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

They must know by now...good or bad.....I fear that it's hydrocarbons of a sort yes...commercial...no....a discovery like sealion would be incredible not only for DES but RKH as well and probably impact ARG's sp as well....

not necessarily so at all, though the odds, as in all oil exploration, are always stacked against commercial discovery

You are playing a dangerous game shorting this.....because it could go either way within minutes....do you have a stoploss that will come into effect no matter what ?.

waste of time unless guaranteed, and that was not possible

If it drops back to 85p...take your profits...

probably ..... bit undecided what to do as am off to golf shortly

.

Something is going on...sp all over the place...

News but no news...

This company is on a knife's edge...2 or 50p....

Desire Petroleum plc (AIM: DES), the oil and gas company wholly focused on the North Falkland Basin, wishes to give a further update on the drilling progress to date on the Rachel 14/15-1Z sidetrack well.

The well reached its measured total depth of 3,418 metres on 27 October and the process of pulling out of the drill hole is underway. Once this is complete, logging operations will commence and a further announcement will be made once the logging results are known.

The Company also notes recent press speculation and wishes to confirm that it has not received any approaches concerning a possible offer for the Company.

They must know if they have hit oil or not.what kind of RNS is thatIf you have hit oil you would be jumping up and down.

The Company also notes recent press speculation and wishes to confirm that it has not received any approaches concerning a possible offer for the Company.

And no signs of any hydrocarbons on the way down ?....come to think of it Faroe Petroleum have been drilling for months and no signs there either...(not the operator)..

Oh dear...the forces of darkness are closing in (shorters)....below 100p and dropping.....parachutes are at the ready.....
