Company Profile

Taghmen Energy is an independent oil and gas exploration, development and production company which listed on Londons AIM market in January 2005. It is focused on Latin America and has assembled a group of assets in Central America.

Key Points:

Exploration focus is shifting to new hydrocarbon destinations.
Maturing fields in traditional oil producing regions such as the Persian Gulf and the North Sea have prompted companies to seek alternative destinations for hydrocarbon reserves. As a result, there has been a notable increase in exploration activity amongst the former Soviet Union, Latin/Central America and West Africa regions due to their under-exploited reserves. Much of future oil and gas production is expected to come from these emerging hydrocarbon regions.

... and to the development of smaller fields
With the notable exception of those in the former Soviet Union, new regions however offer relatively smaller fields. Their economics make them distinctly attractive for smaller companies but unattractive for the majors. This has prompted larger companies to focus on production, leaving exploration and development of hydrocarbon reserves with smaller companies. Taghmen characterises these emerging exploration trends in the oil and gas sector.

Corporate strategy entails both exploration and production
What is unique with Taghmen is its intent to be engaged in subsequent production as well. Most exploration companies seek to exit upon the prove-up of their reserves through an asset sale to a larger company. Taghmens intent to be a company maker makes it more selective in licence acquisition. It also offers more comfort regarding the reserve potential of its licence areas.

... and is en route to be implemented through an acquisition
Taghmen is in the process of finalizing the acquisition of Petroleos del Norte S.A. (PDN), a Colombian company that operates three fields close to Taghmens licence areas. The proposed acquisition would provide Taghmen with a larger exploration reserve base, a pipeline infrastructure and some producing assets. This reiterates Taghmens commitment to be a producing company rather than a pure exploration play.

High energy prices underpin the profitability of exploration
Rising demand for energy from fast growing economies such as China and the uncertainty in key oil producing regions are likely to keep world energy prices high. This has reduced the risk profile of exploration projects considerably. Current oil prices make even smaller fields financially viable.

Latin/Central American governments are keen to develop their reserves
As the energy needs of these countries mount, the need to develop their hydrocarbon resources has gained eloquence. Governments are keenly seeking foreign investment and have adopted several policy decisions to attract them to their respective countries. Colombia and Guatemala are no exceptions. Taghmen benefits from these developments

Research report (12th May 2006) on TAG in the link below :

Here is the comment from Nick Gay -

"please find a research report prepared by objective capital on taghmen.This covers our existing asset base,but does not take into account any impact of the PDN acquisition.Objective capital has also applied its own conservative geological risk factors to the various prospects.Having done this,they calculate a value for the assets of $84.3 million,well in excess of the current stock market valuation.Removing their risk factors indicates a value of $746.7 million.We obviously have a lot to play for !"

Nothing new apart from Seymour Pierce being appointed.

Now that A7-2005 license is firmed up and confirmed, this means that a few paperwork issues need to be cleared and then work can commence on Tortugas/Atzam wells, so some time February I would guess (same time as sidetrack on well 1X) which will make March/April big months for news.

All we have to do now is wait for the normal commercial flow rate for 3X to be obtained, approved and verified, and then we will have our news to base some cash generation figures on, so more news to come this month (how far they are at present I do not know, could be days or weeks away)

Nice to see a tick up today.

We all still wait for the flow rates from 3X, but patience is key here, the flow rates take time to check, quite a few weeks, and TAG will not want incorrect ones, so the time taken will be the full time, no short cuts, and the flow rating will be one that should only be raised in future, not lowered.

Too many companies rush out new well figures, only to have to lower them a few months later. Good to see TAG doing the right thing, even if it means we have to wait and wait for news on the final flow rates.

Moving up and looking strong again, just changed to 3 v 1.

Nice to see this moving up again,i have posted a piece from Emerald Energy Colombian operations update and by looking at that you can see Taghmen have a much higher quality oil and larger amount of barrels recovered during swabbing.
I do wonder how long we will have to wait as this piece is from 8th November and still no news is forth coming as regards their flow rates.

Operations Update

Emerald Energy Plc ("Emerald" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the
following update:

Emeralds first exploration well on the Fortuna block, Silfide #1, has been
drilled to a total depth of 5,114ft and 12ft of net pay identified in the Umir
formation using wireline logs. The well has been cased and a production test has
recovered 38 barrels of 16.2 API gravity oil during swabbing operations,

A good post DB66 ! TAG have only perforated 1 pay zone of the three, and swabbed 40 API at 100 bopd per day !

The chart is looking strong too, a move up and then news would be very nice.

Building up and ticking up :)

On line limits looking strong.

buy: 1,000 shares
sell: 10,000 shares

Termination of Farm In

Taghmen regrets to announce that despite having agreed in principle terms for
the extension of the completion date for the farm-in to a 50% interest in new
licences in Belize (Block 19) and Guatemala (licence 7-98), announced on 14th
November 2005, the current owner has now advised Taghmen that their offer has
been withdrawn . The proposed farm in deal has therefore terminated.

Nicholas Gay, Chief Executive, commented:

'Whilst it is disappointing that the current owner has withdrawn from this
farm-in deal, we will continue with our strategy of pursuing opportunities in
Latin America and exploring and developing our existing assets in Guatemala.'

10th January 2006

Ah well, the jam tomorrow Belize Block 19 is out at the moment then, but on the plus side it means they save quite a bit of money. At this stage, its probably for the better :)

Bit of a "dissapointment" the jam tomorrow potential of Belize Block 19 is gone, but it was only "potential" and the deal was never finalised. But there are thousands more "jam" exploration area's out there, so no worries there.

The SP hardly moved on the farm in agreement, mostly due to the fact it was going to cost more money due to the requirement of TAG to pay for the seismic work and others. In fact, you will likely find it did not move at all on this farm in agreement.

Do not forget, it was only agreement pending due dilligence and terms, its never been actual, and its just not got past the terms stage, so where is the big problem with that ?

Terms were supposed to be agreed by Dec 31st 2005, that past and nobody cared of even noticed !, until TAG said that discussion had been extended to Jan 31st recently.

If they were being requested to pay more, and put more in in financial terms, and refused, then I am happy with that if they are not going to get ripped off.

Roll on 3X news.

Given the SP fell after the Nov 14th farm in news during the period about 4 days afterwards of the 14th Nov RNS, we should be looking at a rise now, as short term funding requirement is reduced.

Millennium have faith :) and its always good to see yet again existing holders taking more, especially as its higher than they originally paid for their first lot of shares, very much a case of topping up.

Notes to Editors

Taghmen listed on AIM in January 2005. Its current oil and gas assets in
Guatemala comprise the Las Casas 6-93 concession covering 130,186 hectares in
the Peten Basin of Guatemala which, based on a recent independent evaluation, is estimated to contain potential gross reserves of approximately 29.6 million
barrels.

Additionally Taghmen was awarded Licence A7-2005 (Tortugas/Atzam) in September 2005. This licence has a 25 year contract consisting of a 6 year exploration licence convertible to an exploitation licence at Taghmen's option. The size of the acreage is approximately 77,718 acres and is located in the north-western corner of Guatemala.

With seismic to be done on Las Casas and A7-2005 in January, and sidetrack, workovers and new drilling planned for February onwards, its a case of taking a best guess as to when the update will be done, it will either be early/mid Feb and along with news on commencement dates for 1X workover and A7-2005 work, or end February/early March once sidetrack/workovers etc....have commenced.

That does not help to people planning to ride the news wave, but for holders for the long term it means late Feb/Mar/Apr and onwards will have some plentiful happenings and news flow.

Fund raising as we know will take place in Q1 and similar format to Millennium no doubt, from Q2 onwards 3X will be generating cash, to then be followed by the other wells.

In 2006 there should be ;

For Las Casas license

Sidetrack of Las Casas 1X
Drill of Las Casas 4X
Drill of Huapec 2X

For A7-2005 license

Workover of Atzam 2
Workover of Tortugas 4
Workover of Tortugas 5
New well 05-1
New well 05-2
New well 05-3
New well 05-4

So potential is for 10 more wells to come on line and producing in 2006 as additional revenue sources to the initial 3X well.

A little tick up today on some light buying so far.

25K T trade buy and then a 24K buy at 61p (a penny over the offer).

I think news, when it comes (and yes it may be a few more weeks yet) but when it comes, it will not be disappointing, I think so ;)

Some people have been asking what price the oil will be worth, so this will help explain :


The type of oil we are looking at for 3X will be API40 and sulfur above 0.5 so this will be similar to Mexican "OLMECA".

This is the good news !!!!

Once its goes above API 38 its called Lighter Oil (or Superlight), which is better than Light oil.

Maya is heavy, Istmo is light and Olmeca is extra light, and in this case 3X looks like it will produce high quality Olmeca.

So what price is that ? Well here is last years average price, and its rising even more now :)

"From January-November 2005 Maya crude oil registered an average price of US$40.35/b, Istmo crude oil averaged US53.07/b and Olmeca crude averaged US$53.72/b."

So now you see why Nick Gay said it can command "highest prices" as its Olmeca.

To add some more speculative but effective reasoning into this ;

1/ API 40 crude is superlight, and not viscose, so where a well that has API 20 or API 25 could well have low flow rates, a well with super light API 40 would have high flow rates.

To explain this for a pumped well : a well has pay zones, and in the pay zone are perforations which the oil flows through into the well shaft, to then be pumped to the surface. As with any liquid, the more viscose (lower API) the slower it will penetrate through the perforations, and the slower it will fill the well shaft, meaning that it has to be pumped at slow rates, like 100 bopd, 250 bopd.
Now, with a very easy flowing high API oil, it will flow easily through the perforations into the shaft, and allow high pumping rates = high flow rates.


2/ Acidisation has been performed on the well, and we take it that this was a success, this means the perforations are now larger, and combined with a low viscosity API 40 oil this will give high flow rates (this is why even at just swabbing there was 100 bopd).


3/ 500 bopd is a target rate, but without being over indulgent, this well could really flow anywhere between 500 and 2500 bopd, if we get 500 bopd its a job well done, over that and its all positive stuff.

500 bopd of "Olemca" would be fine and job done, but think of the real upside of anything over 500 bopd.

Owing to the proximities of Mexico and Guatemala, and that the reef formation is one and the same then you can look at Pemex and Mexican crude types as guides to Guatemala.

Crude Varieties

Most of Mexico's crude oil production consists of heavy crude varieties. During 2004, 73 percent of the country's crude oil production was of Maya, with 22 API and 3.5-4.0 percent sulfur content. The country also produces two lighter crude streams, Isthmus (34 API) and Olmeca (39 API). In general, Mexico retains most lighter crude streams for domestic consumption: during the first nine months of 2005, Mexico only exported 29 percent of non-Maya crude oil production, versus exporting 63 percent of Maya production.


The crude oil recovered can be light or heavy as follows:

Heavy crude oil. Crude oil with API density less or equal than 27.

Light crude oil. Crude oil with API density range from 27 to 38.

Lighter crude oil. C rude oil with API density higher than 38.

Regarding crude oil marketing, Mexico exports three varieties with the following typical characteristics:

MAYA Heavy crude oil, 22API density and 3.3 weight % sulfur.

ISTMO Light crude oil, 33.6API density and 1.3 weight % sulfur.

OLMECA Very light crude oil, 39.3API density and 0.8 weight % sulfur.

As sulfur content is above 0.5% you can see Mexico and this region produces "sour" oil.

The following link will show what prices were available for Olmeca type and how its rising up very nicely just as 3X is starting to be pumped out of 40 API low sulfur Olemca type :)
