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

from another bb - make of it what you like :
'I'm on holiday at the moment and met this guy who works as a technical engineer for some American company drilling for gas in in the north of Africa. I printed out the RNS and asked him if this was good. He broke it down quite nice and basically said IF they do strike it's gonna be one hell of a payday. All the signs are there so its just a matter of time WHEN they strike. We will just have to wait and see. There's no way of finding out yet if it's a duster or a gusher. But in his professional opinion he said there is every chance DES will strike. I thought I would just share this with you guys. Hopefully bring a little optimism to the board. Anyway, as always GLA and DYOR'

So..... a guy you don't know, met another guy in a bar on holiday and a few hours later after a bucket load of beers, got talking about DES and ......... reached no better conclusion than we all have! Very helpful! ;o)

Was his last name.....an irish one ?...O'Connor...perhaps....?.....or Mondtutu....

There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis......

perhaps he has one on his shoulder because he can't afford blue suede shoes

Well ...we are not losing our sense of humour here on the verge of a crash....

Hang on...sp moving up ....
