Faroe Petroleum will deliver its preliminary results for the year ended 31st December on 25th March 2014.

Taking a long time testing the intervals....good....

StockMarketWire.com
Independent oil and gas group Faroe Petroleum's revenues fell to £129.4m in the year to the end of December - down from £158.8m last time.

EBITDAX fell to £80.5m (2012: £96.3m) but the group posts a profit after tax pf £14.1m compared with a loss of £5.2m a year ago as exploration write-offs fell to £15.4m (2012: £71.1m).

Chief executive Graham Stewart said: "2013 was another year in which we delivered a sustained, high impact exploration programme, which delivered success with the drill bit, coupled with a significant increase in our 2P reserves and contingent resources.

"Our active exploration drilling programme continues with operations ongoing on three exploration wells in Norway - Pil (Faroe 25%), Solberg (Faroe 20%) and Butch East (Faroe 15%). Pil has already been announced as an oil and gas discovery and a production test is under way. Butch East is the first of two back-to-back wells on the Butch area, on the same structure as the significant Butch Main discovery with the Butch South West well to follow. Drilling operations are also ongoing on Solberg.

Following the Pil and Snilehorn successes, further de-risked drilling targets are currently being matured for near-term drilling while additional prospects are also being prepared for drilling decisions. With the new Snilehorn and Pil discoveries, the Greater Njord Area is increasingly becoming an exciting asset with substantial remaining reserves, new discovered resources, and further high potential drilling targets. "We have strengthened our production portfolio with the East Foinaven oil field acquisition and by bringing both the Hyme oil field and the Orca gas field on-stream in 2013. The unscheduled production interruption on Njord and the Hyme satellite since July 2013 affected production levels in the year and we look forward to their return to production this summer.

"Faroe is in an excellent position to create significant shareholder value by continuing its successful and sustainable multi-well drilling campaign while in parallel pursuing further investment and acquisition opportunities."

Results....the thing to pick out is : looks like (fingers crossed) that they might have hit the jackpot with several oil discoveries in the same area ...and possible linked ?...(25 percent owned)....extra wells needed to confirm....sp could soar if confirmed !...

sp rising.....taking ages for drill testing and results....who knows ?,...a billion barrel discovery ?....perhaps not...but 500 million barrels ?...perhaps...perhaps not quite so much...just praying that this share doesn't give me the Pharaoh's again !...

Up again ...on a bad day....rns due....for once : it might be a superb discovery !...with good flow rates...

.

Still no update......but this could be one of their best ever rns's coming up....fingers crossed.......

Superb results !....I was almost expecting it....plus perhaps much more to come with two side tracks and the Butch well !...

Faroe Petroleum has announced a successful drill stem test on the 6406/12-3S Pil exploration well (Faroe 25%), drilled 33 kilometres from the Njord production facility (Faroe 7.5%) in the Norwegian Sea. Faroe said the well flowed at a stable rate of 6,710 bopd of 37° API oil from a 56/64-inch choke providing clear evidence of a prolific reservoir.

The preliminary estimated range of recoverable resource, from the results of the initial exploration well, is between 50 and 170 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) - significantly greater than expected.

A sidetrack well is to be drilled immediately following completion of the DST to appraise the lateral extent of the Pil discovery.

A second sidetrack well to test further prospectivity in the neighbouring Bue target is also being planned in immediate succession.

Up a fraction on a red day......much more to come from FPM....

Double page article in Shares mag !...excellent read....Pil discovery might be much bigger than anticipated...this is what I've been thinking all along.....way undervalued this company !...

At long last the market is realising how undervalued this company is.....sp might make 180p plus if Pil (now sidetracking) is much bigger than first estimated....plus Butch (North Sea) ongoing as well.....all helping to push the sp higher !...(by far my biggest holding)....so much potential in this share...will end up being taken over for sure...

Up a touch again...

OK...own up ...who put the one share deal through ?.....mighty risky trade that...

Two shares now.....twice as many...

Acquisition of Operated Interests in UK Producing Ketch and Schooner Fields
Faroe Petroleum is pleased to announce the conditional acquisition of a 60% operated interest in the Ketch Field and a 53.1% operated interest in the Schooner Field in the UK Southern North Sea gas basin (the "Interests") from Tullow Oil SK Limited ("Tullow Oil"), a subsidiary of Tullow Oil plc (the "Acquisition") for an initial consideration of £35m.

Highlights
o Faroe to hold a 60% operated interests in the Ketch and Schooner fields by acquiring

· 60% operated interest in the Ketch Field

· 53.1% operated interest in the Schooner Unit (Faroe currently 6.9%)

o Estimated net production to Faroe from the Interests in 2014 of 3,000 - 4,000 boepd taking estimates of the Company average economic production for 2014 to 7,000 - 10,000 boepd

o 2P Reserves at effective date of 1 January 2014 estimated at 5.9 mmboe, net to Faroe, taking total net reserves to 33.1 mmboe

o Initial consideration of £35 million

o Ketch and Schooner are established gas fields each with considerable upside potential to increase production, grow reserves and extend field life

o Establishes Faroe as an operator of producing assets in the UK North Sea

o Acquisition anticipated to complete before year-end, with initial consideration reduced for net income attributable to the Interests since the effective date of 1 January 2014

o 2013 pre-tax profits of £18.6 million attributable to the Interests

The Ketch and Schooner Fields are located in Block 44/28b, and Blocks 44/26a and 43/30a in the UK sector of the Southern North Sea, 150 kilometres from the Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal on the Lincolnshire coast. The Ketch Field was discovered in 1984 and the Schooner Field in 1987, with first gas from Schooner in 1996 and Ketch in 1999. Both fields, developed by then-operator Shell, are multi-well developments with 'normally unmanned' platforms, currently managed by a third party Duty Holder. Gas is exported via the Caister Murdoch facilities to the Conoco-operated Theddlethorpe Gas Terminal where it is sold into the National Grid.

At 1 January 2014 the remaining Proven and Probable Reserves for the Interests were estimated by the Company to be 34 Bcf of gas and 0.3 mmbbl of condensate, equating to 5.9 mmboe in total, net to Faroe.

The initial consideration for the Acquisition, is £35 million payable to Tullow Oil in cash, which is to be funded from the Company's existing reserve based lending debt facility. The actual sum payable at completion will be reduced to take into account net income attributable to the Interests from the effective date of 1 January 2014. Further consideration of up to £10 million will be paid to Tullow if up to 10 Bcf gross (6 Bcf net to Faroe) of incremental gas is produced from a specific reservoir compartment on the Schooner field recently developed by the 2013 SA11 well. In addition, Faroe has identified several potential areas for investment in these assets, in order to further enhance reserves and value and to extend field life, certain of which are the subject of contingent royalties. In the event that the Schooner joint venture pursues the exploration and subsequent development of the Schooner C and Schooner Far NW targets, royalty payments will become due to Tullow Oil as to 50p/mscf on the first 250 Bcf gross production from the Schooner C area and 50p/mscf on the first 100 Bcf of gross production from Schooner Far NW area, up to a maximum potential £92.2million. For such royalty payments to be paid in full, approximately 35mmboe net to Faroe would have to be produced from the Schooner C and Schooner Far NW areas, compared to the current 5.9mmboe of net Proven and Probable reserves.

The estimated average 2014 production from the Interests is expected to be between 3,000 and 4,000 boepd net to Faroe. This raises the Company's guidance for full-year Economic Production for the year ended 31 December 2014 to between 7,000 and 10,000 boepd.

Another good move by this company it seems ....

150p. A little too far too fast, imo. Am tempted to take profit tomorrow and wait for a drop.

No drop if Butch turns out alright and Pil might be much..much...larger than first estimations !....40 million at first now 50 to 170 million....perhaps even far larger....timing is difficult...30 day rule (which is a pain in the arse and very unfair)(not in an Isa or Sipp)..(or if you are a city trader) restricts it a bit...you might sell out only for a great rns to appear...tricky...doing that...I'm staying put.....180p target...perhaps 200p now...can do it on spreads....(I'm very long by the way )...
