Desire 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). Desire Petroleum

Latest Press Realeses from Desire

Been outside in the sun all morning Marky but shall have a look now....DES outperforming RKH as I predicted...lovely jubbly!

Marky...hadn't heard anything along those lines myself.

So have you just checked your email as i sent 2 or did you check your mobile as sent 1?

I guess when back we can get the bubbly out no more boxes of tissues.

.

EK will certainly have caught a bad cold as i see he is short of these - silly billy!
ditto SGP - that's not looking too bright a move either

are you typing in stereo for a reason cynic????

the pc seems to have had a mind of its own this afternoon and posted double several times .... very dull

Too much excitement for you cynic. Hand shaking. Get a grip! ;o)

i did, and thought the damn thing would fall off!

try vasiline.,.

Lol!

Still think that DES is a short.....it's worth 500 million pounds wit has assets .....not much........name a company on the market valued as much with next to nothing apart from a gas discovery.....the crazy thing is : are the stock holders going to hang on and wait for the next well results...?....some big profit taking will kick in here....

marky...left my phone charger at home so knackered for texting!

Having held RKH till drill results of sealion Oil discovery, and behond, I will find it quite compelling to hold DES till the lovely Rachel gushes forth!

Who says anything is going to gush ?....it's hit or miss....500 million....nuts.....

lol

DES needs a strike and I hope they get one with Rachel. Given the comments by Pierre Jungels yesterday that Sea Lion is the biggest fan in the North, it means that Sea Lion is likely to be upgraded by significant amounts over time with more data and then an appraisal well or two.

RKH also has another billion recoverable barrels potential with Fox, Stephens and Jason and they are all very close to Sea Lion.

A DES strike at Sea Lion should see DES catch up in market cap terms to RKH, although RKH should be a lot higher by then. They both have, imo, about equal size potential in the East of the North and therefore once DES hits oil then the market cap of DES and RKH should be about the same.

Its exciting times ahead, I am 70/30/0/0/0 in terms of Falklands holdings, and thats RKH/DES/BOR/FOGL/ARG.

The three zero's will stay like that for a long time to come I think and the other weighting will stay 70/30 as, at the moment, I like the look of Fox and Stephens prospects and, at the moment, Rachel is not proven, Sea Lion is.

So come on DES, strike oil with Rachel and its going to all round celebrations again.

The downside is of course if DES do not strike with Rachel then DES alone will take a hammering, possibly back to 60p levels before a more timid rise into the next drill. But thats the name of the game and why my weighting is only 30% DES at the moment and 70% in with the already stamped commercial oil find under the belt stock.

Indeed DES will take a smack should Rachel be abit dusty, however DES will take a very large spike should she come in like sealion.

RKH are now out of the news for a bit whilst DES take the OG over for 5 months or so...RKH will also raise some more cash before the next phase with sealion.

For those reasons I've sold RKH and solely into DES for now...3rd time lucky for DES drillbit???????????

marky...Weatherford did the testing at Sealion

chav, thats a very risky route you have taken.

RKH still has plenty of upside from Sea Lion alone, it should be over 700p before too long.

The upside is that RKH has 7.5% of any Rachel success, will be moving to main listing and off of AIM and also there is lots more news to come as the flow test results are integrated into the model and therefore possibly a nice upgrade in the recoverable size.

So plenty of "insulated" upside still to go on RKH. Thats why I am 70/30 - never have sold a single RKH and no plans to for at least another 18 to 24 months.

DES is exciting, but very risky, worthy of new money being put in, but not, IMO, worth selling RKH to buy.

Good luck, hope it comes off for you.
