The RockHopper Cautionary Tale Part 2.

British flag of the Falkland Islands

Non Commercial!

Well there you go as intimated the latest RKH drill failed to enthuse the market. Non commercial. Lets hope you all used caution.

Not a fan of the Falklands mania too many imponderables but as posted last week at least RKH are under-pinned by Sea-lion! Take no credit for calling this one!

Good Luck.

 

Viva!

    Some facts then

    Non commercial as a separate exploratory well= yes
    Oil shows in all cores
    Confirmed understanding of basin geology
    Sand 3 it connected on same pressure gradient as Sea Lion discovery 8 km away (its the Oil Water Contact at one edge of the field) so appraisal 1=Check
    Now onto the southern lobe or maybe stick a whole right in the middle

    I just used caution and bought a load as people panicked and it became oversold, suspect that is not the caution you were on about though….

    Right time for beer.

    I’m impressed Dan. I sold out on your email at 340p trusting that your info was good. And damn was it good. I’m looking to buy in the the negativity which is wholey unjustified, but lets people like me pick up a great company for bargain basement prices. Keep the info coming. Cheers!

  4. alex says:

    xel much better bet than rkh but then I suspect there’s plenty of buyers at 275p for rkh! can’t go wrong at this price.

  5. Bob says:

    Good work Dan, appreciating the posts. Good push on MTA today, has your position changed on Roxi, I notice its still not on the favoured companies list?

    • Placing of £3m on 17.01.11 was 5x oversubscribed (not in presentation)
    • Drilling ready to go – 8 wells in 2011-2013
