On 3rd July PFC announced that it was trading well ahead of expectations. Not surprisingly, sp jumped but has now fallen back pretty much to the same level as before the announcement.

While perhaps not as exciting as finding the next Cairn, remember that in the goldrush days, it was rarely the prospectors who made the money, but rather the suppliers of the spades and tents and stuff - e.g. Levis if memory serves me aright.

probably nothing
PFC has a nasty habit of dumping on a whim

Can you be more specific )-;

not easily, but if you look at the chart, you will see that every so often, sp just dives, and a x-check would show that there may well be no obvious cause

it can go the other way too

all aka a volatile stock :-)

This is true as you say but staying on the fence just in case.

i followed it for years though i don't hold at the moment

Yes me to no stamp duty with these either for those buying shares.

I'm in.

it's one of the best in its sector
only question is whether or not it is a good sector to be in ...... probably is my view

PFC Certainly worth staying clear after March over the last 5 yrs according to their chart.

need to check, but i'ld guess that is immediately following their figures, regardless of how good they look

Do you guys not think that there is a little more downside to come? I suppose it's pretty much impossible to buy at the absolute bottom, but would be tempted to wait a little longer to see if the 200 DMA is broken, which historically does happen on a regular basis.

it's not in buying "wallet" at the moment, so had not really thought about it
to some extent, i guess sp moves parallel to crude (brent in saudi), so a view in that respect needs to be considered

Anyone want to buy my shares before their results this week? -)0

it's nearly always cheaper to buy these just after the results .... bit like DOM

Never like holding on results day now with any company, Oh well.

Up over 3% so happy with that I'm out.

Petrofac Handed USD1.30 Billion Project From Kuwait Oil Company

LONDON (Alliance News) - Oil services provider Petrofac Ltd on Tuesday said it has been handed a contract to conduct a lump-sum engineering, procurement and construction project valued at USD1.30 billion for Kuwait Oil Co's gathering centre project in the Burgan oilfield.

Petrofac shares were up 1.9% at 916.25 pence per share on Tuesday.

Petrofac said the gathering centre project, named GC 32, is in the south-east of Kuwait.

"The lump-sum engineering, procurement and construction project, valued at approximately USD1.30 billion, is the first sour gathering centre to be developed in the field and will process crude oil and associated gas recovered from the Arifjan, Marat, Minagish Oolite and Burgan Wara high hydrogen sulphide fields," said the company.

Work will begin shortly and is scheduled to be completed in mid 2020. The scope of work for GC 32 includes greenfield activities with tie-in works to existing brownfield infrastructure, and will have the capacity to produce around 120,000 barrels of oil per day together with associated water, gas and condensate.

"Kuwait is one of our core markets in the Middle East and we have been executing projects in the country since the early 1980's. We are proud to continue our association with KOC and look forward to working closely with them to deliver the project," said Chief Operating Officer Marwan Chedid.

thanks for the reminder ....need to start following this one again with rather more attention
chart looks encouraging
