reservoir - bring on the results - i think we can let them stop the drill as long as the find is another few more bbo :-)))

cynic is also correct in some respects to water, as in some parts of these dry/arid regions it already is more expensive than oil as i am sure most of you are aware!! gla

looking good - blue day ahead? :-))

can't imagine where you're looking :-) .... must be flaring methane from your arse!

AND good morning to you cyners :>O

I wondered what that ozone smell was...ahhh the seaside.....

indeed cynic - it may have made more sense!!!

.

Even Afren is down as well.....and that does not make sense....

It's a red day for many stocks, rf. [EMG goes up 5% on rubbish figures]. Just have to go with the trend and forego common sense!

From an articlr posted on GENEL thjread.


On the strength of such speculation, rumors have been swirling. Gulf Keystone seems a likely target for an acquisition, and any number of big names could make the move – ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Eni, Total, Gazprom, TNK-BP, TPAO, Lukoil, KNOC, all have been mentioned by industry insiders and spectators. Such companies might also take up the handful of remaining unsigned blocks, buy into other currently signed blocks, or takeover smaller companies altogether.

Bermuda-registered Gulf Keystone Petroleum is exploring financing of the pipeline to send crude from Shaikan, one of three blocks the company is invested in. That field, which is generating near 5,000 bpd now while well testing and development continue, is pegged for a 440,000 bpd capacity.

"avoiding CGT thereby?"

If they were liable for it - no it wouldn't avoid it. Or we'd all be at it. I just transfer my shares to my wife and she sells them next week for no taxable gain? Nope. There is no gain crystallised by the transfer from one spouse to another, but still liable for the full gain on final sale.

"it does look like the mm's have a system in place to either bang this into auction or straight to no firm order process - the second they get wind of some volume or change.

Not seen this before on GKP so might suggest that they are all on high alert.

I tried to buy 10k earlier at 270p and got no firm order.

Hardly a massive size block is it!?

Interesting times indeed.

Are they worried about being raided by far east buyers again?

HUB"

bullshit - it's not an MM-only stock and very easy to trade on L2

GKP is looking spicy again.

Looking at the sharp rise in GENL and its still rising I am guessing we are going to be having some good news coming on the BB drill quite soon.

As ever, DYOR, but some good BB news will surely push this up and through the 350p level imv.

Would not want to be out of this one in the coming days - just too much happening and too much potential for news.

what a good day - hoping for more blue leading up to the weekend and beyond - no reason why not imo

I'm starting to think you two are the same person !.
