As this EPIC opens on AIM today anything could happen. On the one hand you have traders trying to cash in a sixfold profit. You will also have a clambering of traders after shares because, firstly they could only get 75% of their allocation because of demand. Secondly at 25p this company is still way under valued.

Look at RIO today, this could be the start of the consolidation process!

I see todays activity with HAWK as a mix of profit taking and some tree shaking ! MM's !

A good week for HAWK , this could go to 60p by friday .

Nighthawk Energy buys 44,000 more acres at Jolly Ranch project
AFX


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - Nighthawk Energy PLC said it has acquired a further 44,000 acres at the Jolly Ranch project in eastern Colorado in the US, after test results from a survey showed expanded targets with significant upside potential in the area.

Nighthawk said further expansion is planned in the region, along with its partner, Running Foxes Petroleum Inc, who also is the operator and holds a 50 pct working interest in the project.

but the market seemed to say "And so???" ...... but assuredly this is one the "good minnows" and should have further to run, though it may still need to catch its breath for a little while

Profit taking by many investors has made the sp fall back . I think it will go back up again .

Cynic , are you back in ? I think this is a good point to add a few more . Still looking at BRR .

I sold 75k two days ago and looking to get back in by the end of this week or Monday! Difficult to judge this one, but would hope to be buying around 48p. I think this will tick down a little further until we get news. Many RNS's have taken place on a tuesday, but nothing set in stone....GL....

Any thing under 50p is a good buy .

3 weeks ago we were looking at 60p ! now we are back to 45p again . news wanted .

Nighthawk Energy Cisco Springs Project Update

Cisco Springs Project Update

Highlights

* New production facilities operational

* Acquisition of further 12.5 per cent. interest in Cisco Springs
project

* P50 net natural gas reserves increased by 33.3 per cent. to 125
bcf through the acquisition

* Six recent wells completed as future producers


The directors of Nighthawk Energy plc ("Nighthawk" or "the Company") (AIM:
HAWK), the US focused hydrocarbon production and development company, are
pleased to announce an update on operations at the Cisco Springs project,
located in Grand County, Utah. This update includes details of the
commissioning of the new production facilities and the commencement of gas
sales, the acquisition of a further 12.5 per cent. of the Cisco Springs project
from the operator, Running Foxes Petroleum Inc. ("Running Foxes") and positive
drill results from both the Summer and current drilling programmes.

Commissioning of new production facilities and commencement of gas sales

Construction and commissioning of the first phase of the Nighthawk and Running
Foxes jointly owned Cisco Springs production facilities is complete and natural
gas is now being sold to market directly via the Northwest pipeline.

Previously drilled production wells are currently being hooked up to the
facilities via an internal pipeline network and production and gas sales at the
end of 2007 are expected to be between 1.0-1.5 mmcfgpd. Planned production will
be incrementally increased to between 3.0-4.0 mmcfgpd by the end of 2008.
Upgrading of the production facilities is ongoing and an additional compressor
capable of handling 1.2 mmcfgpd is en-route to Cisco Springs and will be tied-in
to the facilities on arrival at site. This will augment the existing compressor
which is rated at 3.0 mmcfgpd.

Gas prices in the Rocky Mountain region have firmed considerably during late
November and December 2007 and 50 per cent. of Cisco gas is being delivered at
daily spot price and 50 per cent. at monthly spot price. Forward sales
contracts are also being considered by Nighthawk and Running Foxes for the
future.

The Rocky Mountain region is currently seeing major activity in respect of local
pipeline construction. During the next four years, the Bronco pipeline,
operated by Spectra, is expected to be commissioned supplying natural gas to the
Western US markets, followed by the important Kinder Morgan, Rocky Mountain
pipeline which will, upon completion, supply product to the high demand markets
of New York, where prices are usually at a premium to NYMEX. In addition the
Williams pipeline is expected to ship product eastwards in 2010. These new
pipelines will open additional markets to Cisco Springs production and are
expected to underpin gas prices in the region.

Acquisition of a further 12.5 per cent interest in the Cisco Springs project

Agreement has been reached with Running Foxes to purchase with immediate effect
a further 12.5 per cent. working interest in the Cisco Springs project,
increasing Nighthawk's currently held 37.5 per cent. interest to 50 per cent.

The purchase price for the additional interest is US$4,000,000 which will be
funded from the Company's existing cash reserves.

Included in the transaction is a pro rata interest in the project owned
production facilities, Ingersoll-Rand drill rig, a workover rig and all other
project related equipment including a pipeline network and numerous oil storage
tanks. Nighthawk will be entitled to a 50 per cent. revenue share from all gas
and oil sales from 1 December 2007.

The transaction provides Nighthawk with a significant increase in both P90 and
P50 reserves. Based on the Competent Person's Report of March 2007 on the Cisco
Springs project by Oilfield Production Consultants Limited ("OPC"), P90 reserves
(Proven), net to Nighthawk, increase through the transaction from 74.9 bcf
(billion cubic feet) to 99.85 bcf and P50 reserves (Proven + Probable) from 94.2
bcf to 125.59 bcf.

OPC was commissioned to comment on the acquisition of the additional interest
from Running Foxes and their comments are as follows:

"In equivalent terms, the consideration is considerably less than the NPV10 of
the Cisco Springs project as evaluated by OPC in its CPR of March 2007. We have
been advised by the Directors of Nighthawk that since that time the two
companies have become partners in several new development projects and the
acquisition can thus be considered a strategic transaction.

"We are also advised by the Directors of Nighthawk that since the OPC evaluation
a significant number of new wells have been drilled on the project. We have
inspected the data from several of these wells and confirm that the results are
in line with the OPC parameters assumed in the CPR, while in some cases they
have significantly exceeded expectations. Furthermore, additional acreage to
that evaluated in the CPR has been acquired and this could be expected to
increase pro rata the NPV of the project.

"Given this information, OPC is of the opinion that any revised and updated
evaluation of Nighthawk's interest in the Cisco Springs project may well reflect
a value materially higher than that originally calculated."

Drilling programmes and results

A drilling and development programme of over 60 wells commenced in June 2007 and
is ongoing. Drilling results to date continue to confirm the presence of
additional hydrocarbons. Commercial discovery wells have been logged and cased
as producers and are currently being hooked up to the Cisco production
facilities.

Nighthawk and Running Foxes have adopted a systematic and scientific approach to
field development including the shooting of seismic and the flying of an
aeromagnetic survey over much of the project area which covers in excess of
18,000 acres. The subsequent interpretation of this seismic and aeromagnetic
data has resulted in a better understanding of the reservoir distribution,
minimising the potential for dry holes.

Following completion of the previous ten well programme, Major Drilling, a Salt
Lake City based drilling company, commenced a seven well programme in late
October 2007. The three wells drilled to date, the Cisco 7-8-1, Cisco 7-1-1 and
Cisco 6-13-2 have all indicated hydrocarbon reserves in place and have been
logged and cased as future production wells. The remaining four wells will be
completed by mid-December. Additional drilling permits are expected to be
received from the Bureau of Land Management in the near future.

Another important recent development has been the recognition of the production
potential of the Mancos shale, which covers the whole project area. This
potential is currently being investigated, and to date, Nighthawk and Running
Foxes are encouraged by the results obtained at this early stage of evaluation.

In addition to the new well programme, a number of the 62 old wells that were
part of the original purchase package have been successfully re-entered,
resulting in increased production rates and the discovery of additional
hydrocarbon reserves.

A typical well costs US$140,000 to US$200,000 through to completion. Using
heavily discounted recovery factors the potential rate of return per well is a
multiple of 10 to 15 times drilling costs, amply demonstrating the financial
robustness of the Cisco Springs project.

The wells drilled are evaluated for conventional gas (on a 40 acre spacing) and
oil (on a 10 acre spacing) potential. The majority of new commercial wells
drilled are gas producers. However a notable feature of recent drilling has
been the discovery of significant oil zones.

Wireline log analysis is conducted by Atoka Laboratories, using Bowler JLog
petrophysical analysis software. Analysis of the final three wells from the
summer programme and the first three wells of the new programme has been
completed. The results, showing formations, depth intervals, estimated
hydrocarbons in place and total net pay thickness are set out below.

David Bramhill, Managing Director of Nighthawk commented "With the
implementation of the new production facilities, we are now in a position to
start to gear up production levels. Along with our partner Running Foxes, we
have demonstrated the ability to bring a project from exploration and
development to production status. Credit must be given to Steven Tedesco CEO of
Running Foxes and his dedicated team who have worked tirelessly on both an
almost continuous drilling programme as well as the construction and
commissioning of the new production facilities. This augurs well for the future
of our other development projects, in particular Jolly Ranch, where expectations
are high and the Devon Oilfield, where four water injection wells have been
successfully completed and pilot production will commence in the near future.
As a result, we are confident that Nighthawk will be reporting on further
development projects being brought into production in 2008."

Nighthawk Energy Jolly Ranch Update

Nighthawk Energy plc

Jolly Ranch Update

Highlights:

* Land base increased from 84,000 acres to in excess of 139,000 acres

* Refinement of 3-D seismic identifies additional drill targets

* Expansion of 2008 development drilling programme

The directors of Nighthawk Energy plc ("Nighthawk" or the "Company") are pleased
to announce an update on the Jolly Ranch project. Nighthawk and its partner
Running Foxes Petroleum Inc ("Running Foxes"), the operator, each hold a 50 per
cent. working interest in the project.

Jolly Ranch is located in Lincoln County, Colorado within the Denver Basin where
production is drawn from Mississippian, Pennsylvanian, Permian and Cretaceous
reservoirs.

As reported on 12 November 2007 a successful 3-D seismic programme covering 21
square miles was shot over key sections of the Jolly Ranch project area
including the Bolero and Craig Ranch oilfields which were abandoned in the 1990s
due to low oil prices. In addition, a detailed soil gas and iodine geochemical
survey was completed and numerous anomalies correlating with targets identified
by the 3-D surveys were identified.

The land base of the Jolly Ranch project was initially 40,000 acres. A further
44,000 acres was acquired in November 2007 bringing the project area to 84,000
acres.

Nighthawk and Running Foxes have continued their land acquisition programme.
These efforts have resulted in the purchase of a further 55,557 acres, bringing
the total project area up to 139,577 acres.

With the ongoing interpretation of the 3-D seismic data and other technical
studies, additional drilling targets have been identified. As a result, the
drilling programme has been re-evaluated and an expanded programme for 2008 is
now planned.

A refinement of targets has been undertaken and four new high priority drill
locations have been selected. These initial wells, termed the Four Kings,
namely Elizabeth, Henri, Phillip and Sixtus, will test multiple stacked targets
in the Marmaton, Morrow, Atoka, Cherokee and Mississippian. Well permit
applications have been submitted to the State of Colorado for approval. The
first well to be drilled will be the Elizabeth which is scheduled to spud in the
first quarter of 2008.

While it is very early in the evaluation process of Jolly Ranch, Running Foxes
estimates that the aggregate potential of the targets is in excess of 100
million barrels of oil in place with significant potential to increase that
estimate based on the extent of the current seismic features seen.

David Bramhill, Managing Director of Nighthawk commented "Since the original
acquisition of the Jolly Ranch project in August 2007 our expectations of
successful future development have increased. Independent technical evaluations
and studies of historical production wells located on the Bolero and Craig
oilfields drilled in the 1980s by BHP and Anshultz have indicated significant
oil in place and identified additional by-passed oil zones. Whilst the project
is still at an early stage of development and the usual risk factors apply, the
results of the 3-D seismic programme and the substantial land acquisitions have
greatly increased the upside potential of Jolly Ranch."

David Racher B.Sc (Hons) Geology, who is a consultant to Nighthawk and has over
37 years of experience in the hydrocarbon industry and previously managed the
Lasmo plc onshore US portfolio in Kansas, Louisiana, South Dakota, Texas and
Wyoming, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this
announcement.
