Anyone else holding this and what are other peoples opinions on it?

Thanks

Emerald is on the move!

Oil prices climb with all eyes on OPEC

LONDON, (AFP) - World oil prices climbed on strong buying after traders said too much stock had been sold ahead of OPEC's meeting later in the week.

New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in July, rose 51 cents to 54.10 dollars per barrel in early deals after striking as high as 54.60 dollars.

In London, the price of Brent North Sea crude oil for delivery in July climbed 47 cents to 53.14 dollars per barrel after hitting 53.72 dollars.

There has been a report over the weekend in the Times or Telegraph that the team at Shell who draw up the scenarios used as the basis for in-house planning have come to the view that we will have high priced oil for the next 20 years. The consensus view of analysts and the majors has previously been that the current high oil price is a short term blip which will subside in a few years time. The CEO of BP recently said that oil supply would increase in 4 or 5 years and that the oil price would fall as a result.

If you expect crude prices to fall in a few years then when you work out the value of an oil field or an entire company, you don't use today's oil price, you use the price you expect to prevail when production actually occurs - and that has been much lower than the current spot price.

Now, Shell has broken ranks and has said that high oil prices are here to stay. That means that valuations of companies such as Dana and Burren and others should be based not on the idea that prices will fall in a year or 2 or 3 back to $30-$35 but that they will remain at $40-$45 or above for the next 20 years.

This makes a huge difference to the implied value of the companies concerned. Remember that their value is not proportional to crude prices - every extra dollar is an extra dollar of profit. The effect of an increase in assumed oil prices is a significant increase in valuations.

For AIM listed companies which are all future prospects and no current production - Hardman for example - the recent scandals and shindigs on AIM have left investor confidence rather shaken. However, for companies with both production AND exploration and main market listings - Burren and Dana, fall into this category - sentiment is strong and share prices will be boosted to reflect the new level of expectation on the long term price of crude.

This sentiment will also affect Emerald.

Emerald Energy are listed on the main LSE exchange thy are not a AIM stock

Emerald will have Produced 1,500,000 barrels of oil by end of December 2005

but as always dyor

I belive the current price to very under valued we just need some decent PR to get the company in investors eyes.

copy of my post on Advfn

The above are work out on company average figures apart from Vigia#2#3 which I have put in @ 750bopd thy could be more or less but more likely to be more imho

But as always dyor

End of December 2004 production 484,000 barrels

And this total will be 3,000,000barrels plus end of December 2006

Crude holds above $59 a barrel level

NEW YORK (AFX) -- Crude-oil futures opened lower on the New York Mercantile
Exchange Tuesday, although it held above the $59 a barrel level, on continued
concerns that demand in the second half of the year will outstrip refiners'
ability to supply. The contract for July delivery, which expires at the close of
trade today, was last trading down 32 cents, or 0.5%, at $59.05 a barrel. The
August contract, which becomes the front month contract on Wednesday, was down
33 cents, or 0.6% at $59.55 a barrel.

Looks like a strong close!

expect this july update to take it above 200p and if they up the reserves based on the viagra field could see some more gains hang on tight

EEN issued a trading update around this time last year. If it comes then we can expect a highly bullish statement. The price of crude has never been higher and with EENs production going up and up, this could be a golden opportunity to buy.

25/06/04 12:38 Emerald Energy PLC (EEN) Trading Update RNS

Gervis2, Agree with you about news update,Vigia2 was only 1000ft from completion
back end of May. Sometime in the very near future the result is expected
(proven field, so proablabilty of success very high).Along with completion of rework to Campo Rico wells 2 & 3 should increase output above 6000bod, more than doubling the present quoted figures.

Emerald Energy Plc ('Emerald' or the 'Company')

Operations Update

Emerald is pleased to provide the following update:

The Company has completed the drilling of Vigia #2 in the Campo Rico block. This
appraisal well was drilled from the Vigia #1 well location and deviated to enter
the target oil reservoirs almost 3000 ft to the southwest. The well was drilled
to a total depth of 11,680 ft and has now been completed for production.

The Saxon Energy Services (ex Parker Drilling) Rig 222 is now moving to drill
Vigia #3, a second appraisal well also to be drilled from the Vigia #1 location.

Temporary production facilities are being constructed at Vigia and it is
expected that approval for long-term production tests of Vigia #1 and Vigia #2
will be obtained shortly, which will permit early production from these wells.
The long-term production tests will be carried out using hydraulic downhole
pumps (jet pumps) as currently used at the Company's Campo Rico and Gigante
fields.

Since its discovery by Emerald in 2004, the Campo Rico field has produced over
500,000 barrels of oil and the Company is preparing a Commerciality Application
to present to Ecopetrol with respect to the field. A similar Commerciality
Application for the Vigia field will be prepared once the preliminary results
from the long-term production tests of the Vigia wells are available.

The workovers at Campo Rico #2 and #3 are currently being carried out and
production from these wells is anticipated in July as previously indicated.

Alastair Beardsall, Emerald's Chairman, said: 'The development of the Campo Rico
and Vigia fields is set to give the Company a further increase in its oil
production and is evidence of Emerald's commitment to its fast track exploration
and production programme in Colombia.'

gervis2 Just beat me to it, expected, but a great result all the same.
with vigia3 about to be spudded, mid august we could be seeing upwards of
7500bopd and at todays prices this company is seriously undervalued.
not to late to get in.

I have moved from EEN to Granby Oil and Gas (GOIL) because I believe there is more room to move in its share price than EEN. Also GOIL will announce news this week on its first Well in the north sea should be good news given this companies reputation.

Taken profits on EEN and wasnt about to lose them again like has happen so many times with this share. I still belive its a great company though and might get back into it when the price comes down to 1.60 which i think it will do as it always does.

and down goes she goes, this just seem to keep the gains very quickly will end up at the end of the 1p up.

EEN made 3.6 million on turnover of 1300 bpd. With production now above 3 times that level and the price of crude predicted to hit $69 in the short term, then can we expect profits of around 15-18 million for the year?

went up 11p now its 7p..........down, down, down, down.

Could be another field of operations for SEY or EEN!

GENEVA (AFX) - Kazakhstan's energy minister Vladimir Shkolnik said he hoped to export 130 mln tonnes of crude oil mainly to Europe within a decade as production is tripled every year.

Speaking on the sidelines of a regular United Nations meeting on Caspian Sea energy supplies, Shkolnik said the country currently had about 8 mln tonnes on tap but reiterated that it was aiming to expand that to 150 mln.

'In 10 years we are aiming to deliver to Europe, maybe not only to Europe, 130 mln tonnes of crude oil per year,' he told journalists.

Kazakhstan is regarded in the West as a potential alternative to traditional producers in the Middle East.

The Kazakh government is also aiming to put some of the blocks of offshore oil reserves it holds in its part of the Caspian up for tender open to foreign companies next year, the energy minister indicated.

'Part of the blocks will be developed together with our national oil and gas company. Part of the blocks will be put on open tender. This procedure I hope will start next year,' Shkolnik said.
