Rockhopper was established in 2004 with a strategy to invest in and undertake an offshore oil exploration programme in the North Falkland Basin. It was floated on AIM in August 2005. Rockhopper was the first company to make a commercial oil discovery in the Falklands. Today Rockhopper is the largest acreage holder in the North Falkland Basin, with interests in the Greater Mediterranean region.

The potential that hyleo98 sold yesterday and is now not holding ? ;)

i think the news will good enough, which is not to say good enough to support let alone further propel sp

That's what I'm thinking...400 million is already in the sp...perhaps..

I have a feeling that news will be very good...

hyleo's alter ego speaks, which must mean sp is about right :>))

300p on news

RF, yes again, lets say, presently the SP does not have the P50 figure of 170M barrels in it.

Its grossly undervalued......

Shall we go over it all again ? ;) LOL

what the F**** is P50??????

I had a feeling the other day......

Is that +300p on the news..... ? ;)

cynic, I suggest you read the CPR...... its on the RKH web site, download the PDF and have a read.

no time old son, and seemingly i'm not the only one here who has no idea what P10/50/90 means either

You can put them on ford escorts,....firm ride though... or is it something to do with the miss's....

lol..

P10, P50, P90 refer to the possibility of sizes of find.

By having varying levels of possible finds, your 10%, 50% and 90%, it expressed the potential size of a prospect pre-drilling.

In other words the minimum likely find, if you find something, the mean likely size find and the likely maximum size find possible, with of course the P50 being the middle value between largest and smallest.

Come on cynic, if you have no time for the CPR, and you do not know what P10/50/90 is then really you should be very careful buying any oil stocks as you will have no idea how to value them and end up being like BB and RF.

thanks m8 .... therefore assume P90 relates to find being 170mb, which i buy into

P50 is 170M barrels.

170M is around 600p a share post flow test, pre production.


Now if things are bullish and the size is bigger than the P50, then go figure............

The bears have acquired a taste for oil companies. Not content with mauling BP, they have turned on one of those British companies drilling for oil off the coast of the Falkland Islands.

Trading in Rockhopper Exploration shares was suspended nine times on AIM after the price plunged by almost 77 per cent, before recovering most of those stinging losses almost as quickly.

The London Stock Exchange is understood to have asked the Financial Services Authority to take a look.

Rockhopper shares opened at 269p and traded around that level throughout the morning. Then, at about 12.30pm, they plunged amid aggressively priced selling of relatively few shares, triggering the first suspension. The exchange automatically halts trading in any share that swings by about 5 to 10 per cent in either direction. The enforced hiatus usually for about five minutes is intended to give investors time to digest such a move and place buy and sell orders for the shares.

However, certain market-makers facilitate trading throughout official suspensions and selling of Rockhopper shares is understood to have continued off order book.

When general trading resumed, the price was thumped again, rapidly triggering a second suspension. Then a third and then a fourth, until 1.11pm, when Rockhopper shares were changing hands for as little as 62p.

No spark for the collapse was readily discernible. A rumour suggesting that the oil that Rockhopper had discovered last month was of poor quality looked more like reaction to the move than its cause.

A raft of private investors who had taken a positive view of Rockhoppers prospects through spread-bets on the share price, were said to have been left badly out of pocket after the size of their potential losses prompted City bookmakers to close positions before the hour-long rally kicked-in.

Buying of the shares on the way up was much heavier than selling on the way down. The speed of the rally, which finally left the shares only 29p lower at 240p, prompted a further five suspensions. The aggressive recovery was already under way by the time Rockhopper itself offered reassurances that testing of the quality of oil from its Sea Lion well was imminent, after a delay caused by problems flying a sample from Port Stanley to Britain.

perhaps the delay is due to keeping HMG informed of the size of the discovery.......politics.
