SRON, SOU, NTOG, BOIL, RBD, UPL, UOG, UJO and EDR

Saffron Energy (SRON) returned to trading today, having published its supplementary AIM admission document excluding the Italian assets of its 50% shareholder, Po Valley Energy, which now will be distributing its SRON shareholding to its shareholders.  Sound Energy (SOU) will be distributing the SRON shares it is receiving for its Italian assets to its shareholders too, so there will be plenty of shares flooding the market.

Nostra Terra Oil & Gas Company (NTOG) is crowing about its "record revenue and production" and claiming to be "cash flow positive at the plc level".  How reinvesting net income from the field into workovers makes the company cashflow positive at the plc level is a mystery.  I guess once the auditors have been through it, the usual large loss will be recorded.

Baron Oil (BOIL) yesterday announced farm out agreements with Corallian (Reabold Resources (RBD)'s portfolio company) to earn 5% of Colter and 15% of Wick.  Quoted partners in Colter now are BOIL plus United Oil & Gas (UOG) and in Wick BOIL plus Upland Resources (UPL).

Union Jack Oil (UJO) and Egdon Resources (EDR) announced further farmouts earlier this week in respect of the forthcoming Biscathorpe-2 well, which is planned to be drilled around mid-year 2018.  UJO's interest is increasing to 22% in a best estimate prospective resource of 14 million barrels of oil (gross) with a geological chance of success of 40%.  Perhaps, UJO might have a chance to break out of its rut 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...
