Desire Petroleum are drilling in Falklands (DES)

<>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

Its no suprise as i submitted this link on the 24.02.10 and back then Keith said" We send a "destroyer", four "Euro-fighters" and a submarine are also on the way,

This has all been run along with HMG and am sure the RNS saying we have hit oil Will have to be past through them first untill we read it.

good point marky.....the political implications are quite huge so going overt with the navy top cover would no doubt add something to the atmosphere of a successful drill programme.....popeye's to the rescue....

markymar - 17 Mar 2010 14:00 - 4011 of 6492

They had V.I.P flown to the rig yesterday......plenty of good Pics and PR ....now would the V.I.P have pics taken if Liz is a flop?.....tick tock tick tock!!!

markymar - 17 Mar 2010 14:13 - 4014 of 6492

halifax - 17 Mar 2010 14:13 - 4015 of 6492

cynic perhaps they are having roast pork (very impressive pig) for lunch on sunday to celebrate.

HARRYCAT - 17 Mar 2010 14:16 - 4016 of 6492

That looks like a 'solidarity' statement from the FCO & has no bearing on imminent results, imo.

cynic - 17 Mar 2010 14:24 - 4017 of 6492

let's hope it's neither pig nor dog
