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.

Gold Oil PLC
12 July 2006


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 12 July 2006





GOLD OIL PLC

('Gold' or the 'Company ')


Gold invited to enter final negotiations for an Exploration & Exploitation
Contract covering Block Z-34, Offshore Peru

and

Gold has spudded its Block XXI San Alberto 1 exploration well


Block Z34


Gold is pleased to announce that the Company has been qualified by Perupetro as
an Offshore Operator and Contractor. With its AIM listed joint venture partner,
Plectrum Plc ('Plectrum'), we have been invited by Perupetro to start exclusive
negotiations with them to finalise the details of an Exploration Licence
covering Block Z-34, offshore Peru. It is expected that the contract will be
signed and approved by Perupetro within weeks, with formal approval by the
Minister of Energy and Mines sometime later.


On 8 May 2006 Plectrum announced that it had agreed to form a joint venture with
Gold in respect of Block Z-34, jointly giving notice to convert Gold's existing
Promotion Agreement into a 30 year Exploration & Exploitation Licence. Final
completion of the transaction was subject to the qualification of both companies
as approved contractors and the negotiation and approval of the Exploration
Licence terms by the Peruvian authorities.


Block XXI


Gold is pleased to announce that on the 10 July 2006 it spudded the San
Alberto-1X exploration well on Block XXI, onshore Sechura Basin in North West
Peru. The well is the first on the Block and is targeting both gas at less than
3,500 feet in the Verdun reservoir, producing gas in the nearby La Casita field,
and oil in the deeper Palaeozoic that is producing oil in the San Pedro oil
field. Total depth pf 6,500 feet is expected to be reached in some three weeks.


Gary Moore, Gold's Managing Director, commented:


'This is excellent news for Gold in our new joint venture with Plectrum. I look
forward to speedy negotiation of the contract terms so that we can become
operationally active as soon as possible and commence exploration activity on
Block Z34. It is also very important to Gold that exploration drilling has
started in such a short time since the Licence was ratified on the 4 of April
2006.'

Notes to Editors


The offshore Block Z-34 sits in the prolific Talara Basin which has produced to
date in excess of 1.7 billion barrels of oil and 340 billion cubic feet of gas
(1). The 3,713 km(2) block (equivalent to 14 North Sea Blocks) sits adjacent to
existing producing concessions in water depths of 100-3000m, yet has a sparse
existing data set of just 500km 2D seismic and no wells. The initial work
programme will be to acquire a conventional modern 2D seismic grid and enhance
these data with Electro Magnetic (EM) studies.


The area of Block XXI is equivalent to just less than 14 UK North Sea blocks.
The block lies in a desert area, next to the city of Piura, and to the east of
an existing producing gas field. Both lie within the Sechura Basin, which is
adjacent to, and is believed to be a sub-basin of the Talara Basin.


Previously the Company had been interested in the potentially gas bearing Verdun
reservoirs in Block XXI, but the recent well by PetroTech offshore Sechura Basin
flowed oil at 1200 bopd from the Paleozoic, a reservoir previously not
considered over the last 100 years to produce oil at these rates. PetroTech have
since drilled more wells in its development of the San Pedro field. The
Paleozoic reservoirs are believed to run under Block XXI with top being at
around a depth of 4,000 feet.

talk about timing. i was going to add tomorrow but it could be a v positive day. that is excellent news.

i will be buying in tomorrow anyway as i am liking the look of goo long term. hopefully i can buy under 8p tomorrow?.

z34 is the acreage that attracted me to goo in the first place.

Adding first thing. Superb

Lizard / Moneyman, good luck on the buys tomorrow, I have fingers crossed for lift off and can't see this one waiting any longer.... I'm fully in as much as I care to be at the moment.

demain n'arrive jamais! .... as we all know to our cost

still waiting on confirmation of brazil blocks awarded last week and outcome of nancy workover work colombia.

z34 looks very interesting.

Cynic

Do you ever wonder why you received so much abuse on ADVFN?

1. You know sweet FA about the stock market (fundamentals nor TA, by your own admission)
2. All you ever post are inane negative comments dressed up as expert opinion.

Give it a rest FFS.

pth

why would they issue an rns 9 minutes before close. unless they are preparing another for tomorrow?.

for those who know gold oil plc we know what we want to be confirmed!.

Z34;http://www.goldoilplc.com/peru3.html

Can buy at 7.10p online.

So lizard, are you betting on an RNS today? lol!

just bought 1000 worth at 7.4 pence i have read up on them and think they have good prospects. i will wait and see how they perform and maybe top up.

Welcome aboard.

As a shareholder in Gold Oil I am very concerned about the timing of your RNS's. Yesterdays one was issued with 9 minutes of the market closing. Surely it would have been better to wait until this morning to issue it and investors and the market could have had the whole day to digest the news not 9 minutes. Also you might have got press coverage on Friday as well. Also how is the Nancy well in Columbia progressing?

copy of email sent to gold Oil.

Lets see what they have to say, in my opinion you are reading to much into the timing of the rns I do not think that goo are that bothered with the small moments in the sp at this stage.

just seems pointless to me releasing then. i have never seen such a stupid time to put out a positive statement. i would imagine the timing would also miss next day media.

cynic we are expecting news but thought the strategy and only explanation for issuing at this time was so they could do another at the open without it getting missed. when a company issues more than one rns they sometimes dont get seen.

Sorry about the press release, but we had a major problem with our e-mail system. The release was sent out last Friday, but the instruction failed to get through. We only noticed when an investor asked about it. (We are very busy on our Peru well at present). The Nancy well is finished and we are waiting on a storage tank delivery to start production.
Regards


Reply to email sent yesterday to Gary Moore.

cheers tvc and well done. always worth mailing them otherwise they may not have noticed. nbm fingers crossed for decent and increasing production levels.

tvc15
Yes well done on the email.

great news from columbia taken from web site
July 14, 2006
The Operator HAS NOW installed THE jet pump and test facilities. They are sourcing a 1000 bbbl tank to receive production and expect production to start in 2 weeks time. The operator remains confident that commercial flow rates will be obtained.

also news from brazil

July 14, 2006
Proen bid, on behalf of the JV, for these two blocks and won them. The Ministry tendered the blocks on the basis of a workover programme. However, we wanted the blocks because there is considerable exploration upside and we are now negotiating with the Ministry for us to keep the blocks and allow exploration.
