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.

Are they really production testing XXI?, not really any interest is there?.
Plenty of drills to come also soon, liking the look of Rosa Blanca Colombian Block.

major

yes md, logged over 500ft of Hydrocarbons (two zones) also.

thinking of buying, doing some research.

what % do they own of XXI?. tia.

thanks all looked myself- 100% of XXI.

where is everyone, this company has potential.

We're all still here, but returns on our investment are very slow coming.
I still have some stock which I bought in Nov '06. (My own fault, I should have averaged down), but GOO always seems to have huge potential but mediocre returns. What generally seems to happen is that the sp rises on the hype surrounding imminent news, but then tanks when reality sets in.
All imo of course, but be prepared for a bumpy ride. Duster or gusher. Could be either.

Rother , as Harry says we are still here , yes i bought my stock between Feb - May 06 and with Hindsight should have sold out at 17p later that year! It's that thing called greed! You hang on hoping for better as Harry explained in above post! Let's hoping this time it be a Gusher , soon all be revealed!

Rother
All still waiting yes it could be a multi bag if we hit the black stuff big time.

Driver , yeah lets hope we do hit it big this time , hopefully news next week!

cheers guys, some buying this am.
hopefully testing will be positive.


more drills soon also by the looks but all eyes on XXI at mo.

Another tic up , go on GOO!

Perhaps that was rother getting stuck in? Already in profit then! :o)

Looking like a good finish before the weekend.

HarryC
They havent really done anything yet, seem to have got themselves into a decent position though.

some interesting projects.

SP not exactly flying, not a short term view for me.

Rising nicely this morning , hope GOOd news coming out later?

1958
Yes it looks like rother didn't do enough research and jumped on board to join us you cant please them all.

Driver , your spot on , just have to hang in their with GOO!

I have been in this one for 2 years now and let hope that we get some positive results now otherwise sp will back down again. Does anyone know when the next news is due?
