This looks a very good bet? Mentioned in the share magazine.

looks like we are about to head north.good news to come next few days then 70/90p by september?? good long term prospects

now we are moving may be last chance to buy b4 take off, L-7 results due in soon & rns this morning will help . good luck to all

peter 123 hope your still on this one as we are on a winner, shame other posters have lost interest but some of us saw the potential. Might have a small trade early am if i feel lucky, anyhow good luck to all who stayed in!!!

Yep, I am still in.

more sells than buys today, some pi,s do not know when their on a winner.

All looking good. News soon hopefully.

Been away but returned to see my sell-if triggered at 48p to get out at break-even. Annoyed until I see current sp!! Why, bad news or market sentiment?

News wasn't bad, expected increase in reserves but no more drilling until next year probably the reason for people taking money off the table for a while in the current situation. I will buy back in again in early 2008. Glad I set a sell-if though (on this occasion). Still got other stocks down this week but all profitable with low forward PE's so will be looking to add to those at low prices.

I agreed andy. I got out around 52p. Closely monitoring the stock.

andy you wont get them any cheaper than NOW get in soon IMHO. p123 have you bought back in yet?? news coming soon will push sp back to 60 +,

Not yet spudgun.

Got back in yesterday, estimated reserves due an update soon after this years drilling and expected to be significantly increased. Todays RNS might not move sp much(?) but is a good step forward towards the objective of production with better network for supply.

I'm afraid it won't move the sp anything but down and significantly so for a while I feel, as it's a very disappointing news release. They must have bad news on the sidetracked flow test to have abandoned it so close to announcement and to move equipment causing delay until next Feb at least. If it had been good news then surely they would have waited to complete by year end as originally stated, released good news to boost share price and then moved equipment ?! Already sitting on a large paper loss here which is going to get a lot worse over the next few months I feel, and probably limit any upside of better news next year ?

I disagree Colin, I've been to Russia and the normal roads are bad enough, if it makes sense to crack on with other developments whilst they wait the equipment they need to side-track the well it makes a lot of sense to me.

Nice rise today and steady buying recently, tipped as speculative buy in shares magazine and I will be holding long-term having bought back in at low price.
It was a very sensible move to ensure pipeline at lower costs to bring in the revenues that will fund further development of PTR's fields.
This company is run by experts in the Russian oil markets, they are no muppets and I expect PTR to push on from 2008.

Only too happy to have been proved wrong so far.....long may it continue !

I am at a loss on this stock at the moment, but I am staying put until this comes right and I agree with other posters here. There seem to be quite a few good old Irish stocks out there : the TLW's, DGO's and possibly this one.

Shares agrees with my sentiment that the pipeline agreement is good for PTR, a nice 100,000 buy today. Later I will write up some comments from a tip for PTR which compares the current development stage with another company that rose fivefold.

PetroNeft Resources plc

('PetroNeft')

Acquisition of Refinery Site

PetroNeft is pleased to announce that it has acquired a site for a Mini-Refinery
at Pervomayka in the Kolpashevo District of the Tomsk Oblast, south of the
Company's current operational area in Licence 61.

The 7.5 hectare site is located approximately 200 km northwest of the city of
Tomsk at the Transneft pipeline Pervomayka pumping station in the Kolpashevo
District. The Regional Administration has given permission for the use of the
land for a Mini-Oil-Refinery. Some site clearance and preliminary ground works
were carried out by the previous owner and the off-take flange for the Transneft
pipeline connection is already in place.

The Company's medium term strategy is to participate in both the upstream and
downstream segments of the oil and gas business in Russia. Vertical integration
will ensure the Company of a reliable outlet for its domestic oil sales as well
as allow it to participate in certain tax benefits offered to the refining
sector. The end result will be an improved margin on each barrel of production
run through the facility. Acquisition of the Pervomayka site gives the Company a
very viable option, but not an obligation, to enter into the downstream business
at the appropriate time.

The Company's current focus remains the development of the reserves in Licence
61, while seeking new acquisitions and investment opportunities to broaden the
Company's portfolio and add value to its existing reserves.

Reserves Report



The reserves report for Licence 61, as at 31 December 2007, is being finalised
by Ryder Scott and is expected to be published within the next month.

Dennis Francis, Chief Executive Officer of PetroNeft commented:

'This acquisition gives us the option of improving our margins and developing
alternate income streams in the future; thereby, allowing PetroNeft to generate
maximum value from its business in Licence 61 and provide important product
supplies in the Tomsk Region.'
