More good news for AST holders and of course 1 million is no small buy (nearly 100,000) even for a director ! :)

Will be interesting now to see what happens in the coming 3 weeks, following this big director buy and that the operations update is due the last week of April :)

Was a nice rise, should be plenty more to come this year, and of course this month ;)

On a nice run again, and will be a momentum buy next week I think, as well as a solid buy for the future anyway in my opinion :)

Amities / d'accord completement.......AST have interest in a mine in the prolific Niger Delta through connections with AFR via a financial instruments which will yield probably hundereds of millions for AFR / ...lm in on this one . @ 9.25 . Forget Switzerland and put Spain on the backburner .. ltaly may yield shallow gas fields to provide quick cash generation ; and Rumania a dual play but comparitevely small amounts . ....But its this Nigerian connection that intrigues me ; and the number of j/v's , farm ins , farm outs and so forth in that area combing in perhpas 100/ 130 oil companies of all m/c s from "Big Oil " to the likes of tiny minnows like AST . This is "The New North Sea " they tell me . Well with EEL , AFR, and AST i think i have North of the subsahara covered ,,,,,, Bonne chance PP .... ............@+ J....Gimme oil , gold and orange juice and a raft of soft commodoties !!,,,,,,,,,,,

Thanks TFC, as you say, lots going on with AST, so plenty of chances for something special to come along, and yes Nigeria is a place to keep an eye on it terms of possible new large discoveries.

Thanks for your research PP.
Serious flooding in Eastern Europe today and Romania mentioned. Any idea whether the Ascent interests are anywhere near the flooding area?

No idea schiff, I have not looked into the Romania interests it too great detail yet.

Here is hoping for another couple of strong weeks into that end of month operations update.

Bit of a shake before we enter next week, which should contain the awaited operations update. I might have to add a few this afternoon if the offer presents itself :)

Then best of luck to us both PP!
Have a good weekend.

Thanks schiff, my AST top up fund just went into GOO (Gold Oil), owing to their excellent news on Peru today, never mind :) Diverse holdings and all that.

All very good, and the little bit in the Hungary summary adds some spice, with the speeded up drilling of those area's :)



27 April 2006 Ascent Resources plc ('Ascent' or 'the Company')

Operation update

Ascent Resources plc, the European focused oil and gas exploration and
production company, is pleased to announce the some details of its 2006 Drilling
Programme of six operated wells and an operational update on its production and
exploration assets in Spain, Italy, Hungary, Switzerland, Romania and Holland.

This drilling programme, which does not include the four wells planned for
Romania, primarily focused on previous discoveries, is in the table below.
Contractors with suitable drilling rigs have confirmed their availability for
each of these wells although all are subject to permitting and regulatory
approval for the location which is in progress.

Well Area Exploration Permit Target Commencing
1 Tozo-1 Spain -Sedano Basin Basconcillos H Oil August
2 PHNS-1 N-E Hungary Nyirseg Szatmar Gas August
3 PHND-1 N-E Hungary Nyirseg Del Gas September
4 Anagni-1 Italy - Latina Valley Frosinone Oil September
5 FA-1 Italy - Latium Coast Fiume Arrone Gas October
6 Hontomin-4 Spain - Sedano Basin Huemeces Oil October


Spain: Oil Production and Exploration

Production from the Ayoluengo field continues to average a gross of 115 barrels
of oil per day. The project's cashflow has been improved with the recent rise in
international oil prices. Well work-overs (maintenance and upgrading work) are
planned for the field and will commence in May subject to delivery of equipment
and materials.
The two wells to be drilled in 2006 are the Tozo 1 re-entry and Hontomin 4
appraisal. Both are close to the Ayoluengo field and target oil discoveries that
were made by Chevron in the 1970's.


Italy - Oil and Gas Exploration:

In the Po Valley, based on the results from the reprocessing and interpretation
of the seismic acquired from ENI in the Cento and Bastiglia exploration permits,
the permitting of the first two locations is now underway and a further two will
commence shortly. The drilling of these gas exploration wells is to be included
in the 2007 Drilling Programme.
In the Latina Valley, where the focus is on oil exploration, a 60km seismic
survey and the drilling of the Anagni-1 well are both scheduled for September
2006.
In the Fiume Arrone permit, close to Rome's Fiumicino airport, a gas exploration
well is planned for October 2006.


Hungary

Having received results from last year's seismic programme conducted on the
Nyirseg permits, by Ascent's Hungarian Joint Venture PetroHungaria, the work
programme for this area has now been prioritised and two wells are planned for
late summer.
The Joint Steering Committee of PetroHungaria's project involving the
rehabilitation of low permeability gasfields in conjunction with MOL Hungarian
Oil and Gas plc, has approved the commencement of Phase 2. This includes the
detailed planning of three horizontal recompletions in a producing gasfield in
South Western Hungary.


Switzerland

In the Canton of Bern, re-processing of existing seismic in the area around the
two existing gas discovery wells, Linden (1972) and Hermrigen (1982), is
underway. Subsequent geological modelling with the incorporation of all
hydrocarbon exploration data will lead to a prospectivity report to be published
later this year. Subject to the results of this report, wells will be scheduled
for the 2007 Drilling Programme.

In the Canton of Vaud, the application that surrounds the Essertines (1962) oil
discovery well, drilled by BEB, has passed all regulatory stages and the issue
of the permit is expected imminently.

Romania

Ascent recently acquired a 5% interest in three prospective exploration blocks,
through its acquisition of MIRC. In Brodina, the first gas production is
expected from the Bilca development in late July. An active exploration
programme is underway in all three blocks including new seismic work and it is
anticipated that four exploration wells will be drilled by the end of 2006.

Holland

Ascent made applications for six exploration licenses submitted last year.
Following a three month gazettal period, competing bids have been submitted to
the authorities on two of the six areas, and their decision on these two is
awaited. The remaining four are uncontested.

* * ENDS * *

Bit of stake building going on I think, nice to see a little tick up as well :)

L2 is 3 v 1 @ 11.5/12.5 so more to come today I think, upwards of course ;)

And still moving up, looking very strong today :)

Good post from AFN :


Simon_T - 3 May'06 - 09:13 - 592 of 592

I'm not ready! - I'm going to be busy pretty much all day today.

Re yesterday's share price movement - I think that we have had a bit more publicity over the last day or so and discussion on other boards. Northern Petroleum, having a "1.25% gross overriding royalty in Tozo-1 and Hontomin-4 derived from any future production on the Basconcillos H and Huemeces Permits" chose to reproduce the AST operations update on their website in full. It's here :

http://www.northpet.com/news/news-2006/news-27-04-06.html

Consequently, we will now have come to the attention of Michael Walters et al. It should help us get well clear of 12p and move us comfortably north.
