Star Energy is currently testing the Avington well in Southern England.
This will take about 4 weeks an RNS news feed said, it started on 25/06/06.

I hope it proves positive so we get a good share price rise!
We are 5% holders but i'm not sure how much in pence potential this is worth for the company.

Another good reason to hold on to this share.

Tom Winifrith was tipping this for years! No good whining now. In fact they were ever present at his investor show from what I recall. I suppose they can battle on for a few more years on ftse 100 type wages. Good old AIM.

In freefall today.

a very unloved share at the moment, the trend must be the main reason, apart from the low oil price. maybe soon I will take a punt but not yet ready

"Moving the Deck-chairs"

RNS - Co. relocating its Registered Office to Brixton . . . maybe some saving, but I doubt it's the Answer to NOP's fall from favour.... these were touching 50p not that long ago - So full members of the 90% Club....
...Nice work with good pay for Directors...
Oh Dear.
EDIT (21May2015)- seems NOP has good aspirations and appear to be honest sorts - but Petroleum stocks are not looking good - However, the consolation is they are sell Canadian oil on a daily basis - so no need for a Cash-call yet-awhile . . . . we hope!
Oil is no-longer made, ( like Land ), so as we run-out folks will see the Greens for what they are - "Well-meaning" but the whole World wants Oil to burn short-term and that means a rising price - clever investors might buy Oil-Futures ( or Whatever), but I stick with UK-Stock and NOP seems to be pretty low, so have averaged-dn ( Yes I know that's dangerous!).
However.... Dir Bonus only kick-in (DYOR) at 15p, so I guess the upside is somewhat higher, maybe 25p . . . . so, today's 5p is looking rather unloved. Oil could take 2-3 years to recover but few Oilco's will be investing in new-drilling, so the known finds should increase in value as the spot-price hardens.
China / India and elsewhere are all wanting "More" and that probably means oil-based.,,,, er, FWIW.
Alternative views?
EDIT (1July2015)- Looks like Crystal Amber is banking on HUR delivering a good profit from N.Sea/Shetlands provided Oil remains above USD40/b.... and one wonders if NOP will do similar IF the Oil-price were to rise.... which surely it must with all the demands for Energy.
EDIT(2Dec2015)- Rights/Open Offer at 3p - yet sp is below that today. Oh dear.
EDIT(3Oct2016)- down 37% on what reads like reduced Losses ( maybe the word L-- caused it?). sp 1.81 . . . . Oh really? Doesn't look like we'll see any improvement, soon.

Didnt know there was one.

MaxK - I scanned NOP's recent-RNS and can find no reference to Argentina - I know they had/have a small stake in the North of S-America ( alongside other World OilCo's)..... is this (re yr Link 20 Sept2016) why NOP sp has been so very low of late?

After the current (Dec16) 3.5p fundraising . . . will it become OK again, I wonder....?
