Bought into IVE this morning, purely on speculation only... small time though. Don't know much about them though ! in for a penny in for a pound and all that.
Got out of TPG (dead loss and falling away fast)

"My gut is telling me that we may be in for a very positive surprise ;-)")

So it would seem.

I will watch with interest, how they achieve funding in this climate will be interesting.

I go along with the thoughts that the OPEC cuts will now push oil and gas prices up to a better, more acceptable level.

Thiongs could well be about to change here.

I hope you are right.

meeeee too!

wait for oil stock numbers in US before making a move.

Exploration and production minnow Irvine Energy (IVE:AIM) has achieved first output from its recently acquired project in Oklahoma. At 600 million cubic feet of gas a day, production is still relatively modest but the company is hopeful of increasing output by many multiples in the medium-term.

Along with its partner Metro Energy the firm is currently working up the 111,250 acres it owns in Oklahoma and Kansas. Irvine is focused on drilling shallow wells, targeting conventional reserves alongside shale gas and coal bed methane, for which there is good rig availability at a reasonable price.

The group plans to drill a total of 90 wells across the whole of its acreage by the end of 2009 and expects both its Niobara and Kansas oil projects to be on stream by the end of the first half.

IVE suspended. Doesn't look good.

No...it stinks...planning for the worse...have written these off now...if the come back it'll be at a much lower sp...very disappointing!

Bad news which I could well do without.

Seems to have crashed and may be about to burn, just when things looked to be turning around.

Don't suppose the deflated price of gas has helped much, but then I did highlight reduced revenues from that, they are overstretched because of that imo.

May be able to turn it around with more equity perhaps.

Bad luck to holders, we all find ourselves in this or a similar position from time to time.
