http://www.gulfkeystone.com/ The firms exploration programme in Algeria is going well and "the shares look good value", say the Investors Chronicle. Your comments please. goal.

Charting is good up to a certain point, in the event of another big strike this could rocket again and that would completely change the look of the graph.

Horrible chart and mm's games ..looks a sell to 60p.

Not if an rns pops out of nowhere.

Well thats is a possible.

Crude is also on a gentle rise....

news out from Kurdistan

Iraq and Kurdistan agree to start exporting oil!

i think that may be old news .... there was a report 2/3 weeks ago that limited exports were to be permitted

Wow what a turn round.

from bloomberg.

Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Iraq, holder of the worlds third- largest crude reserves, will resume oil exports from the northern Kurdish region soon after the Oil Ministry and the local administration agreed on a payment method.

The federal government instructed the State Oil Marketing Co. to resume exports of oil produced in the Kurdish region immediately, Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani told reporters today in Baghdad.

Iraq accepted a Kurdish proposal on payments to international producers working in the semi-autonomous region, al-Shahristani said without providing further details. The Kurdish Regional Government last month proposed that the central administration pay DNO International ASA and other producers in northern Iraq directly or for the revenue to pass through the Kurdish authorities.

DNO shares surged as much as 15 percent in Oslo trading after the announcement. A KRG spokesman wasnt immediately able to comment on an agreement with the government.

Companies like DNO and Genel Enerji AS halted oil exports from the semi-autonomous Kurdish region last year because there was no mechanism in place for payments to producers.

Exports from the Kurdish region had started flowing through federal government-run pipelines last year and revenue from the sales went to state coffers. Exports then halted amid a failure to agree on how revenue would be distributed.

Iraq Offers Indian Refiners More Crude on Planned Output Gain


By Gaurav Singh and Rakteem Katakey



Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Iraq is offering to supply more crude oil to Indian refiners on long-term contracts as the Middle Eastern country boosts output.

Iraq is offering to increase crude sales to India by as much as 60 percent, said an oil ministry official who was at the meeting between Indias Oil Minister Murli Deora and Iraqs Industry and Minerals Minister Fawzi Hariri in New Delhi today. Indian Oil Corp., the nations second-biggest refiner, currently buys about 11 metric million tons, or about 220,000 barrels a day, of Iraqi crude, Chairman Sarthak Behuria said.

They have the reserves and they have plans to raise output significantly, said Behuria, who was present at the meeting between the two ministers today. They told us they would be ready to offer us longer contracts after five years.
