Thanks SWW. Appreciated by those of us still in. Yes the short term impact on revenue will be real but there doesn't seem to be any suggestion that total reserves are not still as expected, which is good news.

Andy - thanks for observation. It is not as bad as it seems as I had 8 top-ups on top of the original buy. I will be out of UK quite a bit over next 5 months and SEY was not one that I wanted to leave unattended.
However it is on the watchlist - could be a rebuy if attractive.
Good luck thanks for your informtive posts.

Sunray41,

Thanks, I agree if you are going to be away, you have to be careful.


SWW,

Thanks, not such good news there from Hardman, and now the reason for the placing becomes apparent.

Not sure that will knock too much, if anything off SEY, as there seems to be a good possibility it will be sorted within a fairly short timeframe.

the twonew wells were in the final report if i remember right as for the ching thing if its an average then they must have hit the 75k barrel and over the 50k barrel to hit it would they not have

as for sey well lets just say if you want to sell there are lots and lots wanting to buy

look at today lots of sells and not a great deal of movement

mind you watch at close as the mm drop it by .5 without even getting a red face

A couple of more decent buys can push it above 30p

deadfred,

Well for every seller there is a buyer, and in this case it's normally Amevscap!

Not worried about the temporary reduction in production as the current high price of oil will compensate to a large degree IMO.

And then we have 2 new wells in the GOM!

Today has seen a right royal battle at the 28p level. Lots of people selling and other willing to take all the stock on offer. Selling dries up below 28p and the buying dries up above 28p. I reckon we'll have another RNS from AMVESCAP very shortly.
Once the selling stops we will soon breach 30p. I've been here since October 2004, so I can wait a little longer.

Pondy,

Me too, patience has paid off on SEY.

Same here. 15/10/04 to be precise. Doubled up in Feb this year. A month late perhaps but wth, nobody's perfect.

2nd December 2002 for me. Some exciting times, mostly pretty tedious, especially the "1 by Christmas" brigade throughout 2004!

Gents

I posted the same question over the road. HNR presentation today states that Tiof will be tied back to the Berge Helene for part of the life of the field. So the tie back part of the GOM agreement will come to force? Has anyone managed to get any information on this part of the Agreement revenue etc.

Regards

My initial purchase was very badly timed. I paid 20.5 p - top of the shop at the time. It wasn't until January this year that I finally showed a profit. I did however almost double my position with another wedge below 15p. This top up could soon be a bagger for me. All in all, better than money in the bank, but quite a ride to get to where we are now.

pond you aint seen nothing yet

belive and it shall come to pass

deadfred - can it really be you of cfp fame?

queen1 - I thought we had made peace, and yet there you go again.


Do you forget so easily?

I note you say nothing about hilary and her blatent provocations and attempts at deramping.

That was all right then was it?

pond life dont remind me of that company plz

im glad it still came good but if you was on it you know what happened with the old md and the ex employee selling at same time

lets just say left a bad taste

only my opinion mind

anyway made me money back with this and a few otheirs

hope you was not caught as well

queen1, i think you missed the point " 1 before Xmas 04" it was just to put a smile on the face of the regular contributers on this thread. 30p soon.Regards goal.

Thanks goal. SWW, lighten up and don't take it so personally. At least I didn't mention the recipes...

The end of day spread at 29.25 - 29.5 is misleading. The real figure at 4.30 was 28.75 - 29. Not that I am complaining. The closing auction trade was at 29.25 so this augurs well for next week. AMVESCAP must be continuing to accumulate and the price is going higher to find fresh sellers. I am convinced that we are approaching the end game with this.

Wouldn't like it to end so soon Pond Life, I think a new oil find would be better first. Then there would be huge gains here.
