The well operator is ConoccoP, a major oil company, they are now drilling a
horizontal, having drilled to 11500ft vertically (their is every chance they will have tested the vertical 1st)before drilling the horizontal which as we know is 1500ft of 4000ft(nice length).40ft gas flare is indicating high pressures along with the need to increase mud (substantually)weight,is most encouraging. Now lets go back to
yesterday's aussie news, fraccing is expected in mid August,hmm seems to tie in with todays news. Still not a no brainer but i feel a lot more comfortable at this
minute.

Unfortunately in these days of mass regimentation, EME are not allowed to say "looks like its going to be a real rip roaring barsteward" even if they think it.
The RNS has probably pretty much been written by the NOMAD anyway.
Heaven forbid that we be allowed to spend our money how we want, unless we get 47 health warnings first.

Just thought I'd stick this up the bb a bit as I found it about 5 pages down. Pretty obvious given the price movement this past 10 days.

---------------------------------------
Agavero flows gas on production test at rate of 642,000 cubic feet per day
Dona Carlota discovery connected to sales pipeline
Climaco encounters gas shows whilst drilling
AIM quoted Empyrean Energy PLC today announces the following update with regards
Project Margarita:
AGAVERO WELL
Successful production testing has been completed at the Agavero well with an
initial flow rate of 642,000 cubic feet of gas per day being recorded on 10/64'
choke.
The well will now be tied into a nearby pipeline that crosses the lease to
commence sales.
DONA CARLOTA WELL
The Dona Carlota well has now been successfully connected to the gas sales
pipeline and sales have commenced.
CLIMACO WELL
The Climaco well has reached a depth of 1,830 metres. Recent gas shows of up to
10 times the background gas reading have necessitated an increase in the
drilling mud weight. The present plan is to raise the mud weight and then drill
ahead to the anticipated total depth of 2,067 metres.

Completion of the shallow drilling program at Project Margarita
AIM quoted Empyrean Energy PLC today announces the following update with
regards Project Margarita:
Empyrean has been advised by the Houston based operator, Wandoo Energy LLC, that
drilling operations on the three programmed wells within the second phase of the
shallow drilling program of the Margarita Gas Exploration Project have
concluded.
Drilling of these last three wells resulted in 2 commercial gas discoveries
which had been or are currently awaiting connection to gas sales lines. The
discovery wells were Dona Carlota and Agavero with an interpreted gross
recoverable resource of 1.3 billion cubic feet of gas. The Climaco well was
plugged and abandoned after penetrating the objective section and encountering
gas shows, however the gas shows were determined to be non commercial after
running wire line logs. The table below summarizes flow rates and the status of
these phase 2 wells.

Dona 1,524 500 Gas discovery, well currently producing to sales gas

well bore scheduled within one week.
Agavero 1,341 647 Gas discovery flow tested 0. 647 million cubic feet
(on flow per day awaiting tie into sales gas line. Gas sales
test are expected to commence within one to two weeks.
Climaco 1,858 No Flow Plugged & abandoned as non commercial gas well.

Commenting on the Margarita Gas Exploration Project outcome, Tom Kelly,
commercial director of Empyrean said:
'A success rate of 3 commercial discoveries from 6 wildcat wells is a terrific
result given that industry statistics are about 1 from 12.
US gas prices are strong and we expect to have approximately 2.3 million cubic
feet of gross gas production per day from all three wells combined - this
initial production and cash flow is a great result'

I'd take issue with the "great result" bit. The area being drilled is very well known and 3 from 6 is average at best IMO. As for the numbers, 44% of everything together will provide cashflow, but hardly company-making is it?
........... but then the chart says it all really, I guess. A bit of leveraged trader froth last month and they move on? ;-))))))

Expect an RNS later today? news from our JVP's is that fraccing of S/L1 is expected
to commence EOM, with S/L2 expected to spud mid Sept.

RNS today:
LONDON (Thomson Financial) - "Empyrean Energy PLC said testing at the Sugarloaf-1 well is expected to start within two weeks and the proposed Sugarloaf-2 well is expected to spud in mid-September.
The operator of Sugarloaf-1, Texas Crude Energy Inc, said the testing can start by the last week of August because the frac and testing equipment is available.
At the Sugarloaf-2 prospect, the operator has confirmed that the Kennedy-1H drill rig has been secured and construction at the drill site has started
The well is expected to spud by mid September and the Kennedy-1H is expected to take 45 days to be drilled and completed, followed by fraccing and testing if successful.
Empyrean has a 6 pct working interest in Sugarloaf-1 and an 18 pct interest in Sugarloaf-2."

The oil rig to be used for S/L2 is the most powerful in Texas, its the same one which drilled S/L1. It is planned to drill to just 12,00ft before kicking off to a
5000ft horizontal section in the upper zone of the cretaceus aged carbonate
reservoir. One hell of a big rig to perform this task, don't you think?

You need a fairly hefty land rig for this drilling work. Drill to 12000ft and kick off to do a 5000ft horizontal bore requires a bit of power.

Meanwhile, the share price sits on critical support IMO. How many were smart enough to take a profit last month?

Long term, price will be determined by the drill bit and the testing thereafter...
