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

Hi Eddie and All

Good call yesterday and the share price has risen i think the people who sold some of there shares now to buy the ones at 45p have done that and we should see the price start to tick up.

ENN had a good day Eddie

Eddie

An update on the rockhopper web site about the Farn-out deal, they state we should be drilling within 1 year .

Hi all

The candles that we see from Friday last to todays, are in a short term up trend. This could change tomorrow, if we have another increase. The last two candles that we have, had lows of 0.525p. This is called a tweezers bottom with peircing pattern. If DES goes up tomorrow then we have confirmation of this being the bottom. The resistance is at about 0.60p, so the risk vs rewards are stacked in favour of reward ! So all being well DES should rise again tomorrow. If DES goes through the 0.60p we will have a break out ! This will be absolutly FAN-tastic !

DES is now sat above the 10 day moving average !





Thanks markymar, ehall


Good Luck All

Well I take no pleasure in saying it but I did tell you so. This share is a dog with fleas. It is fanciful to imagine the share price shooting up into the stratosphere of new found wealth but the plain fact is it will never do so. It has a history for disappointing and I fear that trend will continue for quite some time yet. My advice, and good advice it most certainly is, is to bail out now -while the price is still over 50p. It wont be there too much longer!!!

If you want a share that will make you money try Kenmare Resources (KMR). It has a solid business model with sound infrastructure and brilliant forward earnings potential.

Can you please tell me pro where you get your findings about Desire for your posting

What has Pro to gain by negative postings based on nothing?

'a dog with fleas' my arse! that why its up 400% in the 12 months! just raised 16 million from insitutions, who quite obviously disagree with the flea theory. oh.. and within the next 12months will be drilling in the falklands for a possible 2 billion barrels of 'recoverable' oil.

pro (fessional) deramper me thinks!

It does seem a bit unsubstantiated to advise selling without any other reason than there not being a 'stratospheric' share price rise. The old adage rome was not built in a day. Negatives aside, IMHO, DES has responded remarkably to an issue of 30mil odd shares. Would it be fair to assume 45p as the short-term support?

Hi tau, I guess it could be, it would be disaster for the open offer if it fell below 45p. I am hopefull that 50p will be bottom here until either the placing is over or we hear more about partners or rigs.

Pro, could you please let us know what your advice is based upon? It is healthy to have two sides to a debate but there are no hard facts from you for us to consider. Without these how can anyone make rational decisions? Sorry, but A dog with fleas doesnt help me. Even if, in your opinion, this is the case about this share, then to be honest, I quite like this "dog" because given all the information and facts that are currently available to us all, 50p will be a bargain before long. Once the share issue is over next month, we can confidently expect DES to track inexorably northwards.

Risk value = 394!!! Makes no money ...er, except from new issues!!! As I write, todays stats = Buys() 93,244 Sells() 318,412 Share price down 0.91%. Seems I'm not the only one looking down from a great height at DES!!!

Pro as far I am concerned you can stick your risk figures up your arse. I am backing a winner!

Pro,
The latest RNS quoted the size of the prospects identified by the 2D and 3D seismic surveys as being in excess of 2 billion barrels of RECOVERABLE oil. If Desire get $35 a barrel this could mean:

2,000,000,000 X $35 = $70,000,000,000.00

Divided by 220,000,000 shares (after Placing/Open Offer) =

$318.18 divided by 1.80 to convert to sterling = 176.76 a share. Thanks for the calcs Minnows! Even if DES was taken over and got $5 per barrel I'd be very happy.
Whatever the outcome the current share price is indeed "peanuts".

I agree they have got to go and get the stuff first but this share will soon have zero's like fleas and I'm happy with that prospect.

well said jp
i had calculated the possible max worth
along the same lines but was
afraid to post incase people thought
i was mad
notwithstanding all that .45p - 176.00
is a fair spread 5.00 would be good 50 we could all
retire ( getting a bit carried away now )
as for a dog with fleas drown the dog and the fleas go away
the dog and fleas poster is the mad one

Obviously the calcs are very rough and ready and do not take into account production costs, tax etc, but even so, you get the drift! DES is a winner in the wings waiting to happen.
regards

nice posting today..... what is clear is the potential becomes apparent when the calculation is done and that is why we are all posting and fighting the DES corner. Time will tell, thats why we are all in and holding. IMO after the placing has taken place and the dust has settled more calculations will be done by more buyers..

Hi all

Well we didn't get the bounce today. The market has tested the support level again though. The candle that came out on Friday closed at 0.5275p. If you look at todays close it was at 0.5275p. Also look where the candles are sitting, they are on top of the 10 day moving average. They have not been on top of this average for 20 days. The candles are just below the 20 day moving average. The market has been testing this level for the last three days. Chances are then the bounce may come tomorrow. If you draw a line from the bottom of shaddow on Thursdays candle to the bottom of todays candle. This will give you the short trend, which like the main trend is up !





Lots of positive postings today !

Good Luck All

Hi All first post here. Gaelic/DES holder for more than 12 years. Post on iii and advfn. Markymar reccomended I listen in here as iii has so much rubbish on at the moment. My latest post was some light relief..... so from iii board.... Reference is to the EGM at Seymour P. Queen Victoria Street.


some might find this interesting. I traveled to school along QVst in the 50s and early 60s. It runs from the Mansion House to Blackfriars Bridge.

I used to play on the ruins of the buildings lying between St Pauls and the river the famous Blitz photo of St Pauls standing out from the smoke and flames. We found quite a few treasures under the rubble. Im hoping our treasures will come from Seymour P.

From the top of a bus I watched them being rebuilt, and the discovery and excavation of the temple of Mithras - Any and every prayer to see DES succeed greatly appreciated!

Sir Thomas Moore used to walk down the city end of the street to go to church. He was a man willing to die for what he believed - A good example for all DES holders

The College of Arms is on the North side of the street towards Blackfriars they are more than happy to draw up a personal coat of arms for all successful DES holders - Quartered with an oil rig, gusher, barrel and Phipps with Penguins Rampant purchasing the rights to be Lord of the Manor is quite easy!

I watched as Sir Bernard Miles saw his vision for a theatre in the city, - The Mermaid - being completed. one of my children took part in some shows. The original theatre, Blackfriars Theatre, was built on the site of the original monastery estate. Shakespeare wrote and Babbage, the Olivier of his day, owned the site and acted there. What a Drama is being acted out this year, will it be a full house or a flop?

The Blackfriars were the Dominicans sometimes called the Popes Dogs of War and hated in the late middle ages for being the enforcers of church discipline. I am quite sure that politics is involved with NFB and so not too much fuss about finding riches there - it will upset the neighbours!

The Divorce hearing of Catherine of Aragon and Henry VIII was held in the Monastery. How to spend money is a major cause of marital disharmony! Lets keep the fairer sex ignorant of how well we do. Harmony is in their best interest after all . Isnt it?

Opposite Blackfriars is a good pub behind which are some narrow streets. Here Shakespeare purchased and extended a house as a safe house for his fellow Catholics the al-Qaeda of his day. The original house is gone but the layout of the streets is largely the same Ireland Yard which Shakerspeare overlooked is still there. DES holders will be able to pull down their daub and wattle shacks and build houses of brick and stone in the grand open lands of Essex,.

Shakespeares acquaintance the Earl of Essex, the queens favourite, lost his head after specifically asking for a performance of Richard II against the wishes of Good Queen Bess it shows the deposition of a king and played the night before his attempt to take the throne. He was so vain and took so long making himself look smart that when he marched along the route towards Westminster he was blocked by the London Militia he panicked and fled - Des Holders, dont lose your head, dont be so vain as to think you know more than you do,s wait until events unfold waiting is so hard to do!

I used to row with the sea scouts an old Navy whaler from Blackfriars bridge. We were evicted when they discovered some Roman docks and a ship while building the new underpass to Westminster- more great underwater discoveries to come

Finally, it was under Blackfriars bridge that the Italian Banker, Calvi, was found hanged In the event of our investments not producing as we hope, not a good idea to follow his example hanging can seriously damage your health after all its only money!.

However I hope we will be up the other end of QVS where we will have our own Mansion House and host a great Spivs bash.


My kids would long ago been shouting O shut up dad boorrrrrrriinnngggg!

Regards to all

(BusterDid on iii)
