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)

Morning skyhigh

So now all the underlying acquisition work is done.

They can get ion with the job of making this company.

Irvine Energy Completes Its Land Acquisition Programme In Kansas And Oklahoma And Starts Thinking About Oil And Gas Production And Reserves Build Up
Given the success of Nighthawk Energy and Meridian Petroleum in exploiting low cost/low risk gas accumulations in the US, it is worth keeping a beady eye on fellow London AIM-listed Irvine Energy now that it has got all its acreage ducks in a row.

The company has recently announced that it has completed the acquisition of a 50 per cent working interest in a further 27,337.2 gross acres of oil and gas exploration and production leases in Oklahoma for a cash consideration of US$5.5 million and unsecured loan notes of US$4 million.

This completes the acquisition of oil and gas assets from its US partner Metro Energy announced in July 2007 and brings the companys total portfolio of oil and gas exploration and production leases to around 167,800 gross acres across Kansas and Oklahoma.

It means the company can now get on with producing from its low cost oil and gas wells within highly prospective and proven oil and gas regions, as well as build up its reserves.

In southern Kansas an Area of Mutual Interest (AMI) was designated covering 7 million acres. This includes many small leases including so-called Mom and Pop leases. Irvine has acquired a 75 per cent working interest in oil and gas assets covering 112,000 acres. Metro Energy holds the other 25 per cent.

As many as 12 conventional production intervals have produced in the area at depths of between 1,500 5,000 feet (500 to 1,525 metres), with three (Arbuckle, Mississippian and Pennsylvanian) being prolific.

Importantly the AMI also houses the highly prospective Chattanooga Shale formation. Shale gas, due to the development of new extraction techniques, is the USs fastest growing onshore energy sector. There is an opportunity to exploit both conventional and non-conventional plays.

In Oklahoma the company now has the 50 per cent interest with Metro in 52,000 acres in oil and gas leases. Again the acreage contains the proven Woodford Shale and Caney Shale as well as multi stacked conventional reservoirs. The Oklahoma project will ultimately provide up to 400 unconventional drilling locations and up to 150 conventional drilling locations.

Also the company has acquired a 50 per cent working interest in the Niobrabra project which is a shallow gas play. The Niobrabra project is primarily focused on the exploration of conventional gas plays. The licence area includes 20 completed well bores with 13 tested at 50,000 cubic feet a day each. Total projected production from 20 wells is 1 million cubic feet a day. Irvines net production is 850,000 cfde but this is expected to increase rapidly to 2 million cfde with an intensive drilling programme. In south Kansas the immediate emphasis is on proving up reserves. There has been production before but no 3D seismic. This is now in train to firm up 3P reserves to at least 2P. It is hoped Irvine will be entitled to book 2P reserves of 48 bcfe with a further 100 bcfe of P3 hopefully to be firmed up to 2P, and 220 bcfe of contingent reserves in various stages of appraisal and development. Going into 2008 Irvine has a 60 well programme underway.

The point is that gas prices are high in the US and infrastructure widespread. As other juniors have shown, known deposits can quickly be monetised and a good cash cow established.

MUMBAI (Thomson Financial) - Irvine Energy PLC said it has started production within its 162,000 acre portfolio of onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas projects in the US.

'At our current rate of development, we aim to be producing in our three areas of operation by April,' said managing director Aaron Close.

The AIM listed oil and gas exploration and production company also said its net production for January was 6.973 mln standard cubic feet of gas and 76 bln barrels of oil, from 18 wells in Oklahoma.

The total gas production for the month of January stood at 7.973 mln standard cubic feet.

Initial well locations have been identified in Kansas targeting the Arbuckle and Mississippian formation in the highly prospective Cooley oil fields and drilling is planned to start at the end of February, the company said.

The first gas sale from its Niobrara project is expected in March, the company added.

Very good news....you'd think it would be anough to finally get the ball rolling but we'll see... in this crazy market it could just as easily go down !

Not getting carried away just yet. Keeping my feet firmly on the ground for now..

this needs to get back to 4.5p just to break even for me as I first got in when it came to market ! might get some more next week if it's still at these levels and will have more funds available !

sp perking up !

I selected the shares to have a move up on another thread...............

Slowly moving higher from lows as Indicators are moving up from oversold, there will be a BREAKOUT on going over 2.675p

Placing at 2p and recent adquisition whith Three recent broker reports say buy with upside to 15p. Oil and gas projects in the U.S. production began last month. Placing at 2p and recent adquisition whith operator Metro Energy holding 10%

Management has a good a track record on acquiring acreage and debt financing is in place to provide for a rapid drilling programme. Success is expected as projects are still profitable even with oil prices half of what they are now

We are now at the point of BREAKOUT from the 2.675p last high (intraday) of early January

Cool!...what happens next ?

There is a seller on the market with those large trades from time to time of 500K and 1M, but the buys today are trully well above those sells, maybe at the end of the day a large trade could be the last of the overhang, and then open higher tomorrow morning.

Master RSI - 28 Apr'08 - 17:24 - 858 of 858 edit
As I was expecting 5 large trades are now being reported after the market is close
