GOLD OIL, the London-based oil exploration company focused on the South American and Caribbean region, announces that in late December 2005, the Company received an Operator Certificate from PeruPetro that allows the Company to carry out seismic, drilling and development operations in Northwest Peru.
The Promotion Licence signed with PeruPetro on October 15, 2004 with PeruPetro for Block XI (now renamed Block XXI) onshore Sechura Basin has been converted to an Exploration and Production Licence. The Licence now goes to the Ministry of Energy and Mines for approval, which could be forthcoming anytime between February and May of this year 2006.
The terms of the E&P Licence commit the Company to either shoot 120 km of 2D seismic or drill a well in the first period of five over a seven year term. The remaining four periods require the Company to either drill a well or drop the acreage. The Licence is for a term of 30 years for oil and 40 years for gas, with a minimum royalty of 5% on wellhead production for the first 5000bopd (30 MMscfd for gas) rising to 20% if and when production reaches 100,000 bopd (600 MMscfd for gas).

Times Article:
Gold Oil is valued in the market at about �15m. That is so small that almost any good news must have a big impact on the share price.
What are the chances of that happening? Run by a former Burmah Oil director, Mike Burchell, Gold Oil will drill the first in a series of wells in the Sechura Basin in April. There will be surprise if it does not find gas, as another company, Olympic, has done just that in a similar formation nearby.
The secondary target, later in the year, will be oil, I gather. A couple of months ago, Petro Tech made a big oil find offshore in the Sechura Basin. The theory is the oil may have migrated up into Gold Oil�s block. Don�t ask me to explain the geology because I don�t speak Palaeozoic. But a decent oil find here would be a company-maker.
Gold Oil has enough cash to fund this year�s drilling programme. And it already has a deal in place to sell its gas to Mann Ferrostaal, a German company that is building an ammonia plant nearby. Getting all that for �15m seemed a bargain to me. But Gold Oil still has to find its gas.

Hi

The following quote from Mr Moore is quite interesting and nobody has referred specifically to it..."The whole planning and operation of the well has been an exclusively Peruvian one.".
The way I read this is that Gold Oil have hit the jackpot and that Mr Moore is the first to give credit to the work / skill of the Peruvian staff. I have read hundreds of drilling progress reports and this is the first time I have come across a report at such an early stage where the CEO is giving praise to the workers. He would hardly have said these words if it was a dry hole. Its a case of reading between the lines and this is my interpretation of great news.
Yes Gold Oil is coming of age!!

who got the gold makes the rules. looking good for gold oil.
should i get excited or should i not?

bloody hell its getting tempting AGAIN!.

lizard and others ..... when living in hope, as here, it is all too easy to interpret what may well be meant purely as an innocuous and general comment - e.g. in this case "thank you" - as an indicator of imminent good news.

fingers crossed cynic. but prepared for all situations and will hold whatever.

if you dont hold you may want to get in at these levels. looking strong- Z34 tomorrow?- times tip update sunday?. nancy production to start- drilling update on XXI. brazil blocks- brazil round 8 bidding coming up!. a lot going on!.

DThompson, no disrespect to you but I wouldn't invest the price of a bus ticket based on Stephanie M's interpretation of Gary Moore's words about the Peruvians. It doesn't mean there are hydrocarbons down there any more than complementing Sven Goran Eriksson on doing his best means that England won the World Cup.

Jameel - re a prospect looking "promising". Politicians make promises, but it's results that count. GOO would hardly be drilling holes if they didn't think there was much promise. Having said that, clearly the wirelines have shown sand levels that are of a type capable of bearing hydrocarbons, but they could still be dry.

Excuse my cynicism - perhaps I've spent too long at the computer today. I'm just a little suspicious of the levels of hype involved when one gets too deeply into analysing every word that falls from a director's lips. See the SEO thread if you're unsure of what this means.

soul* ... more likely too long reading my crap! .... lol!!

you said it cynic!.

where did this come from- they are big numbers for goo.

article is 2/3 days old

obviously but some may have missed it- you are starting to wind me up. is there a filter on this thread.

If this rise is held today, it looks like we might have a chart breakout at last.

pth

rns coming?

Big broker trade 1,000,000 just went through at 8p.

a few more going on b to b. somethings going on ?.

Think all hell has broken out, the mm's are fighting for stock, RNS must be imminent

well certainly pretty heavy traffic though whether there is actually a shortage of stock is questionable. certainly managed to top up (with greed!) without any prob at all and sp has not moved for the last 2/3 hours
