This is huge get in before the heard arrives to work this morning, the new VOG

Must be the first one I've got right for the last 18 months. Any idea if the company buying fep are trading anywhere?

What a disaster this has turned out to be.They were on the verge of being awarded the sc on GSEC101 which would have sent the sp 100p+ .But now this so they might as well not even bother about announcing GALOC next week or the sc if it ever happens ! Looks like Game Over for shareholders who will be sent packing with a flea in their ears and 48p for every share.
Very dissapointing to say the least.

Delay of at least a week due to Typhoon damage to retrievable cable.

Further delay, no production until August?
Update can be got from NDO's news on the ASX.

Forum Energy Plc

('Forum' or the 'Company')




Response to Rule 2.5 announcement




The board of Forum (the 'Board') notes the announcement made earlier today by Philex Petroleum Corporation ('PPC') setting out the terms of a cash offer (the 'Offer') to be made by PPC to acquire all of the issued and to be issued ordinary shares of the Company which are not already owned or otherwise contracted to be acquired by PPC or any of its associates. The Offer, which values each ordinary share of Forum at 48p and Forum's entire issued share capital at approximately 13.8 million, is being made solely because PPC is required to do so under the rules of the Takeover Code following its acquisition of 4,004,000 ordinary shares of Forum on 1 July 2008.




The Board will consider the offer document once it is posted by PPC and will respond to the Offer in due course.




At this time the Board advises Forum's shareholders to take no action regarding the Offer until they have had the opportunity to consider the Board's response to the Offer. This response will be sent to Forum's shareholders following the posting of PPC's offer document.




Further announcements will be made as appropriate.

are all you holders of fep accepting the offer of .48 pence per share on this offer or not? I have until the 15th aug to accept or not. I am on a loss with this one. Before the offer the share were only worth over .20p. lets here your opions on this one.

Janet the directors sat on the fence on this one,so not really much one can say,
myself i sold out as i felt its a bit a bird in the hand issue?
Suggest you read the RNS throughly before deciding.

http://www.investegate.co.uk/article.aspx?id=200808061630008013A

From that RNS and is the big issue, need to consider why they offered double the SP,its about risk reward so best of luck but it has to be your decision.

the GSEC101 licence is converted into a service contract there could be a significant uplift in the value of Forum Energy, although there can be no guarantee that this value will accrue to Forum Energy Shareholders to whom the Offer is being made. Negotiations with the Department of Energy to convert the GSEC101 licence into a service contract have reached a critical stage. On 4 August 2008, Forum Energy was notified in writing by the Department of Energy that the service contract to be entered into under the GSEC101 licence is in its final draft and that it is planned that formal signing of the service contract will take place in the third week of August 2008.

Double post,seem to be getting a few blips with the computor..

Gaffney Cline and Associates (GCA) have completed their independent
review of the Galoc oil field, updating the reserves certification with the
information obtained during the development drilling and well testing.

This review has resulted in a material uplift across all three categories
of reserves -- proved, probable and possible. Reserves at the "proved" level,
which represents the 90% confidence level, have increased by 64% which
provides confidence in a stronger, longer-term production profile for the
field.
Ms. Joanne Williams, Nido's Deputy Managing Director said, "The data
acquired during the drilling of the pilot well and the two horizontal
production wells were very encouraging and we are now very pleased that GCA
has confirmed our expectations of the Galoc oil field's productive potential.
Not only has the low side moved significantly closer to the previous 2P best
estimate of the potential in the Galoc 3 and Galoc 4 areas, but the increase
in the 3P reserves (which is included in the Phase 2 development) has
highlighted the upside potential of the field available through further
drilling."

The petroleum fiscal regime in the Philippines is one of the best in Asia
offering a favourable contractor take and numerous other fiscal incentives.
Given that the Galoc oil field development has a large cost recovery pool the
resulting production will realise very high profitability metrics per barrel
of oil produced, which will be among the highest in the industry.

Nido's Chief Executive Officer, Mr Jocot de Dios said, "When it comes to
value and cashflow, no barrel of oil reserves is the same as any other --
there is more "bang" for the reserves "buck" in the Philippines and this is
one of the reasons why Nido chose to focus its interests here. Galoc is
expected to pay back Nido's investment in only a few months, and especially
in the following 12 to 24 months, the cashflow returns from Galoc will be
substantive."

Overview



The Company's principal asset is a 70% interest in Service Contract 72 (SC72), formerly GSEC101, an 8,800-square kilometre offshore petroleum licence situated west of Palawan Island in the South China Sea.



In 2006, results from a 248-square kilometre 3D seismic survey over the licence area indicated mean 3.4 Trillion Cubic Feet (TCF) gas-in-place (GIP) with significant upside potential.



During 2008, Philex Mining Corporation, a company listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange, acquired an effective 61.44% controlling stake (held directly and indirectly) in the Company through a tender offer for all shares at 48 pence per share. An additional fundraising in November 2009 of 1.5 million (approximately US$2.4 million) at 50p has increased Philex Mining Corporation's stake (held directly and indirectly) to 62.59%.



On 15 February 2010, GSEC101 was converted to SC72 by the Philippine Department of Energy.





CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S STATEMENT



Forum Energy has made significant progress with the recent award of SC 72 (formerly GSEC101). Having worked for over three years on the conversion of GSEC101 to a Service Contract, this award paves the way to the delivery of material value to Forum Energy's shareholders with the exploitation of a potentially world class gas deposit. Forum will announce its future plans regarding further appraisal of SC72 shortly. It is the Company's intention to commence further appraisal work, without delay.



In 2009, Forum Energy recorded a gross profit of US$0.2 million in the year ended
31 December 2009 compared to a loss of US$0.3 million for the previous year due to the commencement of production revenues from Galoc and the increase in oil prices during 2009. Revenues increased by 153% to US$1.8 million, G&A costs reduced by 41% to US$2.6 million, and net cash and cash equivalents increased to US$4.1 million. The Company finalized the streamlining of its non-core coal assets successfully through the sale of its last coal concession.

OilVoice Morning Mover - Forum Energy

Forum Energy (LON:FEP, 168.50, ▲ 68.50%) is this mornings winner, pushing +68.50% towards 165p by 12:30GMT.

The company had reported findings of 4.6 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas and 115 million barrels of oil and liquids at the Sampaguita Gas Field in Recto Bank.

'The Weatherford Report shows an improvement in the resources previously known and supports the case to proceed with the drilling programme,' said Forum Energy chair Robin Nicholson.

The UK based gas & oil E&P company mentions that the amount of gas found is 24 percent higher than the findings confirmed in 2006.

Forum Energy has said the report would be shown to the board later this week.
