About Aurelian

Aurelian was founded in 2002 by its current managing director, Michael Seymour. It concentrates its activities in the Central Europe Region, where Mr. Seymour, together with many of his present Team, have worked for more than thirteen years.
The Company's expertise and Strategy lies in identifying and developing sound projects within its region of focus and expertise. Applying an aggressive exploration programme and conducting high quality technical work to it's projects, Aurelian is building a balanced portfolio which includes production, appraisal and exploration Projects.

Current Projects span the Region from Poland to Bulgaria, now with production in Romania, a deep appraisal well to be drilled on a large structure in Poland in March 2007, together with exciting exploration prospects including projects in four countries, Romania (4 blocks), Slovakia (3 blocks), Bulgaria (2 blocks) and Poland (2 blocks). Aurelian is the operator in all of these except Bulgaria. Details are provided elsewhere on this site.

Aurelian's exploration and development programme is well funded for the foreseeable future. The company has a committed management team with in-depth experience of the region, and the broad base of expertise required to identify and develop the company's business and value.

Regional Strategy

Aurelian focuses its activities in Central Europe, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean. This region is the oldest producing oil province in the world. First oil was mined here in the early centuries of the last millennium and was first developed commercially as early as 1853 when the first well ever was drilled. The Company's area of focus covers the whole of the area from Poland and the Baltic states, to the Mediterranean. We will continue to apply for concessions in this area. It is hoped that further awards will be announced before the end of the year.




Outlook

Aurelian has an aggressive and ambitious exploration programme. Seismic will be acquired in all the countries where the company currently operates. Low risk exploration wells will be drilled in Romania and deeper higher impact wells are being drilled in Poland and Bulgaria in 2007. Production from discoveries will be developed to produce revenues in 2008 and beyond. Aurelian plans to become a leading "independent" by the end of the decade.

New article and analysis

Worth looking at?

Recent chunky director buy and an all time high breakout.

Agree with you ptholden. Bought my shares at 59p not long after the last share placing. Sainsbury and Sorus have large interests here. One to hold and watch. Could pay off well. (sp69p)

Entered the fray yesterday Gus, still trying to get my head round all the activity. I bought mainly on the breakout but prospects look good. Reminds me of AFR to a small degree, proven reserves and continuation of exploration with partners.

Up 10% today :)

Yes one to be patient with ptholden. I think we have got in early enough. Should be an interesting 2011 with this one. (sp78p)

Closed up 15% on more than double the average volume without news. Just Gus and myself expressing an interest thus far.

Some chunky trades gone through today, so perhaps news has leaked. I'm assuming if indeed there is anything to report the news will be an update on the Siekierki gas project flow test, although may be a little early.

On the other hand perhaps the rise is due to clever manipulation of the order book and the chunky trades are sells following the recent placing, guess we'll find out soon enough.

Ramper :-)

Oh I beg to differ ptholden,Dil seems interested. lol

10 by Xmas Dil, fill yer boots!

good morning peter .... you'd better be right after your bullying tactics yesterday evening!

Been in for a couple of months....looking good....

Ah, all the worms coming out of the woodwork! Lol

Rampity ramp :)

Disappointing day after a good start, see what tomorrow brings, but wouldn't be surprised to see something of a retrace.

Previous post was clearly wrong. SP continues it's upward steady march :)

Testing going on in Poland now....probably...plus oil and gas prices very firm....

lol! ..... at least my modest holding is now in the money
