FOGL sp has pulled back but so has all the market....the month of may is a curse for the markets....

rf are you a buyer at this level, where have all the rampers gone, has the south atlantic bubble been burst at last?

I see one of the supply boats is on its way back to the FI

I got a few more late yesterday and will buy more again today as there should be a bit of a drop all around AIM.

for "bit" read "massive" and "bloodbath"

I'm not into buying anything anymore....to do so : I would have to take big losses on others......will just wait....don't need any more FOGL.....have perhaps too many as it is....badly need a market recovery....dire to say the least !.

Starts coverage with a Buy rating and target price is 400p (pre drilling results).

I lied earlier.....(didn't meant to)......sold most of what was left of BOR and bought some more FOGL at the knocked down price.....now just a foothold in BOR and way overweight on FOGL.......fingers crossed....not bought so many since GKP early days.....if BOR strike FOGL go up...if they don't I agree with a FOGL rise with Loligo looking like a fabulous target !....so FOGL should rise as well....

Might get several updates as we drill deeper and deeper with Falklands oil and gas as they are targeting several reservoirs I gather....make it a bit more interesting...

Broker snap: Merchant Secs initiates Falkland Oil at buy
Fri 18 May 2012

FOGL - Falkland Oil & Gas Ltd.


................ LONDON (SHARECAST) - In a research note issued this morning analysts at Merchant Securities initiate coverage of Falklands Oil and Gas with a buy recommendation and a 400p price target.

For them this company, “holds the best exploration acreage in the Falkland Islands because its prospects are larger than elsewhere, yet we believe the exploration risks are not greater than elsewhere in the region.”

More specifically, they believe that the Loligo prospect is likely to be a condensate prospect, just as the Borders & Southern discovery at Darwin was a condensate discovery. They have modelled the prospect based on their estimate that, if successful, it could produce 2.0bn barrels of condensate, which compares to FOGL’s estimate of 4.7bn barrels of oil equivalent. Loligo is likely to commence drilling around the end of June or early July 2012 with results announced about 8 weeks later.

As well, they anticipate a ‘pre-drill catalyst’ in that they expect that prior to drilling Loligo the company will farm out 25% of its licence areas to a currently undisclosed party pursuant to a farm-in option agreement. FOGL would receive $60m in cash if the option is exercised in accordance with the base case of the agreement...........

sounds like "desperate rampers"

Hang on on a sec.

Proselenes said hitting gas was geologically impossible and now he's saying different

As I said before, "I would laugh my head off if they hit rock at loligo"

Screw this, the odds aren't lookin that good with only "8% for Loligo and 8% for Soctia"
For all Proselenes's ramping, at the end of the day, it's only 8%

GS said "We assume that the company drills the Loligo and Scotia prospects as part of this drilling campaign"

Goldman Sachs are only making an assumption after all

I don't get it, I really don't.. 470 BILLION barrels and only 8% chance of success?? Someone please explain??

Also, what does this c.50% chance of encountering liquids mean. What does the "c" mean??>??????

"it could produce 2.0bn barrels of condensate, which compares to FOGL’s estimate of 4.7bn barrels of oil" This does not compare because

1)firstly 2 is smaller than 4.7
2)condensate is NOT as good as oil

Hmmmmm

RF - How could you sell BOR after reading this. It sounds like Stebbing has a greater chance of success than FOGL wells

"Despite the success of the Darwin East prospect we would still regard" FOGL "prospects as relatively high risk and as such apply conservative chances of success (8% for Loligo and 8% for Soctia; a higher risking than for Borders & Southern’s remaining Stebbing prospect to reflect the 3D seismic that Borders possesses and the de-risking impact of Darwin)."

I'm going to SHOVE this quot back into Proselenes's face

"Loligo and Scotia (FOGL drills) are prime oil window."

That's not what it's looking like now, is it??? Seems after all, it was all talk. We're being ramped. I dnt like it. I want him to come clean

I think its time for me to in the bed. I've earned a nice sleep after a good few hours of research/daydreaming!!

FSM
C. is shorthand for circa. ="about"

I think FSM might be new name of someone I have already squelched - that series of posts is nigh on confirming of it.

If you note the 8% CoS is what Goldman are applying, not a CPR or geologist, just Goldmans who openly say it is "conservative".

Condensate is more valuable than oil for a start, 2 billion barrels of oil would come along with around 15 Tcf of gas, so an LNG plant would be built, the gas turned into LNG after the highly valuable condensate extracted.

Anyway, its only the shallower targets (as I have said many times already) that are more likely gas condensate - its the deeper ones that are more likely oil.

I will copy you a post from TMF :)
