Monterey appraisal well suspended pending Wintershall evaluation. 1/12/06
BLR and Kappa in dispute.
BLR to meet with Kappa within next two weeks 1/12/06

sure do! ..... though i did not have the balls to short this stock, i have been saying for many months that these super-viscous heavy oils are bad news in all sorts of ways as are the companies that try to extract them

Sky, Hi.

I got out yesterday at a loss, should have done it sooner but got caught in the 'headlights of hope'.

Anyway, for what it's worth I have had two share consolidations in my portfolio in the last year and each has resulted in a post consolidation position at least 40% lower in share value from the time the consolidation notice was posted. Not saying that this will happen here, but I am not willing to take that chance. I will watch from the sidelines for now and put my money to better use in the near term.

Just to put a bit of balance into the share consolidation deal. I have held NOP from before their consolidation of 1 for 5 and have been very happy with the outcome regarding that one and hopefully this may end up the same way although undoubtedly a bigger gamble than NOP.

Just sold my lot..had anough..lost too much already, should have done it along time ago.. now looking for a new home for my measly 600..
good luck to those staying with BLR

vialogy may be worth considering

access intelligence is better and at least they make a profit. definately getting out of oil explorers and into data storage and solutions (ACC) just bought at 5.71

Already in ACC, having topped up recently...5.71 is a good sp to get in at for these...good company and ready for lift - off ! (imho).

For better or worse I've stuck my BLR 600 preceeds into SFX.. the're currently running at a discount to a recent .005p placing so I topped up on them.. should get news soon on disposal and new direction..they can only improve (imho)

sky+john ..... go to the ACC thread and have a look at the VILE chart now attached

Legged it out of this lot last week, 'sooner rather than later would have been the better option'.
On the conslidation front I have seen three of my shares over the last 2 years in this postion.
The result has been poor consolidation position at least 45% to 30% lower in value.
I am sure that some consolidations must go against the norm i.e lower value but for me this one looks even worse.
More lucrative shares else where.

Black Rock Oil & Gas PLC

Drilling Update


Black Rock Oil and Gas PLC ("Black Rock" or the "Company"; stock code: BLR), the
AIM-listed oil and gas exploration and production company, announces that the
Acacia Este exploration well in the Las Quinchas Association Contract in
Colombia was spudded by its joint venture operator, Kappa Resources Colombia
Limited ("Kappa") on Saturday, 30 June 2007 and drilling operations are
underway.


Acacia Este is a low-risk prospect on trend with the Arce Field that is
currently under long-term production test. Other fields on trend include the
prolific Chicala and Velasquez fields. The Directors expect the well to take
20-30 days to drill, test and complete.


The Directors of Black Rock believe that Acacia Este is one of the best
exploration prospects in the Las Quinchas Association Contract. If the Acacia
Este well is a discovery, Black Rock will propose to Kappa the implementation of
a fast-track appraisal programme to define the boundaries of the prospect and
prove up the reserves ahead of a full commercial development.


As announced earlier this year, Black Rock has now fulfilled all its obligations
under the farm-in agreement with the field operator, Kappa, for the Las Quinchas
Association Contract in Colombia and is now working with Kappa to submit an
application for the assignment of its 50% interest for consideration by
Ecopetrol, the National Oil Company of Colombia.


Dr John Cubitt, Managing Director of Black Rock Oil & Gas plc, commented:


"The spudding of Acacia Este has been eagerly awaited as it represents a
potentially high impact exploration prospect. It forms part of an extensive
portfolio of exploration and appraisal prospects in Colombia that Black Rock is
currently evaluating with our joint venture partner, Kappa."

You may all be right getting out but I am in for the longterm just as I was with CPNR and if BLR do half as well I will be happy!
This next month or two is the make or break time for BLR but my hunch is it will be a good few months for BLR as they are producing from Arce and Acacia is being drilled and Monterey could well still be viable according to Wintershall. Not bad for a company valued at 6 million!

Not a bad price on heavy at the moment either.

Just a shame they ain't got any ......YET

Is this better or worse than expectations, considering a flutter ?

Acacia Este Oil Discovery


On 3 July 2007 Black Rock Oil & Gas Plc ('Black Rock' or the 'Company', stock
code: BLR), the AIM-traded oil and gas exploration and production company,
announced that the Acacia Este exploration well in the Las Quinchas Association
Contract in Colombia had been spudded by its joint venture operator, Kappa
Resources Colombia Limited ('Kappa') on Saturday, 30 June 2007 and that drilling
operations were underway.

Acacia Este was drilled to a total depth of 3,970 feet. Fair to good oil shows
were encountered whist drilling the target Lower Mugrosa Formation.

The Board of Black Rock is delighted to announce that preliminary interpretation
of the logs run at total depth indicates oil saturation in good quality porous
sandstones.

These initial results are very encouraging and preparation for testing of the
well has now commenced in order to assess the well's potential productivity.
Results of the testing should be known in approximately 10-20 days time.

Dr John Cubitt, Managing Director of Black Rock Oil & Gas Plc, commented:

'The results of the drilling to date are very encouraging and if the testing
results are positive, Acacia Este could be a highly significant discovery for
Black Rock.'

Well, bought at open for 37 sold after 15 mins for 43, so not going to get stung by the o+g bee. How do you go about trading in the auction anyone as that seems the best way to trade morning announcements?

Looks like every one has gone?

hello driver thought I was talking to myself for a while.

Where have all the doubting thomas' gone........?

Not gone, I just think that most of us don't check this stock on a daily basis, I know I don't. Just noticed the rather sharp rise and RNS. Looks good to me and will continue to hold no matter what the outcome.
