Desire Petroleum are drilling in Falklands (DES)

free hit countersDesire 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).

good - you deserve some good fortune, though goodness knows what tomorrow will bring.
i have never ever seen such gyrations as have happened this evening on wall street, and don't want to again .... wonder where it will close tonight

ptholden - 06 May 2010 20:50 - 4402 of 6492

Thanks Richard, I generally guess the direction right, but too early, get stopped out by a few points for a loss then watch it do what I thought it would. Hopefully DES will continue to 'piggy-back' RKH and hit a decent recovery themselves.

The performance of the DOW is incredible today, although fantastic profits to be made, happy not to be invloved.

Marky is very speechless nowadays.

It's a bugger isn't it when a plan comes together!! I have been waiting (and in big time - for me!) for four years having been involved in the VERY early survey work in 1981.

Now let's see if it is another 30 years before Total and others start on the Antarctic Peninsula. They have already test drilled on Anvers Island in the Wedell Sea.

a
my data doesnt go that far back but all time closing high appears to be circa 124.5 and a fibonacci 50% level is 62.25. that may, or may not be considered the first major resistance level to overcome. which it did today, intraday that is.but it closed at circa 61.75 which is so close on its first attempt.thats pretty close which i find curious.
additionaly using the same 50% fibonacci of the oct 08 low of circa 18.8 and the jan10 all time high of 133sh we have 75.9 and todays high was 77sh. that also is pretty close which i also find curious.what happens next i dont know but i still think it has to get above 130sh and stay there to prove itself,. naturally this is my interpretation of the chart, which many say cannot interpret or show or have any meaningfull input on such r&d stocks . i disagree, but then this is all just my opinion and please dyor.
good luck to you.
regards
jkd

avsec - 06 May 2010 21:57 - 4403 of 4404 ....R U saying there that the Yanks have drilled a test Oil Well on Anvers island????!!!...Presume this was based out of Palmer Station if it ever happened?

avsec - 07 May 2010 16:21 - 4406 of 6492

No it wasn't the Yanks - they practiced drilling through a glacier to prove it was possible to drill through moving ice.
The French were on Anvers Island IIRC. I can always look back through diaries.

chav - 08 May 2010 19:48 - 4407 of 6492

avsec...I have been to Anvers Island and enjoyed the tremendous hospitality of the Yanks at Palmer Station and find your suggestion of the Frogs drilling an Oil Well there, very hard to believe.

Desire rocketing now.....quite incredible days...

Balerboy - 10 May 2010 09:04 - 4409 of 6492

only on the back of rkh and thats now retreating so will des..

markymar - 10 May 2010 09:27 - 4410 of 6492

Balerboy on level 2 the buy book is double to sells which only means one thing.

TheFrenchConnection - 10 May 2010 09:28 - 4411 of 6492

too much hot money in here here for an old campaigner like myself ,,...l am an old fashioned percentages player ,,,bought back heavily @ 44p and sold at 54p and back in again at 58p and selling now at 93p,,,,,,im not a greedy m/fooker lookin to hit this one over the fence ...Reg. DES ,,,,,literally years b/fore any payload ...or come to that a wait until Q3 until spudding even- let alone a strike ......so ill await typical market fatigue and look to take a long term position at a later date. .......edit > Have a notion DES will return to lnitial PRE drilling s/p trading between 110p/110p parameters

TheFrenchConnection - 10 May 2010 09:35 - 4412 of 6492

roly - a reason for everything my old mate -dissappearing is my forte ...-hoping you understand ....im not ignoring you / spooks and regs on my case ..- juste survived FSA enquirry and face a naked shorting case next on dual listed berlin/bremen and LSE stock- ya know the typical route for bank holiday short sellers ..../ my ass always in hot seat ./ innocent as always !!!!. ...........dont want any guilt by association so dare not e-mail anyone.............avsec - You are quite correct .-we French spent a long time recogging Anvers well before yankee F$$K UPS arrived

cynic - 10 May 2010 09:47 - 4413 of 6492

Frogman - so the regs are chasing you are they ..... silly boy and trust you are squeaky clean ..... i don't happen to agree with re DES .... there is now proven commercial oil in the region and DES have fingers in several pies, so i reckon the risk/reward is pretty good

required field - 10 May 2010 10:00 - 4414 of 6492

Hang on....commercial needs a flow test....not yet done...oil but not truly proven until flow for at least a few hours....but at a guess I'd say Rockhoppers discovery is large enough....it's the rest of the area that all is still in the dark except for their gas discovery....stock now valued towards level with GKP....a little high perhaps ?...

required field - 10 May 2010 11:50 - 4415 of 6492

Amazing...this sp is rising in tandem with RKH....one goes up a few pennies or down and the other follows suit..

avsec - 10 May 2010 15:42 - 4416 of 6492

chav
Just getting the log book and maps out....I too have enjoyed the warmth of Palmer on a number of occasions and perhaps I'm one of few that can say I've flown in there under my own control ... that's another story. Just been skyping the current Palmer commander for this winter who is a close friend.

avsec - 10 May 2010 15:58 - 4417 of 6492

Sorry Chav My mistake - brain fart!
It was Snow Hill Island which is next to Seymour Island and the Argentine base of Marambio (great asado there!) It was December 1980. We were bouncing around the Weddell crunching ice and it was then I flew geomorphologists around James Ross islands collecting fossils to prove some theories on carbon fuels. I've still got the bi-valve I stubbed my toe on!

chav - 10 May 2010 16:14 - 4418 of 6492

avsec...are you ex Endurance then?....Marambio would have still been in Brit hands in 1980 and called Faraday Base

aldwickk - 10 May 2010 16:58 - 4419 of 6492

Ok understand TFC , will i have to wait untill the book comes out for the full story ? hope you haven't been using any of the spooks money for your dealings...

avsec - 10 May 2010 20:36 - 4420 of 6492

Chav
Faraday certainly was British but nowhere near Marambio!

I think you will find that Faraday was on the other side of the Peninsula on the Argentine Islands with a red British phone box on an adjacent island.
