I noticed EOG in Shares Magazine last week, and having done some research, think they may be a decent producer / exploration play.



Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, is involved in the exploration and production of hydrocarbons in Europe. The Company has a balanced portfolio of 12 European oil and gas exploration and production assets in the UK, Ukraine, Romania and Poland. The portfolio contains proven plus probable and development reserves of 7 million barrels oil equivalent (mmboe) net to Europa and exploration potential of a further 28 mmboe. Wellhead revenues are currently in excess of 200,000 per month from a volume of 340 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd). These figures are set to rise substantially by the year 2007 when projected production will be above 7000 boepd.


The Company has an active near term drilling programme with three wells scheduled to spud in the first quarter 2005. The drilling programme mimics the balanced portfolio with one appraisal well on the recent Bilca Gas discovery in Romania, one development well on the West Firsby Oilfield in the UK and one exploration well in Romania.



Europa is set to become a significant producer of hydrocarbons in the near future and intends to develop a substantial independent upstream oil & gas business. The management has a strong mainstream oil and gas background, which enables Europa to continue to identify, acquire and develop profit-making oil and gas assets.



Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc was admitted to the London Stock Exchanges Alternative Investment Market on November 11, 2004 and trades under the symbol EOG.

And for any newbies, the present well is on the Romanian Carpathians. Potentially around 6 million barrels or more net to EOG, which for a tiny market cap company is a lot of oil, and on top of that various other leads should this one be good, up to circa 70 million barrels net to EOG.

Europa Oil & Gas Prepares To Drill Main Section Of Barchiz-1 Oil Well, Shares Rise


Europa Oil & Gas (LON:EOG) has reported more progress from the closely followed drilling of the Barchiz-1 exploration well in Romania, sending shares up 7%.

Preparations are being made to drill the main section of the well containing the target horizons after the well was cased to a depth of 664 metres.

No further updates will be provided until the well reaches its total depth of 1,400 metres.

The initial results from Barchiz-1, which was spudded on 18 October, were encouraging, giving evidence of an active petroleum system in the Barchiz area with minor oil shows and mud gas indications encountered between 268 and 275 metres.

The Barchiz prospect is 10 kilometres from, and on trend with, the Geamana oilfield with 50 million barrels of oil (mmbo) reserves. The pre-drill oil-in-place estimate for Barchiz is up to 94 mmbo and there are five additional leads on-block in the same structural play which will be significantly upgraded by success at Barchiz.

Additionally, leads in the same play have been identified on new seismic data in the Cuejdiu block, immediately to the north of Brates.

Europa believes it is likely that additional seismic will be acquired in the Brates block in 2011 over the Tazlaul Mare Deep feature, a large thrust structure beneath the Tazlaul Mare gas condensate field, to mature this prospect for drilling.

In October, Europa raised 1.8 million to fund further drilling at the West Firsby field in Lincolnshire and at Barchiz-1, while also covering ongoing working capital requirements for the company's other prospects.

is this person a vampire........look at the time of his or her's post times....lol

Nightwatchman perhaps...? or a train driver with a laptop.....?.....oh ! that'a a red...never mind ...we'll make up for it with the next one....

More like a black plastic mack and binoculars........
Back to thread, whats the time scale for next drilling rf??

I'd say another 10 days for Barchiz....(reminds me of a french goalkeeper)....and a bit longer for the one with Aurelian...

About 10 days is about right, in an about way.

"I have only recently become a big fan of bulletin boards since I realised that they can take the leg work out of finding new and exciting small cap/multi bagger opportunities. This is largely due to the fact than those less lazy than myself post the fruits of their good work on Sharecrazy.coms community board. The daily chart of Europa shows a fresh break above the black 200 day moving average now at 14.5p. The big plus here is the way that the 200 day line is starting to rise, and with the blue 50 day line moving up to cross it over the next few weeks to give a likely golden buy signal, we should be looking at the sweet spot of a major rally. Only a weekly close back below the black 200 day line would delay the prospect of a three month target as high as the December 2008 resistance line projection at 30p over the next 34 months or less"

Looking a bit stronger, obviously getting noticed by more and more people now and they can see how its pretty much undervalued based on its current assets, let along the upside potential

We could have two bites of the cherry to taste.....if both come in it might go all the way to 50p....that's a big if.....but the possibility is there...
