Yes i bought a some not as many as i would have liked,had to sell others to
release funds. Doing very well this am, up over 12% at 41.25p,news shouldn't
be to far off now?
cyril

Flying now, up over 17% to 43p.
cyril

It's up a lot today. I've not seen any new news or tips. Not sure what has prompted the sudden rise.

Max i can only think that its a week since the last RNS and perhaps logging
results due in the very near future?
cyril

The 15% rise here today relates to a whole lot more against the general market.
Along with OEX +3%, 2 of the few to end up blue, slightly surprised DGO lost a
little ground late on,due i expect to profit taking in dodgy times?
cyril

Dropped back to a touch under 40p today. Hopefully results from A-6 next week.

$0.23m !!! Cheap as chips. If I'd known the blocks were that cheap, I might have had a go myself! I wonder if the value reflects the risk?

Leed to acquire Challenger Minerals interested in Main Pass.

"The Company's management team knows the Main Pass area very well. This is a
solid, low risk acquisition that, upon completion, will immediately increase the
Company's revenues and reserves."

Positive update on A-6 well

"Initial results of the well exceed the Company's expectations and provide the potential for reserves upgrades."

"Analysis of the logs indicates that the objective sand is thicker and of higher quality than the Company had expected prior to drilling. At the time of admission to AIM, the competent person, an independent reservoir engineering firm, credited the primary zone with 2P* reserves of 824 thousand barrels of oil and 4.8 billion cubic feet of gas. Based on the Company's evaluation of the logs, the Company's internal post-drill reserve estimate for the primary zone exceeds this by one third. Moreover, the Company believes that after the well has produced for a short time the Company's independent reserve auditor will move a substantial portion of the pre-drill estimated 2P* reserves into the 1P* category."

Leed are currently making preparations for production from A-6.

They are also preparing to test the deeper "highly prospective" zone in the same well

Odd trading patterns following the announcement. Spike on day chart caused by the offer briefly hitting 50p with 20% spread before settling back to normal.

Hi Max, almost posted this am my feeling it was about time for some news, but
refained. Missed this news as i was golfing, amazing that trading pattern.I'll be
interested to see how things pan out tomorrow?

Since this thread started, the news has been exclusively good with hints about more positive news to come, yet the SP has barely moved.

Today's news is again positive. Yesterday's was very important I feel and I'm surprised that there was no rise. Leed got a brief mention in today's Times, so maybe a few more buyers will prompt a rise today.

Drilling Update


Leed Petroleum PLC, the oil and gas exploration and production company focused
on the Gulf of Mexico, announces the successful drilling of the secondary target
zone on the Eugene Island A-6 development well, which was spudded on 16
September 2007.

Analysis of the well logs acquired over the secondary target zone indicate a
productive gas reservoir has been encountered with approximately 51 ft of true
vertical thickness pay.

The encouraging results for the secondary objective are in addition to the
successful drilling of the primary target, which was announced on 7 February
2008. The secondary objective is a new discovery and until further analysis has
been carried out, the Company is not in a position to estimate any reserves
attributable to this zone.

The well has reached a measured depth of 15,876 feet and drilling continues
ahead to the third and final target zone. On completion of the drilling, Leed
will case the remaining section of the A-6 development well and carry out
production tests to determine flow rates. The refurbishment of existing
facilities to accommodate production from the well is in the final stages and
the Company expects to begin producing hydrocarbons shortly after well
completion.

The Eugene Island Blocks are located 50 miles offshore, south of Morgan City,
Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico in approximately 80 feet of water. Leed's
management team has built an inventory of development projects and exploration
targets across the Eugene Island Block 183/184 field.



Howard Wilson, President and Chief Executive of Leed Petroleum PLC, commented:

'We are very pleased with the discovery at our secondary target and continue to
drill ahead to test our final exploratory zone. Re-commissioning of the
existing production facilities is nearly finished and production from this well
is expected to occur shortly after well completion.'

The information contained in this announcement has been reviewed and approved by
Chris Thompson, Manager of Business Development at the Company who is a
reservoir engineer (SPE) with over 15 years experience within the sector.

Max a very pleasing result, this lower level can be classed as a new field. Not
sure the total depth of this well, but hopefully by the end of March it will completed along with testing, and production will follow shortly afterwards.

Guardian: "On AIM, Leed Petroleum rose following a positive drilling report. The company said it had successfully drilled the secondary target zone on the Eugene Island A-6 well in the Gulf of Mexico. Leed continues drilling to penetrate the third target zone. The news helped Leed's shares climb 5p to 40.50p."

Times: "Leed Petroleum rose 5p to 40p on finding a second gas reservoir underneath the first one it found in the Gulf of Mexico. In a few weeks it will have drilled down to its third target and will start pumping the first reservoir."

In the world's best value investment mag, Shares Magazine (of course), there is an article on Leed Petroleum this week. Go and buy it!

Leeds Eugene Island find
Gulf of Mexico-focused Leed Petroleum (LDP:AIM) has made a gas discovery at its Eugene Island A-6 well.

The company announced that it had successfully drilled the secondary target on the well and, having reached a depth of 15,876 feet, drilling will now continue ahead to the third and final target zone.

CEO Howard says: 'The results, when we have them, will have a very positive impact on the company and should result in substantial additions to our reserve base. Recomissioning of existing production facilities is nearly finished and production is expected shortly after well completion.'

The share price slicked up around 14% to 40.5p in response to the update.

Drilling Update and Report on Future Drilling Activity


Leed Petroleum PLC, the oil and gas exploration and production company focused
on the Gulf of Mexico, announces the completion of drilling of the Eugene Island
A-6 development well.

This well targeted one development and two exploratory objectives. Previously,
the Company announced that commercial production was found in the development
and first exploratory objectives.

The second exploratory objective has now been logged. The logs indicate six
feet of (net) pay for this zone which will add only marginally to reserves. The
Company intends to conduct further study over the coming months to determine if
drilling another well to this same reservoir in search of thicker pay is
warranted.

Overall, the A-6 well is a substantial economic success. The Company estimates
that reserves from this well are more than double the pre-drill estimate
prepared by the competent person at the time of admission to AIM. At that time,
the competent person, an independent reservoir engineering firm, credited the
well with total (gross) 2P* reserves of 824 thousand barrels of oil and 4.8
billion cubic feet of gas.

The Company is working on completing the well for production from the first
exploratory target, log results from which indicate 51 ft of true vertical
thickness pay. The first sale of production from this zone is expected to occur
in April 2008.

Upon the establishment of production from the A-6 well, Leed intends to use the
drilling rig at Eugene Island to drill the A-7 well. This well will target two
primary pay zones in a separate fault block of the Eugene Island field.

The Eugene Island Blocks are located 50 miles offshore, south of Morgan City,
Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico in approximately 80 feet of water. Leed's
management team has built an inventory of development projects and exploration
targets across the Eugene Island Block 183/184 field.

Howard Wilson, President and Chief Executive of Leed Petroleum PLC, commented:
'We are very pleased by the results of our first well in the drilling programme.
The A-6 well is a significant commercial result, adding substantial new 2P
reserves and materially increasing Leed's daily production rate once brought on
stream in April.

Our drilling programme will now move to the even more promising Eugene Island
A-7 exploration well, which we are on track to spud in April this year.'
