I'm not at all sure....but I think I can remember reading something in a RNS some time ago about oil going through Iran...would need to check this, at the moment this company must be making a fortune because they do not have any debt and production is steadily increasing month by month, but the sp is dropping which is a shame...hoping for a rise soon, and there does not seem to be too many sellers so at a guess there has to be a turnaround sooner or later.

If all their oil production is routed through Iran then they may be vulnerable if political tensions accelerate into confrontation.

Well yes, but are we there ?, not yet.....and Israel would really have to be pushed into a corner, for them to launch an air strike with the Iranians retaliating....crazy situation !: in the meantime this should keep the price of oil very high with DGO pumping it out, sanctions towards Iran will come first, and people hope that Iran will see sense in the end. The opec nations probably like the idea of a bit of tension no matter what they say...keeps the oil price above $120 per barrel.

i read somewhere that every $ increase means extra 15k every day for dgo.

gazprom today has said oil will be $240 i think in 2009.....in any event, medium and liong term, oil sp is going to be higher than even todays price......so all these people bleating and going on strike are wasting their time.....they need to get over it and get on with life

Does DGO have an alternativve route through Iran for getting its oil to the market is what I am trying to find out? In the event of a conflict no doubt oil shipments through Iran would be curtailed.

This presentation gives a good outline. Looks like 80% to Iran with contingency plans for alternative transport.

Sharp rebound (thank god for that !).

Be patient for 12

This stock is spooked....sold some a week ago but still in with a lot....worst one of the producing oilies....ridiculous drop now with nothing but good news coming from this company..............:-( .

if their potential is (primarily) based in or has to be piped through Iran, then there is a hell of a lot for the investor to worry about!

neverthelees, it's certainly one to keep ones eye on as it will no doubt turn around in due course.
perhaps target +/-395 as re-entry point where 200 dma is hit

iran is an option but they r dealing with bp right now with regard azeris and then route through europe via turkey

maybe its just the summer blues.....although every day is a battle in uk these days whether its winter or summer

now 458p as i type.

i reckon mm's read what i typed as i'm sure they reckon middle east is nottinghamshire, lol

this was 413p in morning, it has went up more than 40p!
oh, and oil still up and will continue to 2009 and beyond.....it might go down on dips but oil is going up as everyone uses it now

Forward PE is less than 4 and improving given oil above $100 IMO.
Dividend can be around 50p

No dividend but big potential with Gas !

not a stock i really follow, but what is the (alleged) reason for DGO's plummet from grace?
looks like 395/400 will be hit some time soon, and if there is no real news to explain, that could be a good time to dabble

I'm stuck in this...can't get over the drop....did not expect such a pullback...no debt and producing somewhere between 40000 to 50000 barrels per day....only worry is with oil being routed through Iran; perhaps investors are worried that Iran will cut off the pipeline of deliveries in the case of worsening relations with the West, very unlikely at the moment or one of the producing wells has been shut down (no mention from the company as yet)....so the severe drop is a mystery to me...well overdone!.

im sorry you feel stuck in this.ive been there and it is not nice.
please re read your posts 101 and 103 page 6.
maybe today is a timely reminder.
i do sincerely hope you come out safely and soundly.
best regards to you

Thanks jkd, but it's not as bad as it sounds....I can just click the sell button at any time and make a large profit, but not as big as if I had sold at the top....(difficult to call), I've made quite a bit of money on oil stocks....the mistake I make is to reinvest the proceeds far too quickly....I still think this drop in DGO is overdone...., there could be a rebound for a lot of these producing oil stocks very soon, and a serious climb when one of these companies puts out a note saying : "that they expect profits to be ahead of market expectations", that could be coming soon !.

given a dire NY on friday, it is hard to envisage London opening other than heavily down again ..... that said, DCB is also a reasonable bet once the dust has settled, and it is certainly far from imposible that, during some point in the day, you will see DGO down to that 395/400 level that i mentioned above
