EnCore Oil PLC

Correct. The strangest things happen. I'm still holding for now.

this is probably my most boring share......even selling breagh has had a negative on sp.

ah well.....lets see in a years time by way things are looking with this company

this share is crap and probably most boring on the market

it really hasn't performed well at all .... i used to hold but now just keep it on my watchlist ..... the chart doesn't look pretty at all .... if it fall to 12 (200 dma), perhaps worth considering again

cant see it rising in short term either......oh dear! look at it in 12 months time probably

Still sitting in profit here, so I'll stick with it. ;-))

unless u put on millions then profit will be tiny.......and only those that bought in last 9 months or so.

its a crap share......and boring!

any tiny profit left will soon be gone as sp is heading back down to the pathetic depths of last 12 months.......only 13.5p now!

Still over 30% to the good with stop at breakeven. I'll stick with it for now, thanks. ;-)))))))

EnCore enlists Aberdeen-based consultant for revised project

UK junior EnCore Oil has appointed Helix RDS to provide an independent assessment of the viability of a revised plan to develop the Esmond gas storage project in the UK North Sea.

Star Energy, a Petronas subsidiary, withdrew from the proposed scheme earlier this year after results from a pressure test well showed reservoir behaviour to be more complex than initially modelled.

Despite EnCore's view that the storage project is still "technically viable with a different engineering solution", Star's withdrawal for economic and strategic reasons put paid to any further progress on front-end engineering and design work.

EnCore then assumed full control of the project in blocks 43/13a, 43/15a and 43/20a after acquiring Star's 50% stake in the asset.

"We have reworked possible development options on the project and have recently commissioned Helix RDS to provide an independent assessment of the technical viability of the project, which could then lead to further studies," said chief executive Alan Booth.

Booth said work is under way to redesign a development plan for Esmond to account for partial repressurisation of its lower reservoir.

Aberdeen-based Helix will peer review and, where necessary, refine the scheme.

Booth said EnCore hopes to carry out a detailed reservoir simulation study this summer, and, "assuming the results support our planned development scheme we will examine how we might achieve best value for our shareholders".

Chairman Mike Lynch added: "We are now at the stage where we have a project for which we need a new partner or a new owner in order for it to be progressed.

"We still firmly believe in the technical viability of the asset, but recognise that its value is dependent on others seeing the value, as we do, of this asset in a market which is crying out for gas storage."

Like the part,or new owner.

MMs seem to be absorbing sales at 14p. I wonder if they are accumulating stock so as to sell them at above 14p to Encore when the buyback programme starts. Every 1 million spent on buybacks would require MMs to 'find' say 6.5 million + shares.

Al any thoughts on the buy back price?

Not exactly the rise i was expecting,although it wasn't unknown. Still feel we'll see a steady re-rating?
imho
cyril

much better stocks to have in your portfolio

Well thats probably true when your looking for blue sky,but this is a safer
stock with reasonable chance of an upturn? Its prudent to hold such in ones portfolio. Along side such as AST,HMB,RXP,MXP,URU and XTR all which have made excellent progress lately.
CEY,CHL,DGO along with EO. to bring a little balence,awaiting for SKR to
come good?
cyril

you call EO a "proper" company?????
well i guess compared to some of that riff-raff you list above, EO is almost blue chip

You mean the RBS's etc,no thamks,several multi baggers in that lot as you didcribe them. Funny there i was thinking that doubling my money added up to doing o.k.
I'll have to go and see where i'm going wrong?lpl
cyril

nice one cyril....lol cynic, 40:30 to cyril

depneds when you truly bought and if you have actually banked ... in the latter case, almost certainly not at all ...... don't know CHL but CEY is a good company but taking a long time to go anywhere, and of course DGO is 52% held by ENOC which gives inherent problems with valuation

BB not into pont scoring,just to exchange views and info?
