From the Financial Times this weekend

Solo Oil , which is chaired by David Lenigas, rose 15.4 per cent to 0.75p on talk it was close to announcing its first deal.

I'm on board this morning..good story developing here (imho) ... onwards and upwards... anyone else in ?

Dont you just hate it when your spudding comes up short

If you haven't enough for chips or cook them too much : mashed potato it is !....pommes de terre...pommes de terre as Delboy might put it !....blinkin' geologist or that bloke with the 'ology or whatever : deserves a night out with a geezer in the fridgefreezer ......

Drill and pray?

Damn I was so tempted to buying at 51 yesterday, then I thought overwhelming selling could follow into today, but positive buying in the morning put a dampener on that..... Some people already in the know getting some early buying in before the announcement??

whats in a fraction of a penny, you either want them or you dont.

not when they might be 45p by the end of the day, my strategy was set and I stuck to it, I lose out but my risk was lower than 50p

You are forgetting the decimal point

it was 0.5p

Still you stick to your strategy whatever it is

We have gas!!!!!!!

NTORYA-1 DRILLING UPDATE





Aminex PLC ('Aminex' or the 'Company'), an independent oil company listed on the main market of the London and Irish Stock Exchanges with exploration and development assets in the emerging hydrocarbon province of East Africa, today announces a further operational update on drilling of the Ntorya-1 exploration well in the Ruvuma Basin onshore in Tanzania.



On the 10 February 2012 it was announced that the well would be deepened to test an additional target identified on the seismic data at a depth of approximately 2,750 metres. The well has now been drilled to 2,750 metres, and prior to reaching that depth encountered strong gas shows in a good quality reservoir sand at a depth of approximately 2,660 metres. A logging programme will commence shortly to evaluate the new section drilled below 2,500 metres and a further update will be provided after the logging programme has been completed.



The Ntorya-1 well is designed to test the high quality Basal Tertiary and Upper Cretaceous sands previously encountered in the Likonde-1 well, 14 kilometres to the north.



Participants in the deepening of the well below 2,500 metres are:



Ndovu Resources Ltd (Aminex) 75% (operator)

Solo Oil plc 25%

Operational Update, Canada

Reef's announcement, to the Toronto exchange, reads:

February 15, 2012 - Calgary, Alberta - Reef Resources Ltd. ("Reef" or the "Company") reports that substantial further progress has been made on a number of field activities associated with the ongoing development of the Ausable Gas Recycling and Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) project.

· The recent cold weather in Ontario has improved conditions for completing the pipeline between the existing South Airport gas well and the Ausable process facility. Once the pipeline welding is completed the required road bores will be conducted.
· The reversal of the Union Gas meter, which will allow the Company to purchase natural gas for re-injection in the Ausable reef, is tentatively scheduled for February 27th. Piping modifications at the facility will commence once the gas flow is reversed. This will allow initiation of the gas re-injection scheme. Additionally, gas and gas liquids from South Airport will also be used for re-injection once the pipeline is completed and commissioned.
· The workover program for installation of a production packer in Ausable #1 well is being initiated to coincide with the planned meter reversal. This will isolate the top set of three perforations and will allow for planned gas reinjection into the uppermost section of the Ausable reef.
· A larger inlet separator has been sourced in Alberta and following minor upgrades will be shipped to Ontario. The larger separator is designed to handle higher oil, water and natural gas volumes associated with the venturi pumping system. Facility upgrades associated with the larger separator will accommodate production from all the Ausable and Airport wells.
· The new high pressure surface venturi pump skid design is completed and the Company is currently sourcing qualified fabricators for skid packaging. The new pump package will accommodate all current and future planned wells.
· After commissioning trials on the Ausable #5 venturi pump, a down-hole valve requires replacement. A service rig is required in order to retrieve and re-run the down-hole assembly and it is hoped this work can be undertaken in the next 10 days. Oil production from Ausable #5 and Ausable #1 is being hampered by the formation of waxes at the pump inlet level approximately 560 metres below surface. This is due to abnormally low reservoir temperatures and further hampered by low ambient temperatures. A gas-fired line heater will be installed to heat high pressure water to service the venturi pumps on all wells. This will increase pump inlet temperatures at the bottom of the well which in turn will mitigate any wax build up at the venturi pump and in the tubulars.
· The North Airport well is proceeding as planned and is currently at 194 metres. Cementing of the surface casing is anticipated within the next 10 days.

Arnie Hansen, Reef President commented: "All the components for initiating the EOR program are coming together and we can now look forward to realizing the production benefits once all the current projects are commissioned and on stream. The Company is hopeful that with the EOR scheme fully implemented it can hit its target of 200 boed by mid-year and exit 2012 with net production of up to 500 boed. "

Neil Ritson, Solo Executive Director, commented;

"Reef has maintained momentum on all fronts despite difficult weather conditions. The need to install heaters on the venturi jet pumps was not originally foreseen and has so far prevented final commissioning of the Ausable #5 pump during the winter. The arrival of injection gas at the plant will significantly increase production potential. Solo shares Reef's confidence that production will reach 500 boed by end of 2012."

DISCOVERY IN TANZANIA EXTENDS RUVUMA GAS PLAY ONSHORE


Solo Oil plc today announces a gas discovery at the Ntorya-1 exploration well in the Ruvuma Basin onshore in Tanzania where the Company holds a 25% interest.

Further to the announcement on 15 February 2012 which reported strong gas shows in a good quality Cretaceous reservoir sandstone at a depth of 2,660 metres, open hole electric logs have now been acquired over the zone of interest and to total depth at 2,750 metres. Evaluation of the electric logs has confirmed the presence of reservoired gas.

The electric logs show a gross sand interval of 25 metres from 2,660 to 2,685 metres with a 3 metre net gas bearing pay zone at the top of the interval with porosities of 20%. A further 16.5 metre lower sandstone interval contains additional probable gas pay.

The presence of gas bearing reservoir sandstones in the Ntorya-1 well confirms the potential for additional prospectivity in the thick Mesozoic sandstones that were encountered in the Likonde-1 well, drilled in 2010, approximately 14 kilometres to the north.

A 7 inch liner will now be run to total depth and the well will then be deepened by a further 250 metres to investigate a prominent seismic event estimated to lie at 3,000 metres. Since oil shows were previously encountered in Likonde-1, this deeper target has the potential to represent additional pay with liquid hydrocarbons.

After Ntorya-1 has been deepened it will be suspended for flow testing at a later date once suitable equipment can be mobilsed.

Solo Executive Director, Neil Ritson, commented:

"With the recent high profile offshore exploration successes in the Ruvuma Basin we are delighted to have been able to extend the proven gas fairway onshore in Tanzania. There is immense potential to pursue additional opportunities within the Ruvuma PSA and the probable construction of gas infrastructure at the coast, just 25 kilometres away, makes commercial development very likely."

Drilling Update, Canada

Solo today announces a further update on activities in South Western Ontario, Canada operated by its Joint Venture partner Reef Resources Limited ("Reef").

Reef's announcement, to the Toronto exchange, reads:

April 2, 2012 - Calgary, Alberta - Reef Resources Ltd. (REE - TSX.V) ("Reef" or the "Company") reports that drilling of its North Airport well reached total depth of 608 metres on March 29. Open-hole electric logging has been successfully conducted. Logs indicate potential for natural gas in the shallow A2 zone as well as indications of hydrocarbon in the Guelph. Petrophysical analysis will be initiated immediately to better determine both net pay and production potential, and details of the petrophysical study will be released when complete.

Subject to final results of the North Airport well, gas and any gas liquids will be used to further enhance the gas recycle and EOR program at the Ausable reef. The well will be connected via pipeline to the standing Airport South natural gas/liquids well currently being tied into the Ausable process facility.

Neil Ritson, Solo Executive Director, commented;

"Success at the Airport North #1 well will provide additional gas reserves to support the Ausable EOR scheme where gas from Airport South and utility gas from the Union Gas pipeline are already being tied in. Ultimate recovery at Ausable depends on pressure maintenance and gas recycling so the availability of further gas sources will be extremely good news."

Investment in Argentina

Solo Oil plc today announces that discussions regarding the Heads of Agreement ("HOA") with Obtala Resources Limited ("Obtala") to acquire Ilakon Limited, a wholly owned Obtala subsidiary, which holds the beneficial rights to the Mina El Carmen block in Argentina, have been terminated by mutual agreement.

The HOA announced in December 2011 anticipated completion in late January 2012, however, the parties have now concluded that administrative delays in due diligence preclude timely completion and have agreed to terminate the HOA.

Solo, in line with its investment strategy to acquire a diverse portfolio of direct and indirect interests in exploration, development and production, continues to actively review investment opportunities, but is currently focussed on Tanzania as a result of the recent discovery in its Ntorya-1 well in the Ruvuma PSA.

Ntorya-1 well 'very exciting', says Solo

Yes - I'm sure they do!

Solo Oil believes it is on the edge of something very exciting at the Ntorya-1 discovery well in the Ruvuma Basin onshore in southern Tanzania.
