will be good when they go out of business......that will take out volatility

not all hedge funds go short

Volatility can be a very good friend.

only for traders

As I've said, DGO falls back now 165p.

Cynic is right !...there must be people and hedge funds out there in terrible positions !...which means that they will sell into a little profit or a lesser big loss at any time...difficult to predict !.

Was that what you said or what Justyi said? You must get confused having to keep logging on and off :-)

now up to 167p and well up on the day......do u trade in 5 minute periods hyleo constantly staring at screens?

I'll still hang on as news is almost on us,and this is without doubt seriously undervalued.
cyril

wonder what hyleo predicts sp to be in 5 mins time

up again but he never appears on shares that go up......getting burnt

sp suddenly bolted 20p ...... was tempted to buy in about 14p lower, but dithered and was greedy - didn't like the spread ..... never mind

Dzheitune (Lam) 22/130 and A/131 wells on production

Highlights

Following initial testing from the short and long strings, development wells Dzheitune (Lam) 22/130 and A/131 have yielded rates of 2,057 and 4,621 barrels of oil per day ('bopd') respectively.

The CIS-1 rig will now be mobilised to the Dzheitune (Lam) 28 platform where it is expected to begin drilling development well Dzheitune (Lam) 28/B by the end of 2008.

The Iran Khazar rig will move to the Dzheitune (Lam) 21 platform to commence drilling development well Dzheitune (Lam) 21/132.

Dragon Oil's own recently re-furbished Rig 40 is in the process of being mobilised to the Dzheitune (Lam) 13 platform.

Dr Abdul Jaleel Al Khalifa, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

'I am pleased to announce the successful completion and initial testing of the Dzheitune (Lam) 22/130 and A/131 development wells. Dragon Oil has now achieved its 2008 target to drill and complete eight wells and we are currently in line to reach our goal of an average daily production rate of 40,000 bopd for the year.'

Drilling Details

The Dzheitune (Lam) 22/130 well was drilled to a depth of 3,770 metres, with testing of the short and long strings resulting in production rates of 1,487 bopd and 570 bopd respectively (a total of 2,057 bopd). Further testing and optimisation is scheduled to take place by the end of the year.

The Dzheitune (Lam) A/131 well was drilled to a depth of 4,120 metres, with testing of the short and long strings resulting in production rates of 2,280 bopd and 2,341 bopd respectively (a total of 4,621 bopd). Further testing and optimisation is scheduled to take place by the end of the year.

Preparations are currently being made to move the CIS 1 rig to the recently refurbished Dzheitune (Lam) 28 platform where it is expected to begin drilling development well Dzheitune (Lam) 28/B by the end of the year. This is the first of seven additional development wells to be drilled from the Dzheitune (Lam) 28 platform.

how much interest does DGO receive on 820M saving?

Drilling Update

Dzheitune (Lam) L21/132 well on production and Rig 40 spuds its first well

Highlights

Development well Dzheitune (Lam) L21/132 tested at an initial rate of 916 barrels of oil per day ('bopd')
Dragon Oil's own Rig 40 began drilling its first well, Dzheitune (Lam) L13/133, on 11 January 2009
Dr Abdul Jaleel Al Khalifa, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

'I am pleased to announce the successful completion and initial testing of the Dzheitune (Lam) L21/132 development well. Although we did not reach our intended target intervals due to some abnormally high pressures, we were still able to complete this well in our secondary intervals, with the intent to deepen this well in the future to reach the main targets.'

Drilling Details

Drilling of the Dzheitune (Lam) L21/132 well was stopped at 3,001 metres when it encountered pressures that were higher than expected. As a result, the well did not penetrate the main intended deeper intervals. The well was completed as a single completion over the secondary interval. It is envisaged that in the future the well will be deepened to penetrate the main target intervals. Initial testing of the secondary interval resulted in production rates of 916 bopd. Further testing and optimisation is scheduled to take place over the next few weeks.

Dragon Oil's own Rig 40 began drilling its first well, Dzheitune (Lam) L13/133, on 11 January 2009 on the Dzheitune (Lam) 13 platform.

The Iran Khazar rig is now undergoing planned maintenance, which is expected to be completed by the end of February 2009. At that time, the rig will relocate back to the Dzheitune (Lam) A platform to drill two additional wells.

The CIS 1 Rig completed the Dzheitune (Lam) L22/130 well in November 2008 and it is now currently being mobilised to Dzheitune (Lam) Platform 28.

A detailed update on Dragon Oil's performance will be given in its Trading Statement scheduled to be released on 20 January 2009 at 7:00am GMT.

Although just over 900bopd from a secondary terget, the high presure could be quite significant? A better picture will be given next week.
