Desire Petroleum are drilling in Falklands (DES)     

markymar - 03 Dec 2003 11:36

free hit countersDesire 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).

HARRYCAT - 22 Oct 2008 09:09 - 3021 of 6492

Opec cuts output by 1.5m bpd
News wires

Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali Naimi has announced that Opec will cut its oil output by 1.5 million barrels per day with effect from 1 November, a decision the International Energy Agency has dismissed as "unhelpful" and the White House has branded "anti-market".


He said Opec needed to see the effect of its decision on the oil market before considering any further possible cuts, a Reuters report said.

Naimi, speaking after a meeting which lasted less than two hours, said the cut will help stabilise the oil market.

"The decision was straightforward," Naimi told reporters.

He hoped the decision will help alleviate economic instability but stressed Opec should not be associated with the financial crisis.

"Don't put Opec with the financial crisis," Naimi said, adding that record high oil prices in July this year were the result of speculative trade on futures markets.

He declined to be drawn on commenting on a suitable price for crude.

Naimi also said Opec could meet more frequently to review production.

"We're prepared to meet more often to stabilise the market," he said, adding Opec would do "whatever it takes".

Opec president Chakib Khelil told a press conference the group could take further action if needed before its next scheduled meeting, due to be held in the Algerian city of Oran in December.

"If a further decision has to be made, it will be made and we will not necessarily wait for the Oran meeting," Khelil told a press conference.

The United Arab Emirates Oil Minister Mohammed al-Hamli said that the decision to cut output was unanimous, adding he believed it was a positive move and would help to restore balance to oil markets and stability to the world economy.

Meanwhile, the IEA said the cut was "unhelpful" and comes in the context of main oil consuming countries facing a sharp recession.

"It's not a helpful decision because markets are quite nervous," Eduardo Lopez, senior analyst at the oil market division, told Reuters. "The size of the cut is too big," he added.

The White House also criticised the decision.

"It has always been our view that the value of commodities, including oil, should be determined in open, competitive markets, and not by these kinds of anti-market production decisions," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said.

The US has been concerned about high oil prices which have contributed to a slowing economy.

U.S. CRUDE FUTURES SETTLE AT $64.15/BBL, DOWN $3.69, 5.44 PERCENT


- U.S. CRUDE FUTURES SETTLE AT $64.15/BBL, DOWN $3.69, 5.44 PERCENT, LOWEST SINCE SETTLEMENT MAY 31, 2007

peterpan2 - 24 Oct 2008 21:31 - 3033 of 6492

And it has seen a 61.8% retracement from the all time high for those interested in Fibonnacci retracements.

Not Hlyeo98 - only headline grabbing pronouncements from the likes of IC.

If you think oil is going substantially lower - think gain. These guys will do whatever it takes and the US is all out of chips to influence them. Military threats would have the opposite effect and might suit Iran, who are hurting and may quite like to effectively close the Straights of Hormuz.

★★★★★ Strong Buy also Rockhopper

geoffsh - 30 Oct 2008 22:07 - 3037 of 6492

I bought shares in Desire in 1998, since then I have bought more at various prices.The potential is huge and it is well worth buying more at these prices but if you want a bit of excitement now I recommend that you look at Pantheon Resources [panr] they have no debts,are producing oil,are going to be involved in the drilling of another two wells in the coming months in what is expected to become one of the largest oil finds in south Lousianna in recent years.The first well on the Austin Chalks which they are also involved in is due to be spudded very soon. They were very unlucky with the timing of the initial flow results from Bullseye which came out on the Monday evrything went down. They are only capitalised at 7m. and the ceo is Jay Cheatham who used to be on the board at Arco.

Desire announced on the 14 August that it had signed an agreement with Arcadia Petroleum
Ltd whereby Arcadia will drill two wells in the

granted Desire and Arcadia new acreage adjacent to
Desire's existing acreage in Tranche 1.

In addition Desire has sufficient resources of its own to drill two additional wells in

signs that the rig market is softening and they
are hopeful that subject to engaging a rig, drilling could commence in the first quarter 2009.Desire have confirmed that the drilling
opportunity is economically compelling even in the current oil price environment.
