Desire 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). Desire Petroleum

Long term plans for Falklands port development agreed.



At the 25th November meeting of the Falkland Islands Executive Council, agreement was reached on the long term focus of port development and port operations.


FIPASS - Stanley
Discussions on the development of port infrastructure have been underway for some time and at its recent meeting ExCo considered a paper reviewing the situation and making a number of recommendations on the way forward.
Reporting on the meeting, Governor Howard Pearce said that it had been agreed that the current floating dock, FIPASS (Falkland Islands Interim Port and Storage Facility) and adjoining land owned by the government should be the long term focus of port development and port operations.

It was also agreed that a Director of Port Operations should be recruited by the middle of next year to manage and develop the port on a commercial basis. It was envisaged that a Port Authority or similar body would be established in due course to represent the interests of the Falkland Islands Government and port users.

In the meantime, it was agreed by ExCo that funding should be provided for essential maintenance and repairs of FIPASS and that plans should be made for its phased replacement in the longer term. It was also decided that tenders should be invited for the management of FIPASS from the 1st September 2005.

cheers for that Eddie

Does anyone know why is it taking so long to get farm in contracts? Des has been working on these contracts for so long subject to the data and now the data has been analysed you'd think a contract would have been arranged by now. Anyone know anything or the timescales involved (I know I am very impatient! I have been holding these for years but what worries me also, and I may have misunderstood the Annual Report last time, but don't the rights over the field expire on a certain date which isn't far off?)

robstuff, if the rights on the field expire we better get some more shares, cose the real jump will happen when the contract is announced, if that is on a timer, the negotiations will be frantic,

Hi all

Well it's always disapointing when your stock goes down. The good news is applying fibanacci retacment to DES With an all time low of 0.064p & the recent high of 0.695p. The support level is at 0.45p. The resistance level is at 0.54p. After the 0.54p level, the next resistance is 0.70p. So we just need to go over the 0.54 / 0.55p level. DES will then sail the extra 0.15p, which will then set up new support area at 0.70p.

Good Luck All

Eddie

Repsol-YPF surveying Malvinas Basin.



Repsol-YPF CEO Antonio Brufau revealed Thursday in Buenos Aires that the company is involved in seismic surveying in the Malvinas Basin, a geological high risk operation, but if successful will mean the incorporation of a new oil province for Argentina.


CEO Mr. A. Brufau
During the launching of the 2005 Argentine Tourism Guide sponsored by the Spanish oil consortium Mr. Brufau said that Argentina was far more than a market; Repsol-YPF has a strong and sincere commitment with investments of a billion US dollars annually until 2007.
Were engaged in an ambitious petroleum exploration plan in several basins, including the south seas with a seismic vessel surveying the Malvinas basin, a high risk geological project which if successful could mean the incorporation of a new basin, something that hasnt happened in Argentina for decades, underlined Mr. Brufau.

Repsol-YPF CEO also recalled that the company was Argentinas main investor, main tax payer, main exporter and one of the leading employers in the country.

Our long term alliance with Argentina means 75% of investments are targeted for exploration and production; 20% for refinery improvements and 5% in the chemical industry, added Mr. Brufau.
We are therefore very alert and perceptive to all opportunities and growth needs as well as improvements registered in the countrys performance.

Further on Mr. Brufau said that the company so far this year had paid national and provincial taxes equivalent to 3,9 billion US dollars, 70% over 2003.
Repsol-YPF will have exported at the end of the year, 2,7 billion US dollars in oil products processed in local refineries with Argentine labour and Argentine know-how.

Finally Mr. Brufau said he was surprised with the insistence of a few people who keep asking him if he has confidence in Argentina.
Why shouldnt I? Argentina is a country full of possibilities and our company is closely linked to its progress.
