http://www.gulfkeystone.com/ The firms exploration programme in Algeria is going well and "the shares look good value", say the Investors Chronicle. Your comments please. goal.

many of the major oilfield service companies are already working their socks off in southern IRAQ ...... IRAN is currently a no-go area, but won't be indefinitely ..... SAUDI is a terrific market both for chemicals and oilfield development ..... SYRIA is not of much interest ..... EGYPT is an interesting market and we have worked there in a modest but successful way for many years ..... am currently working on a project for LIBYA .... ISRAEL has a successful chemical industry which we cater for in a modest way

where have i missed?

Turkey?

The SP volitilty could be down to the Seymour Pierce: report,which has caused much anger elsrwhere and looks like getting nasty?

cynic you missed the vital word "investing".

not really hali ..... though we lease our kit, the companies who take it are investing a lot of money in their assorted projects

turkey
am now working hard to open up that market as we think it has a very interesting future, not least as a gateway to several of the M/E countries and also to the caspian and the bordering countries such as khaz and turkmenistan

cynic local companies may be investing but how many foreign companies are investing in Iraq .... hence the problem with the idea foreigners are going to buy GKP.

So can we say we are past the estimated Oil water contact @ 2230m TVDSS?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

he Shaikan-6 appraisal well, 9 km to the east of the Shaikan-2 appraisal well, is currently drilling a 12.25" hole at the depth of 2,058 metres in the Jurassic.

Just 172mtrs from estimated OWC,which should be reached easily next week?

very big US oilies like exxon and total, and their associated service companies like halliburton and schlumberger

cynic how much have they actually invested in Iraq?

how the f would i know???? ..... more than i have in my petty cash tin for sure, and judging by the sabre rattling between baghdad and exxon, seemingly some pretty chunky caboodle

cynic as you well know selling goods and services is not the same thing as investing.

Total In Discussions To Enter Iraqi Kurdistan - CEO

Total SA (TOT) is in talks to enter Iraqi Kurdistan, the head of the French oil giant said Tuesday, the latest major to disclose concrete steps to enter the autonomous region.

The news come after the U.S.'s Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM) recently signed a deal to enter the region, rebuffing opposition from Iraq's central government which states the Kurdish deals are illegal.

Speaking to reporters on the side of an International Energy Forum summit conference in Kuwait, Total's Chief Executive Christophe de Margerie said "we are discussing" an entry. "There is nothing done yet."

"Definitely we will hold those discussions with owners of existing blocks," he said, adding any move would have to be vetted by the autonomous region's government.

Just spoken to the Listings Office.

The case is down as "Security for Costs Application", and is reserved as a whole-day hearing - 1030 til 1600.

Well, well, well Rex - bit short of the readies are we?

Should be interesting!

hali - stop being a naughty boy by trying to change the game ..... even the most moronic members on this BB (no names; no packdrill!) can see the weakness of your argument/comment ...... to provide oilfield services, there has to be a major contractor (exxon or total et al) who needs same and has invested millions even if not squillions in the specific project

cynic please try to understand selling goods and services to another party is not investing in their project, if GKP is as good as Mr Todz makes out it would have been snapped up long ago even by the cash rich chinese... stand back and think again don't be driven by emotion.

LATEST "RUMOUR" THE cHINESE ARE SHOWUNG INTEREST IN GKP?

UT 269.25p, nice 14% cynic.

noc thanks for the "rumour"

i give up with you hali!! ..... you're worse than me ..... i never put a value on gkp or even attempted to .... you asked a totally different Q about foreign companies investing in M/E, or even wanting to, which i thought i had answered quite well, even if not to your satisfaction

Hali Thought you might?LOL
