AAOG, UKOG, SAVP and RBD

News today from Anglo African Oil & Gas (AAOG) announcing the finalisation of a contract with Schlumberger to supply support services for the drilling of the new TLP-103 well, the completion of the workover of the TLP-101 well and the bringing forward of the workover of the TLP-102 well so that it will be completed by early April.  To me it seems clear that they will announce the placing then, hoping that the workovers will this time have resulted in a meaningful increase in production.

UK Oil & Gas Investments (UKOG) slipped out news on Friday afternoon of another convertible loan conversion, this time at 1.42p per share.  There is still £5.25 million outstanding, so based upon the decline to date, the share price should be well under 1p by the time the loan is fully converted, probably sometime in the summer.  At this point I would expect to see a "conventional" discounted placing, followed by a huge ramp.  It's one to keep an eye on.

Savannah Petroleum (SAVP) waited until well after market close on Friday to announce that one of their institutional investors has sold down.  The company seems to be going nowhere now and with the massive supply of shares issued as a result of the Nigeria acquisition, even the Niger drilling campaign appears to be having no impact.

Finally, Reabold Resources (RBD) announced today the authority granted by the general meeting to the directors to allot the new placing shares.  I suspect that new acquisition announcements can be expected very soon now.

ECO, AMER, DGOC, AAOG, MYN, AOGL, MXO, ADME, BOIL, UKOG and PET

Fairly quiet last week for major news, but still plenty worth mentioning.   Eco Atlantic (ECO) announced the mobilisation of the Stenna Forth drillship which is now en route to Guyana.  Spud of the Jethro Lobe prospect is expected on or around 26 June. Amerisur Resources (AMER) announced approval of the farm-out agreement with Occidental relating to four exploration blocks in southern Columbia holding an estimated 448 MMBO mid-case gross prospective resources.  In return for acquiring a 50% interest in each block, Occidental will fund a $93 million exploration and appraisal programme starting this year.  In the meantime, AMER has increased production to over 6,800 BOPD. Diversified Gas & Oil (DGOC) continued to announce share buy backs running at around £1 million per day.  They are managing to support the price for the time being, but with no rebuttal of the allegations made against them, what happens when, as is inevitable, they run o...

RKH PMO 88E RRE BPC PET PVR TRP LEK ZEN AAOG

First full week of the New Year and plenty going on.   Rockhopper Exploration (RKH)  announced Heads of Terms with Navitas to farm-in to Sea Lion.  This adds additional strength to the Sea Lion joint venture, which Rockhopper believes will increase the likelihood of a successful senior debt project financing for the Sea Lion Phase 1 development.  Key of course will be the local political situation. Sea Lion JV partner  Premier Oil (PMO)  announced its trading and operations update.  2019 production was 78,400 boepd.  It's also looking forward to drilling its first well in Alaska, which it describes as "potentially transformational" for Premier, whose own interest comes via a farm out from  88 Energy (88E) , which incidentally is now up 100% from when I mentioned it as a favourite towards the end of last year.   Premier also announced proposed UK North Sea acquisitions, which will add around 23,000 boepd p...
