The hcl looks likely to come into operation over the next few months, will this improve the share price or will we have to wait for an actual PSA before any increase takes place? It looks like the UK and the US will wait until the HCL is in place first before they decide to start the pull out. I have also heard news that the contracts signed during the Saddam regime are now definitely going to be honoured. I`m not sure if this includes PET as there seems to be some doubt as to whether they qualify as their agreement wasn`t signed off by Saddam. A Swiss company has announced that they expect to be producing 200,000 barrels/pd by 2009 from their PSA with the Kurds. They have struck oil first time and have five more drills left to complete their programme. Nice if PET were in that position! Our time will come though, just a matter of hanging on in there!!

pet

last i lookde there were 10 trades executed. 2 unkown, one sell and the rest buy trades. volume of buy 37357, vol of sells 5077. you might say this speaks volume of the stance of the stock

there seem no stopping to this stock hitting its 100p target and going beyond.

note the buildup of volume mass lately.
note the rising indicators, the macd simple appear to have developed a shark like mouth ready to gobble all.
note the near 100% bullish intrady performance of yesterday and 100% intraday bullish performance of this morning! no back steps, just rises!!

Looking good for PET (1ST MOVER ADVANTAGE)

Key points from article below........

"And buyouts of smaller companies already operating in Iraq were also possible once the security situation improved, industry sources said"

"Some companies may be positioning to buy others"

Dipbob

Youre an excellent poster/researcher, the best on here I would say. But I take issue with your point above.

a) Its not good news for Pet to be taken over. Would you be happy with 5 a share or independent Pet 50 a share, eventually? Do you think DH/JT would be happy with that, too?

b) Pet, despite being liked by all Iraqis of every persuasion, it is nevertheless being backed by some powerful Iraqis group. Put yourself in their shoes: would you let another company take over oil-cow-Pet and see wealth generated for others or yourself, especially when the oil is YOURS, as an Iraqi?

c) Recall Pet had many approaches from big cos,including Shell. Yet Pet chose neutral Japanese ITOCHU, as big as other multinational and better since ITOCHU will provide EVERYTHING, INCLUDING HARDWARE AS IT MANUFACTURES THEM ITSELF?

Lastly Pet management say We remain focused on our long-standing objective of building Iraq-centred oil and gas independent.

The reality in a nutshell is: We remain focused on our long-standing objective of building an IraqIS-centred oil and gas DEPENDENT. But they cant say that, can they?

Here is the western desert pipeline for you, LOL it will be nice to have your expert comment:

American military officials, in interviews this week, spoke of maintaining perhaps four bases in Iraq that could be used in the future: one at the international airport just outside Baghdad; another at Tallil, near Nasiriya in the south; the third at an isolated airstrip called H-1 in the WESTERN DESERT, ALONG THE OLD OIL PIPELINE THAT RUNS TO JORDAN; and the last at the Bashur air field in the Kurdish north.

Puppy.agree I could sell now and realise 84.3% profit, I've not waited 3 years
for that. Pet is my biggest investment and certainly the biggest gamble I have ever made in my 47 years. I've already won (15% if in Buiding soc)so any more is a bonus.

Top Of The Morning Petrel Poppets!

I am on the move and will not be back until next week.

Just remember that there are only around 69 million Pet shares in circulation and most of those are tightly held by the directors, financial institutions and the long-term shareholders.

Any loose shares in play today came from weak holders who sold and are in short supply. If demand exceeds supply the price will rise.

Keep up the good work.

My pleasure!

To continue on my point, if we look at the volumes these last few weeks, you will notice its far far higher than we have been accustomed to, irrespective of the sudden buying in Germany. We have been seeing average of 500K shares. Plus a lot of it is small investors. Which all goes to show people are starting to come to stocks with fundamentals because of the market downturn, indeed. Note how others such VOG. EME etchave been falling while Pet has taken the opposite direction, with no apparent reason such as news. We will see more of this in the coming days/weeks, imo.

Bahouse
We certainly do not want PET to be bought out at this stage.
Perhaps if the sp.were around 30 then it would be a different situation.
In the meantime,I am holding onto my shares for long term,as PET could pull
back some of my losses over the years.

The world needs oil, as if we did not know it........
Just out , a few momintes ago........

Global oil demand in 2007 will exceed initial OPEC expectations partly because a Japanese earthquake forced power plants to close earlier this year, said the cartel in a monthly report.
OPEC added, however, that recent broader market turbulence could hurt demand
growth in the final half of this year.
OPEC pegged world oil demand at 85.72 mln bpd, up from a previous estimate
of 85.60 mln bpd.
"Given current world economic growth along with the anticipation of normal
winter, world oil demand growth for 2007 is forecast at 1.3 mln bpd, or 1.5 pct,
a slight upward revision from the last monthly report, reflecting additional oil
needs for Japanese power plants," said the report.

Bahouse,

I thank you personally for your kind comments about postings.

Its good to operate in a marketplace where there is a lot of potential for merger/acquisition isnt it as it values everything else so much more.

Just an observation....I didnt say I wanted PET to sell out did I ;-)

Like you, I want PET to:-

We remain focused on our long-standing objective of building Iraq-centred oil and gas independent.

As for the H-1 airfield...
Its very near to Haditha (major hydro-electric dam for power)
It will be used to protect the pipeline.
It will act as a defence against Syria.
It follows the vision of Henry Kissinger to pipe oil west from Iraq by running an oil pipeline from Iraq to Aqaba in Jordan (opposite the Israeli port of Eilat).
I believe this was previously promoted as well by Donald Rumsfeld.

PET are strategically very WELL PLACED are they not?

Dipbob

I am sure you would want to exchange 50 for 5 note, LOL!

Very good point there re the pipeline.

I would add ITOCHU would be the prefered contractor for rebuilding the western desert pipeline ...... add Block6 to the equation and all will come handy for everyone concerned. If US cos get involved, the pipeline rebuilding will be disrupted by the insurgency, especially as you say Israel will be the beneficiary. But the US has lost the war, see below, and thus it is not and will not be really in control on the ground. So the only option for the western desert is for a neutral cos to operate there. Recalll DH in the CH4 debate stating insurgency/tribes asking him to not to bring in mercenaries if he wanted to be left alone to work, LOL!

Cynic,

Let's see how PET trades.

10k bought @ 87.6p this morning total 8,860.10 gross - your fantasy portfolio.

PET - breaking out on GSE.150-155 euros converts 101.3p-104.7p approx.

bigboots

We all know Pet has some contracts under its wings. But 60p would be for a co producing olive oil, LOL, NOT FOR BLOODY BLACK-GOLD FROM LOWEST IRAQ OILY OCEAN!

Finn says 5 for one contract...and I believe him to be conservative, as any responssible director would be. And having met him and spoken to him on the phone, he certainly seems to be a responsible guy.

I have never seen you before, so if I want to be cynical I would say you're ramping for a quick profit! Sorry but a bit of cynicysm is a healthy thing! Because a good stock doesn't need ramping..for ramping destroys a good stock!

Closed 97p-100p. Fantasy porfolio in profit 827.40.10k @ 87p 8,860.10 worth 9,687.50.Ignoring intraday highs up +9.33% in 6 trading days.

President of the Republic announced Jalal Talabani of intent to hold meetings of the quartet and quintet leaders blocs and parties participating in the parliament and the political process from the start tomorrow, Wednesday


Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki that the forthcoming meeting would discuss " how to manage the crisis and the country and solve the problems facing the political process. " and the Prime Minister said that "there is a set of demands that must be achieved as soon as possible, and including laws relating to the work of the Chamber of Deputies, such as oil and gas and provincial law." and he added, "There are also questions of the government, appointing new ministers and ministers instead retreating from the government, and other matters within the Constitution and paragraphs required modification."

Keep ramping!!

not intending to be sniffy, but fantasy portfolios are easy to manage because there is never any fear and greed factor, so you can take any risk you like, and if it works then lovely jubbly, and if it doesn't then you can just shrug your shoulders ..... with real money, the game is dramatically changed

thus, the post about intent + all the other fine words is just that ...... is there really anyone in the world who honestly thinks there will be a half-way stable iraq government within 24 months let alone12, that will be a position to write meaningful far-reaching oil contracts and similar?

Good evening guys. Share price rising.

Information posted on this thread is for anyone interested in learning more about & researching PET.

Fantasy portfolio is for you Cynic,IF you had bought 10k @ 87p.It's called negative buying or something like that.LOL
