Never to early.................

all imho of course and dyor.........

I can't make up my mind if it's worth holding both SEY and HNR which I do. Any view's would be appreciated.

MS

PS. What's early. My old man would have a scotch for breakfast.

For what it's worth MS I have both....slightly more in SEY than HNR.

Me too.

MS

Of course I do too.

The recent drop in HNR was too good to miss.

My plan is to see 1 to 1.30 and leave the profit to do the walking with HNR. (projected mid 2005)

Depends on your average of course.

Thing is in 2006/7 it will rocket.

2005 - This month the new CEO is due to be anounced, then there Lake Albert in Uganda having 3 d seismic, then there Guyane then theres..............

Up to you MS.

Some would say that your money could do better short term.

With HNR and SEY it's a definite "jam tomorrow" share setup.

That did not help really did it?

From Killik's morning note today:

"Hardman Resources shares trade up 5p to 72p on an encouraging Mauritanian update we sense the news flow from this area is turning for the better. The Tiof-6 appraisal well intersected an oil column with thickness of at least 123 metres. Premier Oil trades up 10p to 550p in sympathy."

All views helpful SWW. If in doubt do now't so will hold for the moment.

MS

PS. See Harry put his foot in it.I bet he got the uniform from his grandad.

I am not going to try again.

aldwickk - you've got me interested now. Can you just describe whatever it was. :>)

Yes and me.

MS

I must admit to being disapointed :-{. I was expecting something entirely different. But graphs are nice too :>)

Article from Rigzone.com.

Partners in the Mauritania offshore development program report evaluation of wireline and drilling data, including downhole pressure measurements and fluid sampling indicates that Tiof-6 has intersected oil over a gross interval of at least 123 meters. Wireline oil samples have been recovered to surface. It is interpreted that no gas or water leg has been intersected by the well. The interval comprises several good quality sands of varying thickness. The well will now be cased and temporarily suspended, allowing the West Navigator rig to conduct Chinguetti development drilling, before returning to flow test Tiof-6.

The Tiof-6 well is the 4th appraisal well following the two discovery wells completed in late 2003. The appraisal program is proceeding on prognosis and the joint venture is planning to complete the test of the 4th appraisal well before refining development plans.

The Chinguetti field, 25km to the south of the Tiof field, was given development approval in May 2004 and is on schedule for first production in early 2006 at approximately 75,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), 6,000 bopd to Premier. Development drilling is currently underway. The Tevet-1 discovery well drilled in October 2004 is located within tie-back distance to the Chinguetti field.

The West Navigator and Stena Tay drilling rigs will remain on location offshore Mauritania throughout the greater part of 2005, and will be drilling exploration and appraisal wells in addition to Chinguetti, and possibly Tiof, development wells.

blimey, you are all very quiet today. Not even any recipes. I admit to being a bit of a lurker most of the time but I always read this thread and am not used to you lot being so quiet. Could posting recommence immediately so I can go back to lurking!

Slow day. Must be a rendezvous tete-a-tete between SWW and Hilary to discuss strategy. Couple of 100k buys and lots of tiddler sells. Money is elsewhere.

Hate to disappoint a lurker.........especially as I lurk so much myself! Well as there's nothing interesting on the sp front..........I'm having a dinner party tomorrow night. I got some new cookbooks for Christmas so on the menu we have Bulgarian beef in pastry with potato cakes, creamed courgettes and beetroot casserole, with a walnut coffee slice for dessert. Any suggestions for a starter? Suppose it will be a bottle of vodka if this lot doesn't turn out.... maybe they won't notice then.
