Drilling Update

RNS Number : 1353V
Leed Petroleum PLC
22 May 2008


Leed Petroleum PLC
("Leed" or the "Company")
Drilling Update
23 May 2008
Leed Petroleum PLC, the oil and gas exploration and production company focused on the Gulf of Mexico, announces an update on the drilling activity at the Eugene Island A-7 well.

The Eugene Island A-7 well was spudded on 17 April 2008 and as at 22 May 2008 had reached a measured depth of 13,958 ft. Drilling continues towards the development and exploration objectives and remains on schedule to reach total depth in the third quarter of 2008.

Electric line logs have confirmed that the Company encountered 34 feet of true vertical thickness pay while drilling the Eugene Island A-7 well. The Company had previously identified the formation as a zone of interest but it was not a primary objective of the well. The Company will continue to evaluate this sand as drilling continues toward the primary objectives.

The Eugene Island Blocks are located 50 miles offshore, south of Morgan City, Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico in approximately 80 feet of water. Leed's management has built an inventory of development projects and exploration targets across the Eugene Island Block 183/184 Field.

Howard Wilson, President and Chief Executive of Leed Petroleum PLC, commented:

"We are pleased to have found pay in the A-7 well before reaching any of the targeted objectives, which offers potential further upside from the well. While the discovery of this zone is good news, drilling continues and we await the results of the more promising objectives at deeper depths."

hi cyril

i bought at 48p when i saw the rise......another few k to help sp

should be news out soon

Have a look at AEX and the news there today.
Looks very cheap imo when compared with LDP.

Drilling update - 2 more zones found on A-7. :-)

Noticed that the excitables have piled in on ADVFN :-(

Yes - a very big group hug going on over on advfn (love that expression). Having topped up just yesterday, I'm feeling very smug right now.

Well done, Pond Life.

Up 30% today so you must be grinning from ear to ear!

u wrong then relishing after today......i'm up 18p after one day holding!!!!

Leed Petroleum is the "Oil & Gas Stock To Watch" in this week's shares mag. At time of printing, they have LDP as a buy at 44p - so well done to whoever authored that article.

its not often shares mag has a good tip......i dont even read it these days due to woeful tips a few years ago.....and that was when market was good

Hi everyone, just back on line having been off since Tuesday. What great news, 3
zones of over 80ft and still the primary objective to go, seems sometime next month is likely? Also of importance is the 2000bopd from Well-6 which gives us
some excellent revenue.
cyril

do u think sp will keep rising this month cyril? remember oil will go to 150$

Scot, market unsettled at this minute so until it quitens down who knows? I believe the result of the primary target(due next month) will have a lot of effect on the SP,fngers crossed but still a good company with some great assets and only
recently won at auction two more blocks.
cyril

good increase today......this should rise just on oil price alone

going even higher! come on cyril, smell the money

come on cyril.....stop working, its almost 5pm.....u must be about last british person working in uk, lol, haha.

sp hit 72p at 1 point but still a great day.....count your cash tonight cyril

Scot iv'e been out making the most of my retirement, on the golf course.
Nice to see the company bring noticed and with it the SP.
cyril

Another good day for Leed shareholders. I am planning to get the header updated with all the latest details but busy with work so could take a few days.
