Bought into IVE this morning, purely on speculation only... small time though. Don't know much about them though ! in for a penny in for a pound and all that.
Got out of TPG (dead loss and falling away fast)

Gas moving up because of the Russian antics with Ukraine and knock on to Eastern European countries.

Something is bubbling IVE today.

thanks for that good read.
may be gas rock might give ive back much needed financial support.
ive has been using the same 3d tech and location.
it would be nice to see ive back at 2p.

be nice to see it back at 4.5p where I got in some 2/3 yrs ago!

lot of volume, lot of trading into a second week now??????

If you look on the right hand side of the webpage once you open the link there is an article on Irvine but they've put the wrong company, so more info is about to come out on IVE it seems, will be interesting to read....

could Hardman be waiting for an official RNS first?

Could be fatgreek, in any event there must be a new note to follow or the broken link would not be there, the last one was in December, a lot has happened since then for them to comment on.

in this weeks "investors chronical" under title of "takeovers in depth"
-irvine energy. black rock oil and ukrainan operaters were named as most likely immediate targets in fresh consolidation schedual to hit upstream oil or gas gas sector-says industry source!!!
this could explain recent buying/volumes in ive!

Kuzemko, thanks for that could you post the article.

Kuzemko, thanks for that could you post the article.

hoodless also think IVE a prime for a takeover

I bought a few this week.

lots of take over talk I see on all the IVE borads.

Hoodless Brennan mention it in their article.
Investors Chronicle mention it about Irvine also (anyone poss to paste that new article out) - maybe thats what reversed the dip the other day.
Harmand Report put together a detailed valutaion for once.

Coincidence?

Oil shale now producing. More assets on the books. Also hints from HB that Niobrara might be sold? how do they know that. They hold over 5% of the co, seems like they know more than us on that.

K1S also who I have to say has been spot on, thinks theres a few things awaiting relese.

My question is funding or takeover?

IVE is very interesting right now. Whichever of the two. With all the buying lately something is brewing imo. And which ever it is? IVE will be at a lot higher price after.

Here's to an explosive RNS.

I'm getting up early, I have a feeling this could be the week ;-)

Oil rises as Opec output reduced

Opec agreed last month to cut output by 2.2m barrels a day
Oil prices have risen as hopes that the oil cartel Opec is complying with its production cuts outweigh new gloomy economic news.

US light crude added $2.80 to $46.47 a barrel. London Brent rose $2.98 to $48.37 a barrel.

Oil consultant Petrologistics estimated Opec production would fall by 1.55m barrels per day in January.

In December, the cartel agreed to cut output by 2.2m barrels a day as prices fell by more than $100 since July.

"I think this [Friday's rise] represents anticipation that the Opec production cuts are really happening after the Petrologistics estimates on January OPEC production," said energy analyst Tim Evans at Citi Futures Perspective.

"It seems that some of the strength [in oil prices] has come as part of a wider commodities rally," said Peter Beutel, president of Cameron Hanover.

Forecasts for cold weather in the US Midwest and the Northeast also supported heating oil prices, as the region is one of the biggest heating oil markets.

Oil prices were as low as $35 a barrel last week.

Global prices have fallen sharply since last summer as demand has weakened as a result of the economic slowdown.
