The Smallcap Oil & Gas round up. Victory Special!

It’s a cold dark day for John J Ellerton the now Disgraced EX Exec’ Chairman of Sefton Resources. The crook today got his just desserts for 13 years of Lies and Fraud. I told Ellerton in Feb’ 2013 Unless he withdrew from the field of battle that ‘I would bring him down’ “It is a fight to the death & no quarter will be given” I will never back down in the face of fraud and lies. I, like, Mr T Winnfrith stand firm. Today is V.E Day.  Victory over Ellerton.

Argos Resources (LON: ARG)
The Falkland Islands based exploration company focused on the North Falkland Basin, released interim financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2013. Highlights included, $0.6M invested in further exploration and evaluation activities. A $1.2M loss from expensed overhead, including FOREX losses of $0.3M (how losing cash is a “Highlight” beats me!). $4.3M cash reserves at 30 June 2013. A new Competent Person’s Report describes 52 prospects and 40 leads, a significant increase over the 28 prospects previously reported. Best Estimate of prospective recoverable oil resources has increased from 2.1 billion barrels to 3.1 billion barrels, an increase of 46%. High Case prospective recoverable oil resources estimate exceeds 10 billion barrels???? of laughs. (Couldn’t resist that!). New (Wash) basin modelling studies confirm two mature source rocks within PL001 with at least 30 billion barrels of oil generated within the licence area. A farmout programme seeking industry partners is progressing.

Mr. Ian Thomson, Chairman of Argos, said: “The 3D seismic data we have obtained is the best quality data seen in the basin to date. This has allowed us to map with confidence numerous stratigraphic prospects associated with the Early Cretaceous delta system that is a principal feature of the licence area. New proprietary geochemistry studies have also confirmed that two proven oil source rocks within the licence area are mature for significant volumes of oil generation, and this has added to the improved estimated chances of success for most of the prospects. The directors continue to actively consider various financing options to facilitate exploration drilling.”

Has commenced drilling the UTS-13 appraisal well in the Uytas Field on Block A. The well will be drilled to a total vertical depth of approximately 200 metres targeting Cretaceous reservoirs using a newly acquired mobile truck mounted rig from Zhanros. This is the first of 10 remaining wells to be drilled to depths of between 200 and 450 metres as part of the initial appraisal programme for the field. Earlier this week MXP said they had finished drilling the BOR-4development well in the Borkyldakty Field, reaching total vertical depth of 1,609 metres. The well successfully encountered approximately 31 metres of net oil pay across four Triassic reservoirs ranging in depths from 1,395 to 1,532 metres, which was in line with expectations. The Company plans to complete the well and place it on production as soon as practicable. The Zhanros ZJ-20 rig will now move to drill the BCHW-3 appraisal well in the Baichonas West Field.

Leasing for the next drilling location has now been finalized with Nostra Terra increasing its WI in the well to 17.54%. Permitting is in process and the well (“Verde #3”) is scheduled to be drilled within the next 60 days. The first well in this project reached payout in less than one year, it continues to be a strong producer with cumulative net proceeds to Nostra Terra estimated to reach 200% of the Company’s original investment, by year-end. Due to the strength of the prospect the Company plans to continue to participate in further development. Alden McCall, Chief Operating Office of Nostra Terra, said; “Our first well in the Verde Prospect reached payout in approximately ten months of production, which is outstanding. We continue to be very pleased with this project and are looking forward to the results of the third well. Core analysis of the second well indicates that it will make an excellent injection well when the project is water-flooded in the future, and our investment in the well will be recovered in that way. The Verde Prospect remains an exceptional prospect and we intend further participation going forward.”
