Oil and Gas

An unsuccessful well in the French Guiana drilled three oil players down on the London Stock Exchange today as the operator announced no commercial hydrocarbon was encountered following months of drilling. At 10:45 AM GMT, shares of major oil player, Tullow Oil plc (LSE:TLW), and those of Wessex Exploration plc (LSE:WSX) and Northern Petroleum plc […]

US-focused shale oil development and production company, Nighthawk Energy (LSE:HAWK), revealed earlier today that the well drilled on the northernmost part of its wide acreage in Colorado encountered not only shale oil but conventional oil, a month after it has been drilled to its target depth. The Steamboat Hansen 8-10 well, the fourth of the […]

Independent oil and gas explorer, Sound Oil plc (LSE:SOU), has signed an agreement to sell gas it will soon produce from the Rapagnano field in Italy, sparking heavy trading of the AIM-quoted stock on the London Stock Exchange today.

Aim listed penny dreadful oil producer Sefton Resources (LSE:SER) is at it again with another RNS press release which contains a lie. This is such a blatant lie I wonder how anyone can now believe a word that chairman Jim Ellerton or his IR gopher sidekick Doctor Green now says. It is sheer comedy. Of course […]

Tin hat on I offer up a couple of thoughts on our favourite oil and gas joke company valuation play US Oil & Gas (USOP) and a little company on AIM, Great Western Mining (LSE: GWMO). You see they are from the same stable and the connection does not end there. Both companies were set […]

Leyshon Resources (LSE:LRL) shares have been unsuspended (at 25p) and have duly plunged back to 20.25p in the middle after the release of drilling news from China. I sense that a lot of Bulletin Board loons had got a little bit carried away last week pre-suspension and are now banking gains or just panicking as […]

After five days of suspending trading, Leyshon Resources Limited (LSE:LRL) did not avert investors’ disappointment when it commenced today, following the release of the drilling results from the company’s first well dug within one of the world’s largest gas basins located in Central China. Over eight million shares were traded at 9:30 AM GMT on […]

Having called both Falklands Oil & Gas (LSE:FOGL) and Borders & Southern (LSE:BOR) pretty brilliantly as oil junior shorts my pal the bear raider Evil Knievil and I had a good chat about which of the 90 or so juniors out there are the best shorts now.  The odd thing is that despite a series […]
