Desire Petroleum are drilling in Falklands (DES)

<>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

Balerboy - 11 Oct 2010 09:01 - 4764 of 6492

cynic - 11 Oct 2010 09:03 - 4765 of 6492

i don't think you're right on that score .... i THINK fogl has slowly weakened across that period

markymar - 11 Oct 2010 09:08 - 4766 of 6492

FOGL a sell, Bor A sell, nothing going to happen for a good while,The rig they thought they had went to another company.

Proselenes - 11 Oct 2010 09:10 - 4767 of 6492

FOGL = sell
BOR = sell
DES = hold / top slice
RKH = screaming buy.

Pretty much where we are.

HARRYCAT - 11 Oct 2010 09:23 - 4769 of 6492

Yeah, but that's a fantasy nursery rhyme. This is reality! ;o)

required field - 11 Oct 2010 09:32 - 4770 of 6492

Not yet....the problem is that I'm in AFC....and staying there ....cannot bring myself to switching into this...regardless of the possibility of the sp flying above 200p....but still going long on RKH....

Balerboy - 11 Oct 2010 10:48 - 4771 of 6492

avsec - 11 Oct 2010 13:45 - 4773 of 6492

Very useful Marky - thanks. Some good information even if a bit rose-tinted

Proselenes - 11 Oct 2010 14:22 - 4774 of 6492

The rise is DES has legs, you can easily sell 100K at mid price, so the background demand is there.

Has the drilling mud shown traces of oil ? Something might be up, or not.

cynic - 11 Oct 2010 14:49 - 4775 of 6492

more likely to have shown traces of lugworms ..... btw, drilling mud is not what you think! ..... drilling mud is actually a non-haz compound that primarily lubricates and cools the drill bit

Proselenes - 11 Oct 2010 14:59 - 4776 of 6492

Yes cynic and when it comes back up to the surface if the bit has been going through oil containing rock the drilling mud will pick up traces and it will be show back on the surface when it cycles back up.

It does not stay down there, its cycled around the drilling bit from surface to bit to surface.................

cynic - 11 Oct 2010 15:06 - 4777 of 6492

drilling mud is a liquid and has nothing to with the gunge and debris that adheres to the drill bit

markymar - 11 Oct 2010 16:00 - 4778 of 6492

Watching this like a hawk.......nearly 1 million more buys but it has a crazy Market Cap: 568.03m

RKH has found 242 mill barrels and Market Cap: 885.52m


My head is saying sell some Desire and the other half is saying hold for now.

chav - 11 Oct 2010 16:11 - 4779 of 6492

You know you really want to buy some more DES marky...makes sense!

markymar - 11 Oct 2010 16:16 - 4780 of 6492

chav - 11 Oct 2010 16:32 - 4781 of 6492

markymar - 11 Oct 2010 17:40 - 4782 of 6492
