Star Energy is currently testing the Avington well in Southern England.
This will take about 4 weeks an RNS news feed said, it started on 25/06/06.

I hope it proves positive so we get a good share price rise!
We are 5% holders but i'm not sure how much in pence potential this is worth for the company.

Another good reason to hold on to this share.

Another pro putting his weight behind this one.

Above Jan resistance / April support at 88p there is a line of July 2008 resistance projecting a 150p target. Any dips towards 100p look like good buy opportunities, especially with golden moving average crosses between the 10,20,50 day lines over the past few weeks.

Higher prices lift revenue at Northern Petroleum
Fri 17 Apr 2009

LONDON (SHARECAST) - Last years strong energy prices boosted revenue from Northern Petroleums Waalwijk and P12 gas fields by 11%, the high-flying oil and gas group said today.

The fields contributed revenues of about 6m, up from 5.4m in 2007, with oil revenues at Horndean up to $600,000 from $450,000

Net attributable production dipped to 0.12 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) from 0.16 million boe the year before, most of which came from the Waalwijk and P12 gas fields.

They came in with a combined total of about 0.66 billion cubic feet (bcf) of gas versus 0.88 bcf in 2007. Production at the Horndean oil field was 2.7% lower at 6,564 barrels for the year.

Northern says it had about 34.9m net cash as at 31 December 2008, much of which is held in euros, providing a natural hedge for the firms ongoing capital expenditure programme. Theres also 8.5m of deferred consideration to come.

"2008 has been another year of significant financial and operational progress, said finance chief Chris Foss. Consequently we stand well positioned to deliver on our primary near term objective of bringing our Dutch developments onstream, whilst looking forward with anticipation to exploration success.

In a separate statement, the company said post hydraulic reservoir fracturing flow testing has been completed on the Ottoland 1 side track during. The well flowed oil and water at improved rates to the July 2007 tests, proving the fracturing programme to be a success.

Full year results are due mid-May.

A rather bullish write up by the t1ps stable yesterday evening, 400p target.

Tom Winnifrith writes:

We first tipped Northern on t1ps at 13.75p. The t1ps fund started buying in at 60-80p a few months ago and added again aggressivly at 100p the other day. So we are believers. At today's 123.5p the company is valued at c90 million following the all-share buyout of plus listed ATI. Cash and equivalents are worth c35 million. Dutch assets (based on direct trade sale comparables) are worthat least 90 million but recent drilling success suggests 120 million would be cautious. Italian assets could be worth as much again. Northern is profitable and my stance is buy at up to 175p with a target of 400p.Buy.

Zak Mir writes:

Sharecrazy.com community board followers will have read my charting views on Northern a couple of days ago, but it is worth going through the technicals one more time. This is particularly so given the April test for support at former post November resistance of 88p a traditional buy signal. The position now is that while above the green 10 day moving average at 103p on an end of day close stop loss basis one would expect the 3 month target here to be as high as the October rising trend channel at 160p

NOP has gone down 30% over past couple of weeks

this is now even higher since that muppet hy leo posted that it had recent fall.......the trick is to estimate BEFOEHAND whether a share goes up or down. as always this is another gonzo ala hyleo got wrong.

apologoies to gonzo the muppet

over 130p now.......another hyleo short burning after he probably did this at sub 100p

We might be on the verge of a breakout....I can see the rising trend possibly about to jump upwards sharply...

poor old hyleo

Sp about to jump higher....the trend is there and this has a tendancy to stumble and then rocket sharply....

This is like a recoiled spring....about to fly....

hyleo shorts are burning on this one at under a quid......ouch

It's a good one...more to come...

will hileo have any shorts to burn by then? lol.....poor sod will need to buy back and lose a fortune.....double whammy

He's bound to have closed a lot of shorts by now, in bad times that's the only thing to do...never tried it yet myself but will do one day.

hyleo is still shorting shares......well he types in only occasionally now but still shorting........he came onto NOP when it went under a quid

Geesbrug ? Another Fracturing Exceeding Expectations
28 September 2009


Northern Petroleum Plc
("Northern" or "The Company" or "NOP")

GEESBRUG - ANOTHER FRACTURING EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS


Hydraulic fracturing in the Geesbrug-1 well of the Carboniferous Hardenberg and Permian Rotliegend
formations in the Dutch Drenthe III licence area has been successfully completed.

Post fracturing the well has flowed on test beyond the upper range of Northern's expectations with stable
gas flow rates of 450,000 m3/d (16.7 MMscf/d) and flowing wellhead absolute pressures of 170 bar (2465
psia) on a 36/64" choke. Measurements made during tests combining flow from both the Rotliegend and
Hardenberg formations, indicated that the Rotliegend formation alone is capable of flowing at over 260,000
m/d (9.6 mmscf/d).

This highly successful five well programme of hydraulic fracturing of reservoirs carried out at Brakel,
Wijk en Aalburg, Ottoland, Grolloo and Geesbrug over the last ten months is now concluded. Construction
activities for short pipelines have commenced for the tie in for production of the Geesbrug and Grolloo
fields.

These results also have much relevance to the Tiendeveen prospect currently drilling 3.8 kms northwest of
Geesbrug targeting the same formation.

"The results of hydraulic fracturing have already exceeded even our upside expectations. Even with the
upcoming tests results of Rotliegend still to be analysed, shareholders and the Northern team should relish
bringing the Grolloo and Geesbrug fields on production providing a strong revenue stream." said Derek
Musgrove, Managing Director of Northern.

NPN maintains a 45% licence and working interest, with EBN and Dyas respectively holding 40% and 15%.
In accordance with the AIM Rules - Guidance for Mining and Oil & Gas Companies, the information contained
in this announcement has been reviewed and signed off by the Exploration and Technical Director of Northern

Notes to Editors:

Northern is an AIM quoted oil and gas production, development, exploration and asset trading company
focused on petroleum producing areas of low political risk in Europe. The Company strategy is to obtain
significant and concentrated licence positions then add value at reasonable risk utilising new ideas
together with new drilling, seismic, completion, field development and computer technologies to establish
economic oil and gas production.

The Company's activities are concentrated in three countries (Netherlands, Italy and England) with the risk
spread over more than 50 projects in 12 petroleum systems. Following the recent acquisition of ATI Oil
Plc, Northern holds over 103 million barrels of reported Proven & Probable Reserves. It has interests in 4
producing fields, both onshore and offshore, one of which it manages.

The development of six onshore oil and gas fields is being progressed in The Netherlands under Northern
management (Northern Petroleum Nederland B.V.) with Dyas B.V., EBN, the Netherlands' state oil company, and
NAM.

Northern currently manages the largest licensed exploration area in Italy, over 15,000km, predominantly
offshore, but includes six onshore permits in the Po Valley gas and oil province in the north of the
country.

UK production comes from a 10% interest in the Horndean oil field and a 5% interest in the Avington oil
field, both in West Sussex and Hampshire respectively. It also has planning consents to drill in the near
future an eastward extension of the Horndean oil field and an exploration well at Havant. Northern has a
50% interest in these ventures.

poor old hyleo been shorting around a quid, lol

DJ Northern Petroleum Discovers Gas At Tiendeveen-1 Well

LONDON (Dow Jones)--Northern Petroleum PLC(NOP.LN), said Thursday that gas has been discovered in the Tiendeveen -1 exploration well.

MAIN FACTS:

-The gas in the Permian Zechstein carbonates which had been identified as a secondary target in the well has been confirmed from wireline logs and drilling data.

-The Geesbrug gas field which Northern is developing nearby is also gas bearing in the same Zechstein reservoir.

-Northern will review both the Tiendeveen and Geesbrug data to assess the range of possible reserves, development options and synergies.

-No potential gas in place volumes were assigned to the Zechstein prior to drilling.

-The intermediate casing will now be run in the hole cemented and pressure tested before the drilling deeper to the primary reservoir targets located in the Permian Rotliegend sandstone and the Carboniferous Dalen and Hardenberg sandstones.

-The estimated mean potential gas in place for these reservoirs is 60 bcf with an upside P10 potential of 98 bcf.

-Once drilling has been completed further wireline logging will be undertaken on Tiendeveen to confirm the presence of hydrocarbons in the deeper primary targets.

-Partners in the well are Northern Petroleum Nederland B.V. (NPN is a wholly owned subsidiary of Northern) with 45%, EBN, the state oil company and Dyas B.V. with 40% and 15% respectively.
