I think it`s about time CSH had a thread, an AIM oil co. that is producing oil and quality stuff at that. These are vastly under-valued, market cap. 30 mill., they are going up on news NOT hype. check them out.

Just spoke to Hoodless and confirmed also that results Monday - very upberat he was saying that all info since admitted to AIM has been good and that they are still strong supporters of the company. Said that the numbbers (financials) will be meaningless at this stage as too early in the co's life cycle but the importnat bit is the production and the plans for the coming yr.

countries around the Caspian Sea, and in particular Kazakhstan, announces its
preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2004.

Highlights

* Caspian Holdings PLC admitted on to AIM on 4 November 2004, raising 4.43m
* Acquired 70% of Taraz LLP the owner of the Zengeldy oil field in
Kazakhstan in March 2004
* Constructed Zengeldy oil field operations in 9 months
* Commenced commercial oil production and sales in September 2004
* Drilled 3 new wells and reactivated well number 5
* Applied for expansion of existing licence area to over 30 km2


Post year end highlights

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


Dear Fellow Shareholder

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Caspian Holdings Plc, I am pleased to
present the first Annual Report of the Company since admission to AIM on 4
November 2004.

The year under review was one of great achievements for the Company. We acquired
and quickly brought into production our first oil field, Zengeldy, and we
completed a successful IPO of the Company raising 4.43m. Since listing we have
moved to expand oil production from the Zengeldy field, submit an application to
expand the licence area, and we are pursuing other fast track oil field
development and production activities around the Caspian Sea.

We now look to 2005 with great anticipation and excitement as we establish
Zengeldy as a commercially self sustaining profit centre for the Company. In
addition we are working to secure an expansion in the current licence area and
we continue to work towards securing new projects that will add to our oil
reserves, oil production capacity and add value for shareholders.

Yours faithfully




Michael Masterman
Executive Chairman


REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS

Zengeldy
Caspian's first oil project is the Zengeldy field located 18km from Makat in the
pre Caspian Basin. The field was acquired through the acquisition of Taraz LLP,
the owner of the Zengeldy subsoil contract in February 2004.

Caspian moved forward to commence initial development of the Zengeldy field
through 2004 and early 2005. The initial focus has been on bringing into
production the Jurassic and Triassic reserves.

The top of the Zengeldy salt dome is in the north of the licence area at a depth
of approximately 450m and the above sequence only contains Jurassic, Neocomian
and Apt oil bearing levels. The Triassic targets are in the east, south, and
west areas of the licence with the most promising reserves in the western areas
below a salt lake which will be drilled in the summer of 2005.

Four wells have been drilled in the Jurassic - 113, 114, 111 and 112 - and all
wells have been brought into production. Each of the wells has multiple
production levels and production to date has been from a single productive
level. The additional levels will be brought on in series (not parallel)
extending well life and recovery (but with lower initial daily rates).
Production from wells 113, 111, and 112 has been broadly in line with
expectations for these shallow Jurassic wells of about 50-70 barrels per day per
well. Production from the lower level of 114 has been minimal due to low
permeability in this layer - production from the higher layer will be brought
into production later this year. Jurassic production was 590 bbls in the
December Quarter 2004 and has since risen rapidly to 7,351 bbls in the March
Quarter 2005. Further increases are expected in the June Quarter 2005 as new
wells including the recently drilled 116 are brought online, flow lines and
improved storage are installed and weather conditions improve.

Winter drilling on Triassic targets has focused on the southern and eastern
areas of the licence. A previous well, Well 5, was reactivated in June 2004 and
the well logs, within the cased well showed a 15m oil pay with 32m in the lower
open section. The well initially produced good quantities of oil but due to poor
cementation in the old well casing, the well was shut down due to water influx
from the higher levels. Well 123 drilled further to the south of Well 5 was dry
due to a change in lithology from clean to shale sands. In the eastern Triassic
targets well 115 had oil shows but insufficient oil saturation for commercial
production. Updated evaluation of the geological model shows that the bulk
Triassic reserves lie in the west of the licence area under the salt lake and to
the west. The lake should be sufficiently dry to commence drilling activities in
the third quarter 2005.

Overall Zengeldy field production in 2004 and early 2005 has been limited to
production from the Jurassic level reserves and is currently running at
approximately 150 barrels per day. Significant increases in production are
dependent on the success of the summer Triassic drilling program.

Based on geological modelling work, Caspian is of the view that the Zengeldy oil
bearing structure extends to the west of the existing licence area. An
application has been made to the Kazak Ministry to extend the licence area to 30
square km. The Ministry is currently evaluating the application. In parallel we
have had positive discussions with the owner of the adjacent exploration block
regarding joint development of the extension area. We expect a positive outcome
from the application and negotiations in mid 2005.

A 3D seismic program is also planned during the summer to better define the
geological model and reserves estimates. A comprehensive review and revision of
the geological model and associated reserves estimates will then be completed to
incorporate the results of all wells drilled including the summer Triassic
program, the extension and the 3D seismic results. On the basis of drilling to
date the Directors are optimistic that the review could lead to an upgrade in
the Jurassic reserve estimates.

New Projects
The Company continues to actively evaluate new projects in Kazakhstan and the
other countries around the Caspian Sea. Progress has been made in the screening,
evaluation and negotiation process and tangible results will be released to the
market in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements.

CASPIAN HOLDINGS Plc
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2004

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United
Kingdom accounting standards under the historical cost convention.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of subsidiaries made
up to 31 December 2004.

On 8 April 2004 formal completion of the acquisition of 70% of the capital of
Taraz LLP took place. The consolidated financial statements include the results
of Taraz LLP for the year ended 31 December 2004. The directors consider that
the pre acquisition results of Taraz LLP are not material to the results shown
in the consolidated profit and loss account. The directors have adopted this
accounting treatment in order that the consolidated results of the group show a
true and fair view.

On 1 September 2004, the company signed an agreement to acquire the remaining
30% interest in Taraz LLP, formal completion of which took place on 28th March
2005. The directors consider that, in order for the consolidated accounts to
show a true and fair view, that Taraz LLP is consolidated as a wholly owned
subsidiary of the company. Interim audited consolidated accounts were prepared
to 30 June 2004 and these accounts have been used to calculate the goodwill
arising on the purchase of the remaining 30% interest in Taraz LLP. The
directors consider that the results for the two months 1 July 2004 to 1
September 2004 are not material.

No profit or loss account is presented for the company as permitted by S230 (3)
of the Companies Act 1985.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on consolidation, which represents the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is shown in the balance sheet
as an asset and will be amortised evenly over its estimated useful life once
trading has commenced. In addition to the systematic amortisation, the book
value is written down to recoverable amount when any impairment is identified.

The directors consider the estimated useful life of goodwill to be in line with
the contract between Taraz LLP and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
for the exclusive right to use the subsurface on the Zhengeldy oil field which
terminates on 27 May 2024.

Intangible fixed assets

Amortisation is calculated and provided in order to write off each asset over
its estimated useful economic life, such amortisation to commence when the asset
concerned is initially used within the business.

Royalty - 5% - 33% on cost
Software - 5% - 33% on cost

Deferred costs represent costs for preparatory work for oil production. These
costs are to be written over a period of 4 years starting in the year that the
first income from selling oil is received.



CASPIAN HOLDINGS Plc
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2004

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off
each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under finance lease, over
the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Bore holes - 10% on cost
Motor vehicles - 20% on cost
Plant and equipment - 20% - 33% on cost
Furniture and other equipment - 10% - 33% on cost

Deferred Tax

The tax charge is based on the profit for the period and takes into account
taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain
items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised in
respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the
balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that
will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive
more, tax, in the future. In particular:

Provision is made for tax on gains arising from the revaluation (and
similar fair value adjustments) of fixed assets, and gains on disposal of
fixed assets that have been rolled over into replacement assets, only to the
extent that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to
dispose of the assets concerned. However, no provision is made where, on the
basis of all available evidence at the balance sheet date, it is more likely
than not that the taxable gain will be rolled over into replacement assets
and charged to tax only where the replacement assets are sold.


Provision is made for deferred tax that would arise on remittance of the
retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures
only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, dividends have been
accrued as receivable.


Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the Directors
consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable
profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences
can be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are
expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on
tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due
allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date
of the transaction or at the contracted rate. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date or, if appropriate, at the forward contract
rate. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

Foreign currencies (Cont'd)

Where the trade of a foreign enterprise is more dependent on the economic
environment of the parent company then the Financial Statements of the
undertaking are consolidated using the Temporal method on the following basis:

Fixed assets are translated into sterling at the rates ruling on the
date of acquisition.


Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are
translated into sterling at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance
sheet date.


Revenue and expenses in foreign currencies are recorded in sterling at
the rates ruling at the date of the transactions.


Any gains or losses arising on translation are as reported in the Profit
and Loss Account.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets held under finance leases, which are leases where substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the Group, and hire
purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet and are depreciated over
their useful lives. The capital elements of future obligations under leases and
hire purchase contracts are included as liabilities in the balance sheet. The
interest elements of the rental obligations are charged in the profit and loss
account over the periods of the leases and hire purchase contracts and represent
a constant proportion of the balance of capital payments outstanding.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the profit and loss
account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As at 31st December 2004, the Group had unrecognised tax losses arising in
Kazakhstan of 21,780 and United Kingdom of 294,091 that are available
indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits of those companies in
which the losses arose, subject to the conditions of deductibility under the
relevant legislation.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these losses. These
assets will be recognised should it become more likely than not that taxable
profits or timing differences, against which they may be deducted, arise.

8. LOSS OF THE PARENT UNDERTAKING

The parent undertaking's loss for the financial year before and after taxation
amounted to 380,082 (2004 profit - 838).

9. LOSS PER ORDINARY SHARE

The calculation of the loss per ordinary share is based on a Group loss of
603,565 to 31st December 2004, and the weighted average ordinary shares
outstanding of 26,929,102 in the year ended 31st December 2004.

On the basis of the above calculation, the loss per ordinary share for the year
to 31st December 2004 is 2.2p.

19. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

The Company has drilled 3 new wells since 31st December 2004. All wells have
been commercially successful and are now in production.

The shares purchased under the 1st September 2004 minority purchase agreements
have been formally registered in the name of Caspian Holdings Plc such that
Caspian is the fully registered owner of 100% of Taraz LLP.

The Central Bank of Kazakhstan has written formally to the company stating that
it is entitled to the return of USD310,000 in funds that were frozen in a
correspondent bank account at the time of the conservation of Naryuz bank.
Timing of the return of the funds is dependent on the timing of the
recapitalisation of Naryuz bank, the timing of which the company cannot control.
In the event that Naryuz was not recapitalised recovery of the funds would be at
risk.

20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the year, 7,700 was paid to Northsun Italia SpA, a company of which
Michael Masterman and Dietmar Griel are Directors, for recharge of the use of
courier and telephone services. Recharges were based on the cost from third
party service invoices.

During the year, a loan of US$99,000 was repaid to Caspian Oil Limited, a
company which Michael Masterman and Dietmar Greil were formerly but are not
currently directors.

Kazakhstan in March 2004
* Constructed Zengeldy oil field operations in 9 months
* Commenced commercial oil production and sales in September 2004
* Drilled 3 new wells and reactivated well number 5

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT


Dear Fellow Shareholder

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Caspian Holdings Plc, I am pleased to
present the first Annual Report of the Company since admission to AIM on 4
November 2004.

The year under review was one of great achievements for the Company. We acquired
and quickly brought into production our first oil field, Zengeldy, and we
completed a successful IPO of the Company raising 4.43m. Since listing we have
moved to expand oil production from the Zengeldy field, submit an application to
expand the licence area, and we are pursuing other fast track oil field
development and production activities around the Caspian Sea.

We now look to 2005 with great anticipation and excitement as we establish
Zengeldy as a commercially self sustaining profit centre for the Company. In
addition we are working to secure an expansion in the current licence area and
we continue to work towards securing new projects that will add to our oil
reserves, oil production capacity and add value for shareholders.

Yours faithfully




Michael Masterman
Executive Chairman


REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATIONS

Zengeldy
Caspian's first oil project is the Zengeldy field located 18km from Makat in the
pre Caspian Basin. The field was acquired through the acquisition of Taraz LLP,
the owner of the Zengeldy subsoil contract in February 2004.

Caspian moved forward to commence initial development of the Zengeldy field
through 2004 and early 2005. The initial focus has been on bringing into
production the Jurassic and Triassic reserves.

The top of the Zengeldy salt dome is in the north of the licence area at a depth
of approximately 450m and the above sequence only contains Jurassic, Neocomian
and Apt oil bearing levels. The Triassic targets are in the east, south, and
west areas of the licence with the most promising reserves in the western areas
below a salt lake which will be drilled in the summer of 2005.

Four wells have been drilled in the Jurassic - 113, 114, 111 and 112 - and all
wells have been brought into production. Each of the wells has multiple
production levels and production to date has been from a single productive
level. The additional levels will be brought on in series (not parallel)
extending well life and recovery (but with lower initial daily rates).
Production from wells 113, 111, and 112 has been broadly in line with
expectations for these shallow Jurassic wells of about 50-70 barrels per day per
well. Production from the lower level of 114 has been minimal due to low
permeability in this layer - production from the higher layer will be brought
into production later this year. Jurassic production was 590 bbls in the
December Quarter 2004 and has since risen rapidly to 7,351 bbls in the March
Quarter 2005. Further increases are expected in the June Quarter 2005 as new
wells including the recently drilled 116 are brought online, flow lines and
improved storage are installed and weather conditions improve.

Winter drilling on Triassic targets has focused on the southern and eastern
areas of the licence. A previous well, Well 5, was reactivated in June 2004 and
the well logs, within the cased well showed a 15m oil pay with 32m in the lower
open section. The well initially produced good quantities of oil but due to poor
cementation in the old well casing, the well was shut down due to water influx
from the higher levels. Well 123 drilled further to the south of Well 5 was dry
due to a change in lithology from clean to shale sands. In the eastern Triassic
targets well 115 had oil shows but insufficient oil saturation for commercial
production. Updated evaluation of the geological model shows that the bulk
Triassic reserves lie in the west of the licence area under the salt lake and to
the west. The lake should be sufficiently dry to commence drilling activities in
the third quarter 2005.

Overall Zengeldy field production in 2004 and early 2005 has been limited to
production from the Jurassic level reserves and is currently running at
approximately 150 barrels per day. Significant increases in production are
dependent on the success of the summer Triassic drilling program.

Based on geological modelling work, Caspian is of the view that the Zengeldy oil
bearing structure extends to the west of the existing licence area. An
application has been made to the Kazak Ministry to extend the licence area to 30
square km. The Ministry is currently evaluating the application. In parallel we
have had positive discussions with the owner of the adjacent exploration block
regarding joint development of the extension area. We expect a positive outcome
from the application and negotiations in mid 2005.

A 3D seismic program is also planned during the summer to better define the
geological model and reserves estimates. A comprehensive review and revision of
the geological model and associated reserves estimates will then be completed to
incorporate the results of all wells drilled including the summer Triassic
program, the extension and the 3D seismic results. On the basis of drilling to
date the Directors are optimistic that the review could lead to an upgrade in
the Jurassic reserve estimates.

New Projects
The Company continues to actively evaluate new projects in Kazakhstan and the
other countries around the Caspian Sea. Progress has been made in the screening,
evaluation and negotiation process and tangible results will be released to the
market in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements.

CASPIAN HOLDINGS Plc
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2004

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United
Kingdom accounting standards under the historical cost convention.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of subsidiaries made
up to 31 December 2004.

On 8 April 2004 formal completion of the acquisition of 70% of the capital of
Taraz LLP took place. The consolidated financial statements include the results
of Taraz LLP for the year ended 31 December 2004. The directors consider that
the pre acquisition results of Taraz LLP are not material to the results shown
in the consolidated profit and loss account. The directors have adopted this
accounting treatment in order that the consolidated results of the group show a
true and fair view.

On 1 September 2004, the company signed an agreement to acquire the remaining
30% interest in Taraz LLP, formal completion of which took place on 28th March
2005. The directors consider that, in order for the consolidated accounts to
show a true and fair view, that Taraz LLP is consolidated as a wholly owned
subsidiary of the company. Interim audited consolidated accounts were prepared
to 30 June 2004 and these accounts have been used to calculate the goodwill
arising on the purchase of the remaining 30% interest in Taraz LLP. The
directors consider that the results for the two months 1 July 2004 to 1
September 2004 are not material.

No profit or loss account is presented for the company as permitted by S230 (3)
of the Companies Act 1985.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on consolidation, which represents the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is shown in the balance sheet
as an asset and will be amortised evenly over its estimated useful life once
trading has commenced. In addition to the systematic amortisation, the book
value is written down to recoverable amount when any impairment is identified.

The directors consider the estimated useful life of goodwill to be in line with
the contract between Taraz LLP and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan
for the exclusive right to use the subsurface on the Zhengeldy oil field which
terminates on 27 May 2024.

Intangible fixed assets

Amortisation is calculated and provided in order to write off each asset over
its estimated useful economic life, such amortisation to commence when the asset
concerned is initially used within the business.

Royalty - 5% - 33% on cost
Software - 5% - 33% on cost

Deferred costs represent costs for preparatory work for oil production. These
costs are to be written over a period of 4 years starting in the year that the
first income from selling oil is received.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2004

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont'd)

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off
each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under finance lease, over
the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Bore holes - 10% on cost
Motor vehicles - 20% on cost
Plant and equipment - 20% - 33% on cost
Furniture and other equipment - 10% - 33% on cost

Deferred Tax

The tax charge is based on the profit for the period and takes into account
taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of certain
items for taxation and accounting purposes. Deferred tax is recognised in
respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the
balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that
will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive
more, tax, in the future. In particular:

Provision is made for tax on gains arising from the revaluation (and
similar fair value adjustments) of fixed assets, and gains on disposal of
fixed assets that have been rolled over into replacement assets, only to the
extent that, at the balance sheet date, there is a binding agreement to
dispose of the assets concerned. However, no provision is made where, on the
basis of all available evidence at the balance sheet date, it is more likely
than not that the taxable gain will be rolled over into replacement assets
and charged to tax only where the replacement assets are sold.


Provision is made for deferred tax that would arise on remittance of the
retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures
only to the extent that, at the balance sheet date, dividends have been
accrued as receivable.


Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the Directors
consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable
profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences
can be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are
expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences reverse, based on
tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due
allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date
of the transaction or at the contracted rate. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange
ruling at the balance sheet date or, if appropriate, at the forward contract
rate. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

Foreign currencies (Cont'd)

Where the trade of a foreign enterprise is more dependent on the economic
environment of the parent company then the Financial Statements of the
undertaking are consolidated using the Temporal method on the following basis:

Fixed assets are translated into sterling at the rates ruling on the
date of acquisition.


Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are
translated into sterling at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance
sheet date.


Revenue and expenses in foreign currencies are recorded in sterling at
the rates ruling at the date of the transactions.


Any gains or losses arising on translation are as reported in the Profit
and Loss Account.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets held under finance leases, which are leases where substantially all the
risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the Group, and hire
purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet and are depreciated over
their useful lives. The capital elements of future obligations under leases and
hire purchase contracts are included as liabilities in the balance sheet. The
interest elements of the rental obligations are charged in the profit and loss
account over the periods of the leases and hire purchase contracts and represent
a constant proportion of the balance of capital payments outstanding.

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the profit and loss
account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

indefinitely for offset against future taxable profits of those companies in
which the losses arose, subject to the conditions of deductibility under the
relevant legislation.

Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these losses. These
assets will be recognised should it become more likely than not that taxable
profits or timing differences, against which they may be deducted, arise.

The parent undertaking's loss for the financial year before and after taxation
amounted to 380,082 (2004 profit - 838).

9. LOSS PER ORDINARY SHARE

19. POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS

The Company has drilled 3 new wells since 31st December 2004. All wells have
been commercially successful and are now in production.

The shares purchased under the 1st September 2004 minority purchase agreements
have been formally registered in the name of Caspian Holdings Plc such that
Caspian is the fully registered owner of 100% of Taraz LLP.

The Central Bank of Kazakhstan has written formally to the company stating that
it is entitled to the return of USD310,000 in funds that were frozen in a
correspondent bank account at the time of the conservation of Naryuz bank.
Timing of the return of the funds is dependent on the timing of the
recapitalisation of Naryuz bank, the timing of which the company cannot control.
In the event that Naryuz was not recapitalised recovery of the funds would be at
risk.

20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the year, 7,700 was paid to Northsun Italia SpA, a company of which
Michael Masterman and Dietmar Griel are Directors, for recharge of the use of
courier and telephone services. Recharges were based on the cost from third
party service invoices.

During the year, a loan of US$99,000 was repaid to Caspian Oil Limited, a
company which Michael Masterman and Dietmar Greil were formerly but are not
currently directors.

wilbs

Four wells have been drilled in the Jurassic - 113, 114, 111 and 112 - and all
wells have been brought into production.

And.................


these shallow Jurassic wells of about 50-70 barrels per day per
well. Production from the lower level of 114 has been minimal due to low
permeability in this layer - production from the higher layer will be brought
into production later this year. Jurassic production was 590 bbls in the
December Quarter 2004 and has since risen rapidly to 7,351 bbls in the March
Quarter 2005. Further ....................

Not exactly exciting flow rates, the last heads towards it but again is nothing special.

No mention of estimated reserves unless I missed it somewhere amonst the reams of reports.

They won't talk about increase flow rates untill they get a better price for for the oil.

Having steadily bought CSH on the retractions over the last few weeks,I wonder if anyone knows where in Kazaksthan the Zangeldy oil field is ? I wanted to speak to Luke Cairns but he has not returned my call so far.

I think they have to transport the oil by road,but where to?

Do they own the road tankers,and are the transport costs high?

Any news on this would be appreciated.

The intention as I recall is to install a pipe line, as you say they currently transport by road, not sure where to.

I believe it is due to be installted this summer so things will get better.

This is all frommemory so I may have a few bits wrong but this is the essence of what I recall.............

Spoke to Luke Cairns later today.

According to him there is a pipeline 18kms from the Zangeldy field.

The pipeline goes to Russia as well as some other region.

The oil as you know is of good quality with some salt content, that apparently can be easily removed by a heating process.

Perhaps seawallwalker, you may be referring to a proposed extension of pipeline to actual site.

Anyway the situation appears better than I thought.

Anyone still in?
Nice rise today, all buys apart from 4,000 shares. 50,000 MM buy and this was posted over the road.
Make of it what you will.

Nice to see everyone is still positive on here. (It can't get any worse can it? Can it?) No.

Here's a bit of info you may be interested in.

A bloke I work with's cousin works for an oil investment company. Now and again he gives my collegue tips on shares of companies to buy, and his tip/success rate is A1.
He told my collegue to buy BFC a week before they had some big announcement and shot up 40%. Yes it probably is insider dealing but it goes on everywhere!
Anyway, he text my colleague late Friday afternoon and said two words (which is how he gives his tips) Those two words:-

Caspian Holdings.

Make of that what you will.
That's not a ramp, as everyone know you should do your own research, whether you do or not is up to you. Interesting though.

Sharebuff - Could you post a link or the comments please. Ta.

Tone - Will E-mail you tomorrow as I shortly have an appointment with several pints of Kronenbourg :-D

See what happens tomorrow to 3 months time.
Good luck to you.

Im in for the medium term, xmas. I don't know if you look at the joke pages on ADVFN? Talk is of an announcment soon. With the buys today and the MM buys, it seems that something is brewing and news is due.
See what tomorrow brings.
Good luck to you too.

Still ticking up nicely.

YES IT IS. Just wish I had the finds to buy more.
Sambal.

Back in the blue for me at last. Lets hope news will come in the next week to 4 weeks. IMO it is going to be good, but not great. The great news will come imo come late September.

CASPIAN HOLDINGS PLC
('Caspian' or 'the Company')

Drilling, Production and Export Update

Caspian Holdings announces that it has progressed drilling and oil activities,
completing and bringing into production Well 107 and increasing overall
production rates in the Zhengeldy field.

Drilling has also been completed on well 116 and commenced on new Well 106.

Well 107, which had a net oil pay of 17m in the Neocomian structure, has been
perforated to 5m (2 intervals) and currently, one of the intervals been brought
into production. .

The current production capacity of the Zhengeldy field is now based on a total
of five wells: four across Jurassic levels (Wells 113, 114, 112 and 111); and
Well 107, at Neocomian levels.

Production rates have been steady at 130-150 barrels per day and are anticipated
to increase in June with the addition of production from Well 107. Subject to
the results of testing we also expect additional production from Wells 106, 116
and the perforation of Well 114 in the Neocomian. In addition production
increases are expected from a new approach to cementation and logging which the
Company has developed in conjunction with Schlumberger Caspian Region.
Evaluation of cement bond logs suggests there is significant scope to improve
well cementation and, as a result, to identify additional productive levels.

During May, Caspian continued to evaluate opportunities for bringing on Triassic
level production. Well 106, a twin of old well number 5, is now being drilled
(to a target depth of 750m (currently at a depth of 600m)) and should be
complete in late Q2, 2005. Joint review of Well 115 with the Mining Economic
Consulting Company has recommended a re-investigation of three more levels in
the Triassic which the Company is planning for Q3, 2005.

Planning is advanced for drilling on the salt lake in the west of the Zhengeldy
licence area in summer and well locations will be selected following a review of
geological models of the Zhengeldy field. Work is continuing in evaluating
targets in the Zhengeldy extension area as the Company awaits a decision on its
extension application - a decision is expected in Q3, 2005.

Caspian has progressed construction of a 200 tonne storage and export facility.
The proposed facility will now be located outside Makat on the new pipeline
entry point, following a decision by Emba Oil, the state oil company to relocate
processing operations to this site (away from the city). The initial plan is to
transfer 200 tonne batches to the main Emba storage tanks with subsequent export
in 1000 tonne lots. A heating process step will be added to storage facilities

In a statement, the company said production rates have been steady at 130-150 barrels per day and are expected to increase in June, with the addition of Well 107.
