Exploration for oil and gas

Borders & Southern is a UK-based, London Stock Exchange (AIM) listed company, engaged in the exploration for hydrocarbons. The company is focused on frontier or emerging basins where there is potential to identify and commercialise high value prospects.

The company’s first project is located to the south of the Falkland Islands where it holds a 100% interest and operatorship in five Production Licences covering an area of nearly 20,000 sq km. The acreage is completely untested. The company is currently planning its first drilling campaign.

With tensions growing between the UK and Argentina over the Falklands, investors are keeping an eye on every update from companies operating in the region.

Argentina said on Thursday it would take legal action explorers off the Falklands, and now Borders & Southern has announced delays with its Darwin prospect after unspecified technical issues involved rig equipment. The well is now operating again, but it will need an extra four to five weeks of work to get back on track. After an early dip in the company's share price, it is now 2.5p higher at 70.25p. Dr Dougie Youngson at Seymour Pierce said:


This is a disappointing result today as we had actually been expecting this well to have been completed about now. The announcement has not provided any real details on what the issues were, but we can only assume they were significant given the length of the delay for completion of this well. This delay will also impact Falkland Oil & Gas which will take the rig once Borders has completed its two well programme.

This is a disappointing announcement compounded by the threat of sanctions [by Argentina].


Nick Copeman at Oriel Securities said the delay would add around $15m to $20m to the rig costs, but he believed the company still had enough funds to drill Darwin and the Stebbing prospect, provided there were no more significant delays.

Still got that short running cynic?

i do ..... won't make me a fortune, but slowly going in the right direction

banked the profit at 68 .... a little less than it would have been earlier today, but never mind

nice rise today but another 3 to 4 weeks till results.

i thought of continuing to hold, but if bor fluke a find then share will rocket ..... prudence (a lovely girl) dictated to bank a respectable profit

cynic is prudence your "bird in the hand".......?

no bush, so i guess so :-)

News soon?

Maybe next week then?

Think that bush needs trimming.,.

Crew change tom......could be intresting.

i stupidly (greedily) bought back 3500 FOGL(!) @ 70p the other day, on the basis that they wouldn't fall to zero on another bor dud, but would do rather well on at least an encouraging fluke

Ah, thus eliminating the need for any gnashing of teeth!!! I thought you might! ;o)

pure gluttony (for punishment) - note bought FOGL NOT BOR

Have sold out of FOGL today also not holding BOR,BOR need to find oil not gas for now, very surprised to see the SP up today.

Who says it's only gas any gas ?......the trouble with rumours is that can you go by them ?.....if and it's a big if......gas would be good for FOGL because hydrocarbons are present here in the south falklands.....for BOR : it would have to be in quantity...several trillion cubic feet.....but until we have further news....to me FOGL is the one to be in and BOR is a gamble still.....

Don't want to be pedantic rf, but all of the Co's which haven't yet hit are a gamble.

True....the stockmarket itself is a gamble.....but does anybody on these threads enjoy 1 to 2 % interest a year in a savings account....?....complete waste of time that....as long as over a period of time : you make a profit on trading...what the hell......
