Gavdfc,

thanks.

Sorry I forgot to post that one memeber of the audience questioned whether SEY may join the main market.

The respondent said that SEY were happy to remain on AIM for the foreseeable future, and the "flexibility" of AIM had enabled SEY to grow and push through the deals thay have done in the last year, and that would not have been possible on the main market.

I am happy with this, not least because my BATR would be ruined if they left AIM, and I would like at least one more year before they do!

Andy,

Thanks for that.

Andy, cheers for the feedback.

I see that gav has already found the oil barrel do dah.

Nice presentation, and has been said, nothing we dont knoiw except that Mustang Island has still not been reported on.

Plus it shows High Island 52, whichbwas drilled last year and was a duster.

Not competely accurate then.


Morning all, up or down will suit me.

Down I buy more, up I am happy.

Tick down on it's way imo.

1m trade just gone through

Gav,

Several tasty buys have gone through just after the bell!

Three T (protected) trades, one for 2,350,000 and two 1 million trades.

interesting...

Not sure about the 2.35m trade, perhaps a sell that has just been completed? I give up trying to figure out T trades, hurts my head in this heat! And I'm hungry!

gav,

LOL!

From Harry Wilsons email to me.

"I would also like to clarify exactly what our interest is in PSC B (which includes the Tiof field). Firstly, we receive a "discovery bonus" from Premier of $2m for each new discovery over 50 million barrels declared commercial - there are presently 3 potential field developments where this might apply - Tiof, Tevet & Banda. Secondly, we receive from Premier a "sliding scale royalty payment" on 6% of the gross production taken out of the license (this will be reduced by the government back-in where we also have an interest). By way of example, the sliding scale royalty is $2.75 per barrel when oil price is $28 - 31 per barrel and $4.75 per barrel when oil price is $40 - 43 per barrel. This royalty payment comes to us without any costs apart from tax. So it is clearly in Sterling's interests to see as much drilling by the partners as possible in the license. I hope this is clear."

In addition to PSC Area B, PSC Area A = Fusion group companies 4.615%

Fusion is a wholely owned subsidiary of Sterling Energy

Andy,

Thanks for that. Its similar to an email I got back from SEY in Feb of this year when I was asking them something.

Looking at those late buys, this is a pattern regularly repeated now for a while.

Continued sustained selling, mostly retial throlughout the day, followed by wacking great buys on the bell.

Amvescap PLC coughed to having quite a big interest recently, (228,316,615 = 16.38% )

If they have increased again, then we will know soon enough, if they have I will take that as a sign that we should all have another dip in at these prices.
