Company Profile
Taghmen Energy is an independent oil and gas exploration, development and production company which listed on Londons AIM market in January 2005. It is focused on Latin America and has assembled a group of assets in Central America.
Key Points:
Exploration focus is shifting to new hydrocarbon destinations.
Maturing fields in traditional oil producing regions such as the Persian Gulf and the North Sea have prompted companies to seek alternative destinations for hydrocarbon reserves. As a result, there has been a notable increase in exploration activity amongst the former Soviet Union, Latin/Central America and West Africa regions due to their under-exploited reserves. Much of future oil and gas production is expected to come from these emerging hydrocarbon regions.
... and to the development of smaller fields
With the notable exception of those in the former Soviet Union, new regions however offer relatively smaller fields. Their economics make them distinctly attractive for smaller companies but unattractive for the majors. This has prompted larger companies to focus on production, leaving exploration and development of hydrocarbon reserves with smaller companies. Taghmen characterises these emerging exploration trends in the oil and gas sector.
Corporate strategy entails both exploration and production
What is unique with Taghmen is its intent to be engaged in subsequent production as well. Most exploration companies seek to exit upon the prove-up of their reserves through an asset sale to a larger company. Taghmens intent to be a company maker makes it more selective in licence acquisition. It also offers more comfort regarding the reserve potential of its licence areas.
... and is en route to be implemented through an acquisition
Taghmen is in the process of finalizing the acquisition of Petroleos del Norte S.A. (PDN), a Colombian company that operates three fields close to Taghmens licence areas. The proposed acquisition would provide Taghmen with a larger exploration reserve base, a pipeline infrastructure and some producing assets. This reiterates Taghmens commitment to be a producing company rather than a pure exploration play.
High energy prices underpin the profitability of exploration
Rising demand for energy from fast growing economies such as China and the uncertainty in key oil producing regions are likely to keep world energy prices high. This has reduced the risk profile of exploration projects considerably. Current oil prices make even smaller fields financially viable.
Latin/Central American governments are keen to develop their reserves
As the energy needs of these countries mount, the need to develop their hydrocarbon resources has gained eloquence. Governments are keenly seeking foreign investment and have adopted several policy decisions to attract them to their respective countries. Colombia and Guatemala are no exceptions. Taghmen benefits from these developments

Research report (12th May 2006) on TAG in the link below :
Here is the comment from Nick Gay -
"please find a research report prepared by objective capital on taghmen.This covers our existing asset base,but does not take into account any impact of the PDN acquisition.Objective capital has also applied its own conservative geological risk factors to the various prospects.Having done this,they calculate a value for the assets of $84.3 million,well in excess of the current stock market valuation.Removing their risk factors indicates a value of $746.7 million.We obviously have a lot to play for !"

OPERATIONS UPDATE, JUNE 2006
Taghmen Energy Plc ("Taghmen" or the "Company") an independent oil and gas exploration, development and production company, focused on Latin America, is
pleased to provide the following operational update on its operations in Guatemala.
Well 1XA
Operations on well 1XA commenced in late May, 2006. The sidetrack was successfully kicked off at a depth of 5,810 feet. The total depth is planned to be at approximately 10,000 feet and the sidetrack is expected to take 35 days to drill.
Huapac 2X
The bottom hole location for the planned Huapac 2X well has been selected, based on the interpretation of the 2D seismic survey shot earlier this year.
A drilling pad will be constructed whilst the well 1XA is drilling. Huapac 2X is expected to spud in late July 2006.
Licence 7-05 (Tortugas/Atzam)
Negotiations with the Ministry of the Environment are ongoing to approve the environmental impact assessment. Technical approval has been granted by the
Ministry of Mines and Energy to convert the planned 3D seismic shoot to a 2D shoot. Taghmen believes, based on its understanding of the current status of Government approvals, the Tortugas/Atzam seismic acquisition and the first of the three well work overs will commence in late June 2006.

An interesting post from Arturo at AFN, if the theory is right and if TAG do go debt for PDN and not equity issue, then there will be some very interesting times ahead, not company wise, but of the backroom consortium type trying to wiggle their way out of what they have made, without losing a load of money from short selling and crashing the price.... Who knows... DYOR !

@ all
I had a quick look through the share history of TAG.L - quite interesting to see that we don't encounter such 0.0001$-shares issued to some ruthless initiators like we see sometimes at the OTC or AIM. All shares were issued above the current share price regardless if deemed or cash prices; 0.65$ = 0.35 GBp was the lowest price. We have 83,641,922 o/s as of today and - more important
- 2,888,889 warrants @ 0.65 US$ (0.35 GBp)
- 29,217,466 warrants @ 0.90 US$ (0.48 GBp)
outstanding that might get converted till 31/7/2006.
If I were a small and clever institutional buyer and I'm convinced of TAG.L, I would form an alliance with another two or three as small and as clever institutions in order to 'kill' those warrants. Probably it was the intention of TAG.L to use the proceeds of the potential warrant conversion to (partly) finance the latest take-over. The conversion would provide up to 28m US$ (15m GBp) for the company's treasury.
But what's happening if there is no incentive for such conversion? writiwrite -TAG would need to collect monies through another PP that is priced closely to the current share price. Now our cunning consortium will enter the scene and will rebuy the shares it already sold in order to sink the shareprice at a resonable discount.
My opinion - your choice !

Its blue BUT I would say ignore it........SEYP have not moved and are still 27/33
The others are just messing around, up on good days and down on bad, they will probably all now drop again Monday to make TAG red.......
I would say, when you see SEYP move, take notice, until then SCAP/WINS/CANA all just playing games
The bid has been 27p for so long now, but the chart going up and down is purely these jokers messing with the offer price........all they can do is move it up and down in the range locked by SEYP.

250K Protected buy at 30.5p has taken some of the overhang, but SEYP still on 27/33, so should be overhang still there.
Still say it, watch SEYP for any movement, today, no movement from them.

I think its been leaked that the PDN deal will be debt funded, the shorters are now in a panic as they cannot get the shorts covered by new equity at low prices :)
Good, burn them :)
