Desire Petroleum

<>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

Latest Press Realeses from Desire

Marky and Capt thank you for keeping the board up to date. Clearly a sudden rush of news at the moment - a very encouraging sign that deals might be happening. Ann features again as a possible target in the Environmental survey so maybe it's not a typo after all, maybe they want to check out all the targets to the west first, closer to where REPSOL YPF and ENARSA have also made an announcement to drill but in Argentinian waters. Being long I am probably too optimistic but this does seem to be a lot of news at once. Hope it's no coincidence. Certainly RKH starting a 2D survey before the CSEM survey is finished seems strange unless there is a reason for the urgency.

I tend to agree Luckyswimmer, not about Ann though.

Another visit by MP's, I cannot remember when the last lot of UK. MP's went but it was not that long ago.

Even Phyll Rendell's mineral resources statement read to me as if it was more political than geological.

Hi all

Thanks to all for your input.

It looks like DES has just stopped for a breather. There has been a bit of selling preasure at 0.3400p, the support looks to be about 0.3000p. The 200 day moving average and the last gap down may just take a while for DES to pass through. I'm sure any good news will boost DES in the right direction.





Good Luck All

Looking good today!

Hi all

We can use the chart above. DES made a fantastic move today and has also closed above the 200 day moving average. This is giving very bullish implications. There is no shadow either, we do still have the gap down to deal with, but DES is looking very strong at the moment. DES was the 2nd highest mover by % in the oil & gas sector. There was a small mention in the AFX that Westmount still hold 5.5 million shares in DES.

Hi Eddie this was a post from another web site of a much respected person

Mug Punter - 19 Jan'06 - 16:56 - 27160 of 27175


Well from a pure TA perspective we have just broken out from a flag, which as most TA textbooks will tell you, is probably the most bullish chart pattern. Ideally of course confirmation of this breakout is required at Tomorrow's close.

TA theory now says the share price will now rise by the length of the flagpole or up another 10p.

Rather interestingly from a TA perspective this takes us up to some old resistance at 44 from June and August last year and from a fundamental perspective, tantalisingly close to the 45p fund raising level.

Flag patterns tend to develop over short time periods and on the basis of the recent flagpole formation in late December the target is now 44p within 3 weeks.

Of course in the event of any major positive rig and/or farm-out news then all bets are off.

Hi Marky
With all due respect charts seem to be running the show
at present as not much newsflow is coming through.
So why the price rise ?. just think about it for a while.
How could Des secure a rig without the enviromental impact report
being in place, we are not big enough to bully the knockers
the report has to be submitted and passed before we have the all clear
to sanction a rig. The next pivitol phase is now in progress and when
the report is given the all clear then i believe the green light will be given,
the market is already begining to react in anticipation.
Further concideration must be given to the politics - New Warship
to patrole the area is still being built.
May still take time but we are getting there.
All the best

OFFSHORE Hydrocarbon Mapping is carrying out an electromagnetic imaging survey for Rockhopper Exploration in the North Falkland basin the first survey of its type to be conducted around the remote Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic, writes Christopher Hopson.
The data acquisition programme is being conducted over a number of prospects in water depths of about 150 to 500 metres using the survey vessel MV Aurelia. The survey is likely to be keenly watched by the exploration industry, the Falkland Islands government and investors.

Hi all

Thanks to all for the updates.

After yesterdays hammer and a nice move up today, it looks like DES is about to go back up through the 200 day moving average. The 200 day moving average has just started to move up today. This is said to be a agreat great signal, if DES goes up through the 200 day moving average whils it is moving up also.

BUY
CONFIRMED

Looking very good Eddie chart wise and was good to see other explores in the Falklands all seem to have gone up today apart from BOR,lets hope the Buzz feeling carries on.

Hi all
YES , i`m still in ! Waiting for the day . Just like to say thanks to all regular posters who still have the faith . I don`t have any real input other than to thank you all , especially Eddie , Marky .
I was watching a programme called Superships the other night and it was about a ship called the Mighty Servant that can carry an oil rig on its platform . They sink the back of the ship and float the rig to within 12cm of error each side !! Then it takes about 8hrs to resurface the ship , bit like on a Sub ,to transport around the globe! Unbelievable ! The ship and rig are to big for the likes of the Suez canal so have to take the long route but i was surprised at the cost as it took nearly 2months to arrive in USA for only! 3 and half mill ! DES have got the dosh ! Get that rig guys
regards Berlingo

Page 4 + 5 are interesting, considering the pace politics move.

Where's eddieshare, on Hols??

Hi Bobbybingo and all

Been very busy at the mo

DES is looking great, just gone back up through the 200 day moving average. todays move has bullish implications. If you look at the cahrts you can see how long it has been since DES was above the 200 day moving average. Yes the 200 day moving average has droped, but this is likley to be seen as a good time to buy. Once we get the 10 and 20 DMA above the 200 DMA DES should be in for a much longer and consistant run. As you can see the 10 and 20 DMA are very close to the 200. A big rally cometh sooneth.





Good Luck All

Cheers for up date Eddie

Three MPs on a week Falklands visit

Three United Kingdom MPs will be visiting the Falkland Islands for a week in mid February in a familiarization tour. They will be accompanied by the Islands London Representative Sukey Cameron.

According to the official release the three guests are Dai Harvard, Labour MP for Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney; Daniel Kawczynski, Conservative MP for Shrewsbury & Atcham and Danny Alexander, Liberal Democrat MP for Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch & Strathspey and will be arriving in the Islands February 15 and leaving on the 22nd.
The full program includes meetings with Councillors, Governor Howard Pearce, government officials, private sector representatives, a day with the British military at Mount Pleasant Complex and a weekend visiting Camp establishments.

On their first day of activity, Thursday 16, the MPs will be briefed by local government officials, visit the Fisheries Department, (could include a tour of the patrol vessel Dorada), Chamber of Commerce, Department of Agriculture and Mineral Resources, plus an office call to Governor Pearce.

The following day will be spent at the Mount Pleasant Complex and in the evening the Governor and Mrs. Pearce will host dinner at Government House.

On the week end the MPs will be flown to Hill Cove and Pebble Island to meet with Camp Councillors and residents, returning Sunday mid afternoon for a battlefield tour.

Monday begins early with a flower wreath laying at the Liberation Monument followed by a briefing at the Education Department and a tour of the Community School to meet with senior pupils. At 18:30 Legislative Council members will receive the MPs in Gilbert House followed by dinner hosted at a local hotel.

Tuesday at 11:00 hours the delegation is scheduled to depart the Falkland Islands.

Mr Havard sits on the Wales Labour Party Joint Policy Committee and holds office as Secretary on the All-Party Mountain Rescue and Search Teams Group (2004 -). He is also a member of the Select Committee on Defence, a position he has held since 2003, and has recently departed the Commons Select Committee for Regulatory Reform where he was a Member from 2001-2005.

He travelled extensively abroad promoting British business and expresses a particular interest in Africa. Two years before his election he left the industry to concentrate on his Parliamentary Spokesman duties in Shrewsbury.

Prior to becoming an MP, Mr Alexander was Press Officer for the Scottish Liberal Democrats (1993-95) and then Director of Communications for the European Movement from 1996 to 1999 before being appointed Head of Communications for the cross-party Britain in Europe from 1999-2004.
