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.

whatever .... but now tell us all why my factual post (3880) about the late surge yesterday in GKP's sp was, in your own words "a load of bollox"

I know little of GKP. and I wish holders a prosperous new year, my gripe is with you, you arrogant, self opinionated, nasty twat. I say this for the way you attacked a post of mine for no reason other than its you're nature. Richard by name Dick by nature.

oh dear oh dear oh dear ..... did i hurt diddums feelings?
unlike you, who are clearly far too thin-skinned for the rough and tumble of the world, i fully accept that if i stick my head over the parapet, it sometimes get whacked
clearly you are unable to accept that, and instantly resort to singularly pathetic tantrums with attaching stupid wild accusations which you then cannot remotely support

=============

in the meantime, sp has put on a further 9p

Hehehe its appears dicky is the flakey one. Whats up dicky don't you like your nasty traits being pointed out. You print much but say little. wankeeeer.

oy weh! ..... why don't you disappear to advfn or similar where i'm sure your attitude will be more appreciated

boxerdog:squelched

NOC - i would but i shan't as have never applied that to anyone here ..... i shall merely endeavour to ignore his stupid and pointless posts

But you're not ignoring me you continue to respond just as you are intended to. Out of respect for the courteous folk here I'll pick you up elsewhere dicky.

This from someone who's posting i've experienced over severak years and found to be solid.Make of it what you will?
===========================================================

Just stay true to your beleifs and your own conclusions.

Bigdog and Biggerthis are both reasonable guys and have been posting longer than I have on here.

As have many others .

I missed the SH-1 rise . Saw the RNS that day. It rose, rose some more, then some more.

I dismissed it as was unconvinced regarding the politics and ownership of the oil. (Nothing changed there then!)

Wasn't until by chance I was informed by a work colleague that his brother in law was drilling manager on that drill.

Told me a few things about the sea of oil.

They were itching to go deeper as all the signs were there.(Though the drilling gear wasn't designed for such an event.

SH-7 could be SH-1 all over again.

I think I posted 100bb before BBBS as that is what I was told.
It's the biggest out there.(Gwharar included)

But I don't work in the industry. Have limited knowledge to be fair.
But I posted what I heard at the time and was interrogated / questioned / slagged off. (Dalesman challenged me also).
I only posted what I heard and still beleive to be true

But I stay pretty quiet here at the moment.
Nothing to add really
Just waiting to see if my guy was right.

Bought another £3.5k just before christmas.
Just in case he was right.

Hope for everyone a peaceful , healthy and fun packed New Year.

Yep, SH-7 is going to be very exciting.............

AND A RE[LY FROM AN OIL ENGINEER WITH MANY YAERS EXPERIENCE.


With respect to grh the figure of 10,000 psi bottom hole pressure means little without a lot more information. Eg a well of 23,000 feet will have a bhp of 10,000 psi if filled with water. The bhp is merely pressure in the formation or the pressure required to hold back the flow of formation fluids or gas upwards.
If the well was only 10000 feet, then it would mean that a VERY heavy mud is required to hold back flow, and thus this would be of great significance. Thus one really needs to know more specifics of the wells concerned.
HOWEVER: 9,500psi AT SURFACE. Now you are talking.

Kurdistan’s vast reserves draw oil majors

By Guy Chazan in Irbil

Published: January 7 2013 16:17 | Last updated: January 7 2013 16:17

For decades, the rugged hills of northern Iraq were the sole preserve of sheep herders and the Kurdish militia known as peshmergas. Now they play host to some of the largest oil and gas companies in the world, drawn by its estimated 45bn barrels of oil.

“We are driving over huge reserves,” says Richard Lowe, drilling manager for oil explorer Gulf Keystone, as he crosses Iraqi Kurdistan’s oil-rich northern corner.

Off to the right, he says, lie Ain Sifni and Barda Rash, where the London-listed oil company Afren has made two big oil discoveries. On the left are vast unexplored fields. “That’s where ExxonMobil will be drilling,” he says.

The region’s oil is so plentiful it literally oozes out of the ground. Near Gulf Keystone’s Shaikan field – one of the world’s largest onshore oil finds of recent years – Mr Lowe points to crude oil leaking out of the limestone rock and dribbling down in thick black seeps."

Kurdistan starts independent crude oil exports

07 Jan 2013 - 19:10

* First crude from Taq Taq oilfield reaches Turkish port * Fresh tender for Kurdish condensate imminent * KRG oil exports via Baghdad-controlled pipeline halted By Julia Payne and Peg Mackey LONDON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - Kurdistan has begun to export crude oil directly to world oil markets through Turkey, industry sources said on Monday, which poses the biggest challenge yet to Baghdad's claim to full control over Iraqi oil. The export of crude, in addition to small volumes of niche condensate, demonstrates the semi-autonomous region's growing frustration with Baghdad as it moves towards ever greater economic independence, the sources said. The volume of oil involved is small, but industry sources said the direct export is highly symbolic as the KRG seeks more financial independence from Baghdad. The first crude has been delivered by truck to the Turkish port of Mersin on the Mediterranean, shipping and industry sources said. "The KRG gave us permission to start crude exports from the Taq Taq oilfield," Genel Energy President Mehmet Sepil said in an interview. Control of oil is at the heart of a dispute between Iraq's Arab-led central government and the autonomous region run by ethnic Kurds in the north. Baghdad insists the central government has the sole constitutional right to export oil. In an apparent renewed dispute over payment, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) halted shipments through the Baghdad-controlled Iraq-Turkey pipeline last month. The KRG began exporting its own very light oil, or condensate, independently to world markets in October by truck to a Turkish port, where it was sold via an intermediary. [ID:nL5E8LN8MV] Now the Kurdish region is adding crude from the Taq Taq oilfield, where London-listed explorer Genel Energy has a stake, to its slate of exports. A fresh cargo of condensate is also ready to sell through an imminent tender, said a shipping source. Industry sources reckon around 15,000 barrels per day (bpd)of condensate from the Khor Mor gas field are reaching the Toros terminal in Turkey. Crude oil exports from Taq Taq, for now, are also small. In exchange, Turkey is sending back refined products to the Kurdish region, which is short of fuel. Over the past year and a half, Kurdistan has upset Baghdad by signing deals directly with oil majors such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron , providing lucrative production-sharing contracts and better operating conditions than in Iraq's south. The KRG says its right to grant contracts to foreign oil firms is enshrined in the Iraqi constitution, which was drawn up following the 2003 invasion that ousted Sunni dictator Saddam Hussein. But payments to foreign operators in Kurdistan are getting caught up in the long-running spat over land and petroleum rights. Baghdad said last month it would not pay oil firms operating in Kurdistan because the region had failed to export the volume of crude it pledged under a deal struck in September. That agreement stipulated that Kurdistan would pump crude through the Baghdad-controlled Iraq-Turkey pipeline in return for payment. An export target of 200,000 bpd was set for the last two months of 2012, and Kurdish authorities pledged to raise exports to 250,000 bpd in 2013. But exports of Kurdish oil have been halted since around mid-December, after nearing the 200,000 target early in the month. Baghdad transferred an initial sum of 650 billion Iraqi dinars ($560 million) to the KRG. But a second payment is still pending for the foreign companies in Kurdistan.
