GOLD OIL, the London-based oil exploration company focused on the South American and Caribbean region, announces that in late December 2005, the Company received an Operator Certificate from PeruPetro that allows the Company to carry out seismic, drilling and development operations in Northwest Peru.
The Promotion Licence signed with PeruPetro on October 15, 2004 with PeruPetro for Block XI (now renamed Block XXI) onshore Sechura Basin has been converted to an Exploration and Production Licence. The Licence now goes to the Ministry of Energy and Mines for approval, which could be forthcoming anytime between February and May of this year 2006.
The terms of the E&P Licence commit the Company to either shoot 120 km of 2D seismic or drill a well in the first period of five over a seven year term. The remaining four periods require the Company to either drill a well or drop the acreage. The Licence is for a term of 30 years for oil and 40 years for gas, with a minimum royalty of 5% on wellhead production for the first 5000bopd (30 MMscfd for gas) rising to 20% if and when production reaches 100,000 bopd (600 MMscfd for gas).

Times Article:
Gold Oil is valued in the market at about �15m. That is so small that almost any good news must have a big impact on the share price.
What are the chances of that happening? Run by a former Burmah Oil director, Mike Burchell, Gold Oil will drill the first in a series of wells in the Sechura Basin in April. There will be surprise if it does not find gas, as another company, Olympic, has done just that in a similar formation nearby.
The secondary target, later in the year, will be oil, I gather. A couple of months ago, Petro Tech made a big oil find offshore in the Sechura Basin. The theory is the oil may have migrated up into Gold Oil�s block. Don�t ask me to explain the geology because I don�t speak Palaeozoic. But a decent oil find here would be a company-maker.
Gold Oil has enough cash to fund this year�s drilling programme. And it already has a deal in place to sell its gas to Mann Ferrostaal, a German company that is building an ammonia plant nearby. Getting all that for �15m seemed a bargain to me. But Gold Oil still has to find its gas.

curious upward moves by sp on what looks like minimal volume ..... if someone has L2, they can prob see if there is a large order lurking to be filled ...... if not, and as no RNS, perhaps just a little bear squeeze, but i can't imagine that there is that much stock borrowed to influence.

Blue again three days running now,some very confident buyers out there.

the first part is indisputable, but not the second! ....... currently <2m traded which only equates to a pathetic 160k ...... hardly big beer in any respect

Is it not an improvement of late??

any increase in sp is an improvement in this horrid little worm of a stock, which i also foolishly hold!

Oi, you foolish old Cynic, bought back in recently and amazingly in profit, so leave the little worm alone. Could quite easily scoot back to 16p on bugger all news and a half assed rumour :)

pth

Horrid little worm!!!
Isn't oil made from the ancestors of these horrid little fellas?
Plus, where would we be without them? Gardens, agriculture etc etc?
Also, isn't there one in a particular south american bottled beer???
Even the Two Ronnies paid homage to them (The worm that turned)!
I'll stop ranting now.

Still holding GOO. Have filed it away under 'Possible gusher'.

harry ..... no; oil is made from herbiage what worms eat!

pete ...... as you said, all seemingly driven by rubbish n hype, though Mr P holds an obscene amount officially, and allegedly even more in nominees

all in nominees. i would if i were he.

most if not all may well be by way of CFD

Good finish.

The Times heaven & hell section

hardly a recommendation to buy

he tipped it and still has the stock in his portfolio. -
