VICTORY 1-21 SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED


Meridian, the oil & gas exploration and production company with key assets in
the USA and Australia today announced that the Victory 1-21 production well (10%
WI) has been successfully deepened in order to further penetrate a Niagaran
reef.

Using a coiled tubing unit and conventional work over rig, Total Depth was
reached at 4,394 feet and gas communication was made between 4,161 feet and
4,192 feet, an increase of approximately 31 feet in net pay. The well was
treated with acid to stimulate flow and is currently being swabbed to remove
remaining acid from the well bore following which the well will be put back on
line this week. It is anticipated that enhanced production rates will be gained
from the additional pay sections in the reservoir.

Anthony Mason, Chief Executive of Meridian said:

'The successful deepening of Victory 1-21 is good news for Meridian. The well
will be back on line this week, following which Meridian will resume receiving
income from Victory 1-21. We are now looking forward to the imminent completion
on Calvin 36.'

Don Caldwell, a certified petroleum geologist, is the Company's Qualified Person
and has reviewed the information in this announcement.

In a news release the Minister has stated: 'The Arrowie Basin deal is the first
time that the Adnyamathanha people have signed a land access agreement for
petroleum exploration, subsequent development and production, and I congratulate them,'

Tony Mason, CEO, Meridian, has commented 'This is an extremely significant event for Meridian as it marks the end of 3 years of hard work by the Company to reach this stage. Now that we have the Native Title agreed, we will continue with

begin in Q4 2007.'

The ECL Scott Pickford reserve summary on the Dolores prospect gave a P2
Prospective Resource volume of 540 Bcf GIP. The Dolores resource is located
approximately 40 km from the Moomba to Adelaide pipeline.

haven't followed this stock for ages, but an interesting chart always provided sp does not plunge through 25+50 dma (coinciding now) and 200 dma at 20 .... it shouldn't! .... that being so, expect decent support here and thus effectively a pretty good buying opportunity, thoug the more cautious may want to see a decent bounce first.

will open 26p tomoro>>>>>>32p close

Great news for Meridian Petroleum as they sign an agreement with the Adnyamathanha people that allows the Petroleum Exploration Licence in relation to the Dolores Prospect in the Arrowie Basin, South Australia to be offered to Meridian.

Details can be found at shareclubuk.co.uk the agreement will allow Meridian to

Meridian Petroleum, operations update come with a shed load of information. Money in the bank. Brammer had over-billed Meridian by some $89,953.22. its a sad state of affairs when Meridian could only get there money through legal action. The full report can be found at shareclubuk.co.uk. The demand for Oil and Gas is always strong.. With oil prices on the brink of increases which will benefit both Meridian and there investors.

their investors

market severely underwhelmed ..... if sp does not bounce off 200 dma, then holders could be taking a(nother) bath

its an oil/gas minnow... aaaaaaaargh

Calvin Field Update

Meridian Petroleum, the oil and gas exploration and production company with key
assets in the USA and Australia announces that its Calvin 36 #1 well located in
the Calvin Field, Winn Parish, Louisiana has undergone treatment to prepare it
for gas production.

On Tuesday 8 May the well was treated with a nitrogen wash to remove any
potential obstructions to gas flow in and around the area of the slotted
liner by the producing zone within the well bore. The treatment was successful
and some residue was removed from the producing zone area. Additionally, the
resulting gas pressure build up and flow back post the removal of the Nitrogen
was satisfactory for commercial production purposes.

On Wednesday 9 May a swabbing unit was used to remove fluid from the well bore, including the water previously used to 'kill' the well. Again, the resulting
pressure build and flow back of gas from the reservoir were found to be
satisfactory for commercial production purposes, and there appeared to have been
no additional water ingress moving into the well bore.


Swabbing was completed on Thursday 10 May with no additional fluids being
recovered. Given the satisfactory nature of the gas pressure build up and
prospective flow rate, the Company is now in the process of finalizing
arrangements with Smith Operating of Shreveport, Louisiana to tie the well into
the local Calvin Field gas processing and transportation system.


The gas contains approximately 10.187% CO2 and so must be processed in order to remove the CO2 before it can be sold into the grid. The Calvin Field gas
processing and transportation system includes a CO2 knockout facility, and so
will provide the quickest and most efficient processing of the gas and removal
of the CO2.

Tony Mason, Chief Executive Officer stated, 'The final steps towards getting
Calvin 36 #1 into production are now in place, and we are on target to meet our
stated goal of production in the second quarter of 2007. Our next challenge is
to exploit the gas in the deeper zones of the Calvin Field.'

Art Davis of the West Mountain Operating Company in Longview, Texas meets the
criteria of a qualified person under the AIM guidance note for mining, oil and
gas companies, and has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this announcement with respect to Calvin 36 #1.

Positive news in from Meridian 14th May. The final steps towards getting
Calvin 36 #1 into production are now in place, we are on target to meet our
stated goal of production in the second quarter of 2007.

The response from the markets were that the SP has traded down which continued the trend of the last few weeks. The boys and girls at shareclubuk.co.uk were in profit but now we are out of pocket. Posters are there any underlying reasons why the fall in the SP should take place? If so can you let the club know? Or is it the MM adjusting, before production starts, which in-turn should be followed by a SP hike? By the way was yesterdays gain of 0.75p the start of a turnaround?

The market makers just p*ss*d all over investors today by faking buy / sell figures using an offer price way in excess of actual buy price. For anyone interested the actual buy / sell figures were approximately as follows: Buy = 656010, Sell = 537924. The market makers would not be playing these games if this company did not have outstanding prospects coming on line any day now so beware of buy / sell figures you see for the next few weeks. Someone out there is trying to scoop up as many MRP shares as they can get on the cheap. Pity the authorities are too spineless to deal with these people.

why not deal with them ourselves...i'm sure they would take notice of a little gentle persuasion

progress our larger projects in the coming months.'

sorry guys, but this chart is truly horrid .... also look back at comments of 18 april

Well I take my hat to them, as they are helping me to make profits, who am I talking about? Yesterdays news from Meridian announcing that three Directors who have purchase a total of 784,528 shares, Stephen Cutteridge non-ex Chairman, Peter Cutteridge non-ex Director and David Wake-Walker non-ex Director, they are all out to make profits, the members of shareclubuk.co.uk were so pleased to read this news as it should lead to profits on their investments. Are you in on the profit run.

though good to see directors buying a decent number of shares t9hough was it merely exercise of option at bugger-all?), i see no reason to jump in .... chart is still horrid and company is a bare notch above the likes of CHP and GOO etc etc

Looks like it is a good bet to get in now. I'm sure the directors got in as the wells are getting hooked up soon.

did they tell you so? ..... do you know that their purchases were at full market price and not just option price? ...... at least the latter is easy to check ...... mind you, even if at full market price, the sum total is barely 100k, so that is still only about 35k each

cynic,

Just close the short!!
