has everyone fallen asleep on this?

been a good rise recently from the sudden drop

scot....i think it's a waiting game...and if your in...you wait..if your watching then you wait....glad i am in and watching

i'm in too but i checked iraqupdates.com and the US and Iraq r both pushing for new law to be passed

Calm before the storm?

Hey Guys what is happening, sp dropping like a stone and no comments from anyone. Are you all posting on another site????

i noticed too......market going down a bit though

Without news on the HCL this was always going to drift, recovered a bit today but in recent days has fallen back. The HCL is supposed to be passed before the end of this month, if that doesn't happen then further weakness could follow, the potential rewards for PET are huge imo, as sure as eggs are eggs if I sold now the sp would soar, sorry to disappoint but I'm holding on. Good luck everyone.

Thanks for those words of encouragement George, been holding these for around 3 years and thought that all was well when the sp soared a few weeks ago. Lets hpoe that the news comes soon, would make a cracker of a Xmas prezzie

word on the other side is they think news before the new year but this may be the Iraqi NY which they say is Jan 9th. fingers well and truly crossed---also someone bought an expensive 100k shares after the close last night paying 123p which set everyone guessing!

Recent news doesn't sound overly bullish for PET, does it?

Sell

What news is that Big Al ?

Any of it above really. ;-))

Oh, well that's no basis to recommend a sell, I would certainly not sell a share because of bb's comments nor would I buy because of such comments, there has been no recent concrete news that I am aware of, just views of posters and conjecture, and the awaiting of the HCL.

PET not big enough to finance projects of this size.

They need the big boys to get involved.

The big boys will take over and shunt PET aside.

It always happens. ;-)

Meanwhile Shahristani is moving forward with oil deals on his own
As reported before, Iraqs national oil minister will not wait on a national oil law, instead relying on the Saddam-era law (and irking the Kurds) which gives the Oil Ministry the rights to sign deals.

The Big Oil companies would prefer production sharing contracts, which give them long terms and allow them to add the oil fields theyve been awarded to their books that Wall Street judges.

A source has confirmed to Iraq Oil Report that there are five service agreements nearing completion, where Iraq would pay companies to fix and improve an oil field.

They are:
BP for North and South Rumaila
Shell for Kirkuk
Shell/BHP for Missan
Chevron and Total for West Qurna
ExxonMobil for Zubair
