This is another possible incredible winner, Could double all of a sudden, depending
on flows and future discoveries, better send off those (Wben) forms now as
this is an American Stock traded on Aim.

Shares up.....hostlities open.....hope the war zone does not come near them....!.

RF,

It should be contained and over quickly, IMO.

South Ossettia may not belong to Georgia in the future though!

Very worrying situation now, these crazy Russians will end up blowing up the main pipeline to Turkey......oil will then jump $30 in one go....Bush could end up by sending a carrier force soon...the Ruskies are looking for trouble big time !.

estonia, poland, lithuania and latvia also sent note of major concern about russia...........just read putin speech where he wants ex cccp countries ie. ukraine, belarus, georgia etc under russia again..........oh dear, russia still thinks it can bomb and bully and rape people.....nothing much has changed in 100 years from these sickening brutal people.

i did say req field a few weeks ago when u mentioned last depression in 30s that we had stalin etc.......well we have probably someone similar if not scarier now in putin..........this could turn into a european war and usa may be foolish by trying to appease russia with iran issue as it could be too late by then

jes, if russia take over georgia and iran thing takes off, west has virtually nothing.....oil will go to 300$ as opec predicted

There is a RNS on FRR's website saying that operations are continuing as usual !.

As usual???


UK smallcap opening - Frontera Resources down on drilling delay - AFX


LONDON (Thomson Financial) - A disappointing operations update robbed Frontera Resources of 11 pence, at 70 pence.

Since April, the oil & gas explorer and producer has been working to return to drilling operations as soon as possible at the 'C' Prospect. However, it has encountered delays associated with obtaining the required drilling equipment in the current oil price environment.

Not the same RNS, well, patience is required once again....the 3rd and 4th quarters are not that far away, they call the C prospect "giant", this should come right sooner or later.....as long as the pain in the neck Russians are kept at bay !.

cant see that happening req field.......they want ukraine as their gold medal....but georgia is 1st on hitlist.....they want old soviet union back....well putin does anyway so unless u have ideas of getting rid of him, then his idealistic views will remain

was watching russians burning down some poor old georgian guys house on tv last night.......was one of many from reports on tv......they'll be raping the women too knowing what russian men r like as they r notorious for that

If they (the Russians) go any further the Americans will arrive,.....and there will be trouble....coming back to this unusual oil company : they do have a lot of different prospects and possibilities so I really think we could have a 3 stock here....but in time.....as long as they keep on drilling and completing wells and preparing to redrill the "C prospect" that's allright with me....now, if you ask me what the sp will do in the short term : I would not like to guess, but at the moment I'm remaining in for the long haul....same with RIFT.

sp wise....was it something I said ?....gone down now !.

The Americans will not get involved apart from criticising verbally...they got enough in their hands dirty in Iraq and Afghanistan already. Furthermore Russia is a super-power.

Perhaps not but they might supply portable anti tank missiles and stingers....to the Georgian forces....what we need is peace in the region, politicians are to blame for this small conflict, I just want FRR to get on with the drilling !.

sorry req........russia have spies in countries now to do with energy......and as i say, putin wants georgia etc back......also ukraine will come under his radar again soon.....and putin shows no mercy

the russians r still there.....dont seem to be budging.......ukraine could be next on hitlist.....although russia did ay they wanted to nuke poland last weekend in news.

not surprised to see this down much further in last few days........cant see georgia situation easing for a long time....... in fact i imagine whole region to be nervous for many years to come

oh dear............

Russia threatens new confrontation over Georgian provinces
A fresh confrontation between Moscow and the West was looming after Russia announced that it was preparing to recognise the independence of the two Georgian breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

The State Duma, Russia's parliament, has been recalled and will meet in emergency session on Monday to debate an Abkhaz appeal for immediate recognition of the region's sovereignty. The South Ossetian rebel leader, Eduard Kokoity, said he would follow suit imminently.

Russian acquiescence to the proposals would inevitably mark a serious escalation of the crisis in the Caucasus by further undermining a fragile ceasefire in the area and creating a fresh diplomatic rift with the United States and Europe.

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia has signed 14 United Nations Security Council resolutions upholding accepting that Abkhazia and South Ossetia remain part of Georgia despite establishing rebel administrations after secessionist wars in the early 1990s.

But after crushing Georgia on the battlefield, Russia has indicated that it was no longer prepared to honour UN edicts on the breakaway provinces. Earlier this week, Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov told the world to "forget" about Georgia's territorial integrity.

Moscow is now signaling that it will move much quicker than expected in formally recognizing the two regions.

Sergei Mironov, speaker of the Duma's upper house or Federation Council, said a vote on recognition would be overwhelmingly passed.

"The Federation Council is ready to recognize the independent states of South Ossetia and Abkhazia if that is what the people of these republics want," he said.

There can be little doubt that the legislators who sit in the Duma, whose independence from the executive was removed by the prime minister Vladimir Putin, will vote as they are ordered.

Recognition can only be made with the agreement of President Dmitry Medvedev. He has already said that he would "unambiguously" support independence for the two provinces.

Such a move would place tremendous strain on the fragile French brokered truce that ended the five-day war last week. Georgia has insisted that it would not tolerate losing either province, while the international community has repeatedly insisted that the country's borders would not be changed.

Russia, which has long given financial and military backing to both South Ossetia and Abkhazia, has accused the West of hypocrisy in supporting independence for Kosovo but opposing sovereignty for the two regions.

The West has argued that Kosovo was a special case, in large part because of its overwhelmingly Albanian majority. The Abkhaz have only become a majority in Abkhazia after 300,000 ethnic Georgians were forced to flee their homes during a brutal war in the early 1990s. Ossetians are a majority in South Ossetia, but the tiny province - roughly the size of Norfolk - has many ethnic Georgian villages too.

The development came as the focus of diplomatic pressure on Russia switched from the United States to Europe, with Britain, France and Germany all condemning Moscow for reneging on pledges to withdraw its troops from Georgia.

While 40 empty army lorries were seen heading back across the Georgian border, there was no sign of a large-scale withdrawal and in many parts of the country Russian troops continued to dig themselves in.

Fed up with Russia's recalcitrance, David Miliband has warned the Kremlin that it faced serious consequences for its invasion of Georgia even if it does finally honour repeated pledges to its withdraw troops.

"Withdrawal is the first step but that doesn't mean that we forget about what has happened," the Foreign Secretary said in Tbilisi. "The sight of Russian tanks in a European city has been a chilling one." France accused Russia of breaking its word on a pullout three times, while Germany described Moscow's apparent prevarication as "very unsatisfactory".

Mr Miliband also condemned Russia's attacks on Georgia's civilian infrastructure, accusing Moscow of seeking to command international respect in a "very Cold War way".

The russians have a damn cheek !, I wonder what they would they would say if a so called region in their country was supported by foreign powers, they only seem to recognise force.....anyway the americans are starting to come....unloading help in a Georgian port...perhaps we might have peace at long last !.

russia are staying on poti which is main place for transport of oil.....strange that eh. anyway, usa are to pre-occupied with iran, afghanistan, iraq etc which is maybe another reason why russia are now moving into europe again.

watch out for ukraine next requoired field.....russia r giving them russian passports in last few weeks........they did that to south ossetia 5 years ago!!!

yes, russia bully, rape and use violence......they never seem to change in life no matter what time in history one looks at.
one thing russia doesnt like is soft people.........they will stand on your throat if they sense softness.......thats why main western powers need to stand up to them.

there may be peace as such but this whole region is going to be tense for many years now at least.

Just hoping that FRR can get on with a possible fantastic strike with the "C Prospect" !.
