/13/2005

"We're halfway through the hydrocarbon era," my old friend Boone Pickens has been saying for the last couple of years. You may know Pickens as a corporate raider of the 1980s, but he has spent his life in the oil patch. A geologist by training, Pickens founded an oil exploration company, Mesa Petroleum, at the age of 26 and ran it for the next 40 years. Now, at the age of 77, he works the oil patch in a different way, running a pair of energy-oriented hedge funds in Dallas.
A folksy line like that, it sticks with you. But I hadn't realized until I began poking around the world of oil forecasting in the wake of Hurricane Katrina that it also meant Pickens had taken sides in a surprisingly heated debate. He subscribes to what is sometimes called the "peak oil hypothesis," which holds that there simply isn't very much new oil left to be found in the world. And, as a result, we are currently in the gradual process of draining the more than 1.2 trillion barrels of proven reserves that are still in the ground. And when it's gone, it's gone.
The best-known "peakist" these days is Matthew Simmons, who runs Simmons & Co., a Houston-based investment bank and consulting firm specializing in energy companies. Some of Simmons' views were recently given an airing in a New York Times Magazine article about the awful possibility that Saudi Arabian oil has peaked, something Simmons believes is a distinct possibility. His essential belief, he told me recently, is that "energy demand is about to significantly exceed supply. And that was pre-Katrina" before the hurricane damaged refineries, pipelines and offshore rigs all along the Gulf Coast of the United States.
"I would argue that we are in a serious energy crisis," Simmons added. He forecasts increasing oil prices.
There is a second group of forecasters, though, who argue with equal vehemence that, Katrina not withstanding, the world is not only not in an energy crisis now, it probably won't face one for a very long time. The best-known proponent of this view is Daniel Yergin, author of "The Prize," a history of oil that won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize, and the founder of what has become a rather sizable consulting firm, Cambridge Energy Research Associates, or CERA. "This is the fifth time that we're supposedly running out of oil," he said the other day. But, he added, each time new technologies made it possible for oil companies both to find new sources of oil and extract new oil from old sources. A CERA survey released a few months ago says that between 2004 and 2010, world oil supplies will have increased by as much as 16 million barrels a day, "outstripping the likely demand increase." Most of those who hold this view believe that oil prices will eventually drift down.
Does it surprise you to learn that when it comes to one of most vital resources known to man, there could be such an incredible divergence of opinion? It sure surprised me. I was especially surprised to realize that even some of the oil majors are on opposites sides, with Chevron taking the peakist view and Exxon Mobil more aligned with the Yergin camp.
There are three reasons for this lack of consensus. First, because oil is buried underground, it is hard to measure. So basic "facts" such as how much oil remains, and how much can be ultimately extracted are as much the product of guesswork as science. Second, the world of oil can be shrouded in secrecy. As was recently pointed out in that New York Times Magazine article, Saudi Arabia, the biggest producer of them all, won't even allow its reserve and production data to be audited.
Finally, the fact that this enormous divergence has developed speaks volumes about the very different way each camp views the world. As Seth Kleinman, an analyst with PFC Energy in Washington, put it recently, "It's the geologists on one side and the economists on the other side." And while it is impossible to know, right now, whether the geologists or the economists will turn out to be right, we can at least understand why each side believes what it does and form some judgments from that.
Just about the only thing about which both sides agree is that the recent run-up in oil prices, which began well before Hurricane Katrina, has been caused because demand for oil spurred by growth in China, the generally healthy economic condition of the Western world, and other factors has caught up with supply. "The world produces about 85 million barrels a day," Pickens said. "That's where demand is now, too. And I've seen forecasts that demand is going to be higher than that by the end of the year."
What's more, Pickens said, pre-Katrina refining capacity was already at the breaking point. "Refineries were operating at 96 percent," he said. "You can't operate anything at 96 percent. It'll start breaking down."
That, though, encapsulates the world view of the peakists: All the easy deals have been done. One reason refineries are operating at such a high capacity is that no new refineries have been built in the United States for some 30 years. Simmons claims that this was due to the shortsightedness of the oil industry: "My theory was that if the industry didn't expand like crazy, the U.S. would find itself running short of energy." It didn't, and that's what happened.
Even more troubling, the pessimists believe that, despite new technologies, it is going to be increasingly difficult to replace the oil that we're now using up. "Let me give you a number that is pretty shocking when you hear it," Pickens said. "The world uses 30 billion barrels of oil a year. There is no way we're replacing 30 billion barrels of oil. Just a million barrels a year is 1,000 wells producing 1,000 barrels a day. That's big," he said.
How do the economists respond to that? They don't deny that it is hard to find new oil. But they believe that when tight supplies push up the price, as is happening now, the rising price becomes our salvation. For one thing, higher prices will probably temper demand, as people begin to change their energy habits. Surprisingly, this has not yet happened, even as the price of gas at the pump has more than doubled in the last year or so. But there will come a point where it will change behavior.
Secondly, they believe, the rising price itself is what spurs innovation. Oil that could not be extracted profitably at, say, $15 a barrel can be enormously profitable at $60 a barrel. In the view of Yergin and his allies, in fact, this is exactly what has been happening. They point to new oil that is coming out of the Caspian Sea, deep-water drilling in Brazil and the oil sands in northern Alberta. The 16 million barrels a day of new oil Yergin expects to see by 2010, he told me, "is predicated on $25 and $30 oil." If oil stays higher than that, there will be even more investment not just in ways to extract oil, but in new refineries, pipelines and other infrastructure.
Mention this theory to a hard-core peakist like Simmons, and get ready for an earful. "These economists are so smug," he said derisively. "All they talk about is the magic of the free market. They don't seem to understand that this is incredibly capital- intensive." He pointed to the Canadian oil sands where, he said, Shell Canada recently announced it was going to increase its investment to $7.3 billion from $4 billion to produce an additional 100,000 barrels a day. "$3.3 billion for just 100,000," Simmons said. "Doesn't that tell you something?"
Of course, the economists can be just as dismissive of the peakists. "I've gone from disagreeing with them to debunking them," scoffed Michael Lynch, an energy consultant. "By most estimates, total global resources is 8 trillion barrels of oil. They are saying only a small percentage of that is recoverable, and you can't do anything about it. We are saying the amount that is recoverable expands over time."
I wish I had the confidence to make my own forecast. What I do know is that oil is a finite resource. Surely, the peakists are right about that. What I also know is that the economists have generally been right about how the price of oil has wound up fixing the problem. As Gary Ross, chief executive of PIRA Energy Group, a consulting firm, put it, "Price is the only thing that matters. The new threshold of price will do its magic on the supply and demand side."
After all, it always has before. And it will again. Until it doesn't

4.08pm 100k, on second thoughts that looks like yesterday's trade declared a little late. I had the impression that a shrewd investor was buying in quantity in the afternoons judging by the last two day's trades but he seems to have stopped today.

Terror threat will lock up Iraq oil for another five years, warns UK driller
By Christopher Hope (Filed: 16/09/2005)
Iraq will not start to produce "substantial oil" for at least five years, according to the boss of Abbot Group, Britain's biggest oil drilling company.
Alasdair Locke, Abbot's executive chairman, said Abbot was watching how Iraq develops but added that the war-torn country was too dangerous for his staff.
The security dangers were delaying the development of the country's oil and gas infrastructure, which would cost "tens of billions of dollars" to put right. Mr Locke added: "There is no tap you can just turn on. The situation has got to calm down.
"I can't send my people to Iraq - it is too dangerous. We know what needs to be done.
"It will be at least five years before we get any substantial oil out of Iraq, and to get from 1m barrels a day to 3m barrels a day will take three years."
He was speaking as Abbot reported a drop in first-half profits from 12.6m to 11.7m on sales down from 188.4m to 165.5m, caused by a decline in drilling activity in the North Sea.
However, land rigs rates were up by as much as 15pc from $20,000 (11,000) a week to $25,000 a week.
Mr Locke suggested that with oil prices touching $60 a barrel marginal fields around the Falklands Islands became economic. He forecast that the company was "confident of delivering materially improving results year-on-year from 2006 and thereafter".
Abbot's shares closed down 7 at 261p.

Today's trading above 40.25p (the 23 Aug low) pretty much dispels any doubts that the losses from the 15 Aug high (44.75p) are anything but corrective. This is all part of an a,b,c correction that started at the 45.25p recovery high (21 Jun) and looks to be the final stages (ie. the c-leg). It is possible that we have already seen the termination point of 'c' when we reached 37p last week. However, I cannot yet rule out a final push lower. Any further decline through 37p would be likely to test the 33.75p low (target 33.25p). However, things have been looking reasonable of late and hopefully we are now resuming the next stage of the up-trend (wave 3).

Hi all
Thanks for the updates Lnnzal.
Thanks to all the other regulars for your updates.
Unfortunatly DES fell bellow the rising support line on the 01/09/05. This then created a falling window on the 05/09/05. The market then decided to test the low of 0.3700p, this is where Lynnzal pointed out the hammer. The hammer is said to be hammering out the bottom of the down trend. The hammer also tested the long term trend line which is still intact, this line is off the low of about 0.0750p. Todays candle has bullish implications, but confirmation of this should be if DES closes up over todays close. DES has closed just above the 10 day moving average, which it has trading bellow for the past 11 days. Provided the support from the hammer holds DES should be ready to move up again. There may be some resistance at the falling window which is at 0.4200p. All beeing well DES should be on the move back up.

Glad your back Eddie and EEN looking interesting at moment.
I hope you did not spend to much on presents Eddie, there is no need and the heat wave has just broke on Sunday so back to colder weather but I hear we are in for a lot warm winter.

Great work on the charts keep it up.
However what we can't dismiss is a trading statement
is long overdue, this is bugging me at present.
Is there a rig or new partner.
If neither were are dead short term. Not withstanding if there is
positive news it will support a lot higher sp.
Anyone know when a trading statement is due.
All the best

Hi all
Thanks markymar, nice to see DES on Peaks rota.
Today was a day for the bears, very little buying. The candle that formed has bearish implications. The oil & gas sector went down, this may have had a knock on effect on DES. The gains we had yesterday, were all given back today. The close of today is at yesterdays open. The long term trend line is still intact, but may be tested again. The long term trend line is at the bottom of the hammer (0.3700p) that Lynnzal pointed out.

Thanks markymar, nice to see DES on Peaks rota.
Today was a day for the bears, very little buying. The candle that formed has bearish implications. The oil & gas sector went down, this may have had a knock on effect on DES. The gains we had yesterday, were all given back today. The close of today is at yesterdays open. The long term trend line is still intact, but may be tested again. The long term trend line is at the bottom of the hammer (0.3700p) that Lynnzal pointed out.

Hi all
Well DES went down again today, but has stopped just before the low (thin line under the hammer date 13/09/05). The low of the hammer is very close to the long term rising support line, support is still intact. Todays candle has bearish implications, tomorrow should confirm if the market is testing the support of the hammer & long rising support line or intends to take DES down further. There was also a gap down today which is also bearish. On the brighter side DES does look over sold. DES is at the bottom of the bolllinber bands, which is a good place to buy, the Bollinger bands have also opend up more. This means DES can have a better run up without looking over bought to soon.
I have tried to look back over the news to see if DES gave an interim announcement on 01/09/05, I didn't find any. Does any one know if there was one ? If there wasn't this may be having an effect on the share price. News of a rig & drilling programe would be nice.
