In my last post about why the price has gone up there was this little gem in it.
Houston, being the centre of the
American oil industry, did not disappoint, and
contact was made with licensees and companies
already considering investing in the area.
Phipps has all ready said they are off to Dallas on the 18th April to the AAPG convention and do you remeber the interview with the wallstreet reporter in America i could not understand this Americian connection.Then there was this bit from rigzone.
As Desire Petroleum gets under way with its latest seismic survey of the North Falklands Basin, Pan American Energy has acquired interests in the neighboring Malvinas Basin offshore Tierra del Fuego, in other words, Argentine waters.
Pan American has picked up 35% interests in blocks 40 and 46 operated by Repsol-YPF. Total, which has a 31% stake in block 46, has apparently ordered a seismic campaign across both blocks (aggregate area 6,500sq km) with a view to exploration drilling starting next year.
The hidden twist to this is that it would put BP in the South Atlantic as it is a 60% stakeholder in Pan American Energy, with Argentinean corporation Bridas holding the balance of ownership.
Whether this campaign can in any way be made to link with Desire's aspirations to restart drilling in Falklands waters is open to question, though it will perhaps be investigated. BP's indirect involvement could prove important in this regard. The super-major did not participate in the Falklands drilling campaign of 1997-98 as its priorities lay elsewhere at that time. The Tierra del Fuego maneuver begs the question as to what BP might do next in the South Atlantic
So my way of thinking here is that we can rule out Lundin or Talisman for now , but i feel pretty strongly that are new Farm in partner will be Pan American Energy and BP own 60% of them . Now with the Pan working on the Argentina side this would be ideal for us as rigs would be there and the sevices.
Also way back there was meetings with uk and Argentina been trying to find the post but not found it yet but they had discusions about the oil and it was suggested that a pipeline from the Falklands to Argentinia was a posibility but all talk of this pipeline would cost millions so you need a world major oil company hence you have BP .
If there is upto 110 billion barrels of oil then you would then put the likes of the Falklands the 3 rd richest oil provence in the world the likes of kuwait has reseves of 97 billion,Iran have 115 billion and no 1 is the saudis with 236 billion.
So my conclusion of all this is that this share price has just started to move and some more news or rumours will start to come out this share price will rocket there not a share like it you can only dream what this share might do.
Good luck all who hold shares and if you dont hold any buy some its the best ride on a rollercoaster you can have.

Shares should still have a massive rerating, news on the full survey soon and if it is the right type of oil (they alrady know it exists!), this share will be multpiles of it's current value!

Quite right, I think this is one of the best long term shares around. With oil prices rising and reserves dwindling, DES would be very attractive to all and sundry, especially if you've just over quoted your reserves and need a cheap way to build them up again. Just to confirm, there is oil down there, if it hard capped then it's the North Sea all over again and for Des' market cap!!!

I hold some shares in Westmount Energy (WTE). Posted their interims yesterday and this in an excerpt from them (just for interest - if any!!!):-
Desire Petroleum plc
The Group presently owns 5,500,000 shares of AIM quoted Desire Petroleum plc
("Desire"). Following the recent Placing and Open Offer of new shares by Desire
to raise 5 million to be utilised principally in carrying out a 3D-seismic
survey over certain areas of the North Falkland Basin, this shareholding
represents approximately 3.38% of Desire's issued share capital at a carrying
cost of approximately 9.4p for each Desire share held.
The shareholding provides the Group with a continuing interest in Desire's
exploration offshore the Falkland Islands. Desire reported on 7 January 2004
that Fugro Geoteam A/S had been contracted to conduct a 3D-seismic survey for
Desire over Tranches C and D in the North Falkland Basin. The survey has been
defined to refine the definition of what are currently considered to be the
three largest, potentially-oil-bearing, prospects in the North Falkland Basin.
On 1 March 2004 Desire reported that approximately 40% of the 3D-seismic survey
had been completed and the first, unprocessed seismic lines had been received in
the UK. Data quality was high and once the survey had been completed, it was
expected that data processing would take about four months, at which time
detailed interpretation can begin. This will not be available until later in the
year but Desire has reported the initial results are already encouraging
