In addition to my post above, there is the "three keys to the door, well the whole estate" remark of the JT at the London meeting.

Also for those of a faint heart when they read reports like that from the Korean journo, just remember how much work PET have already done in Iraq and then ask yourself how much the Koreans have done.

Must admit I have done no research on Korean activity in Iraq over the past nine years, but I wouldn't have thought it amounted to much.

A "political decision" insofar as PET is entirely neutral and a "business decision" insofar as PET have a successful nine year working relationship in with the IOM.

The potential of this share is astonishing, if the following is true, and I have no reason to disbelieve it:
"......when I asked DH about Halfaya, I mentioned BHP Billiton, he said that they were not in the picture. He also said in response to my question that it was as much a political decision to ask PET to work on Halfaya as it was business lead..",

a political reason as to why PET should get the Halfaya Field, then this alone suggests PET is going to be massive.

I'm in.

As has become ever clearer over the last few months, Iraq's energy sector is heavily dependent on the result of the various deliberations regarding the proposed hydrocarbon law. Attending the summit to offer the perspective of the Iraqi Parliament were Dr Abdulmadi Al-Hasani, Deputy Head of the Iraq Energy Committee, Dr Kamal Field Al-Basri, senior economic adviser to Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki and executive director of the Iraq Institute for Economic Reform and Sammy Al-Askary, a member of parliament and a senior advisor to the PM. These officials led a hugely informative session on the present status of the law, expectations in light of parliament's imminent return from recess and predictions for when it is expected to be passed in the coming weeks.

Barty- the presentation appeared on the 3rd May 2007.
I have found this comment from ciao on the 4th May so far

I have just spoken to James Finn at Clontarf Road and in summary this is what he told me.

The mention of Halfaya was removed for competitive reasons and also because they thought on reflection that it should not have been included in the presentation at this point in time. He agreed that the Halfaya field was a 10+billion barrel oil field and that they had been asked to work on it. They are also pursuing other opportunities (I think he meant apart from those mentioned in the presentation) in Iraq.

He did say that no contracts had been signed but they were hopeful they would be successful after the HCL was agreed.

The financial page was removed because that also not the type of information that should be in a presentation of this type.

They will be raising funds through institutions because that is the quickest and most cost effective way of doing it. It is much easier for them to "make five or six calls to institutions" than to go through all the work involved in an offering to private investors. He also did not diaagree with me when I said that the company might want to get a higher percentage of their shares held by institutions.

The Dubai listing has been put back due to their being "a hiccup" last year with them rather than with anything to do with PET.

I said that the information in the presentation was as close as one could get to an RNS without it actually issuing one. He replied in the form that regulations (for AIM stocks) required them to put such information out.

I mentioned that Wednesday might be an exciting day with the publication of the Iraqi oil map and he agreed.

He was very polite and a engaging and did not give me the impression that he wanted to get me off the line.

I wished him a good weekend and he checked with me that Monday was a Bank Holiday in the UK.

clarify the situation for me or did someone mess up big time. Best Rgds
Pete,

Iraq to issue tenders for international oil firms



MENAFN - 10/09/2007 [-] Text [+]





(MENAFN) Iraq's Oil Minister announced that the country will issue tenders for international oil companies (IOCs) in order to improve its exisiting oil fields in 2007, Gulf Daily News reported.

He further mentioned that the measure will be carried out regardless of the overdue new law to regulate Iraq's energy sector and that the Iraqi Parliament has issued a law which permits officials to act upon any field development contract.

It is of significance that the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) has already forced the renegotiation of the bill and international oil executives privately.

If anyone missed it.Chart and t/a PET confirmed as a buy.As each day passes nearer PET gets to HCL and contracts.Exact dates & how many contracts we wait to have confirmed.Huge potential.aimvho.dyor.

is this about to plummet?

i always seem to buy into dodgy shares at wrong time? i bought at 150p last week

scott--------who knows? The bid has been lowered quite aggressively, but the offer is unchanged (atm), awaiting the news of HCL and contracts is not easy and with the turmoil in financials, investors are looking to take their profits, however we are believed to be only a couple of weeks away from the news, and if the HCL is passed and PET get contract awards (which seem likely), then the sp could be looking very conservative. aimo of course. Good look all holders. Where's lex gone?
2517

His typing finger fell off. - Scott--- Agree totally with 2517 worth waiting for the HCL. Also read somewhere that contracts could be awarded before HCL being passed Also aimo.

maggiebt4--------yes I read that about contracts, I am holding for the hopefully greater benefits to come to fruition, it would be very strange if PET did not gain a meaningful foothold, seeing as they have been prepared to work in Iraq with the Ministry of Oil for 9-10 years, whereas others would not take the risk. It would appear that The Ministry of Oil have a good working relationship with PET, would they be prepared to risk that?
2517

Here's hoping 2517 I could do with a tidy profit as I've made a bit of a horlicks this year so far!
