Another newcomer to the main market...anybody any idea what the production figures are ?

the story seems to be true, but it does rather feel like "Small earthquake in Chile; few injured" ..... though oil price is up a bit, it's hardly dramatic .... ditto the rise in gold, considering its recent retrenchment ..... and Dow has shrugged its shoulders

the "kids" in Iran are obviously trying to provoke a reaction to divert attention away from their internal problems, you really can't take this bunch of "gangsters" seriously.

This is looking quite good and I presume that an update is not far away.

Tremendous news on 2 fronts today !...why the sp knock down ?.

prob because the miran2 well extension will not be done until later this year, so immediate excitement is now over

the gov't approval of their sale is no news

Ridiculous drop....more oil than predicted plus 10000 barrels production per interval, deeper drilling for more discoveries plus Ugandan sale to be completed within 2 months and the stock slumps....I don't get it....

I would have put the sp up...not down on the future production figures...

XXXX&^%*(!)$$$---------minus,minus,minus...grrrrrr....dry well ?, no of course not : discovered more ! oh ! let's drop the sp then...makes sense....the world's gone nuts....

Check the broker notes. They reckon 5-6 months to finish drilling & re-evaluate.
Drop seems to be a knee jerk reaction to the 'recoverable reserves' figure, which understandably has been knocked back as they are NOT currently recoverable.
Sit tight rf. Should come good eventually, imo. Short term pain for long term gain!

500 would be a really good entry point

any thoughts on where this is going, do we think it will go to the next support level of 420 ?

likely especially when cynic thinks 500 is a good entry.

so it would have been if 200 dma had not failed so easily - along with the rest of the market :-))

420p getting more likely now.

special dividend between 75 -100p which appears positive, I took the rns as a positive statement and would have expected a moderate rise in sp but no takers it appears, any thoughts ?

made me interested... perhaps everyone else already hold??

is there an ex divi date for the special divi?

edit answered my own question. it is proposed to...

Been in for ages.....the trouble with dividends like this...aka..Amstrad gave one years ago, and then the stock dropped by more than the dividend which you have to pay taxes on...so...Heritage's sp will have to rise by a pound at least to keep me happy....if it remains at current levels and then goes ex-dividend with a diabolical drop : I will be cursing !...

From this week's Shares Mag (Tom Sieber):
"Shares in oil explorer Heritage Oil (HOIL) have slipped 22% since the group disappointed the market with results from an appraisal well on its Miran West discovery in Kurdistan, Northern Iraq (Apr 7). Since the report was inconclusive, and did not represent an outright failure, investors should use this as an opportunity to buy ahead of further activity in the country and exploration and appraisal drilling in Pakistan and Malta later this year.
The well in question, Miran West-2, will be drilled for a further four months to test deeper targets, after Heritage indicated it would be difficult to produce oil from shallower depths. The 1.3 billion market cap also plans to penetrate the neighbouring structure, Miran East, in the second half, and expects to get government approval for the $1.5 billion sale of its Ugandan assets before the end of June.
Shares says: Buy at 454.9p."

Is Hoil a buy and hold whilst below 4 seeing as the deeper drilling of the miran well should be completed in the next few months?
