http://www.gulfkeystone.com/ The firms exploration programme in Algeria is going well and "the shares look good value", say the Investors Chronicle. Your comments please. goal.

somehow.

more likely to be 150 till new yr.,.

The independent article is certainly doing the rounds,with both reuters and bloomberg reporting it. Causing a lot of excitement and not a little ramping,apparently the Chinese have offered $27Billion,well lets see what tomorrow brings?
My preference would be Bekhme-1 coming up trumps and who knows GENL mihjt release Ber Bahir results too,can't one dream?

Oh and GKP's board have dismissed the $10.7b offer as totally unacceptable? lol

Just a case of being patient and waiting for it.

No RNS.

nice if it has substance ......for no really good reason bought a few more on friday

.

Me too.2 small top ups at 170p,so the 210p is a good return for such a short time. Think i'll hang on and see how it pans out.

Dropping like a stone,over 12m trades,down to 204p at present.

About time this rumour was denied by the directors.

this morning Reuters.......

UPDATE 1-Exxon mulls 7 bln stg approach for Gulf Keystone-paper
18 Dec 2011 - 16:05

(Adds Gulf Keystone no comment)

LONDON, Dec 18 (Reuters) - U.S. oil major Exxon Mobil Corp is mulling a 7 billion pound ($10.9 billion) takeover of Kurdistan-focused explorer Gulf Keystone Petroleum , the Independent on Sunday reported.

The newspaper said that Exxon is considering making an estimated 800 pence per share bid for Britain's Gulf Keystone, which has made huge oil finds in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq.

"It's not our practice to comment on media reports, rumours or speculation," an Exxon spokesman told Reuters in an emailed statement.

Gulf Keystone also declined to comment.

Exxon has "sounded out" Gulf Keystone about the possible deal, said the report without citing its sources, adding that it is thought that the company would not accept an offer at the 800 pence per share level.

So they are going to buy Afren instead ......... I wish

No sooner than I said I had doubts about the 200p mark.......damn....for once not in....should have been.....

I had a little spare cash,so i bought a few more 195p. The news has been reported worldwide,giving it more clout this time? aimho
