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

I chose the ARG route. Not keen on DES as nothing material yet to support the sp.

Harry they have found oil and gas,any deal done with RKH has got to be done with Desire.

ARG? Johnson prospect? i cant see why the Price of ARG has gone up i still hold a few but at a loss why the SP is where it is.

That's not quite true marky. There are areas which are 100% owned by RKH. It is not a foregone conclusion that the co-owned areas are going to interest the big boys.

Sea Lion extends in to Desires acreage and Desire hold X amount of barrels i don’t think it is possible if interested to only to deal with RKH as Desire owns a percentage of Sea Lion.

A bit like Johnson prospect both ARG and RKH both own a percentage and it could be very valuable when drilled at a later date to both.

Desire on the break out now following RKH

please re-post your chart then!
from your comment, "red" is clearly DES, but no idea who "blue" is

Blue is RKH........

Bcc news tonight 8 minutes all about the Falklands,good PR

DES is disinclined to go anywhere north at the moment

We are at 31p again......will it breakout this time......come on Desire!!!!

Knocking on the door of 31p early today,will it break past it as it goes backwards at 31p.....

Come on Desire!!!!! make my day

Well its been knocking on the door now for weeks at least we have a breakout now.....take over talk will push this higher in the coming weeks.

A very strong finish by Desire today up 17% with 10 million traded, plenty of rumours circulating also to add more speculation to a deal been done by an American oil company, i see that Republican Congressman F. Jim Sensenbrenner who is in the Falklands for 6 days…..tum to tum I wonder why.

What's the big deal here.....it has nothing...or a little bit of sealion, and that's not sure....

Taken from marlonmonkey

What is DES actually worth?

Firstly:

1) Sealion extension and Casper west Oil

30mmbs-40mmbs RESERVES.....

2) Casper South and Beverley OIL

Up to 75mmbs Contingent Resource

3) Casper/Beverley/Liz GAS/Gas condensate

3-5-10 TCF Contingent Resource

4) Jayne/Anna/Elaine 25-30% COS F3 plays

500mmbs plus

5) Ann, Pam, Helen decent COS prospects

700mmbs

6) some proper wildcats....Alpha et al

£1 a share for a take-out....if you develop 1-3 it's good business, if any of 3-6 came in..it was a steal.

NAPE Presentation

.Desire Petroleum: Your questions answered
By Stephen McDowell | Fri, 24/02/2012 - 16:01

There is a lot of waiting in the oil drilling game and 2012, while an exciting prospect, is no exception for Desire Petroleum (DES).

Answering Interactive Investor users' questions at the North American Prospect Expo (NAPE) in Houston the firm's explorations director Ken Black confirmed the firm has put its 2011 cash crisis behind it and remains well enough funded to see through existing projects and the hunt for any future rights.

Asked why the company had failed to raise sufficient funds to drill when the Ocean Guardian drilling rig was on site he replied: "We'd loved to have done of course, but the timing wasn't right in terms of market conditions."

Discussing prospects for Desire in the coming year Black said: "We have already said that we have new seismic data which we will be interpreting over the next three to six months. This will be completely updated on all of our licences."

As for the short-term, Black said he was unable to elaborate on this week's RNS announcement that an updated Competent Persons Report is due and will incorporate the 14/15-4a well results.

Interactive Investor user question: Rockhopper currently have their data open and are in discussions with potential farm-in partners but are Desire active in these discussion due to their part ownership of Sea Lion?

Black: "Rockhopper are engaged in their own farm-out process and we are not a party to those discussions. But we have a small stake in the Sea Lion field and so at some stage it requires our involvement."

Interactive Investor user: Has the company considered a farm-in in 2011? And what kind of deal would Desire seek if it were in Rockhopper's (RKH) position with a genuine discovery?

Black: "Yes, a potential farm-in was considered but the view was that the market wasn't right at that time." He added: "It would seem likely that a third party is going to get in with Rockhopper and that third party would be equally likely to take a holistic look at the region, but that is just my view."

Interactive Investor user: Why does the company not interact more with shareholders?

Black: "I'm unaware we were considered poor communicators. We have an obligation to put into the public domain any information which is price sensitive in a timely manner. I believe we fulfill that obligation."

Interactive Investor user: Can you tell us more about the Arcadia/Denholm Project?

Black: "The situation hasn't changed on the licence and we do view it as being drillable as and when funds are available, and of course the rig."

In closing, Black acknowledged the hunger of Desire's loyal shareholders for information.

He said: "Of course I can't say anything which isn't in the public domain but 2012 is going to be an exciting year for us. It is important that we see a solution for (Rockhopper's) Sea Lion development and when that happens I think it would be an appropriate time for us to get involved."

"I can see that happening this year. In the course of things it would normally be around a six month timeframe."

Been selling some other shares today to re top up in Desire, I am hoping for news this month from RKH and DES.

Desire is now my largest holding, hoping I don’t get burnt again.

DES are certainly looking perky today for some reason.

Morning Chav,will give you a bell later if your back from down the mine.

Plenty of buying today....perky a good word.

Twas warmer down the mine Marky but nice to have some sun in the Valley this morning.
