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 !"

Might be worth watching on line buy/sell limits, SEYP now up to 28p bid, L2 4 v 1 @ 28/33

Limits changed

Buy 3.75k @ 33.76p
Sell 10k @ 31.36p

Looks like we've turned the corner.

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 :)

It has been a good day, papalpower ... I agree...the shorters are in a fix now... crucify them!

At last some good movement as I bought these at 58p and 62p. I've been in a sea of red for over 3 weeks now but I've kept the faith. At least my DVS has cheered me up Friday.

Technotamed........."sea of red".....mines an ocean of red !!!This share,along with SEO is murdering me,but like you,I will continue to keep the faith.

Technotamed......in fact,SEO/ACC/CHP and TAG all read miserably for me.My only saver is ZYT !!!

25K buy at 40p today...............what was that all about ?? :)

Rising 2 days in a row...........somethings up ;)

L2 is 4 v 2 @31/37

Wonder how the acquisition of Petroleos del Monte will affect the price ?

Wonder how the acquisition of Petroleos del Monte will affect the price ?

Long term will be positive :)

Good news today, lets have another 6 months of good news :)

On line limits 3K buy and 25K sell, so pretty strong at the moment in those terms.

A nice read :

ANNUAL REVIEW AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

Taghmen Energy Plc ('Taghmen' or the 'Company'), an independent oil and gas
exploration, development and production company, focused on Latin America, is
pleased to announce its financial results for the eighteen months ended 31st
December, 2005 and to provide a review of its operations to date. This
represents the Company's first full reporting period.

Since commencing operations in late 2004, the Company has moved from holding one licence in Guatemala to having established operations in both Colombia and
Guatemala, holding interests in three Colombian producing fields providing 500
barrels of oil per day ('bopd'), five exploration licences in Colombia and two
licences in Guatemala. This portfolio of assets provides the Company with
current production, immediate revenue and significant potential from further
developments within the producing fields and a wide spread of exploration.

Key Achievements

Acquired and established a total reserve base amounting to proved,
probable and possible reserves of approximately 40 million barrels plus an
estimated further approximate 90 million barrels of potential from
exploration licences.

Colombia
Closed first stage of acquisition of Petroleos del Norte S.A, providing
both current production and revenue from two licences, three technical
evaluation licences and ownership of the Rio Zulia- Ayucucho Pipeline.
Acquired two exploration licences in the Middle Magdalena Valley in
Colombia.

Guatemala
Established operations in Guatemala.
Completed the work-over of two existing wells and drilled our first
exploration well.
Reconfirmed the presence of oil in the Las Casas structure within licence
6-93 in Guatemala.
Obtained licence A7-2005(Tortugas/Atzam) in Guatemala.

Financial
Completed a 15 million fund raising.

Financial Results
Recorded a loss of US $6.5 million for the 18 months to 31st December,
2005
Within the loss approximately US $2.7 million related to non cash items,
primarily related to items created at the time of formation and floatation
of the Company

Commenting Nicholas Gay, President and CEO, said:

'The Company has come along way since it was formed. Today we have some very
exciting oil and gas assets, a solid revenue stream from both production and a
commercial pipeline and an established operating platform in both Colombia and
Guatemala.'

Name Change

The Company proposes changing its name from Taghmen Energy Plc to PetroLatina
Energy Plc, to provide a clearer understanding of what it does and where its
focus is centred. This change is subject to approval by shareholders. To achieve this, an extraordinary general meeting has been called for 20th July, 2006.

Annual Report

The Annual Report will be sent to shareholders on 27th June, 2006. A copy will

PapalPower - 26 Jun'06 - 09:41 - 2560 of 2560

stephenwilson I will answer your question and the others in one hit.

TAG's original work programme was to workver 1X and 2X and drill 3X.

They worked over 1X (not in use for many years) but found the initial casing so bad that it was decided to do a sidetrack (which is being done now). From original estimates therefore 1X workover was a failure (as it required a new sidetrack)

They worked over 2X (not in use for many years) but again it was in bad shape, and the decision was to scrap the well (possible use of it for water injection - eg you push the water from the other wells (1X) back into the ground to push more oil/water mix into the other well bore 1X). So in terms of original estimate 2X workover was a failure.

3X was drilled, found oil, but due to the poor original seismic the drill has seen plenty of troubles HOWEVER, from todays news the paragraph says "Late in the year, drilling of Well 3X was completed after encountering
hydrocarbons and the subsequent long term testing of the well has indicated that this well can be produced economically." So this well is a success, but not one thats been trouble free.

Therefore, with 2 failed workovers and a long time coming successful 3X drill news, lots of people will be waiting for 1XA sidetrack for a confidence building success.................this will help boost the reputation of the company and people and should lead to renewed interest.

TAG is a producer now, with 500 bopd, with a tariff generating pipeline that will grow in terms of revenue this year and the years ahead, and who has a very active drilling programme.

Its not got the blue sky jam tomorrow ramp ratio that others have, and so while those rampable blue sky jam tomorrow oilers will fly when they have not even found commercial oil or gas, let alone are within sight of commercial production, TAG will simply grow and grow, slowely and surely, as more and more production comes on line. Their "conservative" target at present is 3500bopd by end of 2007, and needless to say if they get this the price will be nowhere near where it is now. Now its 500bopd + pipeline tariff, so only 18 months until we are at 3500bopd + pipeline tariff.

Today looks like Third Point sold out 100K on an X trade, and 125K in the open market (25K T at 29p then 50K T at 28.5 and then 50K T at 27p)

Thats reduced them down another 225K anyway.

.

Its not Third Point. The honesty and integrity of a poster at AFN "strow" has let us know that he has closed now all his long spread bets, noting that spread betting is not a good thing and its easy to get yourself into a position where the margin can hurt you badly. The MM's have hammered the price down as he has been closing over recent days, and he finished closing today.

I think a number of stocks are still getting hit by SB closing (he also said the falls on LEAD were due to his long SB closing there as well, as he has closed all SB's and will never be SB again)

At least for TAG we know what has caused the falls of recent days now.
