In today's Sunday Times:

'... President Petroleum will get a boost this week when a report reveals a big jump in its reserves... A prospective resources statement is expected to reveal oil and gas reserves worth at least 77p a share. President's shares closed on Friday at 40p.'

NB: this company is run by Peter Levine, who pocketed an estimated £120m when he sold his previous company, Imperial Energy.

Think I'll buy some shares first thing tomorrow.

Hope you got them first thing seem to have shot up I already hold just hoping to break even. Good luck!

Drilling Update: DP-1001 Well - Dos Puntitas Field



Successful results substantially ahead of expectations



Further to the Company's announcement on 19 March 2012, President is pleased to announce that Well DP-1001 has been logged and preliminary evaluation demonstrates that the well has been very successful and substantially above expectations.



The well has found the Oil Water Contact at or near its original level and combined with a well location in a structurally high position, DP-1001 has encountered an oil column substantially longer than expected. The log demonstrates a gross oil column of 54 metres at a depth of between 3115 -3169 metres with a net pay of 33 metres. In addition, rock properties and hydrocarbon saturations are seen to be at the high end of the pre-drill range.



President will test three reservoir intervals, all of which appear capable of primary production not requiring fraccing or artificial stimulation. The deeper two zones are A5 and A6 sandstones, themselves capable of initial flow rates well in excess of the pre-drill prediction of 380 bopd post frac for the whole well. The upper Limestone interval is also expected to contribute to immediate production, and has historically produced in the Dos Puntitas Field. Accordingly, President is confident that the pre drill production prediction will be materially exceeded without the need for fraccing. The same Limestone interval has already been identified as containing significant, additional new oil in place elsewhere in the Puesto Guardian Concession. Two new cores have been cut in the DP- 1001 well to examine rock properties and hydrocarbon saturation. The cores are the first to be cut for 25 years and combined with the new logs they show that the Limestone interval has good matrix porosity, expected to be capable of un-stimulated commercial flow rates. The new logs and cores have provided valuable new information to optimize reservoir models and help maximise recovery factors and flow rates.



Testing of the well is expected to commence within the next few days, and will be brought into production during April.



A location has been chosen for the third well (DP-1002) of the 2012 five well programme, which demonstrates the same characteristics as DP-1001. This third well is expected to be spudded within the next 14 days.



Richard Hubbard, President Chief Operating Officer commented, "Initial results from the DP-1001 well leave President confident to test and complete multiple intervals and place the well on production without any need for prior fraccing as had been the original expectation."



Commenting on today's announcement, Peter Levine, Chairman of President Petroleum Company Holdings BV said:



"The results of DP-1001 are extremely encouraging and we are looking forward to materially increasing production as a result of this new well. We view the future with increasing confidence as we continue to plan both for new wells and the upcoming frac campaign on old shut-in wells."

Encouraging news Chav. So you haven't given up on this yet!

Very good news Maggie...this area is proving very successful for PPC thus far.

Cannot bode well for any companies with Argentine assets :

Fracking to stimulate President Operational activity could help support a rerating of Latin American explorer - Tom Sieber A 20% year-to-date fall in Latin American energy play President Energy (PPC:AIM) has created an interesting opportunity ahead of imminent operational newsflow.Fracture stimulation or ‘fracking’ operations to test the potential of the limestone reservoirs on its 50%-owned Puesto Guardian block in Argentina commenced on Monday (15 Apr). A successful outcome could help push the shares closer to broker Jefferies’ 29p a share valuation based on the firm’s discovered resourcesSome kind of political discount is inevitable, considering the Argentine government’s decision last April to seize the assets of Spanish firm Repsol (REP:MC). But 2013’s poor year-to-date run, following weather-related delays at Puesto Guardian, mean the risks are more than discounted in the counter trading at 20.1p. If initial fracking helps to increase current gross production of 450 barrels of oil per day President has identified a further three follow-up wells and is examining another 20 candidates for a wider programme. The group is expected to produce a reserves update based on a fresh independent audit of Puesto Guardian at the mid-year point. The share price weakness means potentially high-impact exploration in Paraguay, where first drilling is expected next year, is effectively in the price for nothing. Initial results from a seismic survey in Paraguay are expected in the fourth quarter of 2013. President’s executive chairman Peter Levine has a track record of successfully building a business through acquisition and development drilling. He founded Russia-based Imperial Energy and listed it on Aim in 2004 with an initial market cap of £2 million. In August 2008 the company was bought by Indian state energy company ONGC for £1.4 billion. Shares says: Buy President Energy at 20.8p

Positive rating on PPC

Argentina Still the Only Fly in the Ointment: Today’s full year results not only underline the progress that the Company has made over the last 12 months, but that its management team is focusing on measured growth with a balance between cash sources and cash uses. While it might seem obsequious, the fact that it recognises the need to fund its work programme with organic cash flow is welcome. However, the one issue that we have is that a substantial proportion of the Company’s growth in the near to medium term will be focused on Argentina, a country which continues to be run into the ground by its government. On this basis, the fruits of its diversification strategy can’t come soon enough, which in turn is the Company’s major risk factor. That said, management is doing all it can to mitigate this prospect, and while 2013 will be a transition year, as the acquisitions made in 2012 are bedded in, we believe that the Company is well poised to make progress.

In this news:

• Corporate Highlights

o Significant expansion of the Company with entry into Paraguay by way of a farm-in, as operator, to world class exploration assets, which provide material upside leverage in the near to medium term, with operations already underway

o Total hydrocarbon production up 44% year-on-year

o Net risked Prospective Resources increased by 109.3mmboe, as a result of the Paraguay acquisition and independent technical review during 2012, with risked NPV10 success case value net to President in excess of US$2 billion (management estimates)

o Increased exploration upside complemented by existing 2P reserves of 6.9mmboe

o Fraccing campaign underway in Argentina, and two new 100% owned and operated concessions added to the portfolio through an open tender

o Louisiana continues to provide solid profits and cash flow

o Non-core Australian assets subject to current farm-out discussions

o Net revenue for the year increased by 60% to US$11.3mm (2011: US$7.0mm) while gross profit increased by 64% to US$3.2mm (2011: US$2.0mm)

o Cash balances of US$17.5mm at the year end with nil gearing and US$15mmof unused loan facilities

o Board strengthened by appointments of Dr. Richard Hubbard (Chief Operating Officer), Miles Biggins (Commercial Director), and Dr. David Jenkins (Non-Executive Deputy Chairman)

• Outlook

o Exciting prospects in Paraguay with a rapidly moving programme and potential for exponential growth in shareholder value during 2013 and 2014 with a success case target of over US$2 billion net to President

o Following interpretation of the 3D seismic, Paraguay drilling campaign to commence in Q2 2014

o Potential to materially increase production in Argentina from current fraccing campaign

o Louisiana is a continued source of solid profits and cash flow.

President Energy (PPC) is an E&P with core assets in Paraguay, Argentina and the US. Unusually for a company of its size, President has a very strong board and sound institutional investor base. The jewel in the crown is its acreage in Paraguay, where drilling in 2014 could discover fields worth many times the current share price. Recent work in Argentina should lead to material production increases in 2013, while exploration in Argentina in 2014 would also add substantial value. Our RENAV is 59p.

Directors of President Energy (LON:PPC) have bought shares in the firm worth almost £36,000.

They bought 170,000 shares yesterday (May 8) at around 21p per share.

Miles Biggins now owns 0.04% of the capital; John Hamilton has 0.15%; Richard Hubbard has 0.13%; David Jenkins owns 0.05% and David Wake-Walker has 0.1%.

Earlier in May, the company said last year’s farm-in agreements into “world class” concessions in Paraguay are set to prompt a step-change in the company’s fortunes.

The company, which also has assets in Argentina and in Louisiana plus a non-core asset in Australia, is particularly excited about the Paraguayan assets.

Takes a few more shares out of circulation, but means no RSN for a month I think.

from the Times on 16th Aug

PPC is the subject of 'Deal of the Day". "There are rumours of "Seismic" news from Paraguay exploration"

Shares are in demand today

D&P New World hedge fund notified over 3% share holding the other day. Looking at the trades today I suspect they are continuing to add. Expect an RNS on the increase soon.

PPC article from OilBarrel. 29/08/2013
President Energy begins to make headway with its drilling programme in Argentina President Energy’s gamble or, rather, calculation that going into Argentina would give it the step up in output it needed looks as if it is starting to pay off. Over the course of August the company reported that two of the three wells in its fracking programme in Argentina have shown gratifying initial results. Also, in Paraquay, which President CEO John Hamilton describes as the group’s “jewel in the crown” a seismic programme has identified some intriguing new targets.President has some solid producing assets in the US but it decided to go into Argentina by way of diversification despite the political risk. The perception is the country has politically driven anti-business policies. Also IMF censure, high inflation and tight capital controls continue to spook investors. It is not that the US has served President badly. In Louisiana its properties helped drive a 60 per cent increase in net revenues to US$11.3 million while gross profit was up 64 per cent at US$3.2 million. Net losses narrowed at US$4.4 million in 2012 .Since then production has continued to mount and recently was running at a three year record level of 285 barrels of oil equivalent per day, with 88 per cent of this being oil priced at a premium to WTI. Compared to many of its AIM peers, President is in a rock solid position, with the company fully funded for 2013 (around US$12 million on seismic in Paraguay and US$4 million on the wells in Argentina and the US).Yet the Louisiana properties were never going to generate material upside. It was the hunt for future growth that took President into Argentina, hoping no doubt that there were enough investors who were happy with a small cap exposure to Argentina. It was two years ago that the company landed its Puesto Guardian concession, home to five neglected oilfields, at an acquisition price of US$2.20 per 2P barrel. Production, to date, has undershot the guidance set in 2011, due to weather-related delays and necessary equipment upgrades, weighing on the share price.The hope was that the 2013 work programme, which involves workovers of previously shut-in wells and a pilot three well fracking programme, would to unlock the potential of these assets. Analysts at Edison Investment Research said the workovers alone could take it past cash flow breakeven while the fracking of three wells to test a tight carbonate reservoir above the current producing interval could “add materially” to the company’s existing 2P base of 6.6mmboe.The first of the “fracks” suggested these wells could indeed mean considerable upside. The first of the three wells on the Pueblo Guardian concession in which President has a 50 per cent working interest was the Well DP 1001 at the Dos Puntitas field and it performed ahead of expectations. The well flowed (without pump) into the facility at a gross flow rate of liquids (oil and injection water) of 490 bopd. The oil cut was 70 per cent and continued, as expected, to increase steadily as the injection water continued to be cleared up.This gross flow rate represented a five-fold increase in production pre-stimulation, with oil coming from both the carbonates and A6 sand sections. The reservoir pressure was estimated at 4,130 psi which is within 10 per cent of the original field pressure recorded in 1983.Now we have the initial results of the second and third wells in the programme, the PE-7 and PE-8 wells on the Puesto Guardian Concession. The PE-7 spent the latter part of August being cleaned up. The well, which has been shut in for 27 years, has been demonstrating good flow rate potential in line with the company’s expectations, and has been swabing at a gross flow rate of 230 bopd.The oil cut was 30 to 40 per cent and continued, as expected to increase.
