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.

6 AUG 2009 Operational and Reserves & Resources Update Colombia & Peru
http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/20090806084900H3062.html

It's going up fast!!!

Flippin' heck! Why? (I cashed in ages ago, but still good to see them coming out of the doldrums!).

Maybe it is something to do with Cuba opening up?

Results out steady as she goes.

http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/20100929070000H7449.html

Regret not 'steady as she goes'. Down 7%. Recent rise in sp might have been the pre-results surge, which don't seem to have impressed.

Steady as she goes.

We will look to grow the asset base and build on our presence in South America
particularly in Colombia where its improved economic stability, openness toward
foreign investors and untapped potential presents exciting opportunities from
which we can expand our portfolio. Colombia and Peru will remain our primary
focus however we will also consider other opportunities in South America and
elsewhere if they can add growth and value to the Company.

Admin costs are greater than revenue and nearly twice as much as cost of sales! So twice as much talking as doing!

Sounds like a Civil Service department. ;o)

I suppose they have Sheer cash to add to those figures now which would make a big difference to the balance sheets.

From what I can see, and could be wrong, but the Sheer money was received before the balance sheet date.

It could be that the Sheer money came in and a chunck of it whizzed out as administration expenses.

Gold Oil PLC Exercise of Option
http://moneyam.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/20101005070000H8950.html

I wonder if the realised cash from the exercising of the option has gone out as administration expenses?

I don't think Sheer would be putting millions in to finance admin.
Drilling campaign coming up this quarter so perhaps that is where they see value?

Farmout deadline was Nov 5th for offers, should get some news soon imo.
This would be big news if they get the right development carries and equity retained.

By all accounts GOO should be drilling in Colombia shortly and about time.

lizard
Need some news soon cant keep topping up.

expecting news soon driver
big news in Peru hopefully?
