Werkauft denn da 5,84 Mio Aktien auf einen Streich!?

[Charly]

Wollen die das Projekt alleine durchziehen oder gehen die ein JV ein, was ja bereits im Stockhouse fleißig diskutiert wird. Puni kannst du mir mal deinen unterstrichenen Satz verdeutlichen! Danke

[Punicamelon]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 28.874.355 von Charly am 18.04.07 10:33:53

In dem unterstrichenen Satz steht eigendlich nur, dass das Geld für die Arbeitskosten verwendet wird, von der weiteren Firmanstrategie stand Nichts drin.
Ich habe den Satz unterstrichen, weil ich es unnormal finde, dass in so kurzer Zeit 2 PPs durchgezogen werden und das Aktuelle sogar noch mehr Geld einbringt, als das Letzte PP im Februar. Das Aktuelle bringt 30Mio US Dollar ein, hingegen das Letzte 25,6Mio US Dollar.
Die stecken momentan ne Menge Kohle in ihr Projek rein. Man kann es negativ sehen, dass irgend Etwas nicht optimal gelaufen ist oder positiv, dass es tatsächlich so viel Sinn macht, so viel Geld zu investieren.
Angesichts den grossen, gut gegradeten Ölsandressourcen mache ich mir aber keine Gedanken, dass das Geld gut angelegt ist

Oilsands Quest announces plan to accelerate timelines for development of Axe Lake Discovery
Monday May 7, 7:00 am ET

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/070507/to451.html?.v=18&printer=…
CALGARY, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI - News) announces the company's plans to accelerate timelines for development of the Axe Lake discovery on its oil sands exploration permits in Saskatchewan. Although commerciality of Axe Lake bitumen resources has not yet been determined, the company's management team believes that, based on drilling results and determination of reservoir characteristics to date, Axe Lake will be suited to in-situ recovery.
"We are investing now in activities that will create value and aggressive timelines for development," said Christopher H. Hopkins, President and CEO of Oilsands Quest. "We are evaluating reservoir characteristics to determine the best technologies for production and to help identify potential operating partners." The company expects to be in a position to begin discussing potential joint venture partnerships in 2008.

Potential for In-Situ Recovery

Oilsands Quest has a number of initiatives underway to evaluate in-situ recovery alternatives. The company has engaged industry-leading technical specialists to undertake studies specific to the reservoir characteristics of the Axe Lake Discovery. It is also participating in collaborative research programs being conducted by major research facilities in Alberta and Saskatchewan. In addition, the company has been expanding its own staff and facilities as it moves toward development.

"We have assembled a high-caliber team with the experience and expertise to take the company forward," said Mr. Hopkins. "Our overall target is commercialization; however, at the same time, we will continue to conduct exploration on our Saskatchewan permits and our adjacent permits in Alberta."

Planned Activities and Preliminary Timelines

Following is an overview of key activities planned for the upcoming 12 to 18 months, along with an indication of preliminary timelines:


- Evaluate drilling data and perform laboratory studies for bitumen
recovery (underway)
- Conduct environmental programs to facilitate regulatory approvals
(underway)
- Develop engineering timelines to pilot plant stage (underway)
- Conduct economic feasibility and risk assessment studies (underway)
- Undertake reservoir modeling (Q3/2007)
- Drill test wells to confirm laboratory studies (2008, subject to
approvals)
- Initiate joint venture partnership negotiations for Axe Lake
development (2008)
- Continue exploration in Saskatchewan and adjacent Alberta townships
(ongoing).

In addition to the above activities and a stepped-up exploration program, Oilsands Quest will continue to work closely with communities in the northwest region of Saskatchewan and with all stakeholders to gain support for future development.

Axe Lake Resource Characteristics

Although studies of the bitumen characteristics at Axe Lake are ongoing, the following characteristics are indicated to this point in time:


- Continuity of thick oil sands over 36 sections (36 square miles)
- McMurray formation up to 45 metres thick (150 feet) with oil sands
thickness up to 30 metres (100 feet)
- Coarse-grained sands with very low fines content, which results in
very good porosity (36% to 39%)
- Oil saturation as high as 92%, averaging in excess of 80%
- Excellent permeability, both horizontal and vertical (greater than 5
Darcies)
- No shale inter-bedding, no top or bottom water
- Average depth of 185 to 200 metres (607 to 656 feet).

Axe Lake & In-Situ Recovery

Axe Lake is considered suitable for in-situ recovery based on the resource characteristics, including the following:


- Resource is located at an appropriate depth.
- High permeability and porosity characteristics could result in high
recovery factors.
- Hot water, steam and/or solvent flood recovery processes are expected
to be efficient at relatively low temperatures and pressures.
- Clay-rich layer overlying resource is expected to provide an
effective seal for anticipated recovery processes.

Leading technical firms have been contracted to undertake bitumen recovery studies and to design field tests. Oilsands Quest is actively examining a variety of recovery techniques with the goal of identifying the most economic, energy-efficient, high-yield, "green" technologies suitable for the bitumen resource at Axe Lake.

Oilsands Quest Inc. is involved in oil sands exploration focused primarily on its oil sands exploration permits in Saskatchewan and Alberta. The company has initiated pre-commercialization studies for its Axe Lake Discovery, placing it at the forefront of the development of an oil sands industry in the province of Saskatchewan.

Hallo Charly,

auch ich bin gespannt, wer der Partner von Oilsand Quest werden wird. Ich eröffne hiermit die Spekulationen, wer es denn nun sein wird.
Nach meinen Informationen ist Imerial Oil der Weltmarktführer im Öl In-Situ Verfahren, jedenfalls haben die die Höchste Förderung hinter CNQ, Encana, Petro Canada, Nexen und Shell.
Wie auf der Grafik zu sehen ist, stürmen aber auch noch ein paar andere Firmen nach oben. Die Höchste Förderung werden wohl Nexen und Huskey erreichen..... oder eben Oilsand Quest

[Schandmaul]

Hossa, der aktuelle Ölpreis schlägt ja ordentliche Purzelbäume
Kommt es mir außerdem nur so vor oder scheint die Peak-Oil Diskussion langsam wieder aufzukeimen ?
Einiges von dem was derzeit so über den Äther schwirrt erinnert nämlich entfernt an den Hype vor gut 18 Monaten.
Es mehren sich ja die Stimmen, daß wir Peak-Oil wohl irgendwann in den ersten Monaten dieses Jahres bereits überschritten haben sollen.
Was meint ihr ?

Ob 2005 oder 2006 oder 2007 oder meinetwegen auch erst 2015 ist doch egal! Hauptsache es setzt sich allgemein die Erkenntnis durch, dass die braune Brüher langsam knapp wird und daher im Preis stiegt!
Dann sind die Assets von BQI bald zweistellige Millarden-Dollarbeträge wert.

Ne, wo stand denn das?

Vor 1-2Jahren hatte ich aber von noch wesentlich höhere Preisen gehört, teilweise 2-3Dollar pro Barrel.

Als gebeutelter Oilsand Quest Aktionär nehm ich auch 0,5Dollar pro Barrel, wenn dies endlich mal der Aktienkurs berücksichtigen würde

OILSANDS QUEST - Erst über 3,31 $ wieder attraktiv

Oilsands Quest - Kürzel: BQI - ISIN: US6780461033
Börse: AMEX in USD / Kursstand: 2,96 $

Kursverlauf vom 18.10.2006 bis 31.05.2007 (log. Kerzenchartdarstellung / 1 Kerze = 1 Tag)

Rückblick: Die OILSANDS QUEST Aktie markierte im Mai 2006 bei 8,91 $ das AllTimeHigh und startete eine Abwärtskorrektur, welche nach wie vor andauert. Die kurzfristigen Muster sehen dabei wenig konstruktiv aus. Die Aktie zeigt sich nach dem erneuten Rückfall unter die 3,31 $ Unterstützung weiter schwach und tendiert in Richtung Jahrestief bei 2,75 $. Das kurzfristige Chartbild ist neutral mit bärischer Tendenz zu werten, das mittelfristige ist absolut neutral zu werten.

Charttechnischer Ausblick: Gelingt keine schnelle Rückkehr über 3,31 $ per Tages- und Wochenschluss, drohen kurzfristig weitere Abgaben. Unter 2,75 $ sollte die Korrektur bis ca. 2,40 und darunter ggf. sogar 1,50 $.
Ein Anstieg per Tages- und Wochenschluss über 3,31 $ würde das kurzfristige Chartbild etwas aufhellen und Aufwärtspotenzial bis ca. 4,00 und 5,43 $ auslösen. Erst ein signifikanter Anstieg über 5,43 $ generiert ein größeres Kaufsignal mit Zielen bei 8,91 und darüber langfristig ca. 14,00 - 15,00 $.

Irgendein amerikanischer Börsenbrief hat vor kurzem geschrieben, daß Oilsands Quest mit 1,3$/Barrel bewertet ist, auf Basis der pessimistischen Schätzung der Vorkommen, die gerade bestimmt werden. Das gewaltige Explorationspotential ist hier noch völlig unberücksichtigt. Sollte man hier langsam einsteigen? Werden die noch in diesem Jahr nachgewiesenen Reserven den Kursverfall stoppen oder sogar für einen deutlichen Kursanstieg sorgen?

Oilsands Quest granted additional extension for final land relinquishment

CALGARY, June 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oilsands Quest Inc. (Nachrichten) reports it has received an extension to the Saskatchewan Government's deadline for the planned and final relinquishment of a portion of its oil sands exploration permits located in northwest Saskatchewan. On Friday, June 1, the company was granted an extension until July 9, 2007.

"This is very good news, as it will allow us to further extend our ongoing evaluation of the Saskatchewan permits through additional seismic and airborne survey programs currently underway," said Christopher H. Hopkins, President&CEO of Oilsands Quest. "Results of these programs will help us further refine and optimize our relinquishment plan beyond the Axe Lake Discovery area."

As stated in the past, the relinquishment originally scheduled for May 31, 2006 will result in Oilsands Quest holding oil sands permits totaling approximately 508,000 acres in northwest Saskatchewan; it will be one of the largest contiguous land positions in the oil sands industry.

Winter operations video on web site

A 10-minute video presentation, featuring activities at the Axe Lake site during the winter 2006/07 exploration program, has been posted on the company's web site (http://www.oilsandsquest.com/).

Oilsands Quest Inc. is building long-term shareholder value through exploration of its oil sands permits in Saskatchewan and Alberta. The company has initiated pre-commercialization studies for its Axe Lake Discovery, placing it at the forefront of the development of an oil sands industry in the province of Saskatchewan.

[Punicamelon]

Das neue Video auf der Oilsands Quest Homepage über die Explorationen 2006/2007 ist sehr sehenswert. Scheinbar arbeitet Oilsands Quest auf Hochtouren ,um die Explorationen weiterhin vorwärts zu bringen.
Es wurden viele Strassen durch die Wälder gewalzt, 2Camps mit insgesamt Platz für über 200Arbeiter wurden gebaut und auch eine grosse Landebahn für Flugzeuge mit grösserem Equipment ist nun vorhanden.
Etwa in der Mitte des Videos schneidet Hopkins persönlich das Zeitfenster an und stellt 7-10Jahre Zeithorizont für eine commerzielle Produktion in Aussicht.

Ein ganzes Jahrzehnt ist wahrlich eine sehr sehr lange Zeit, aber ich bin weiterhin überzeugt, da ich an nachhaltig hohe Ölpreise glaube und grundsätzlich vom Vorhandensein grosser, gut gegradeter Ölsandkonzentrationen überzeugt bin.

Oilsands Quest provides update of recent activities on its Saskatchewan oil sands permits
Thursday June 7, 9:00 am ET
Amex: BQI

CALGARY, June 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI - News) reports a high level of activity on its oil sands exploration permits in northwest Saskatchewan, where current field activities are focused on geophysical programs and environmental studies.
"We have just completed a significant seismic survey, and we have initiated an extensive airborne magnetic survey program," said Christopher H. Hopkins, President and CEO of Oilsands Quest. "Subject to regulatory approval, we plan to continue with more seismic and drilling throughout the summer. Equally important, in preparation for potential commercialization, we have launched a major program of baseline environmental studies."

Field activities update

On May 8, permits were granted by the Saskatchewan Government for the continuation and expansion of 2-D seismic surveys. Since then, approximately 60 kilometres (37 miles) of seismic have been completed, primarily along the main road from Provincial Highway 955 to the site of Oilsands Quest's base camp. The company plans to continue to undertake seismic work, including 3-D seismic surveys. Over 160 kilometres (100 miles) of seismic were run during the winter 2006/07 exploration program. Subject to approval, the company also plans to conduct additional seismic surveys on its Alberta permits which are immediately west of its Saskatchewan permits.

Last week, two fixed-wing aircraft began a high-resolution, intensive 21,000-kilometre (13,000-mile) airborne magnetic survey program within the company's Saskatchewan permit lands, building further on the 850 kilometres (530 miles) of airborne surveys made this past winter.

During the past two months since completion of winter drilling operations, Oilsands Quest's base camp has hosted a daily work force of up to 55 people involved in a variety of field program activities.

Baseline environmental studies initiated

Environmental activities, which include environmental monitoring on an ongoing basis, have escalated dramatically this summer to include a comprehensive, $4 million program of baseline environmental studies. This program, which is integral to the timeline for potential project development, began in early April and will continue through the summer and fall.

Involving approximately 16 environmental disciplines and 40 to 50 people in the field, the baseline studies are focusing on such topics as water and air quality, hydrogeology, fisheries, soils and terrain, vegetation, wildlife, biodiversity, and traditional land use and ecological knowledge.

Pre-commercialization studies advancing

In tandem with field operations, Oilsands Quest is also advancing the pre-commercialization evaluation studies of its Axe Lake Discovery. Dr. Erdal Yildirim, Executive Vice President, Project Development, said, "We are working with industry-leading specialists and participating in the evaluation of a number of alternative production methods expected to optimize recovery for our reservoir, as well as finalizing the timelines for the Axe Lake in-situ bitumen recovery field pilot."

Technical office opened in Calgary

In early May, the company opened a technical facility in the light industrial area of northeast Calgary for its growing geological and engineering staff. At the present time, Oilsands Quest has 23 employees.

Oilsands Quest Inc. is building long-term shareholder value through exploration of its oil sands permits in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Im Stockhouse herrscht auch Ratlosigkeit und Unverständnis, was ist da los ?

Da stehen seit Monaten die ersten wirklich wichtigen News ins Haus und die Anleger werfen ihre Anteile auf den Markt, was ist denn da los ?

7 Jahre bis zur Produktion, vieleicht auch mehr. Welcher Investor will so lange warten? Ob die noch dieses Jahr nachgewiesenen Ölsandvorkommen den Kurs stützen oder gar nachhaltig steigen lassen ist fraglich. Es gibt genug Rohstofffirmen, die große Vorkommen haben und der Kurs fällt trotzdem. Außerdem ist bei der MCAP eine Institutionellenquote von 6,5% mehr als dürftig. Die nächsten Jahre dürften aufgrund des geplanten Explorationsprogramms hohe Kosten anfallen - und so gut wie keine Einnahmen. D.h. es wird etliche Kapitalerhöhungen geben -> Verwässerung, evtl. sogar Besitzerwechsel durch die neuen Aktien. Es gibt zahlreiche lohnenswertere Investments als Oilsands Quest. Ich würde aktuell niemandem hier raten, einzusteigen.

Hi Frank,

inwiefern ist der zeitliche Rahmen etwas Neues ?
Das war doch schon längst bekannt, ebenso wie die Tatsache,
daß früher oder später ein JV-Partner in\'s Boot muss
um die Finanzierung zu sichern.
Die Aussichten sind doch fundamental trotzdem positiv.

Ganz so düster sehen ich die Zukunft von BQI auch nicht!

Die fortschreitenden Explorationakrivitäten führen IMO zu steigende proven reserves, die lassen damit die MCap ansteigen (fairer Wert)!
Zukünftige Placements werden dann nicht zum jetzigen Kurs gelauncht werden müssen, sondern zu einem weit höheren,
so dass die dilutation durch höheren share price überkompensiert wird und damit der Kurs durchaus steigen kann.

Die höchsten Gewinne bei CBQ wurden nicht unmittelbar vor Beginn der Produktion (also in diesem Jahr) gemacht, sondern lange vorher...

Hi Dirkix & Schandmaul,

die Darstellung ist wahrscheinlich zu negativ, aber ich bleibe dabei, es gibt auf Sicht von 12 - 24 Monaten wesentlich aussichtsreichere Firmen im Petroleum Universum, z.B.

Antrim Energy
Oilexco
Max Petroleum (übrigens fast 50% Instis)

Ich wünsche allen Oilsands Quest Investierten viel Erfolg mit der Aktie, aber ich glaube eben nicht daran, daß sich hier die nächsten 2 Jahre viel tut.

[Punicamelon]

aber ich bleibe dabei, es gibt auf Sicht von 12 - 24 Monaten wesentlich aussichtsreichere Firmen im Petroleum Universum. Ich wünsche allen Oilsands Quest Investierten viel Erfolg mit der Aktie, aber ich glaube eben nicht daran, daß sich hier die nächsten 2 Jahre viel tut.


Zugegeben, momentan läuft der Aktienkurs von Oilsand Quest wie ein Stück Zucker im Wasserglas, was aber zählt, ist die Zukunft und nicht mehr die Vergangenheit und je stärker der Aktienkurs fällt, umso wahrscheinlicher ist der Anstieg, denn die langfristigen Fundamentalzahlen sind mehr als in Ordnung.

Die grundsätzliche Problematik im Aktienkurs von Oilsands Quest, besteht in den andauernden verwässernden Dilutionen. Das ist auch genau das, was ich an Hopkins stark bemängele. Warum sagt er nicht klipp und klar, das Ganze dauert konservativ 3Jahre /500Mio USD Explorationskosten, und dann würde Klarheit herschen, und sich der Kurs schnell beim fairen Wert einpendeln, wo immer der auch sein mag (abgezinst zu den Gewinnaussichten natürlich), aber dann wäre endlich Ruhe im Karton durch die entsprechende Planungssicherheit. Momentan muss jeder Aktionär selbst spekulieren, wie viel Geld die in wie viel Jahren "verbrennen", eh der weitere Plan für die Firma auf dem Tisch liegt, genau das ist der Scheissdreck, deshalb geht der Kurs auch runter. Die Firma ist mit 2Camps und 200Arbeiter + Baumaschienen und und und nun nicht mehr klein, als Aktionär möchte ich wissen, was die Nächsten 2-3Jahre geplant ist, selbst wenn das nur ungefähr gesagt wird, ich bin ja nicht kleinlich.

Cameco ist in der selben Angelegenheit wesentlich professioneller! Seit die frühzeitig Ihren detallierten, langfristigen Cigar lake Bericht auf den Tisch gelegt haben, läufts wieder wie Schmitz Katze, weil eben Planungssicherheit entsteht.

Bei Oilsands Quest sehe ich grosse Hoffnungen, wenn auf eine präzise Definition Ihrer Ressourcen zugesteuert wird, selbst wenn das nur Schritt für Schritt erfolgt. Bei allen anderen Öl Explorern oder Förderern bin ich eigendlich an ein bewährtes P1, P2, P3 System gewöhnt. P-Systeme stufen verschiede wahrscheinlich vorhandene Mengen in Wahrscheinlichkeiten ein, dies erwarte ich von Oilsands Quest dringend auf die Sicht von 12-18Monaten und genau an diesem Punkt sehe ich auch die Chance bei Oilsand Quest.

Meinetwegen soll man mit 3 oder 5% Wahrscheinlichkeit anfangen Ihre unexplorierte Ressource in der Grösse zu definieren und dann sich Stück für Stück hochstufen, eh die Ressource vernünftig exploriert ist. Angesichts dessen, dass die Sättigungen fantastische 15-16% betragen und auch die Dicke der Bitumen Schichten sehr erfolgversprechend ist, sollte es an Ersten Daten nun nicht fehlen.

Ich habe dafür Verständniss, dass sowas nicht von heute auf Morgen passieren kann, aber es mus jetzt angegangen werden, angesichts des Potentials von 60Mrd Barrel in Saskatchewan.

Im Bergbau gibt es übrigens folgende Wahrscheinlichkeiten:

Lagerstätte/Wikepedia
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagerstätte

Die übliche Einteilung bezeichnet die Vorräte als:

Sicher (proven): (FG: etwa 10 %; AS: > 80 %) Ausdehnung und Form der Ressource (zum Beispiel eine Erzader, oder ein Ölfeld) sind bekannt.

Wahrscheinlich (probable): (FG: etwa 20 %; AS: 60 bis 80 %) Der Umfang der Ressource ist nur lückenhaft bekannt, aber es besteht eine Verbindung zu einer sicheren Ressource.

Möglich, angedeutet (possible, indicated): (FG: etwa 40 %; AS: 40 bis 60 %) Die Ressource ist durch Aufschlüsse (meistens Probebeohrungen) in weitem Abstand bekannt, oder durch verlässliche geophysikalische Messungen erkundet.

Vermutet (inferred): (FG: etwa 60 %; AS: 20 bis 40 %) Die Ressource ist nur durch wenige Aufschlüsse erkundet, oder sein Vorhandensein wird auf Grund von Messdaten der Geophysik oder Geochemie vermutet.

Prognostisch (undiscovered). Hierbei handelt es sich um die noch unentdeckten Lagerstätten, deren Entdeckung man aber, aus Vergleichen mit der Geologie anderer, gut bekannter Gebiete, in der Zukunft erwarten kann. Die prognostischen Vorräte werden zuweilen noch in hypothetisch (AS: 10 bis 20 %) und spekulativ (AS: < 10 %) unterteilt.


Das Selbe erwarte ich nun von Oilsands Quest, lieber heute als morgen, dann wird es auch mit dem Aktienkurs wieder nach oben gehen! Hoffentlich verpasst Du nicht den Zug!

Hi Punica,

erstmal Danke für deine Einschätzung.
Um dein Beispiel von Cameco nochmal aufzugreifen, es
scheint ja etliche Parallelen zu BQI zu geben.
Wenn man sich den dortigen Kursverlauf der letzten 6 Jahre anschaut, stimmt mich das in Bezug auf BQI sehr optimistisch.
Kannst du etwas darüber sagen inwiefern die Ausgangssituation der beiden Firmen vergleichbar ist ? Hat Cameco auch als kleiner Explorer angefangen oder stand die Finanzierung dort bereits von Anfang an auf sicheren Beinen ?

Huch! Also Cameco ist so alt, als dass noch die Russen vor den Toren Berlins standen, bitte Verständniss dafür, dass ich mich nicht mehr so ganz genau daran erinnern kann, wie es damals war

Cameco ist der Platzhirsch im Uran Bereich. Die anfänglichen Explorationen und die Firmengeschichte kann sicherlich nicht auf BQI übertragen werden, wohl aber die Geschichte um Cigar lake.
Cigar lake hat einen Inground value von über 30Mrd USD und ist fantastisch gegradet mit Uran (ca 17% Urananteil im Gestein). Als die Miene letztes Jahr abgesoffen ist (sie liegt unter einem See!!), gab es umfangreiche Berichte und letztendlich einen sehr schnellen Reparationsplan, in dem die Miene in den kommenden Jahren saniert werden soll.
Langfristplanung ist eben ein wichtiger Aspekt in der Pflege von Aktionären, da kann sich Oilsands Quest mal ne Scheibe von abschneiden!

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 29.828.124 von Punicamelon am 11.06.07 19:13:49

Hi Punica,

deine Kritik an der Informationspolitik von BQI ist natürlich vollkommen berechtigt. Mich wundert ohnehin, daß die institutionellen und privaten Grossanleger nicht bereits Druck auf das Management ausüben. Schliesslich gab es ja grössere Placements bei 6$ und 5$ wenn mich mein Gedächtnis nicht täuscht. Anstelle dieser Anlager würde ich so langsam aber sicher Resultate sehen wollen die zumindest den Kursverfall stoppen.

Oilsands Quest comments on road block by aboriginal group in Saskatchewan
Anmerkung von Punicamelon: Frechheit! Was bilden die sich ein?

Calgary, Alberta -- Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI) states its position on issues
surrounding a road blockade created yesterday (June 21) by the Clearwater River Dene
Nation in northwest Saskatchewan.
"Our current operations have not been affected by the roadblock," said Christopher H.
Hopkins, President & Chief Executive Officer of Oilsands Quest. The company's base
camp and operations, which are to a great degree self-sufficient, are located about 150
kilometres from the location of the roadblock, which is on the Clearwater River Dene
Nation (CRDN).
"Due to media inquiries we have been receiving, we felt it was necessary to communicate
our response to comments made in a news release by the CRDN," said Mr. Hopkins.
"Oilsands Quest has been working closely with the communities in the northwest region,
in particular the Clearwater River Dene Nation and the town of La Loche, on training,
employment and other commercial benefits, and we will continue to do so in the future."
Working with leaders of the local communities, the company has pro-actively established
an excellent record for local employment and purchase of goods and services in northwest
Saskatchewan. In addition, Oilsands Quest has been negotiating with CRDN to formalize
an Exploration Benefits Agreement. The company is also in discussion with the mayor and
council of La Loche for a similar agreement.
"The agreements deal with jobs and contracts, and must reflect our goal that the economic
benefits of our activities should be available to all stakeholders in the region," said Mr.
Hopkins. "We respect the unique rights and interests of the CRDN and, given our good
relationship with them, thought we could come to an agreement. However, they broke off
discussions at a meeting we had with the CRDN Chief and Council in Saskatoon on
Wednesday, June 20."
According to a news release issued by the CRDN on Thursday, June 21: (quote)
"Clearwater tabled a draft agreement that included provisions which met industry
standards in relation to benefits to accrue to the First Nation. Oilsands Quest proposed an
agreement which fell short of industry standards in all respects." (end quote)
"We simply disagree," said Mr. Hopkins. "I have been involved in oil sands development
for years, and have seen many different forms of benefits arrangements. These agreements
differ depending on the project and its impact, and the particular rights and interests of the
communities concerned. There is no industry standard. Oilsands Quest tabled a draft
agreement that was fair to all stakeholders and the CRDN. In our view, the CRDN draft
did not meet that standard. It demanded that the CRDN have priority over all other First
Nations people, Métis and other residents of neighboring communities."
CUSIP# 678046 10 3

"We are disappointed that the CRDN leadership chose to abruptly suspend our
negotiations and that they have chosen to block the highway," said Mr. Hopkins. "We look
forward to resolving this issue as quickly as possible to the benefit of all parties. We are,
of course, consulting with the Province. We will continue to closely monitor the situation
and hope to see some positive action soon."
Headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Oilsands Quest Inc. (www.oilsandsquest.com) is

Oilpatch eyes neighbour
Bitumen find in Saskatchewan could spawn new industry

Claudia Cattaneo
Financial Post


Tuesday, April 17, 2007


By oil sands measures, the core sample plucked from 200 metres below a spindly Jack-pine forest last month was a beauty. Saturated with bitumen, the brownish, one-metre cut, part of a 20-metre oil sands zone, smelled like fresh asphalt. The sand was as warm and homogenous as that of a Caribbean beach.

But it was not from Alberta. The core was unearthed in northwest Saskatchewan. In fact, it was one of 174 brought to light over the past two winters by drilling crews working for Oil sands Quest Inc., a junior oil sands company that is well on its way to demonstrating that a rich sliver of the Athabasca basin, centred in the Fort McMurray area of northeast Alberta, spills over into this neighbouring province.

If its aggressive exploration program shows there's enough of the stuff to support a commercial project, Saskatchewan could be producing oil from its first multi-billion-dollar in-situ oil sands project by the middle of the next decade.

"What we see in the reservoir is uncharacteristically good," Christopher Hopkins, CEO of the startup, said during a recent tour of his company's vast leases. "It's basically as good as it gets. "Saskatchewan has been fortunate enough to have a clear glimpse of the opportunity the energy industry offers [in Alberta]. We hope we can deliver an oil sands industry to them here."

If there is one to be had, a Saskatchewan oil sands industry would ramp up about half a century behind Alberta's. But it would also do it at faster speed, benefiting from Alberta's experience and a more receptive environment -- labour here is abundant, costs are lower, the fiscal terms more competitive.

A project would elevate Oil sands Quest to the big leagues. The company is among an aggressive, new generation of oil sands startups trying to beat the challenges faced by bigger companies -- such as high costs and labour shortages -- by using new technologies, looking in new areas, watching their pennies and even embracing higher environmental standards as a way to impress investors.

Mr. Hopkins and his team of oil sands explorers first became confident that the Athabasca deposits don't stop at the provincial boundary in early January, 2006, when their first well encountered oil bearing sands near Axe Lake, about 100 kilometres northeast of Fort McMurray on the Saskatchewan side of the border.

Oil sands Quest took on the prospect for two main reasons: It was away from the highly competitive environment on the Alberta side, and there had been evidence of rich bitumen deposits, some of which could be seen lining the banks of the nearby Clearwater River.

Still, skepticism was huge; to the point even the government of Premier Lorne Calvert didn't have rules in place to deal with such an industry.

"As recently as months ago, the Saskatchewan government was saying, 'Of course we know that there is oil sands here, but it will be too shallow and too deep to mine, too thin, too this and too that'," Mr. Hopkins said.

The oil community was similarly skeptical. At a recent fundraising dinner in Calgary with a big turnout from the oil patch, the leader of the Saskatchewan Party, Brad Wall, dramatically held up a scoop of one of Oil quest?s core samples to show the deposits indeed exist in his province. "There was always the question: 'Is it really there or not? Its 2007, and so how come nobody has looked in Saskatchewan? Why didn't any of the big companies come across here yet'," said Errin Kimball, vice-president exploration at Oil sands Quest.

Mr. Kimball's exploration team was convinced the main reason the Saskatchewan oil sands hadn't been discovered was that no one had seriously looked for them.

Industry was too busy developing the deposits on the Alberta side and ignoring left-wing Saskatchewan, until recently perceived as unfriendly to oil companies.

In fact, the province, Canada's second largest oil producer, has been revamping its oil and gas regime to promote investment and now has even more favourable terms than Alberta's. Mr. Hopkins said the province has been very supportive of his company's efforts.

The Axe Lake discovery well was drilled not far from where two oil majors, Shell Canada Ltd., a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell PLC, and Gulf Canada Ltd., now a part of ConocoPhillips, found bitumen in 1974 -- and then moved on. In those days, bitumen oil sands were hardly stuff to get excited about.

Now, finding it was a big deal for Oil sands Quest. Reaction in the company's offices in Calgary and its camps in the frigid Saskatchewan wilderness ranged from elation to pride that the discovery was made in the province, in a brand new area, and that the task ahead involved not only building a company, but an industry.

"Our first hole exceeded our expectations, and it was a clearly a discovery hole," Mr. Hopkins said. "Our thinking was validated. We just continued to drill and continued to demonstrate through the drill bit that the oil is here."

The Company?s stock, heavily traded on the American Stock Exchange, shot up above US$8 last year. It has since retreated to less than US$3.50 (it closed yesterday at US$3.28, down US14?) on uncertainty about new greenhouse gas regulations, lower oil prices and tax and royalty changes. Oil sands Quest plans to list on the Toronto Stock Exchange this year.

Last year, the company kicked off one of the largest oil sands drilling programs in Western Canada. Last month, eight drilling rigs were working its leases.

It was no routine undertaking. The Axe Lake project is located about 100 kilometres northeast of Fort McMurray --close enough to see the thick columns of smoke billowing from the major oil sands projects, but so isolated it's hard to reach by motor vehicle or airplane.

The Company flies people in and out on a bush plane that lands on a frozen lake as it waits for a permit to build a permanent airstrip.

Its leases are so vast they required building and maintaining 350-kilometres of ice roads and three camps. Employees -- there are 200 on site -- travel with cigarette lighters even if they don't smoke, just in case they get lost and need to start a fire. They're expected to check in and out as they move around the project. If they don't show up when expected, a search party is mobilized. Six ambulances are always on stand-by.

Mr. Hopkins estimates running the operation costs about $150,000 to $200,000 a day.

But the area's isolation is also its advantage. The natural barriers that keep people from coming in are also keeping them from going away to lucrative jobs in Fort McMurray, leaving more available for Oil sands Quest to hire from nearby Metis and First Nations communities like La Loche.

"We are not faced with nearly the competition that you see in McMurray," said site supervisor Morris Kimball. "We are finding qualified people."

The Company buys services, food and equipment in Saskatchewan to support the local economy, while at the same time benefiting from its lower costs.

So far, the drilling program has been encouraging. At the end of last year, the company reported it found 500 million barrels of resource after drilling 24 wells into 20-metres thick geological structure stretching about 60 square kilometres. Following a 150-well drilling program this winter, that estimate was boosted to 1.5-billion barrels.

Simon Raven, chief geologist of Oil sands Quest, said the sands found so far are of excellent quality.

"The saturation of this core is excellent," he said as he inspected a specimen, laid out in a core shack near a drilling rig noisily penetrating the ground. "I suggest that the saturation is about 14% by weight. Generally, in Alberta, they are running at about 12%.

"It's all sand, no clay or shale material

in here," he said. "The sand is all the same size. It's sorted into very consistent grain size, which gives you a lot of porosity and permeability. Generally, those are the attributes we seek."

More drilling is expected this summer and next winter as the company looks for the boundaries of the deposits.

Meanwhile, Oil sands Quest has been working with the Saskatchewan government to nail down fiscal terms.

A year ago, the province announced an oil sands royalty regime that involves a 1% royalty until the project has recovered its costs, and 20% after. That's more favourable than in Alberta, where the government collects 1% through payout, then 25% and is currently holding a review to determine whether royalties should be increased.

What's still missing in Saskatchewan is a regulatory framework. Those rules are expected to be finalized shortly.

"They won't simply Xerox the Alberta regulations. I don't blame them," Mr. Hopkins said. "But because they have to develop them, it takes time."

As the rules become clearer, other oil sands explorers are expected to move into Saskatchewan.

Eventually, Oil sands Quest wants to line up a partner to help out with building a project and share costs, expected to range between $5-billion and $10- billion.

It's also pondering upgrading options in Saskatchewan, where there are upgrades in Lloydminster and Regina.

"We are knocking down the barriers one at a time," Mr. Hopkins said. "The first one was: there is no oil. That one is done. Secondly, it's to demonstrate that there are sufficient barrels here. We hope to demonstrate that with this program. And then, commerciality."

Oilsands Quest makes planned permit relinquishment,
comments on removal of road block in Saskatchewan

CALGARY, July 10 - RNewswire-FirstCall
Oilsands Quest Inc. has completed its final relinquishment of exploration permits in northwest Saskatchewan, as planned since the original granting of the permits. The company also advises that access to its facilities has returned to normal following the recent removal of a road blockade on the road to its project site.

The permit relinquishment, originally scheduled for May 3, 2006, is the second and final relinquishment required by the Province of Saskatchewan as a condition of granting the original exploration permits. Oilsands Quest had received an extension until July 9, 2007 for the relinquishment of 40 per cent of its 846,680 gross acres. The company's Saskatchewan oil sands permits (100 per cent owned) now total 508,026 acres, the largest contiguous land position in the oil sands (Permit numbers PS 00205, 00206, 00208, 00210, 00212, 00213 and 00215). A map showing the revised permit area is posted on the company's web site (http://www.oilsandsquest.com/) with this news release.

"Over the last 19 months, we have conducted a comprehensive assessment of our original permit lands in Saskatchewan," said Christopher H. Hopkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oilsands Quest. "We are confident that the lands we have retained will yield substantial bitumen resources. Now, we can concentrate fully on the exploitation of the resource potential we are identifying."

The company is awaiting regulatory approval of its applications for an extensive seismic survey program (including both 2-D and 3-D), an electrical resistance tomography (ERT) survey, and a summer drilling program based on approximately 40 exploratory test holes.

At the present time, Oilsands Quest's field activities include baseline environmental studies and ongoing site maintenance work. This work was not affected by the road blockade on Highway 955 by the Clearwater River Dene Nation.

"During the blockade, our employees from the local area were not allowed through the blockade and had to be airlifted in. They, and we, had been increasingly concerned that they were unable to get to their jobs," said Mr. Hopkins. "We appreciate the efforts of the Clearwater River Dene Nation and the Province of Saskatchewan to address the issues surrounding the blockade and are pleased that it has been removed." The blockade was established on June 21 by the Clearwater River Dene Nation to draw attention to its claims about lack of consultation; it was removed Friday, July 6.

"We will continue to consult with all First Nations people, Metis and other residents of our neighboring communities, as we have done since 2004, before we began exploration activities in Saskatchewan," said Mr. Hopkins.

Das Management meldet 10 Mrd. Barrels Erdöl gemäß eigener Schätzung


CALGARY, July 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI - News) announces management\'s estimate of resource potential of 10 billion barrels of bitumen for its contiguous oil sands exploration permits in northwest Saskatchewan and northeast Alberta. This estimate includes management\'s estimate of Original Bitumen In Place (OBIP) for the Axe Lake Discovery on its Saskatchewan permits as well as management\'s estimate of resource potential on certain portions of the remainder of its Saskatchewan permits and its adjacent Alberta permits.
Management\'s estimate of resource potential, 10 billion barrels, is based on the following evaluations:


- Axe Lake Discovery area: Management\'s estimate of OBIP for Axe Lake
is 1.4 to 1.5 billion barrels and its estimate of additional resource
potential for Axe Lake is 0.7 to 1.3 billion barrels, for a total
potential bitumen resource of 2.1 to 2.8 billion barrels. (This total
estimate has been rounded to 2.5 billion barrels for ease of
reference). The independent consultant\'s estimate of OBIP for the Axe
Lake Discovery will be completed in the fall of 2007.

- Other portions of the company\'s Saskatchewan permits: Management\'s
estimate of additional resource potential for selected areas outside
the Axe Lake Discovery area (areas to the south and northeast) is
3.0 billion barrels.

- Adjacent Alberta permits: Management\'s estimate of the resource
potential for approximately two townships of the company\'s adjacent
permits in Alberta is 4.5 billion barrels.

\"Axe Lake is proving to be suitable for in-situ recovery,\" said Christopher H. Hopkins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oilsands Quest. \"According to results of studies of the bitumen characteristics to date, we expect the high permeability and porosity characteristics will contribute to high recovery factors. As a result of the homogeneity of the sands, hot water (wet steam) recovery processes are proving to be efficient at relatively low pressure and temperatures (from 80 degrees Celsius), with yields of 54 to 83 percent under lab conditions.\"

The Axe Lake bitumen resource is characterized by thick, continuous, coarse-grained oil sands in reservoirs at depths from 185 to 205 metres. Studies to date suggest that grain size distribution of the coarse sands, which ranges from smaller particles at the top of the pay zone to larger particles at the bottom, will enhance drainage, thereby improving production and economics. The clay-rich layer overlying the reservoir is expected to provide an effective seal for anticipated recovery processes.

Today, Mr. Hopkins is addressing the TD Newcrest Oil Sands Forum, a private conference being held in Calgary, Alberta. A copy of his PowerPoint presentation summarizing the company\'s estimates of OBIP and resource potential, current information about the Axe Lake bitumen resource and an overview of Oilsands Quest\'s plans for the next 12 to 18 months will be posted on the company\'s website (www.oilsandsquest.com) later today. This presentation also includes a map relating the resource estimates to the company\'s permit areas.


Explanation of Terminology

Discovered Resources

The Axe Lake discovery is classified as a Discovered Resource. The Discovered Resources classification is in accordance with the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGEH), which is the primary reference for reporting resources under National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities promulgated by the Canadian Securities Administrators. As defined in the COGEH, \"Discovered resources are those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be remaining in, plus those quantities already produced from, known accumulations. Discovered resources are divided into economic and uneconomic categories, with the estimated future recoverable portion classified as reserves and contingent reserves, respectively.\" Discovered Resources can be further classified into four sub-categories: cumulative production; reserves; contingent resources; and unrecoverable resources. The Discovered Resources disclosed by Oilsands Quest in its OBIP estimates can not at this time be classified into one of these four sub-categories

Original Bitumen In Place

OBIP is the gross volume of bitumen estimated, at a particular time, to be initially contained in a reservoir before any volume has been produced and without regard for the extent to which volumes will be recovered. Management\'s estimate is a High Estimate (P10), based on extrapolating data to approximately 1,000 metres (3,281 feet) from the well bore. The estimate was made in accordance with the COGEH. The commercial viability of the bitumen resource, or whether currently commercial recovery processes will be applicable, cannot be determined without further drilling, testing and analysis. The area of the OBIP estimate within the Axe Lake Discovery covers approximately 36 sections (one township) of Permits PS00208 and PS00210 (100% Oilsands Quest) located in the north half of Township 94 and the south half of Township 95, Ranges 24 and 25 West of the Third Meridian. It is approximately 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Suncor\'s Firebag operations.

Resource Potential

Management\'s estimate of Resource Potential is based on the definition of Undiscovered Resources, which is a recognized category in the COGEH. As defined in the COGEH, \"Undiscovered resources are those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered.\" Management\'s assessment of resource potential is based on observations of resource extensions from the Axe Lake Discovery drill holes adjacent to and those on the lands assessed and on seismic surveys completed to date. There is no certainty that any portion of the resource potential will be discovered and, if discovered, it may not be economically viable or technically feasible to produce. This assessment of resource potential does not constitute an OBIP estimate. Further drilling and analysis is required to develop an OBIP estimate for these permit lands. The COGEH can be obtained online (www.petsoc.org).

Forward-Looking Information

Except for statements of historical fact relating to the company, this news release contains certain \"forward-looking information\" within the meaning of applicable securities law. Forward-looking information is frequently characterized by words such as \"plan\", \"expect\", \"project\", \"intend\", \"believe\", \"anticipate\", \"estimate\", \"potential\", \"prospective\" and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions \"may\" \"will\" or \"could\" occur. Forward-looking statements such as the estimate of OBIP and the estimate of resource potential, references to Oilsands Quest Inc.\'s drilling program, geophysical programs, testing and analysis programs and timing of such programs are based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to risks inherent in the oil sands industry, regulatory and economic risks, and risks associated with the company\'s ability to implement its business plan. There are uncertainties inherent in forward-looking information, including factors beyond Oilsands Quest Inc.\'s control, and no assurance can be given that the programs will be completed on time, on budget or at all. In addition, there are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating OBIP, including many factors beyond the companies\' control, and no assurance can be given that the indicated level of OBIP or the recovery thereof will be realized. In general, estimates of OBIP and resource potential are based upon a number of factors and assumptions made as of the date on which the estimates were determined, such as geological, technological and engineering estimates which have inherent uncertainties. The estimates of OBIP and resource potential are the opinion of management of Oilsands Quest and are not supported by an independent evaluation report at this time. The OBIP estimate for the lands described in this news release may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of OBIP for Oilsands Quest\'s total permit lands, due to the effects of aggregation. Oilsands Quest Inc. undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking information if circumstances or management\'s estimates or opinions should change, except as required by law. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties set forth above are not exhaustive. Readers should refer to Oilsands Quest\'s current annual report on Form 10KSB and other document filings, which are available at www.sedar.com and at www.sec.gov for a detailed discussion of these risks and uncertainties and details regarding the location and extent of the Oilsands Quest permit lands.

10 Mrd Barrel ist aber auch ein guter Schluck aus der Pulle!!!

[Punicamelon]

Die News von heute ist wirklich SUPER und Allererste Sahne!!!!
Die Umsätze am heutigen Tage entsprechen stückzahlenmäßig den 2.Höchsten Umsätzen der gesamten Unternehmensgeschichte.

Das Managment unter Führung von C.Hopkins hat sich scheinbar alle guten Nachrichten aufbewahrt, um sie gebündelt zu präsentieren. Ich persönlich hätte diese Nachrichten stückweise präsentiert, um einen möglichst hohen, langfristigen Börsenkurs zu erreichen, damit Kapitalerhöhungen nicht zu sehr den Börsenkurs verwässern, das war und ist meine Kritik Richtung Managment.

Aber nun gut, 10Milliarden möglicher Ölsande ist wahrlich ein grosser Fortschritt, 4,5Milliarden in Alberta überraschen mich aber doch ziemlich, da die Meisten Gebiete ja auf Saskatchewans Boden liegen.

Mit dieser Nachricht sollte und wird Oilsands Quest in Nächster Zeit einer deutlichen Neubewertung unterliegen, alleine das Axe lake Projekt hätte bei Spinn-Off oder kompletten Verkauf sicherlich einen Börsenwert von mindestens 1,8Milliarden USD, die gesamte Marktcap von Oilsands Quest dümpelt gerade mal bei ca lächerlichen 550Mio Euro (fully diluted) rum.
Auf Jahressicht sehe ich minimum ein Andocken in den 5,30iger Wiederstands-Bereich, daher habe ich heute auch nachgekauft!

[Lucullus1970]

Hab gestern noch zu 2,97 in Amiland eingekauft! Mal sehen wie es Ende des Jahres aussieht. Cash sollte bis dahin auch ausreichen und wenn man sich mal anschaut wer da so zu den Hauptaktionären gehört (Management 19%, Deutsche Bank und Goldmann Sachs) dann könnte das auf dem aktuellen Niveau eine gute Investition sein!

Übrigens haben Insider im März noch zu 4.82USD nachgekauft!

Das war doch nur PR, um das Placement voll zu kriegen und den anderen Investoren ein gutes Beispiel zu geben!
Aber egal, 10 Mrd. Barrel sind 10 Mrd. Barrel...


@ Puni
da die Meisten Gebiete ja auf Saskatchewans Boden liegen
Die Exploration geht ja noch weiter! IMO sind die 40-60 Mrd. Barrel am Ende der Exploration auf allen Assets zusammen damit wahrscheinlicher geworden!

[Lucullus1970]

Dann brauchen wir ja nur noch zu hoffen, das der worst case eintrifft und die nächste Ölkrise mit Preisen über 100USD/Barrel nicht mehr lange auf sich warten läßt!

Spaß beiseite: Wann rechnet BQI eigentlich mit Produktionsbeginn? Ich hab was gelesen von innerhalb der nächsten 5 Jahre. Stimmt das???

Aber bei den Ressourcen gibt es vielleicht vorher eine schöne Übernahme, wer weiß???

Hopkins selbst hat in dem Video (http://www.oilsandsquest.com/video/cwpc_video_002.html) 7-10 Jahre Zeithorizont für eine kommerzielle Produktion in Aussicht gestellt.

Sicherlich ein Langzeitinvestment, aber bei CNQ gab es die größten Gewinn nicht im Jahr der Prodaufnahme, sondern in den Jahren zuvor. Börse nimmt eine Entwicklung stets vorweg!

Das einzige was wir hier bruchen ist Geduld und hohe oder leicht steigende Ölpreise, die Fundamentals der Assets sind jedenfalls bestens!

jetzt endlich

Was heisst denn jetzt endlich? Du hast profimässig auf den richtigen Zeitpunkt gewartet, nämlich bei übergeordnet stark fallenden Kursen zugegriffen, bei gleichzeitigen bestätigenden galaktischen Nachrichten.
Meiner Ansicht nach, sollte Oilsands Quest bis Jahresende sogar gegen den saisonalen Trend deutlich outperformen.
Mann sollte sich alleine vor Augen halten, dass das Kleinste der 3 aktuellen Projekte (Axe Lake), bei Verkauf locker mal 2Mrd Dollar Cash in die Kasse spülen würde und sich der Aktienkurs dadurch alleine schon ver4-fachen würde.
Von den restlichen 75% der 10Mrd Barrel ganz zu schweigen
Wie man es dreht und wendet, Oilsands Quest müsste jetzt vor einer deutlichen längerfristigen Neubewertung stehen, der Kurs am Freitag hat mich schon wieder gewundert, ich dachte eigendlich, dass wir bis Monatsende nicht mehr einen Tag unter +10% Kursgewinne abschliessen

[Punicamelon]

Sehr schöne hohe Umsätze heute an der Amex Fast 6Mio Stck und es ist noch eine Handelsstunde übrig. Das lässt auf eine nachhaltige Trendwende nach oben in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten hoffen!

[Steigerwälder]

Servus Fans,

ch dachte eigendlich, dass wir bis Monatsende nicht mehr einen Tag unter +10% Kursgewinne abschliessen

...solage der letzte Freitag der einzige Ausrutscher mit unter 10% ist werde ich mich nicht mehr beschweren.

Wir werden sicherlich noch Gewinnmitnahmen sehen, aber bei den hohen Umsätzen und den super News dürfte es erst mal aufwärts gehen!

Dann wollen wir die Gewinne mal nach oben laufen lassen!

Hallo Happy,
natürlich habe ich gekauft, allerdings nicht zu dem von mir gedachten Kurs, da mein Limit tagelang nicht aufging. Als ich merkte, daß die Post abgeht, habe ich das Limit rausgetan und bin zu 2,25€ zum Zug gekommen. Das ist angesichts des möglichen Kurspotentials kein Drama.

Da das Öl wohl erst etwa 2017 fliessen wird, werden wir in den nächsten 10 Jahren noch einiges an Volatilität erleben, aber der Endstand wird uns vermutlich die Freudentränen in die Augen treiben.

Kurzfristig dürfte es jetzt erst einmal aufwärts gehen, aber bis Produktionsbeginn kann noch viel passieren.

Vor allem wird bis dahin wohl noch jede Menge Cash benötigt werden und das bedeutet meistens Dilution.

Momentan sieht es noch ganz gut aus. Ich finde aber, das der Wert Intraday ganz schön volatil gewesen ist die letzten Tage.
Mal sehen ob wir heute den Aufwärtstrend fortsetzen oder uns noch eine Verschnaufspause gönnen?

[Punicamelon]

Endlich ist die dämliche 200er Tageslinie durchbrochen! Rein charttechnisch müssten wir in Kürze locker weitere +10 oder +20% nach oben laufen. Die Umsätze sind bombastisch!!!!!

Hallo zusammen,
ich bin schon seit September 2006 investiert. Hab alle Höhen und Tiefen miterlebt. Ich bin der Überzeugung, daß zumindest ein Teil der Reserven verkauft wird.
Wenn dem so wäre, kann sich jeder selbst das Potential für die nächsten Jahre ausrechnen.

@All hier: Zieht Euch das mal rein!!!

http://energy.seekingalpha.com/article/41044

Im September/Oktober soll ein unabhängiges Gutachten über die Ressourcen veröffentlicht werden. Basierend auf den aktuellen Zahlen hält der Autor Kurse von 15-25.- USD für möglich.

Laut des Artikels könnte ein eventuelles Übernahmeangebot im Bereich von 26.-USD liegen.

Wollen mal hoffen, das er Recht behält!

[Schandmaul]

Schuster bleib bei deinen Rappen!
Ich bin auch der Meinung, daß BQI sich weiterhin auf die Exploration konzentrieren und die Assets an den meist bietenden Verkaufen sollte!
Die Produktion beherrschen andere besser.

Andererseits sollte es bzgl. der Finanzierung nun keine wirklichen Risiken mehr geben! Der Verkauf eines kleinen 2MRD BRL Assets würde genug Kapital in die Kassen spülen um die Produktion eines der anderen Gebiete ein riesiges Stück nach vorne zu bringen.

Insgeheim hoffe ich aber, daß ein großer Investor ein gutes Angebot machen und BQI schlucken wird sobald die Reserven als "proven" gelten.
Andererseits könnte es aber auch nützlich sein, wenn dies erst in 12-24 Monaten passiert und man weitere Gebiete exploriert und den known Reserves hinzugefügt hat.

Es bleibt jedenfalls spannend und ich wünsche mir und allen Investierten weiterhin stark steigende Kurse!

Grüsse

Boa! Schon wieder 4,6Mio Aktien an der Amex gehandelt. Damit sind in den vergangenen 9 Handelstagen satte 54Mio Oilsands Quest Aktien gehandelt worden, welches fast ein/Viertel aller fully diluted Aktien entspricht, das ist wahrlich eine Menge.
Ich bin mal gespannt, wie sich das die nächsten Tagen entwickelt, eigendlich müsste der Weg nach oben sowohl fundamental, wie auch charttechnisch klar frei sein, zumindestens bis 5Dollar, dann sehen wir weiter,

Short-Squeeze bei BQI? Das wäre eine Sensation!

Oilsands Quest: Anatomy of a Potential Short Squeeze
Posted on Jul 25th, 2007 with stocks: BQI

Seymour Prophet submits: As of mid-July, Oilsands Quest’s (BQI) short interest has increased to the highest it has been in recent history. Specifically, BQI’s short interest has increased by 133% to 12.4 million shares from 5.3 million shares at mid-June.

Undoubtedly, some of the investors shorting the stock were betting against the prospects of a bullish management update of the company's resource estimate and resource commerciality in July (when the company was widely expected to provide the update).

In particular, Bears on BQI were betting that the lack of shale cap rock on its acreage would preclude its bitumen resources from being recovered via in-situ processes since there wouldn’t be a barrier to contain the high pressure steam from some in-situ recovery processes.

http://seekingalpha.com/wp-content/seekingalpha/images/bqian…

http://seekingalpha.com/wp-content/seekingalpha/images/bqian…

That said, on July 12th, BQI management came out with a resource estimate of 10 billion barrels, a better-than-expected number. Perhaps more importantly, management stated that…

The Axe Lake bitumen resource is characterized by thick, continuous, coarse-grained oil sands in reservoirs at depths from 185 to 205 metres. Studies to date suggest that grain size distribution of the coarse sands, which ranges from smaller particles at the top of the pay zone to larger particles at the bottom, will enhance drainage, thereby improving production and economics. The clay-rich layer overlying the reservoir is expected to provide an effective seal for anticipated recovery processes.

The fact that management believes that its Axe Lake project is suitable for in-situ recovery was a monumental statement. Moreover, BQI’s studies showed recoverability rates of 54% to 83% (for an average of 69%), much higher than the industry average of about 40%. Those two pieces of information sent BQI shares soaring by about 25% to end the day at the highest level the stock has been since around March 2007.

What’s interesting is that one might expect some significant short covering to occur (and the short interest to decline) by mid-July, given management’s July 12th statements which have contradicted the key short-investment thesis point. However, the opposite occurred. In mid-July, BQI’s short interest soared to its high. As of mid-July, BQI’s short interest equated to about 8% of the company’s total shares outstanding of about 158.6 million shares.

Of note, anyone who shorted BQI from about mid-February (as indicated by the dotted red vertical line) and who did not cover his/her short position would be losing money (and possible significantly so) since the stock’s recent price of $4.00 (as indicated by the black dashed line) was higher than anytime since mid-February.

That leads me to my current hypothesis that the spike in the short interest through mid-July is attributable to prior Shorters increasing (and possibly doubling-down) on their short positions to recoup their losses. In other words, the recent build in the short interest is due to loss aversion psychology rather than sound fundamental shorting rationale. It’s the same mentality that prompts a losing blackjack player at a casino to continue to reach into his wallet in an attempt to leave the table “even”. In my mind, that would be the most likely explanation as new Shorts would probably not put on their short positions immediately after a bullish press release from the company’s management.

What makes the situation that much more interesting is the fact that BQI management plans another resource update around the September-October timeframe. Especially notable is the fact that this update will contain the opinion of a 3rd party oilsands assessor, which will likely confirm management’s internal resource estimate and the commerciality of its acreage. That should open BQI’s management to the next step in its plan for the company; the establishing of a joint venture with a deep-pocketed, Big Oil partner who would provide the bulk of the financing for developing BQI's oilsands resource.

A sale of part of a project would immediately make transparent the value of the bitumen on BQI’s property. For example, if a Big Oil company came and bid $5 billion for 60% of the company’s 7 billion of recoverable resource (equaling an estimated 10 billion barrels of resource x 70% recoverability), that would imply that the entire 7 billion barrels is worth $8.33 billion. On a fully-diluted per share basis (assuming 250 million fully-diluted shares), that would imply that each share of BQI is worth $33.33 (=$8.33 billion value / 250 million shares). I would think that an explicit valuation of the company would, at the least, cause the stock price to approach that valuation relatively rapidly as do most similar joint venture announcements. Of course, those are just hypothetical numbers.

From the two most recent Seeking Alpha articles on BQI’s valuation, “Oilsands Quest Inc.: Undervalued Canadian Oilsands Play” and “Three More Compelling Reasons To Like Oilsands Quest”, it appears some investors believe the stock is worth between $18 and $26 per share. Using the mid-point of those two estimates, I arrive at a valuation of $22 per share, or about 424% higher than the current price of $4.20 per share.

I believe that, upon the company’s September-October update, BQI’s stock will be propelled upwards towards $22 per share as investors speculate on the potential economics of a joint venture with a Big Oil company. I’m sure many of today’s current Shorters are cognizant of BQI’s potential upside and are well aware of the timing of the September-October update and the potential repercussions of a very bullish update. That, coupled with the fact that the current short position is large ( 12.4mm shares and 8% of the float) and likely predicated on loss aversion psychology rather than fundamental issues with Oilsands Quest, should prompt a short squeeze over the next couple months before the September-October update. And that is my take of the anatomy of a BQI short squeeze.

Let 'em burn...!

[Lucullus1970]

Naja, mit dem Mega Short-Squeeze rechne ich eigentlich nicht, aber ich denke schon das uns alleine die 10 Milliarden Barrel Schätzung über 7.-USD innerhalb der nächsten 6 Wochen bringen könnten.

Irgendwo hab ich gelesen, das die tatsächlichen Vorkommen bis zu 60 Milliarden Barrel betragen könnten. Im September/Oktober soll wohl eine unabhängige Ressourcenschätzung rauskommen. Wenn diese zu einer wesentlich höheren Einschätzung kommen und sich Oilsand Quest als Tiefstapler herausstellen sollte, dann dürften nach oben alle bisherigen Widerstände gebrochen werden.

Das Ding bleibt auf jeden Fall super interessant! Wollen hoffen, das der aktuelle Lauf trotz des schwächelnden Gesamtmarkts weiter anhält.

Irgendwo hab ich gelesen, das die tatsächlichen Vorkommen bis zu 60 Milliarden Barrel betragen könnten.
In den Bullboards wurden die Vorkommen (Sättigung, Bitumen by Weight, Recovery Rate, Grösse der Vorkommen und Wahrscheinlichkeit) mal verschiedentlich durchgerechnet.
Das Resultat kam immer auf 20-60 Mrd. Barrel!!!

Und die 10 Mrd. Barrel sind ja auch nur die erste Schätzung, IMO werden wir am Ende irgendwo in der Mitte so bei 30 Mrd. landen, fairer Preis wäre dann so im Breich der 20 Dollar ++

[Kostolany4]

Da das Management sich massenweise Optionen genehmigt hat, sollte man nicht jedes Wort auf die Goldwaage legen, was von dieser Seite kommt (oder gestreut wird).

Dem Management kann also durchaus daran gelegen sein, Ressourcenschätzungen zu frisieren oder Risiken zu verschweigen. Das Risiko, Ölschiefer in tieferen Erdschichten profitabel zu verarbeiten, sehe ich als durchaus immens an, weil es dafür eigentlich noch keine Technologie gibt. Das wäre zu heutigen Ölpreisen sicherlich noch nicht profitabel. Weiterhin ist das BQI gehörende Gebiet in Saskatchewan völlig unerschlossen und allein eine breite Straßenverbindung für die ganzen Gerätschaften wird Unsummen verschlingen.

Allerdings sieht die Sache bei einem stark steigenden Ölpreis wesentlich freundlicher aus. Der Hebel auf den Ölpreis ist daher bei BQI noch wesentlich höher als beispielsweise bei CNQ, UTS, Husky und Imperial Oil.

Was mich etwas misstrauisch stimmt, ist die Ad-Hoc-eritis von BQI, die fast an Zeiten des Neuen Markts erinnert, wo schon der Kauf eines neuen Kopierers per ad hoc gemeldet wurde.

Auch werde ich etwas nachdenklich, wenn ich mir das jüngste Boardmitglied, Pamela Wallin, anschaue: eine gelernte Journalistin mit Universitätskarriere, zahlreichen Auszeichnungen und guten Beziehungen zum Fernsehen.

Da hast Du aber sicher eine Null vergessen und meintest sicherlich 200Dollar für den fairen Wert bei 30Mrd Barrel.

Gut gesättigte Ölsandreserven werden mit 1-1,5Dollar pro Barrel bewertet bzw gehandelt, dementsprechend wäre die Marktcap bei 30Mrd Barrel etwa 30-40Mrd USD, was ein Kursziel von 194Dollar entspricht.

Ich wäre mit 50-80Dollar auch schon zufrieden

[Dirkix]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 30.938.050 von Punicamelon am 30.07.07 16:05:03

was ein Kursziel von 194Dollar entspricht.
Das kann man natürlich in und herrechnen, aber die 20 ++ Dollar halte ich mittelfristig für realistisch
(denn langfristig sind wir leider alle tod )!

Das Problem ist doch, wir haben vier Unbekannte:
1.) Reserven: 10 Mrd. Barrel, oder 20 Mrd. Barrel oder auch 60 Mrd.!
2.) Reservenbewertung, da ist zwischen einem und drei Dollar je Barrel alles möglich!
3.) Aktienzahl in der Zukunft (250 bis 500 Mio.)
4.) Finanzierung (Verwässerung, Verkauf, Verschuldung);


Kann ja jeder selbst mal durchkauen, die Fakten:
- aktuell Fully diluted: 250.3 million shares
- 10 Mrd. Barrel aktuell, evtl. Steigerung auf 30 Mrd. Barrel;

Ich würde fiktiv mal von eine Verdoppelung der Aktienanzahl ausgehen, wg. riesigem Kapitalbedarf;
wahlweise kann man auch von einem Verkauf von Assets oder einer Kreditfinanzierung ausgehen, aber die Wirkung auf den share price dürfte so oder so bestehen bleiben, dann im ersten Fall sinken die Reserven und im zweiten müssen die Gläubiger bedient werden!

30 Mrd. Barrel x 1 Dollar/Barrel = 30 Mrd. Dollar
30 Mrd. / 500 Mio. Aktien = 60 Dollar SP (später, bei konkreter Aussicht auf Produktion!)

Schöner wäre natürlich:
30 x 2,25 (Synenco) = 67,5 Mrd. Dollar
67,5 / 250 Mio Aktien = 250 Dollar SP

Tja, diese ewigen Rechnungen mit 1-2Dollar Ölsand. Ich glaube tatsächlich Wirklichkeit werden die nur, wenn ein Teilverkauf/oder Komplettverkauf der Assets vorgenommen werden würde, ansonsten sind die Ölsande ein ewiger zinsloser Wert im Boden, bei dem nur das langfristige abbaufähige KGV zählt, so ist jedenfalls die Aktien Realität.
Was den langfristigen Aktienkurs angeht, wäre CNQ sicherlich ein Vergleich wert. Ebenfalls mit ca 10Mrd Barrel Ölsande ausgestattet, kommen die bis 2018 auf 12Mrd USD Reingewinn pro Jahr, was dementsprechend bei Öl-üblichen KGVs von 10 etwa 87Mrd Euro Marktcap entsprechen würde.
CNQ hat allerdings den Vorteil, über viele Jahre CashFlow aus dem Gasverkauf zu erwirtschaften, dementsprechend sind die finanziell besser ausgestattet.

Bei Oilsands Quest erhoffe ich mir realistisch, dass sie langfristig 10Mrd Barrel verkaufen, um ihre Ölsandindustrie zu finanzieren und mit den restlichen (hoffentlich vorhandenen) 20Mrd Barrel eine eigene Industrie aufbauen und 500.000Barrel Förderung anstreben.
Dementsprechend wäre das Kursziel langfristig das 120fache bzw bei doppelten Ölpreisen sogar das 240fache, nämlich Kursziel Tausend Dollar.

Eine Microsoft und Nokia würden wir damit locker schlagen, denn die beiden hatten vom Tiefst- bis Höchstpreis nur 65.000%

Buddelei in der Sandkiste
Teuer und doch lukrativ

Kanada ist reich an Ahornsirup, reich an Wald und reich an Fisch. Außerdem – und das ist weniger bekannt – ist Kanada reich an Ölsand. Seit einigen Jahren, seitdem die Energiepreise steigen und mit ihnen der Ölpreis, scheint dieser Reichtum von beinahe unschätzbarem Wert. Denn jetzt lohnt es sich offenbar, den Ölsand auszupressen – im großen Stil.

Hilft bei undichten Kanus

Ölsande sind natürlich vorkommende Gemische aus Ton, Sand, Wasser und Kohlenwasserstoffen. Letztere sind als teer- bzw. pechähnliche Masse, dem Bitumen, im Ölsand enthalten. Bei Raumtemperatur ist Bitumen so zähflüssig, dick und klebrig wie etwa kalter Sirup. Indianer benutzten es daher zum Abdichten ihrer Kanus. Heute wird aus Bitumen synthetisches Rohöl hergestellt.

Unter natürlichen Lagerstättenbedingungen ist Bitumen nicht fließfähig. Um in einer Bohrung bzw. durch eine Pipeline fließen zu können, muss es erhitzt oder verdünnt werden. Deshalb wird beim Abbau von Ölsand Wasserdampf in die Lagerstätte eingeleitet. So werden die Kohlenwasserstoffe verflüssigt.

Oberflächennah, von weniger als 75 Metern Sediment bedeckt, können Ölsande im Tagebau abgebaut werden. Das so gewonnene Bitumen muss vom Sand getrennt werden, was in einem Silo geschieht. Dort wird die Mixtur aus Wasser und Ölsand gelagert und mit Trennungsmitteln versetzt. Der schwere Sand sinkt nach unten, während sich der Bitumenschaum oben sammelt.

Dann wird das Bitumen zu synthetischem Rohöl umgewandelt. Dafür sind hohe Temperaturen notwendig sowie die Zugabe von Katalysatoren und Wasserstoff. Schwefel und andere unerwünschte Bestandteile werden entfernt.


Die kanadischen Ölsandgebiete liegen in den Bezirken Athabasca, Peace River und Cold Lake, hier orange markiert.

[und an der Grenze zu Saskatchewan hören Sie ja bekanntermaßen schlagartig auf]

Lagerstätten von Ölsand gibt es auf der ganzen Erde. Die Ölsandgebiete in der kanadischen Provinz Alberta sind bislang die größten Vorkommen überhaupt. Sie umfassen eine Fläche von etwa 140.000 Quadratkilometern und sind damit so groß wie Bayern, Baden-Württemberg, Hessen und Thüringen zusammen. Rund 1,7 Billionen Barrel Öl (ein Barrel entspricht 159 Litern) sollen aus den kanadischen Ölsand-Vorkommen gewonnen werden können. Davon gelten 174 Milliarden Barrel als wirtschaftlich abbaubar. Kanada verfügt damit über die zweitgrößten erschließbaren Ölreserven der Welt. Nur Saudi-Arabien kann mit mehr aufwarten, nämlich mit rund 260 Milliarden Barrel. Kanadas Ressourcen sind so groß, dass sie rund 100 Jahre zur Verfügung stehen. Im Schnitt kann aus zwei Tonnen Ölsand ein Barrel Rohöl gewonnen werden.


Dieser Hydraulikbagger wurde von einer Dortmunder Firma für den Tagebau von Ölsand konzipiert. Er hat eine 42 Kubikmeter große Schaufel und wiegt 800 Tonnen. Der kleine Bagger im Vordergrund wiegt nur rund ein Fünfhundertstel davon



Tägliche Ausbeute: 1,1 Millionen Barrel

Zurzeit produzieren internationale Konzerne an mehr als 20 Stellen in Alberta Öl. Sie pressen täglich 1,1 Million Barrel aus dem Sand, bis 2020 soll die tägliche Ausbeute fast vervierfacht werden. Zum Vergleich: Weltweit lag die tägliche Förderung im Jahr 2005 bei 83,3 Millionen Barrel.

Die Ölsandnutzung in Alberta begann bereits 1967, aber erst in den 90er Jahren begann der Boom. Von 1996 bis 2003 investierten die Mineralölkonzerne 18 Milliarden Euro in die kanadische Ölsand-Förderung, bis 2013 sind weitere 40 Milliarden eingeplant. Ende Juli gab der Energiekonzern Shell bekannt, eine Anlage zur Ölsand-Verarbeitung im Volumen von etwa 25 Milliarden US-Dollar (rund 18,2 Milliarden Euro) in Alberta errichten zu wollen.

Lukrativ trotz hoher Kosten

Die Produktionskosten pro Barrel lagen 2003 bei sieben bis neun Euro pro Barrel, 2005 waren es immer noch weniger als 15 Euro. Der Abbau der oberflächennahen Ölsandvorräte ist wirtschaftlich günstiger. Schwere Bagger und Lastwagen können mit einer Fuhre bis zu 400 Tonnen Ölsand transportieren. Für die Produktion in tieferen Schichten, die mittlerweile notwendig geworden ist, sind teurere technische Verfahren notwendig. Auch der Energieverbrauch steigt. Dennoch wird die Rohöl-Gewinnung aus Ölsand vor dem Hintergrund der Kostenexplosion bei Erdöl immer lukrativer.

Umweltschützer sind alarmiert


er neue Goldrausch hat aber eine dunkle Seite: Von Naturschützern wird der Abbau von Ölsand in Alberta stark kritisiert. Er zerstört Wald, Moore, Flüsse und ganze Landschaften. Außerdem ist die Ölsandindustrie der größte Treibhausgasemittent Kanadas. Sie stößt drei- bis fünfmal mehr CO2 in die Luft als die konventionelle Erdölförderung. Für jedes produzierte Barrel synthetischen Öls werden mehr als 80 Kilogramm Treibhausgase in die Atmosphäre freigegeben.

Hinzu kommt, dass die Rohöl-Gewinnung aus Ölsand viel mehr Energie verbraucht als die Förderung aus herkömmlichen Lagerstätten. Das liegt an dem Wasserdampf, der erzeugt werden muss, um Bitumen zu verflüssigen. Als Brennstoff wird hier vorwiegend Erdgas eingesetzt. Nach einer US-Studie verbraucht die Ölsandindustrie in Kanada täglich so viel Erdgas wie für die Beheizung von vier Millionen US-Haushalten nötig ist. Um die Gas-Reserven zu schonen, steigen die Ölproduzenten teilweise auf die reichlich vorhandene Steinkohle als Brennstoff um. Das wiederum trägt zu einem noch höheren CO2-Ausstoß bei.

So oder so verbraucht das Verfahren große Mengen an Wasser. Um ein Barrel Öl zu gewinnen, sind laut WWF zwei bis viereinhalb Barrel Wasser aus dem Athabasca-Fluss erforderlich. 90 Prozent des Wassers werden recycelt, dennoch droht der Wasserspiegel des Flusses stark zu sinken. Die Wasserentsorgung und mögliche unterirdische Umweltschäden stellen weitere Probleme bei der Rohöl-Gewinnung aus Ölsand dar.

Kyoto-Ziele nicht einzuhalten

Die Ausweitung der Ölsand-Industrie trug maßgeblich dazu bei, dass Kanada das Kyoto-Ziel als unrealistisch aufgegeben hat. Eine Studie, die das britische Tyndall-Zentrum im Auftrag des WWF erstellt hat, zeigt, dass sich die Emissionen aus der Ölsand-Förderung bis 2012 verdoppeln werden und das, obwohl sie doch halbiert werden müssten. Als Kanada 2002 das Kyoto-Protokoll ratifizierte, erklärte es, die Treibhausgasemissionen vor 2012 um sechs Prozent zu verringern. Doch im gleichen Jahr nahm die CO2-Emission Kanadas erst einmal um 24 Prozent zu. Umweltschützer fordern einen vorläufigen Ausbaustopp für die Ölsandindustrie. Sie verlangen Strategien zur Senkung der CO2-Emission. Doch die Provinz Alberta setzt auf Expansion und baut dabei weiterhin auf Sand.

Hatte CNQ nicht den Plan, ein eigenes KKW zu bauen um die Energieversogung in den Region sicher zu stellen? Dann könnte man die entstehende Abwärme (Wasserdampf) zu Gewinnung von Öl nutzen, anstatt Erdgas, und das an die Amis verscherbeln, sollen die doch ihre CO2 Bilanz verschlechtern...

Der Aktienkurs von Oilsands Quest ist momentan eine wahre Wonne. Seit nunmehr fast 4Wochen haben wir täglich grosse Umsätze. In den letzten 19Handelstagen wurden nicht weniger als 90,7Mio Stck Oilsand Quest Aktien gehandelt, was satte 36% aller outstanding Aktien (incl fully diluted) entspricht.

Oilsand Quest steht vor einer völligen Neubewertung, wenn sich bestätigt, dass bis jetzt schon 10Mrd Barrel Ölsande vom Managment und seinem Team gefunden wurden, von denen das Meiste gut gegradet sein dürfte.

Ich empfehle, bei dieser Top Storry, unbedingt dabei zu bleiben, denn schon im Herbst werden neue Ressourcen Updates erwartet, die signifikante Auswirkungen auf den Aktienkurs haben können.

Oilsand Quest hat allerdings auch Einiges aufzuholen, der Zielbereich sollte zunächst erst mal 5-5,50USD sein, danach sind schnelle 10-15Dollar möglich bei entsprechender Nachrichtenlage,

Unglaublich aber wahr, wie schnell das immer an der Börse geht! Vor 4Wochen waren wir noch bei halben Preisen im Jammertal der Tränen und nun stehen wir vor Bruch der mittelfristigen Wiederstände, die im Bereich 5-6,30USD liegen müssten.

Die Umsätze sind nach wie vor bei steigenden Kursen GIGANTISCH, alleine in der ersten Halben Handels-Stunde wurden in Toronto über eine Million shares gehandelt.

Oilsands Quest steht kurz- und langfristig vor einer Völligen Neubewertung. Mich würden sogar Kurse von 10 oder 20Euro bis Ende des Jahres nicht wundern, obwohl es sogar gegen den Öl Trend wäre, nämlich gegen saisonaler Entspannung.

-20% seit dem gestrigen Hoch ist wahrlich Nichts für schwache Nerven ,aber dies sind wir von Oilsands Quest schon lange gewohnt.

Der Abprall erfolgte gestern exakt am 5,50iger USD Wiederstand, bei sehr saftigen Umsätzen von 7,9Mio Stck an der Amex. Das Abkleckern bei nur 3,7Mio Stck Tagesumsatz ist halb so schlimm, viel wichtiger ist der Ausblick, ob es Oilsands Quest endlich schafft, Reserven nachweisbar zu machen und diese in einer präsentierbare Wahrscheinlichkeit einzufügen.

Allgemein fällt mir stark auf, dass die bedeutenden Öl Aktien Statoil, CNQ &Co unheimlich stabil sind, trotz dem Rohstoff Crash auf weiter Flur, trotz stark fallendem Ölpreis und trotz drohendem Konjunkturabschwung durch die Immobilien Krise.

Die Investoren haben sich in den letzten 1-2Jahren über PeakOil schlau gemacht und sind in die Erkenntniss gelangt, dass Öl wohlmöglich Niemals mehr längerfristig billig wird, dies ist sehr positiv zu werten.

Ist hier vielleicht ein Aufkäufer aus Arabien oder Asien am Werk!?

Das ist natürlich gut möglich, nach meinen Enteignungs-Desastern von Wolfden und Uramin wundert mich fast Gar Nichts mehr.

Seit der Veröffentlichung der 10Mio Barrel Ölsande von vor ca 4Wochen wurden satte 132Mio Stck Oilsands Quest Aktien an der Amex gehandelt, das ist mehr als die Hälfte aller fully diluted shares, bzw ein Schnitt von ca 6Mio Aktien pro Tag ,normal ist das absolut nicht, wir hatten deutlich erhöhte Umsätze.

Das Problem ist, dass im Ölsand Bussiness so wahnsinnig hohe Summen im Spiel sind. Die Gebiete sind meiner Ansicht nach einen Zwei-stelligen Milliardenbetrag wert, während Oilsands Quest in der Marktcap gerade mal zu 5-10% eingepreist ist und dies wohlgemerkt ohne weitere Explorationsfantasie. Klar werden da auch andere Firmen drauf geiern!

Eine Ölsandindustrie, wie nach Vorbild CNQ oder wie es Shell bis 2012 beabsichtigt, würde jedoch 20-25Milliarden Dollar verschlingen.

Die momentanen Zocker sind einfach noch nicht zahlreich vorhanden. Wenn die Aktie steigt, nimmt Zocker A schon wieder Gewinne mit, wenn Zocker B einsteigt, ein Nullsummenspiel.

Der Zocker will schnelles Geld und das Spekulationskapital an den Weltbörsen ist verhältnissmäßig begrenzt.

Der Anstieg in den letzten Wochen hat Spass gemacht und die 5,50USD wurde exakt getroffen, seitdem haben wir einen deutlichen Knick.
Der weitere Verlauf der Aktie ist nun wieder mal von fundamentaler Nachrichtenlage und der Gier nach einer schnellen Storry bestimmt. Wenn nicht schnell was passiert, wird Oilsands Quest wieder abkleckern, zumal der Ölpreis saisonal weiter vor fallenden Kursen steht.

Bei Überwinden der 5,50iger sehe ich gute Vorraussetzungen für einen weiteren schnellen Anstieg, sogar für Neue Allzeithochs oder sogar darüber, ich bin mal gespannt, was passiert, hoffentlich steuern wir bald auf weitere Resourcen Prognosen zu!

Oilsands Quest expands land position by winning strategic bids in Saskatchewan land sale
CALGARY, Aug. 21 CNW

Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI) has expanded its land position with the acquisition of five strategically located oil sands exploration licences and one oil shale exploratory permit from the Province of Saskatchewan's land sale of August 13, 2007. The company's successful bids will significantly enhance its oil sands holdings in northwestern Saskatchewan and oil shale holdings in the Pasquia Hills area of east-central Saskatchewan.

The sale included lands offered in the first ever bid process for Crown oil sands and oil shale rights in Saskatchewan. For Oilsands Quest, these are its first oil sands exploration licences and oil shale permits acquired under Saskatchewan's new regulations issued in May 2007. The company's existing oil sands exploration permits were granted under the terms of The Oil Shale Regulations, 1964 and these regulations, subject to minor amendments and inflationary adjustments, will continue to apply to Oilsands Quest's existing permit lands in the Province.

A map showing Oilsands Quest's revised oil sands holdings in Saskatchewan is posted with this news release on the company's web site (www.oilsandsquest.com).

Oil sands exploration licences
Oilsands Quest acquired five of the six blocks of oil sands exploration licences offered in the sale covering a total of 44,484 hectares (109,920 acres) for an aggregate cost of $2.25 million Cdn, plus annual rental of $1.75 per hectare. The licences are for oil sands rights from the surface to the top of the Devonian geologic formation for a term of five years. The blocks of land are located in Townships 90 and 91, Ranges 21 to 26 West of the 3rd Meridian. All of the blocks are located south of the company's existing exploration permits in Saskatchewan; two are on the Alberta border.

Oil shale exploratory permit
Oilsands Quest acquired one of the two oil shale exploratory permits in the Pasquia Hills area offered in the sale, totalling 33,900.11 hectares (83,769 acres), for a total work commitment of $301,568 during the first two years of the permit. Thereafter, the minimum annual expenditure requirement is $2.00 per hectare for the remaining term of the permits plus an annual rental of $0.25 per hectare. Oilsands Quest's bid committed the highest amount of eligible expenditures on the permit lands during the first two years of the five-year permit. The permit is for oil shale rights from the surface to the top of the Precambrian geologic formation and is located in Townships 44 and 45, Ranges 1 to 3 West of the 2nd Meridian.

Oilsands Quest mobilizing for next phase of exploration activities in Saskatchewan and Alberta

CALGARY, Aug. 30 - CNW - Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI) is ramping up exploration activities on its oil sands permits in northwestern Saskatchewan following the receipt of government approval of three of the four programs planned for its next phase of operations. The company received approval of its applications for permits to drill 97 exploratory holes, to undertake electrical resistance tomography (ERT) surveys and to conduct road maintenance activities; all of these permits expire March 31, 2008. Approval of the application for its fourth program, an extensive seismic survey, has not yet been received by the company.

The drilling permit allows Oilsands Quest to commence drilling operations before freeze-up. Two drilling rigs will be utilized for this purpose and are now being mobilized; they are expected to be on site and ready to begin drilling by mid-September. Mobilization of the services, personnel and equipment required to support drilling operations and other exploration activities is already underway.

Approvals for extensive 2-D and 3-D seismic programs on Oilsands Quest's adjacent lands in Alberta have also been received, and these programs are currently underway.

Drilling program combines delineation and exploratory drilling
The Saskatchewan drilling permit is based on drilling up to 70 holes in the Axe Lake area and another 27 holes along Oilsands Quest's main access road. The holes in the heart of the Axe Lake area are intended to further delineate the Axe Lake discovery and to obtain detailed information for potential field pilot locations. The holes to be drilled along the access road will test structural targets identified by seismic surveys conducted during the winter 2006/07 exploration program.

In total, eight drilling rigs have been committed for drilling operations between now and the end of March 2008. The winter 2007/08 drilling program is not expected to begin until late November or early December and will be dependent on ideal winter drilling conditions. Oilsands Quest plans to submit an application to expand the current drilling program.

"Our upcoming program represents the next chapter in the development of Axe Lake," said Errin Kimball, Oilsands Quest's Vice President of Exploration. "We are confident that delineation drilling in the Axe Lake area will increase our knowledge of the reservoir as we assess its potential production capability. For exploration in other areas of our Saskatchewan permits, we will use a combination of both 2-D and 3-D seismic and ERT to optimize exploration drilling."

The company plans to use the same exploration strategy on its adjoining permits in Alberta, combining seismic, ERT and drilling to reduce drilling risk and further accelerate timelines for exploration and field production testing.

ERT surveys to help qualify targets identified by seismic
The purpose of the ERT surveys is to measure the resistivity of underground structures identified by seismic surveys in order to determine if the structures contain bitumen or water; they are conducted using small all-terrain vehicles. The permit to conduct ERT surveys is based on two stages: the first involves two test surveys of 4.7 line kilometres each, and the second stage covers up to 100 line kilometres. Interpretation of the results is then correlated with other exploration data in order to form a basis for the selection of exploratory drilling locations. The first stage of the ERT program has already begun.

Other activities related to gearing up for exploration program
The third Saskatchewan permit approved for immediate implementation is related to road maintenance, including the extraction of sand and gravel to maintain exploration roads and trails. Permits of this nature are applied for on a program-by-program basis to support other operations on the company's permit lands. This permit is also tied to the traditional end of the winter drilling season and expires March 31, 2008.

In Alberta, the 2-D and 3-D seismic programs will be conducted on lands adjacent to the company's Axe Lake Discovery in Saskatchewan. Approximately 50 kilometres of 2-D seismic will be undertaken to expand on the seismic program carried out in March 2007. Approximately 500 kilometres of 3-D seismic will focus on targets identified in the March 2007 seismic program. These permits are tied to the end of the winter drilling season and expire April 30, 2008.

The company's base camp, which can house approximately 100 people, has remained open and operational since the end of the last winter drilling program to accommodate maintenance crews and personnel involved in field work for baseline environmental studies. This fall, Oilsands Quest plans to add another dormitory unit to the base camp, which will increase its capacity to approximately 150. The company's other existing camp facility in Saskatchewan, referred to as south camp, will also be utilized this winter; it can house up to 70 people.

A new camp, equivalent in size to the Saskatchewan base camp, will be established in Alberta to support the company's exploration activities there.

[oilrig]

A number of months ago, an article entitled “9 Good Reasons to Like This Oil Sands Name” highlighted the merits of Oilsands Quest (BQI) (formerly known as CanWest Petroleum). Given the recent updates on the company and the recent weakness in the stock price, I thought it would make sense to take another look at BQI.

Sector: Oil Sands / Oil & Gas Exploration and Production

Key Asset: Over 500,000 acres of land in Saskatchewan potentially holding approximately 60 billion barrels of oil.

Why Own It?

# The company has top notch management with a track record of building an oil sands company (CEO, Chris Hopkins founded Synenco [SYN]).
# On a macro level, it’s a play on the increasing importance of the Canadian oil sands. Specifically, worldwide, demand is continuing to grow, driven by incremental demand from China and India. Meanwhile, non-OPEC supply growth is not keeping pace. As such, the world is on a trajectory to increase its reliance on Middle East oil. For the U.S., that is a major security issue. The solution? Increase access to “friendly” sources of oil such as the Canadian oil sands.
# It’s one of the best ways to play the increasing M&A in the oil sands space. On Friday, April 27th, Statoil (STO) acquired privately held North American Oil Sands Company for $0.91 per barrel, or $1.97b U.S. for 2 billion barrels of recoverable reserves. M&A activity in the Canadian oil sands space is expected to increase as oil companies struggle to replace reserves and increase production.
# The stock has significant valuation support. Statoil’s April 27th acquisition should provide of floor to the valuation of BQI. If you apply the $0.91 per barrel valuation to BQI’s 1.5 billion of estimated resource (assuming 50% is recoverable), you get a valuation of $683 million, or $3.46 per basic share, or about $2.90 per fully-diluted share. It’s important to note that the 1.5 billion estimate is probably conservative and will likely evolve into a 2.0+ billion number in July, when management comes out with its official OBIP estimate. That would turn the $3.46 and $2.90 per share valuations into $4.60 and $3.86 per share, respectively. If you also assume that BQI can employ newer oil sands technology to increase recovery, such as Petrobank’s THAI technology, which is said to be able to produce recovery rates of 80%, the $4.60 and $3.86 figures turn into $7.36 and $6.18.
# The above valuation discussion only applies to 2.0 billion of estimated resource. Management believes that the company’s property could potentially hold up to 60 billion barrels. So essentially, investors who buy at the current price get a free option on 58 billion+ of the company’s resource potential. If the company’s property actually holds 60 billion barrels of resource, the stock’s valuation would, theoretically be 30x the figures noted above if you assume the company’s land is homogenous and its characteristics/oil content is consistent throughout. Clearly, this would be the upper bound of the valuation.
# Recent options activity indicates that investors are discovering the BQI story (heavy call option volume for July 5 strikes and October 5 strikes). The volume on calls outweighs comparable put volume by a significant margin. Clearly, some investors are betting big on BQI’s prospects.
# There are numerous near-term catalysts could boost the stock Updates on summer drilling program over the next couple months

1. Update of Axe Lake project potential based on core data in July (could be upgraded from the 1.25 to 1.5 billion barrels estimate released in early April)

2. Toronto Stock Exchange listing should provide more demand for the shares later this year

3. Finalization of Saskatchewan government’s oil sands royalty framework

4. 3rd party data estimating its potential resource on its first project, Axe Lake, is due out in October (this will significantly lower risk associated with company’s resource estimate and open the door to negotiations for a joint venture). That number will likely be in excess of 2.0 billion barrels.

5. The company could enter into a joint venture as between fall 2007 and 1Q08.

# Institutional investors have been buying over the last couple quarters. Major shareholders include Fidelity and Wellington.
# The stock has limited analyst coverage, which would likely change one more data is released on its potential resource and the company’s risk profile improves.
# Despite the company’s favorable operational/drilling updates over the past 4 months, which have significantly lowered the company’s risk profile, the stock is currently trading at $3.00 per share (near its recent low). The weakness in the stock price in recent months is attributed to a combination of its recent $30 million private placement as well as a recent lock-up expiration that has resulted in selling by early-stage investors, who purchased shares at much lower prices.

Better access to the oil sands coming as Garson Lake Road project begins

LA LOCHE

Work has started on an all-weather $4.2 million road linking La Loche, Sask., to Alberta’s oil sands.

The Garson Lake Road project will reduce what is normally a 10-hour trip between La Loche and Fort McMurray, Alta., to two hours.

Premier Lorne Calvert says the road is vital to Saskatchewan’s fledgling oil sands development and to supply workers for the Alberta oilsands projects north of Fort McMurray.

Calgary-based Oilsands Quest is involved in exploration north of La Loche.

Spokesman Chris Hopkins says the road will ease wear and tear on their equipment and increase access to a larger number of workers. Hopkins also says the road will also improve service delivery.

The Saskatchewan portion of the road is expected to be complete within two years.

Oilsands Quest initiates planning of field test of Axe Lake reservoir
PR Newswire
Amex: BQI
September 24, 2007: 09:00 AM EST

CALGARY, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oilsands Quest Inc. has initiated plans for a field test of the reservoir at its Axe Lake Discovery in northwest Saskatchewan. Intended to evaluate reservoir response to varying pressures and temperatures, the field test will be conducted in the first half of 2008, subject to regulatory approval.

"This reservoir test reflects the fact that we are accelerating our activities at Axe Lake in preparation for our field pilot program," said Christopher H. Hopkins, President and CEO of Oilsands Quest.

For the test, the company plans to utilize a vertical well bore with injection and production capabilities, along with adjacent observation wells. Steam will be injected into the oil sands formation at varying temperature and pressure so that the response of the reservoir can be monitored and evaluated.

The reservoir test will contribute data to the design of the field pilot program which, subject to regulatory approval, is planned for start-up in the last half of 2009. Oilsands Quest and its technical consultants are evaluating in-situ recovery methods for the field pilot program, with an emphasis on existing recovery methods that utilize steam and solvents.

"We anticipate Axe Lake will be suitable for in-situ production techniques that industry is currently using or piloting," said Mr. Hopkins. "A combination of steam with a small amount of solvent is expected to result in excellent recovery factors for Axe Lake. This reservoir test will play an important role in determining the in-situ methods we employ in our field pilot program."

"Consistent with our business plan, the company is now embarked on two distinct paths," Mr. Hopkins explained. "With our Axe Lake Discovery, we are focused, firstly, on delineation drilling, field testing, the field pilot program and other development activities, all of which are aimed at maximizing the value of our first discovery. Secondly, having drilled less than five percent of our land holdings in Saskatchewan and Alberta, we continue to aggressively explore our land base which we believe holds the potential for multiple world-class discoveries."

After my last article was published on July 25th, Oilsands Quest (BQI) shares appreciated by 36% to its 52-week high of $5.13 before declining by 16% back to the current price of $4.32. Interestingly enough, the stock has given back some of its gains ahead of a plethora of catalysts that should emerge over the next 12 to 18 months (including 3 that will likely materialize over the next 12 weeks or so). Importantly, there is one catalyst, the company's Norwest update, that should give rise to a number of other catalysts, all of which, combined, could move BQI shares materially in the upcoming months. So here they are:

Sidebar: For those of you who aren't familiar with Oilsands Quest, it is an oilsands exploration company with over 707,000 acres of oilsands land (mostly in Saskatchewan) and the largest contiguous oilsands acreage position. It is essentially the only oilsands play in Saskatchewan. The geographic characteristics of its first oilsands project are equally or more attractive than Encana's Borealis, Christina Lake and Foster Creek projects as well as Suncor's Firebag project. It is headed up by Chris Hopkins, who has a demonstrated track record of successfully establishing another oilsands company (Synenco).

The Near Term Catalyst

Norwest Estimate (timing – late-Oct / early-Nov): This catalyst, due out in the late-October / early-November timeframe, is one of the most eagerly awaited catalysts to the BQI story over the past couple years. Importantly, this is the catalyst could give rise to a number of other catalysts that could move BQI shares higher. Essentially, Norwest (a third party assessor of oilsands assets) is expected to issue its opinion on BQI's first (of potentially several) oilsands project, Axe Lake. To date, management has estimated that Axe Lake contains approximately 2.5 billion barrels of resource. However, it appears that the market has doubted the validity of that estimate. Should Norwest's estimate confirm or come in higher than management's estimate, I think we could see the stock price trade materially higher as investors gain further confidence in management's estimates of its reserves. Of note, Strata Oil & Gas [SOIGF] recently received Norwest's estimate of its reserves. On the announcement on September 27th, the stock rose by 169% to $1.67 before settling at its current price of $1.33. Now, I don't believe BQI shares will have a move of that magnitude; nevertheless, I think the upward move will be significant. The significance of the Norwest estimate is not really in the estimate itself. Instead, it is in its implications. BQI management is estimating that it currently has 10 billion barrels of resource on its acreage. A positive report from Norwest will give investors much more confidence that the 10 billion number is accurate.

Subsequent Catalysts

1. Closure to the Alberta Royalty Situation (timing – sometime in October): On September 18, 2007, the Alberta Royalty Panel issued its official suggestions for modifications to the current royalty structure for energy companies in the province. Effectively, the panel suggestions, if implemented in their entirety would increase the government's take of oilsands projects by 20% per year to about $2 billion. This has put a dark cloud over the Canadian oilsands space and has caused stock prices of many producers such as Encana and Suncor to stall. However, by the end of October, the government of Alberta will respond to the panel's suggestions. Importantly, industry participants have highlighted the flaws in the panel's report including, underestimating capital costs among others. Perhaps more salient, Encana one of Canada's energy heavyweights announced on September 28th, that it would cut capital expenditures in Alberta by 33-40% if all the panel's suggestions are implemented. As such, it appears as if the royalty suggestions may not be passed in their original form and entirety. Interestingly, whether the Alberta Royalty situation gets implemented in its entirety or in part, BQI should benefit. Should the proposed royalty hikes get pared down, BQI would benefit in that about 4.5 billion (45%) of the company's estimated 10 billion barrels are in Alberta and would benefit from lower royalties longer term. If the royalty suggestions are implemented in their entirety, BQI would also benefit. This is how. It seems the consensus thinking is that Canadian oilsands is the only viable alternative for increasing non-OPEC supply materially. If Alberta's royalties are hiked significantly, investors will immediately look for oilsands prospects outside of Alberta, which would eventually lead them to Saskatchewan. That in turn should lead to the discovery of BQI by numerous new investors.

2. Short Squeeze (could begin anytime): As of mid-September, BQI's short interest is still near its high at 11.5 million shares (4.4 days-to-cover and 6% of the float). Undoubtedly, some of these shares are associated with investors who believe don't believe management is credible. Should the Norwest update confirm or improve upon management's estimate in late-October /early-November, I think there could a significant short squeeze. Prior to the Norwest update, I think we may see some short covering from investors who don't want to be short BQI ahead of the long list of catalysts to come.

3. TSX Listing (timing – 4Q07 / 1Q08): BQI has been pursuing a TSX listing. Currently, the stock only trades on the AMEX in the U.S. I believe that there is pent-up demand from Canadian institutional investors who would like to invest in BQI, but cannot due to fund mandates which prohibit those funds from investing on exchanges outside of Canada. This to me makes intuitive sense. Most of us are very familiar with what's going on in our "backyards" and have a sense of confidence investing in something that is close to us, geographically. This investor base could add significant demand for BQI shares over the near-term (and of course, the longer-term as well). Management has stated that a TSX listing in contingent upon Norwest resource estimates. So, if the Norwest numbers come out, I believe we will be BQI begin to trade on the TSX shortly thereafter.

4. Incremental Canadian Analyst Coverage (timing - 4Q07): Currently, BQI is only covered by two analysts: one at Blackmont and the other at Genuity. I would think that other Canadian brokers would be anxious to cover BQI after its TSX listing, given those brokers will be anxious to make a market in BQI shares or take part in future equity offerings.

5. Joint Venture Announcement (timing – after Norwest announcement and probably before year-end 2008): This catalyst will likely take place in late-2008 as it will hinge on the Norwest resource estimate as well. BQI management has stated that it will begin JV discussions after the Norwest estimate is released. That should open the door to serious negotiations with big oil companies that continue to struggle to replace reserves and grow production. Keep in mind that many big oil companies are only replacing about 85% of their reserves. In other words, they are running out of oil to sell in the future. This is a tremendous problem over the longer term, especially since demand for oil continues to increase and incremental supply will have to come from OPEC countries. That would threaten the national security of the U.S., which we all know is of paramount concern to the government. Any JV would probably cause BQI shares to mark-to-market instantly, as the economics provide a floor valuation to BQI shares.

6. SEC Inclusion of Oilsands in Oil Company Reserves (timing – uncertain, but could be next 12-months): Because the rules were established long ago, the SEC does not have a provision for oil companies to include their oilsands resources in their reserve figures. As such, oil companies are dis-incentivized to acquire more oilsands assets or form oilsands joint ventures. However, the SEC has been discussing the issue and many believe that, over the near-term, oilsands reserves will be allowed into the calculation of reserves. That will likely increase interest in oilsands companies and assets and spur M&A activity in the space.

7. Increasing M&A Activity After Reserve Replacement Figures are Published in Early 2008 (timing – 2008): Industry-wide reserve replacement in the last year has approximated 85% and has been getting worse. With oil service costs and day rates exploding, big oil companies are in dire need of big prospects (so they can get more reserves with fewer wells/less spending). Earlier this year, the nationalization of many oil and gas operations in Venezuela took one of the larger potential sources of oil out of the equation. Essentially, now that Venezuela is out of the question for most large international oil companies, Canadian oilsands is becoming more and more of a focal point for increasing non-OPEC reserves and supply.

8. Oil Prices Above $100 Per Barrel (timing – near the end of 2008 / early 2009): Clearly, oil prices north of $100 will be a significant factor in accelerating JV's, M&A, and exploration and development of Canadian oilsands. Not only is $100 a psychological panic point, but it is also a price point at which many more oilsands projects become economical. Should 2007 bring a cold winter, oil prices could see $100 per barrel earlier than expected (right now some people say that oil will be $95+ by year-end 2008). Also, geopolitical issues such as the Iran nuclear debacle could prompt a military strike by the U.S. or Israel that could send oil prices skyrocketing.

Valuation

So what is BQI worth? For that, I turned to two Seeking Alpha articles, "Oilsands Quest Inc.: Undervalued Canadian Oilsands Play" and "Three More Compelling Reasons To Like Oilsands Quest". Taking the average of the two target prices in those articles ($18 and $26 per share), I arrive at a valuation of $22 per share, or over 400% higher than the current price of $4.32 per share.

Following the Norwest estimate catalyst, I believe that, BQI's stock will move upwards towards $22 per share as investors speculate on the potential economics of a joint venture with a big oil company. Helping the stock get to $22 per share will be all or some of the catalysts listed above.

Oilsands Quest Inc. Thursday, October 11, 2007


Oilsands Quest has appointed J. K. (John) Read, P.Eng. to its board of directors, effective October 11, 2007. Mr. Read's career spans over 37 years of engineering, project management and general corporate management, the majority with Colt Engineering Corporation and The Colt Companies, one of Canada's leading engineering firms in the energy industry.

"We are privileged to have John join our board," said T. Murray Wilson, Executive Chairman of Oilsands Quest. "In addition to his exceptional

Dictionary of Petroleum Exploration, Drilling & Production
experience with Colt, which includes major oil sands projects, John has been a director of the Alberta Chamber of Resources and the Bi-Provincial Upgrader. His knowledge and experience with large-scale in-situ projects will be extremely beneficial to Oilsands Quest."

A graduate of the University of Saskatchewan with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1970, Mr. Read began his career in the oil and gas industry with Shell Canada and then Texaco Exploration Canada. In 1974, he joined Colt Engineering Ltd., a private, start-up engineering organization where he held engineering and management positions. In 1983 he became president and chief executive officer of the organization. He was chief executive officer from 1999 until his retirement in early 2006. During this time, Colt grew to over 4,000 employees and had offices in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Sarnia and Anchorage, Alaska. Mr. Read remained as a partner and director of The Colt Companies until March 2007, when Worley Parsons Limited, a worldwide engineering and project management organization acquired Colt.

Der Charttechnische Wiederstand von 5,50Dollar wurde heute nach oben durchbrochen, das ist äusserst positiv zu werten und weckt die Hoffnung auf nachhaltig steigende Aktienkurse von Oilsands Quest.
Leider gibt es zum Allzeithoch noch zahlreiche Wiederstände, wie im u.a. Chart zu erkennen ist.
Oilsands Quest Aktionäre müssen sich aber sowieso an stark volatile Aktienkurse gewöhnen, das ist so, das war so und es ist nicht schwer zu erkennen, das dies auch so bleiben wird.

Ich hoffe, dass bald neue Ressourcen Updates mit spezifischeren Informationen veröffentlicht werden.

Oilsands Quest announces reporting of the independent estimate of Discovered Resources at Axe Lake, provides activity update
Monday November 5, 9:00 am ET
Amex: BQI

CALGARY, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI - News) announces that it has received reporting of the independent estimate of Discovered Resources for its Axe Lake Discovery in northwest Saskatchewan from McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. McDaniel & Associates has been retained by the company to provide reservoir engineering, reserve and resource reporting and valuation services.

McDaniel & Associates has conducted an independent review and evaluation of Oilsands Quest's Discovered Resources based on data obtained from the results of drilling up to March 31, 2007 (the end of the winter 2006/07 drilling program) and other sources and including the physical examination of cores and geophysical logs. McDaniel & Associates has reported to management the following estimates of Discovered Resources (see definitions section below) for the Axe Lake Discovery:

Discovered Resources of Original Bitumen in Place
- Low Estimate (P-90): 1.117 billion barrels;
- Best Estimate (P-50): 1.344 billion barrels; and,
- High Estimate (P-10): 1.547 billion barrels.

The area of the Discovered Resources estimate within the Axe Lake Discovery covers approximately 36 sections (one township) of Permits PS00208 and PS00210 (100% Oilsands Quest) located in the north half of Township 94 and the south half of Township 95, Ranges 24 and 25 West of the Third Meridian. It is approximately 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Suncor's Firebag operations.

McDaniel & Associates is a leader in the development of in-situ oil sands evaluation methodology practices. The firm bases its evaluations on a thorough characterization of the bitumen reservoir and integration of its understanding of the technical application of in-situ exploitation. It has been involved in providing reservoir engineering and valuation expertise to the majority of in-situ oil sands projects under development in Western Canada today. Norwest Corporation, which has a long association as Oilsands Quest's independent geological consultant, will continue to provide geologic consulting and field support. The services provided by Norwest and McDaniel & Associates are complementary.

McDaniel & Associates' Discovered Resource estimates described above are based on the definitions and guidelines prepared by the Standing Committee on Reserves Definitions of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (Petroleum Society) as presented in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook (COGE Handbook). Those standards require that McDaniel & Associates plan and perform a review and evaluation to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the resource estimate is free of material misstatement. Oilsands Quest notes that the above estimates are of Discovered Resources for the Axe Lake Discovery area only. They are determined through drilling and therefore the estimates are based solely on the drilled area of our Axe Lake Discovery.

The previously reported 10.0 billion barrel management estimate of Discovered and Undiscovered Resources continues to reflect management's current opinion of the Discovered and Undiscovered Resources on Oilsands Quest's lands: 1.5 billion barrels of Discovered Resources on the drilled area of Axe Lake, now supported by McDaniel & Associates independent review and evaluation described above; approximately 1 billion barrels of Undiscovered Resources in the Axe Lake area; and 7.5 billion barrels of Undiscovered Resources which are located elsewhere on Oilsands Quest lands (see definitions section below). There is no certainty that Oilsands Quest will discover any portion of the Undiscovered Resources and, if discovered, it may not be economically viable or technically feasible to produce such resources. McDaniel & Associates has not performed a review or evaluation of the Undiscovered Resources estimate described above.

Activities Update

Activities on Oilsands Quest's contiguous land holdings in Saskatchewan and Alberta are ramping up for an intensive winter 2007/08 program. At the present time, Oilsands Quest is conducting delineation drilling in the Axe Lake Discovery area to provide detailed geological definition for specific reservoir field tests, as well as for pilot and development planning. Four drilling rigs are currently at work. At the peak of drilling operations this winter, the company expects to have a total of eight drilling rigs on its permit lands conducting a balanced program of exploration and delineation drilling. 2-D and 3-D seismic operations are underway on both the Saskatchewan permits and adjacent Alberta permits. Approximately 230 people are currently at work on the permit lands.

Continuing to move toward commercialization of Axe Lake

Oilsands Quest continues advancing its reservoir field test program for the Axe Lake Discovery, which is planned for the first half of 2008, and is subject to regulatory approval. This program is designed to evaluate the reservoir's response to varying temperatures and pressures of steam. These tests will contribute data to the design of the pilot in-situ production program, which is currently planned for start-up in 2009. Oilsands Quest and its technical consultants are evaluating in-situ recovery techniques for the production pilot, with an emphasis on existing techniques that utilize steam and steam with solvents.

Definitions

As defined in the COGE Handbook, "Discovered Resources are those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be remaining in, plus those quantities already produced from, known accumulations. Discovered Resources are divided into economic and uneconomic categories, with the estimated future recoverable portion classified as reserves and contingent reserves, respectively."

The Discovered Resources estimates described above were determined in accordance with the COGE Handbook using the following mutually exclusive categories:

- Low Estimate: This is considered to be a conservative estimate of the
quantity of bitumen that exists within the accumulation, which under
probabilistic methodology reflects a P90 confidence level.
- Best Estimate: This is considered to be the best estimate of the
quantity of bitumen that exists within the accumulation. Under
probabilistic methodology, this term is a measure of the central
tendency of the uncertainty distribution (most likely/mode,
P50/median, or arithmetic average/mean).
- High Estimate: This is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the
quantity of bitumen that exists within the accumulation, which under
probabilistic methodology reflects a P10 confidence level.

Discovered Resources can be further classified into four sub-categories: cumulative production; reserves; contingent resources; and unrecoverable resources. The Discovered Resources disclosed by Oilsands Quest in its independent Discovered Resource estimate can not at this time be classified into one of these four sub-categories for the following reasons:

1) cumulative production: no amount of production has yet taken place;
2) reserves: Oilsands Quest has not yet determined what in-situ recovery
process may be suitable for this Discovered Resource and consequently an
in-situ recover factor has not been determined to estimate reserves;
3) contingent resources: Oilsands Quest expects that the Discovered
Resources will be economical, but commercial project economics have not
yet been determined; and
4) unrecoverable resource: Oilsands Quest expects that the Discovered
Resources will be recoverable, but a suitable in-situ recovery process
and consequently an in-situ recovery factor has not been determined, yet.
The commercial viability of the Discovered Resources at the Axe Lake
Discovery, or whether currently available commercial recovery processes
will be applicable, cannot be determined without further drilling,
testing and analysis.

As defined in the COGE Handbook, "Undiscovered Resources are those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered."

Oilsands Quest: The Rocket Has Left the Platform
posted on: November 05, 2007 | about stocks: BQI

There is something large brewing at (BQI) Oilsands Quest. Possibly 10+ billion barrels large.

Over the last month I have witnessed uncanny manipulation/accumulation and have been ridden with angst in regards to the fruition of my investment. Well the fruit is blooming and it looks to be a beauty. Patience yet again is rewarded.

"It isn't as important to buy as cheap as possible as it is to buy at the right time." - Jesse Livermore

The last three days have seen a surge in volume from an average of roughly 2 million shares to 6 million and Sunday a whopping 9 million changed hands. There are many theories as to why the sudden breakout, including a leakage of positive results from the Norwest verification. Norwest has been retained as a third party evaluator to make sure that 10 billion is really 10 billion if not more. My assumption would be that the 10 billion is conservative at best and indeed the ramifications of such data will light the big rocket booster.

Another theory is that this recent move is a push from some very significant news regarding Petrobank's recent THAI testing in Saskatchewan and we haven't even seen the ramifications of Norwest. No doubt the THAI news is as big if not bigger than Norwest. Why you ask? THAI quite simply allows cheap recovery of the oil with less expense to the environment. THAI will bring out the value and profitability while Norwest is merely a verification of what has been established as true. Yes, Norwest is important but in retrospect is a formality and industry requirement. There is no guarantee that Oilsands Quest is going to leverage THAI but the synergy is there and the geographic location of their land in Saskatchewan creates a perfect little donut hole in Oilsand's land. Coincidence? I don't think so…

There is much more to this story to be told and I will save that for another time. I feel strongly that you should always do your own research prior to plunking down your cash. I also feel strongly that Oilsands Quest definitely merits serious consideration. The oil crisis has just begun and global unrest doesn't seem to happen in Canada, eh?

The previously reported 10.0 billion barrel management estimate of Discovered and Undiscovered Resources continues to reflect management's current opinion of the Discovered and Undiscovered Resources on Oilsands Quest's lands: 1.5 billion barrels of Discovered Resources on the drilled area of Axe Lake, now supported by McDaniel & Associates independent review and evaluation described above; approximately 1 billion barrels of Undiscovered Resources in the Axe Lake area; and 7.5 billion barrels of Undiscovered Resources which are located elsewhere on Oilsands Quest lands.

Das Management geht weiterhin von 10 Mrd. Barrel Ressourcen aus; wobei die Reserven im Axe Lake-Gebiet nun erstmals genauer beziffert wurden - eine leichte Konkretisierung der bisherigen Annahmen, auf keinen Fall eine enttäuschende Meldung.

BQI ist spekulativ, aber weiterhin sehr aussichtsreich.

[oilrig]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 32.318.087 von HappyInvestor am 06.11.07 23:43:22

Das am Montag erschienene Gutachten hat gezeigt, daß die in einem Teil des Axe Lake-Gebietes vom Management bezifferten Vorräte (1,5 Mrd. Faß) sogar ganz leicht untertrieben gewesen sind (um einige Mio Faß).

D.h. die Aussagen des Management sind damit prinzipiell vertrauenswürdig. Über die sonstigen Reserven wurde in dem Gutachten nichts geschrieben, diese müssen ebenfalls erst noch von einem unabh. Gutachter ausgewertet werden damit diese als "Proven reserves" gelten.

Die Marktbewertung zur Zeit 1,5 Mrd. USD (bei 6 USD je Aktie )geht daher von einer Worstcase-Betrachtung aus:

1,5 Mrd. nachgewiesene Faß * 1 USD/Faß (typ. Wert in der Peergroup bei Übernahme im Explorerstadium).

Daher erachte ich den momentanen Kurs als unteren fundamentalen Deckel

Und wie dieser bei 5 oder gar 10 Mrd. Faß nachgewiesener Reserven ausschauen mag, das kannst du dir ja gerne selber ausrechnen

"We're the hole in Oilsands Quest's doughnut"


New oilsands project lands on the horizon

Bruce Johnstone
Saskatchewan News Network


Wednesday, November 07, 2007


REGINA -- Move over, Oilsands Quest. Another Calgary-based oil and gas company has plans to develop oilsands in Saskatchewan, too.

Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd. purchased the rights to explore 23,000 acres of land in the Clearwater River area of northwestern Saskatchewan in the October land sale, smack dab in the middle of Oilsands Quest's 36-square-mile exploration area.

"We're the hole in Oilsands Quest's doughnut," said Chris Bloomer, vice-president of heavy oil for Petrobank. Bloomer added while Petrobank's township-sized land base is a fraction of Oilsands Quest's extensive land position, Petrobank has licences, rather than more restrictive permits.

And he said the geology of Petrobank's exploration area is similar to that of Oilsands Quest. "If you look along the Clearwater River, there's bitumen outcrop. Geologically, it's prospective (for bitumen)."

More importantly, Petrobank believes it has the technology to recover a large proportion of the bitumen in place. Oilsands Quest recently announced it has an independent report estimating reserves ranging from 1.1 to 1.5 billion barrels of original bitumen in place.

"You can have all the resources you want, but how do you get it out?" Bloomer said. "Even using SAGD (steam-assisted gravity drainage), with these type of resources, it may not be all that feasible. So you need alternative technology."

That's where Petrobank's THAI (toe-to-heel air injection) technology comes into play. Developed by the University of Bath in the U.K. and licensed by Petrobank subsidiary Archon Technologies, THAI is an "in situ combustion process" that injects air into the oil-bearing formation, Bloomer said.

"We actually gasify a portion of the oil in place -- the bad part of it, the asphaltenes -- to create a very, very high temperature that mobilizes a lot of oil, which drains into the horizontal well and is brought to surface," Bloomer said.

Petrobank has been testing its THAI technology at its Whitesands oilsands project in northern Alberta. "We've been in operation for a year and we're getting very good results," he said.

"Since it's a low-pressure process, it doesn't involve the burning of natural gas or the use of water and is a very efficient process. We expect to get very high recoveries -- 70 to 80 per cent of the oil in place."

While used initially in heavy oil projects, THAI can be adapted to recover bitumen from oilsands deposits using vertical injection and horizontal production wells, he added.

Bloomer believes other companies, including Oilsands Quest, should be using THAI technology to recover heavy oil and bitumen in Saskatchewan and elsewhere. "It's our chip in the game. They (Oilsands Quest) should be interested."

Meanwhile, Petrobank is busy drilling the 17,000 hectares of land in Saskatchewan it acquired earlier this year. The company paid $59.4 million, or 85 per cent, of the total $70.2 million in bonus bids in the April sale.

This year, Petrobank drilled about 60 wells in southeastern Saskatchewan, primarily in the deeper Bakken formation, and plans to drill another 80 wells next year.

Oilsands Quest plunges, but analyst sees shares above US$20

Shares of Oilsands Quest Inc. (BQI/AMEX) fell more than 12% to US$5.57 on Monday after the company released an independent estimate of discovered resources for the Axe Lake discovery in northwest Saskatchewan. But plenty of optimism continues to surround the company’s prospects.

The Calgary-based explorer, which was previously alone in looking for oilsands potential in Alberta’s neighbour to the east, received a low estimate of 1.117 billion barrels of original bitumen in place and a high estimate of 1.547 billion.

Desjardins Securities analyst Adam Zive reiterated his “top pick” rating and US7$.50 price target on the company’s shares, which could also get a boost on Tuesday from a recommendation yesterday from Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s Mad Money.

Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd. (PBG/TSX) recently announced that it acquired a 23,000-plus acre oilsands license in Saskatchewan. This has positive implications for Oilsands Quest, Mr. Zive told clients in a note, in part because Petrobank’s THAI technology may be useful for its lands.

He believes the stock could rise above US$20 in the long term if commercial production levels are reached.

Blackmont Capital analyst Menno Hulshof reacted to the much-anticipated estimate by raising his price target on Oilsands Quest shares by US50¢ to US$7.25.

The results help validate the company’s internal estimate of 10 billion barrels for all of its permit lands, he said in a research note.

Mr. Hulshof believes some investors were waiting on the sidelines until this independent estimate was released and for the stock to be listed on the TSX, which he expects before the end of 2007.

“We believe this news should result in increased investor interest in Oilsands Quest over time,” he said.

Oilsands Quest find looks for real

David Parkinson, November 6, 2007 at 1:59 PM EST

Little-known Oilsands Quest Inc. is creating some buzz in the investment community this week after some encouraging news about the potential of the company's Axe Lake in-situ oil sands property in northwestern Saskatchewan.

The Calgary-based oil sands exploration company revealed than an independent evaluation of the property, conducted by respected petroleum consulting firm McDaniel & Associates, estimated the bitumen resource in place at Axe Lake at anywhere from 1.12 billion to 1.55 billion barrels, with a "best estimate" of 1.34 billion. That validates the 1.4 billion to 1.5 billion estimate Oilsands Quest issued in July - an estimate that had seemed a bit high to some, but nevertheless had helped more than double the price of the company's Amex-listed stock over the past four months.


The independent resource estimates put Axe Lake on about the same scale as Husky Energy Inc.'s Tucker in-situ oil sands project in northeastern Alberta, which was completed in 2004 at a cost of about $500-million. (That project would cost a lot more today, given the soaring economics of oil sands development.) However, Oilsands Quest has said it believes the property could contain another 700 million to 1.3 billion barrels that its drilling has yet to discover - an estimate that the Street will take a little more seriously now that the company's internal estimates on the discovered resource have been borne out by the independent evaluation. At 2.5 billion barrels, Axe Lake would be in the same ballpark as Long Lake, the $6-billion Nexen Inc./OPTI Canada Inc. joint venture in northern Alberta.

In other words, Oilsands Quest could be sitting on a big-league project, albeit one that's still years away from commercial production. The news was enough to trigger a recommendation upgrade from Blackmont Capital, which now rates Oilsands Quest as a "buy", up from "speculative buy" - a vote of confidence in the viability of the property.

With that in mind, why not start boning up on your Oilsands Quest trivia, so you can wow your broker when he says, "Oilsands Who?" Like, for instance, that the company's executive chairman, T. Murray Wilson, was a career investment banker who was global head of oil and gas for TD Securities Inc. Or that former TV personality and diplomat Pamela Wallin sits on its board. (Both she and the Axe Lake project were born in Saskatchewan. Probably not a coincidence.)

die Petrobank-Geschichte hat mich nicht losgelassen und ich habe ein wenig dazu recherchiert:


THAI™ - Increasing the Potential of the Canadian Oil Sands

The Canadian Oil Sands

The Canadian oil sands is the world’s largest accumulation of hydrocarbon. Located in northeastern Alberta, the oil sands underlie approximately 140,000 square miles, an area the size of Florida, and contain bitumen, a thick tar-like hydrocarbon which requires significant upgrading. Petrobank’s WHITESANDS assets are situated in the heart of the in-situ oil sands development fairway



THAI™ Technology


Mining
When oil sands have less than 75 metres of overburden, mining is used to extract the bitumen. Mining requires massive trucking operations to haul the oil sands for processing. Steam-based technologies
Several technologies rely on steam to heat and soften the bitumen underground allowing it to flow to production wells. Both CSS and SAGD are considered economic only in very high-grade, relatively homogeneous oil sands reservoirs, which is only about 10 percent of the resource base, and can only recover 20-50 percent of the bitumen-in-place. THAI™ has the potential to operate in lower pressure, lower quality and deeper reservoirs than current steam-based processes. THAI™ has the potential to recover 70-80 percent of bitumen in place versus 20-50 percent from current in-situ technologies. THAI™ could also be applied to previously steamed reservoirs to recover bitumen left behind by CSS and SAGD.

THAI™ has the potential to operate in reservoirs where other steam-based recovery methods cannot. Unlike current steam-based technologies, THAI™ is not as impacted by the geologic variables found in the oil sands.
Thinner reservoirs (less than 10 metres) can be a target for THAI™ as only one horizontal well is required compared to two horizontal wells with SAGD. THAI™ is not as sensitive to the presence of top or bottom water, which act as heat thief zones, nor the absence of top gas that provides some reservoir pressure.

One of the main geological variables of the oil sands is large shale lenses which act as barriers for steam migration. These shale lenses are less of a concern with THAI™ as the process creates its own pressure regime and operates at very high temperatures, allowing heat to penetrate past these potential barriers.
What is the THAI™ technology?

THAI™ is a evolutionary new combustion process, that combines a vertical air injection well with a horizontal production well. During the process a combustion front is created where part of the oil in the reservoir is burned, generating heat which reduces the viscosity of the oil allowing it to flow by gravity to the horizontal production well. The combustion front sweeps the oil from the toe to the heel of the horizontal producing well recovering an estimated 80 percent of the original oil-in-place while partially upgrading the crude oil in-situ.

The THAI™ process was discovered in 1993 and is continually advanced through numerous repeatable physical model laboratory runs and successful field scale numerical simulation models, using the Computer Modelling Group’s “STARS” simulation model. THAI™ is patented in Canada, the United States and Venezuela.

The THAI™ process also has potential to operate in reservoirs that are lower in pressure, of a lower quality, thinner and deeper than SAGD. THAI™ integrates existing proven technologies and provides the opportunity to create a step change in the development of heavy oil resources globally. Petrobank owns all the intellectual property rights associated with the THAI™ technology.

To field demonstrate the THAI™ process, Petrobank, through its 84 percent owned subsidiary, Whitesands Insitu Ltd., is undertaking the WHITESANDS Pilot Project in the oil sands of Alberta, Canada. The WHITESANDS project is sited on a portion of our 62 sections of oil sands leases in the heart of the oil sands fairway.

THAI™ has many potential benefits:

* Higher resource recovery
o Estimated 70-80 percent recovery of oil-in-place
o Potentially feasible over a broader range of reservoirs including: low pressure, thinner, previously steamed, deeper, removal of gas over bitumen; or top and bottom water

* Improved economics
o Lower capital cost – only one horizontal well, minimal steam and water processing facilities
o Lower operating cost – negligible natural gas, minimal steam generation and minimal water processing
o Potential for higher netbacks for partially upgraded product and less dilutent use
o Faster project execution time

* Lower environmental impact
o Negligible fresh water use
o 50 percent less greenhouse gas emissions
o Smaller surface footprint and easier reclamation



http://www.petrobank.com/hea-thai-image-1.html





Executive Summary:

THAI erlaubt also geringere Förderkosten bei höherer Ausbeute (80% in situ sind ein Wort!) und vor allem einen geringeren Gas- und Wasserverbrauch. Vor allem die beiden letzeren Punkte sind meiner Ansicht nach bislang die limitierenden Faktoren bei der Ölsandgewinnung in Kanada gewesen.

Wenn bei der Demoanlage in Whitesand keine gravierenden Probleme auftreten sollten sehe ich diese Firma als sehr aussichtsreichen Ausrüster bei neuen Ölsandprojekten an, der sich mit seinen Lizenzen dumm und duselig verdienen könnte


Die Firma besitzt auch mehrere Öl- und Ölsandprojekte

Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd. is a Calgary-based oil and natural gas exploration and production company with operations in western Canada and Colombia. The Company operates high-impact projects through three business units.

The Canadian Business Unit is developing a solid production platform from low risk gas opportunities in central Alberta, along with a light oil resource play in southeast Saskatchewan, complemented by new exploration projects and a large undeveloped land base.

The Latin American Business Unit is operated by Petrobank’s 76.6 percent owned, TSX-listed subsidiary, Petrominerales Ltd. (trading symbol: PMG), which produces oil through two incremental production contracts in Colombia and has exploration contracts covering 1.5 million acres in the Llanos and Putumayo basins.

Whitesands Insitu Ltd., Petrobank’s wholly owned subsidiary, owns 39,680 acres of oil sands leases with an estimated 2.6 billion barrels of bitumen-in-place and operates the Whitesands Project which is field demonstrating Petrobank’s patented THAI™ heavy oil recovery process. THAI™ is an evolutionary in-situ combustion technology for the recovery of bitumen and heavy oil that integrates existing proven technologies and provides the opportunity to create a step change in the development of heavy oil resources, globally.

Ein Zeichen von Leben oder besser gesagt rege Aktivität woraufhin Desjardins Securities eine Kaufempfehlung abgegeben hat.

Oilsands Quest Inc. (BQI), which explores for, and develops oil sands deposits in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta, continues to receive a “top pick - speculative” rating from Desjardins Securities. Analyst Adam Zive recently reiterated his $7.50 price target on the shares and said investors should expect “substantial near-term catalysts” in 2008.

One of these comes from the company’s Axe Lake discovery in Saskatchewan. Mr. Zive noted that the project is progressing toward commercialization and negotiations are expected to begin with potential partners.

Oilsands Quest is also pursuing a listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange that could come as soon as the first quarter of 2008, he told clients in a note.

The analyst’s price target represents upside of roughly 80% above Friday’s closing price of $4.16. However, he said if commercial production levels are achieved, the stock could provide value of up to $20 or more per share.

Oilsands Quest has an attractive combination of the largest contiguous oil sands land position, significant resource potential, material near-term catalysts, a more favorable operating environment in Saskatchewan compared with Alberta, M&A potential, and a team of directors and management with a proven track record and 20% ownership of the company, Mr. Zive added.

Axe Lake Recovery development program

Drilling to date within the Axe Lake Discovery area has confirmed three reservoirs for potential development. The three reservoirs, of roughly equal size, contain the majority of Axe Lake's Discovered Resources. These reservoirs are the focus of Oilsands Quest's recovery development and production planning efforts.

In an extensive program of laboratory testing and reservoir simulation studies, Oilsands Quest, its technical consultants and its financial advisors ]are evaluating existing in-situ recovery techniques. These efforts have provided the initial definition of the field test program to evaluate reservoir response to varying temperatures and pressures of steam and steam with solvents. A program of reservoir testing at three sites within the Axe Lake Discovery is planned for the first half of 2008, subject to regulatory approval. The reservoir tests will provide up to 600 barrels per day of initial bitumen volumes in 2008 that will contribute data to the design of an in-situ test program of up to 10,000 barrels per day that is planned for start-up in 2009, subject to regulatory approval.

Camp operations update

Oilsands Quest is operating two camps in Saskatchewan to support its winter 2008 drilling, seismic and reservoir testing activities. The Base Camp will accommodate up to 200 personnel and is located on the main access road adjacent to the company's 5,000-foot (1500-metre) airstrip in the northeast corner of the Axe Lake Discovery area. The new South Camp will accommodate up to 250 people and is located in Saskatchewan near the Alberta border, 12 miles (19 km) southwest of the Base Camp. It will provide support to operations in both Alberta and Saskatchewan. Drilling has commenced in Alberta on the company's permit lands. During the winter season, manpower is expected to peak at approximately 450 personnel.

Ich wüsste gerne mal, wie hoch die Kapitalkosten dafür sind und ob es dadurch einen Amortisierungseffekt gibt, wäre ja nicht ganz unwichtig für die Aktionäre, die in den Letzten Jahren jedes Mal pünktlich zur Kasse gebeten worden sind.

Es tut sich wieder etwas! Endlich wurde eine Roadmap mit klaren Milestones definiert, was IMHO längst überfällig war. Kommendes Jahr soll eine Versuchsanlage in Betrieb gehen, die 10 000 Brl/Tag produzieren und für einen signifikanten Cashflow sorgen wird. 2011, also in 3 Jahren, soll die kommerzielle Ölproduktion beginnen.

Nachdem der Kurs im Zuge der Gesamtmarktbewegung übel geprügelt wurde, habe ich meine Posi am Fr. um 30% vergrössert und werde in den kommenden Wochen noch zukaufen.

Allen Long-Investierten weiterhin viel Erfolg !

2011, also in 3 Jahren, soll die kommerzielle Ölproduktion beginnen.

Wo soll denn das stehen! Meinst Du die Phase 5? In Phase 5 steht nur Etwas von Commercial Development, also das zielstrebige Arbeiten hin auf grössere Produktionen. Der Start up in Phase 4 ab Anfang 2009 wird die Versuchsphase sein, auch wenn sie bis ins Jahr 2011 hineinreicht.

Rundum eine schöne Entwicklung, dass an Allen Fronten gekämpft wird (Engeneering, Power, Road Construction/Highway, Pipeline ect ect ect).
Wenn die Versuchsphase erfolgreich ist, haben wir Gute Chancen, dass der Kurs zukünftlich nicht weiter kleckerhaft verwässert wird und es stetigen Cash Flow gibt.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 33.262.683 von Punicamelon am 04.02.08 16:29:04

Hi Punica,

ja, Phase 5 interpretiere ich als Beginn der kommerziellen Produktion, da "Startup & Production Runs" aus Phase 4 Mitte 2011 endet. Denke das wichtigste ist, daß irgendwann nächstes Jahr sowas wie ein Cashflow einsetzt, der einer weiteren Verwässerung recht deutlich entgegen wirken dürfte. Dazu kommt, daß sich der Unternehmenswert bis dahin durch den weiter steigenden Ölpreis weiter deutlich erhöhen dürfte.

Was denkst du ?

Jau, seh ich auch so, Oilsands Quest macht stetige Fortschritte und wenn wir Glück haben, kommen wir mit den 10.000Barrel Testförderung (45Dollar Abbaukosten/ 90Dollar Ölpreis/ -30%Steuern), schon auf KGV 10 und dies schon im Nächsten Jahr, das wären wirklich grandiose Aussichten.

Einzig ärgerlich finde ich, dass der Aktienkurs die Letzten 12-18Monate nicht stetig gepflegt wurde und man so stärkere Kursverwässerungen durch Kapitalerhöhungen quasi verschenkt hat, aber meine Kritik an Hopkins soll nicht erneuert werden, anscheinend kann man aus vollen Schätzen greifen.

Oilsands Quest bleibt weiterhin ein MUSS für Jeden Investor, der nachhaltig an hohe Ölpreise glaubt!

(Amex: BQI - News) announces updates of activities in its drilling and seismic programs on the company's contiguous land holdings in Alberta and Saskatchewan to February 9, 2008. The company also announces the appointment of Claes T.S. Palmgren to the new position of Vice President, Reservoir Engineering.

Alberta operations update

Oilsands Quest initiated exploratory drilling on January 10, 2008 on its exploration permits in Alberta and, by February 9, 2008 had drilled five holes. The holes are located within an area of approximately two sections or five square kilometres (about two square miles) and encountered McMurray formation at depths ranging from 157 to 164 metres (515 to 538 feet). The estimated thickness of the McMurray formation, which includes meaningful bitumen intercepts, ranges from 20 to 46 metres (65 to 150 feet). Bitumen saturation, net pay thicknesses and other reservoir characteristics will be determined following third-party core and laboratory analysis, which will take several months to conduct.

Oilsands Quest currently has four drilling rigs working on the Alberta side of its contiguous land holdings. The company hopes to drill up to 30 exploratory holes in its current Alberta drilling program by the end of the winter drilling season, which traditionally ends during the last half of March with the arrival of spring break-up conditions.

Field work in Oilsands Quest's winter 2007/08 seismic program in Alberta, which includes 2D and 3D surveys, is underway. It is expected that planned seismic field work will also be completed by the end of the winter season.

Saskatchewan operations update

In its winter 2007/2008 Saskatchewan drilling program to date, Oilsands Quest has drilled a total of 96 delineation holes, along with 16 piezometer holes (for ground water monitoring) since September 2007. All of these holes are located in the Axe Lake Discovery area. Core samples and drilling data are being evaluated.

Four drilling rigs are currently at work on the company's land holdings in Saskatchewan. This week, Oilsands Quest plans to shift the focus of current Saskatchewan drilling and step out from the Axe Lake Discovery area. Field work in the Saskatchewan 2D and 3D seismic programs for winter 2007/08 has been completed, and processing is now underway in Calgary. During January, Oilsands Quest's two camps, both located in Saskatchewan, have averaged a total of 305 personnel.

Appointment of Vice President, Reservoir Engineering

On February 1, 2008, Claes T.S. Palmgren, P.Eng., was appointed Vice President, Reservoir Engineering, of Oilsands Quest Inc. Prior to joining Oilsands Quest, Dr. Palmgren was Manager, Reservoir Process Technology at StatoilHydro Canada Ltd. (formerly North American Oil Sands Corporation). He has extensive experience in thermal and thermal-solvent in-situ recovery processes, technology pilot program development and field applications of in-situ heavy oil and bitumen recovery technologies. Dr. Palmgren's biography is posted on the company's website (www.oilsandsquest.com).

Oilsands Quest Inc. is aggressively exploring Canada's largest holding of oil sands permits and licences, located in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and developing Saskatchewan's first global-scale discovery. It is leading the establishment of the province of Saskatchewan's emerging oil sands industry.

JV-Partner wäre ja okay, Suncor ist eine gute Firma...

Woher hast du das mit dem JV?

Ich habe aus dem Bullboard leider was anderes: rumour about "Suncor is making a bid for BQI"
Eine Übernahme wäre zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt völlig beschissen,
die MCap derzeit ist doch ein schlechter Scherz gemessen an den Assets!!!

Und für 20 oder 30 Prozent Premium will meine nicht hergeben, ich habe locker drei Jahre Zeit...!!!

[Schandmaul]

Ich habe auch in diversen Foren etwas von einem Übernahmeangebot seitens Suncor läuten hören, bislang jedoch nur Gerüchte, angeblich kam die Meldung von Yahoo.

Was denkt ihr, in welchen Größenordnungen sich so ein Übernahmeangebot per Share bewegen könnte ?

Na wie immer, der Übernehmer bezalhlt in Relation zum KURS und nicht zum WERT!

Es gilt folgende Formel:
take over bid = shareprice + XX
Wobei XX (= Premium) irgendwo zwischen 20 und 30 Prozent liegen dürfte...!

Werde YAHOO mal checken, ob ich was konkretes finde!

Da das Management gute 20% hält (wobei einige Mitglieder bei 5-6$ bedient wurden!) und es auch eine Reihe von signifikanten private Placements in der 5$ Region gab, bin ich mal guter Dinge, daß beim derzeitigen Kursniveau nix in Richtung Übernahme laufen wird, weder einvernehmlich, noch feindlich. Es sei denn, Suncor legt ein anständiges Angebot auf den Tisch, sprich im 2-Stelligen Dollar-Bereich.

Wie seht ihr das ?

Mit meinen paar Stücken werde ich eine feindliche Übernahmen nicht verhindern können!

Ich hoffe einfach mal auf ein JV, gern mit Suncor!
Vielleicht werden ja auch einige Assets verscherbelt, das bringt dann ordentlich Cash in die Täsch und alle Projekte kann BQI alleine sowieso nicht stemmen (oder es dauert 100 Jahre!).
Vielleicht kommt ja auch was ganz anderes, Finanzierung oder Drill Results oder so was...

Üblich ist ein Übernahmeangebot von +20 oder +30% über dem Aktienkurs des Tages der Veröffentlichung, wenn der willige Übernehmer auch nachhaltig gewollt ist. Wenn es ein Wettrennen zwischen mehreren Bietern gibt, kann es auch eine aussergewöhnliche Zockerrallay geben, wie damals bei Mannesmann oder Bestes aktuelles Beispiel: RePower. Dann jedoch müssen auch die Aktionäre mitspielen und dürften nicht gleich hinschmeissen, wie es bei Wolfden oder Uramin der Fall war.

Das Problem an Oilsands Quest ist die optisch hohe Marktcap. Oilsands Quest ist kein kleiner Explorer von 70 oder 100Mio Euro Marktcap, wo sich schnell mal 10Fonds einkaufen und bis zum Weltuntergang ausharren. BQI ist eine Firma, die zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt eine schlappe Milliarde Dollar Kapital in der Marktcap gebunden hat.

Zum Jetzigen Zeitpunkt eine Übernahme wäre ein absoluter Witz und angesichts der drückenden fundamentalen Lage auf den weltweiten Ölmärkten für die Aktionäre fatal.

Ich rechne langfristig mit Ölpreisen im 200-300Dollar Niveau, das sind jedenfalls Preise, bei denen ausgereifte Technologien wie Biogas und Wasserstoff nachhaltig rentabel sind und der Ölpreis dort gedeckelt ist.

Was dann die Assets von BQI wert sind, mag man gar nicht dran denken. Heute sind 1-3Dollar pro Barrel Bitumen üblich, demzufolge wären langfristig bis zu 10Dollar pro Barrel möglich und gut 10Mrd Barrel hat Oilsands Quest schon glaubwürdig gefunden.

Oilsands' Quest to Become a Major Canadian Producer
February 27, 2008

For all the chatter surrounding wind, solar, biomass and other “green” energy sources, the world still runs on old-fashioned fossil fuel — and will to an even greater degree into the distant future. The U.S. Energy Information Administration presages daily world petroleum consumption will grow to 97 million barrels in 2015 to 118 million barrels in 2030, from 83 million barrels today.



Growing demand for petroleum and its distillates is as old as the industry itself. In recent years, the demand has quickened a step or two; hence, the five-fold increase in per-barrel prices over the past decade.

No one likes to pay higher prices, but higher prices spur entrepreneurs to bring new oil supplies to market. One notable entrepreneur actively seeking new supplies is Oilsands Quest Inc. (AMEX: BQI), a Calgary-based energy exploration and development company whose business is extracting oil from oil sands.

And there's potentially a lot of oil for Oilsands to extract. Canada's oil sand reserves lie under an expanse of real estate larger than Florida, putting it on par with Saudi Arabia's reserves. But unlike the Saudi's reserves, which flow relatively freely, Canada's oil from sand often requires high-pressure steam — produced by burning vast amounts of natural gas — that's injected into the ground to separate the viscous bitumen from the sand to which it adheres.

Oil at $30 a barrel provides little incentive to pressure-wash sand for oil. Oil at $100 a barrel is another matter. Today's prices have inspired oil sands projects valued at $100 billion, further cementing Canada's position as the number one crude-oil supplier to the United States.

Oilsands is working to assure that the United States's petroleum thirst remains well slaked. The company owns a 100% interest in the Saskatchewan Oil Shale exploration, as well as lesser projects in the Alberta oil sands, giving it the largest contiguous lease on oil sands in Canada, if not the world. The company has forged ahead with an ambitious winter drilling program to prove reserves ahead of a 10,000-barrel-per-day pilot project scheduled to start up in 2009, with a subsequent target of 100,000 barrels per day. The company has four rigs turning in Alberta and Saskatchewan to delineate an estimated 1.5 billion barrels of contingent reserves.

But in today's incarnation, Oilsands is more exploration than development, which means it is expending, not generating, cash flow. At this juncture its income statement is relatively useless for extrapolative purposes, but here are the numbers anyway: in the six-month period ended Oct. 31, 2007, revenue was nil, resulting in a net loss of $26.6 million. In the same six-month period in 2006, revenue was also nil, but the net loss was larger — $35.6 million. Looking at 2008, revenue will be equally barren and losses equally pronounced.

At this stage the balance sheet is more revealing than the income statement. As of Oct. 31, 2007, Oilsands was sitting on $49.6 million in cash and no long-term debt, compared with $32.4 million in cash and no long-term debt at the end of Oct. 31, 2006, which means the company is sufficiently capitalized to fund its working capital and exploration and production needs.

Oilsands's value lies in its potential. The Alberta Energy Utilities Board estimates that oil extracted from oil sands is expected to grow to 4.6 million barrels a day in 2015 and then to 4.9 million barrels a day by 2020. Saskatchewan is Canada’s second largest oil producer (after Alberta) and produces about 17% of Canada’s total oil production. No one knows for sure how big Saskatchewan's oil sands are, but early estimates put reserves at one-fifth of the 300-billion barrels of known bitumen reserves.

In short, Oilsands's potential is tall, and the analysts who follow the company generally concur. Desjardins Securities analyst Adam Zive recently reiterated his $7.50 per share price target based on the company's oil discovery at its Axe Lake property in Saskatchewan. Blackmont Capital analyst Menno Hulshof has a target price of $7.25 per share, noting "Oilsands Quest has the single largest, contiguous oil sands acreage position in the industry, and its shares continue to trade at a sharp discount to net asset value, making it the least expensive company in its peer group.”

TD Newcrest analyst Mark Friesen is more circumspect. He recently initiated coverage with a “speculative buy” and a 12-month price target of $5.75 per share. Friesen states that “while this success cannot be extrapolated over the remaining unexplored land position, it seems reasonable that much more remains to be discovered on the company’s leases.”

Here's our distillation of Oilsands's value: the company has 241 million shares issued and outstanding, which gives a book value of $2.06 share. The closing price on Monday was $3.88. All the known potential — the Axe Lake reserves in Saskatchewan and projected annual production — is priced into the shares, with a discount for the probability of various failure scenarios.

That said, one can convincingly argue that insufficient premium is given to the difficulties — thanks largely to the environmentalists — of replacing reserves, which gives the drilling rights alone the potential to drive share-price higher. What's more, the probability of share appreciation increases as stated goals are met and as oil prices move higher. Should both events continue along recent trends, Oilsands' (BQI) shareholders will get closer to their quest for a higher share price.

Oilsands Quest files 10-Q Quarterly Report, provides update of field operations in Saskatchewan and Alberta
Tuesday March 18, 9:00 am ET
Amex: BQI


CALGARY, March 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI - News) announces that its Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the period ended January 31, 2008 was filed Friday, March 14, 2008 (available at www.sec.gov and www.sedar.com). The company also provides an update of the status of winter field operations on its contiguous oil sands exploration lands in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Drilling program (September 14, 2007 - March 16, 2008)

Type of drilling Saskatchewan Alberta Total
Exploration holes 38 25 63
Delineation holes 87 - 87
Environmental wells 16 - 16
Reservoir test wells 2 - 2
----- ----- -----
Totals 143 25 168

To date, in the first drilling program on the Alberta side of its contiguous land holdings, Oilsands Quest has drilled 25 exploration holes, 18 of which have encountered meaningful intercepts of bitumen-bearing McMurray formation. Reservoir characteristics, including bitumen saturations, porosities and permeabilities, from the winter drilling program in both Alberta and Saskatchewan will be determined following third-party core and laboratory analysis, which normally takes several months to complete.

Seismic programs

Oilsands Quest has now completed field work on the major 3-D and 2-D seismic programs conducted this winter on its permit lands in Saskatchewan and Alberta. The company is using seismic survey data as one of the key tools to further define geological structure and reservoir characteristics within the Axe Lake Discovery area and to identify exploration targets.

With the arrival of spring and the warming weather conditions, winter field operations are beginning to wind down. Following the conclusion of the winter field operations, Oilsands Quest plans to provide a more comprehensive review of the winter program.

Reservoir field test activities

Drilling of thermally completed, injection and observation wells for the reservoir field test program in the Axe Lake Discovery area is progressing and will continue as long as weather conditions allow. At March 16, 2008, two wells for the test program had been drilled and completed, and a third well was being drilled. Approximately 18 vertical wells are expected to be drilled on three test sites. A specialized heavy-duty, truck-mounted drilling rig was contracted for drilling the test wells. Drilling of these wells is planned to resume after spring breakup.

The reservoir test program is currently underway with drilling, coring, logging and well completion activities. Initial steam injection into the reservoir is expected to commence in the summer of 2008 upon completion of construction of the facilities, which has also begun. In preparation for these tests, advanced laboratory testing and production simulation studies utilizing the drilling, coring and logging data obtained from this winter's operations, including the reservoir test drilling program, will commence immediately. This program is intended to contribute to the data required to determine the optimal in-situ process or processes that may be used to produce from the Axe Lake Discovery.

Oilsands Quest provides an operational update on its winter exploration program

Wednesday April 16, 9:00 am ET


CALGARY, April 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI - News) announces that the 2007/08 winter exploration program in the field concluded on March 26, 2008. The program demonstrated continued success on the company's contiguous oil sands exploration lands in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Overall, a total of 175 holes were drilled with 150 in Saskatchewan and 25 in the company's first exploration program conducted on its adjacent land holdings in Alberta. Evaluation of core and other data from these holes is being conducted. As anticipated, the drilling results continue to show continuity of bitumen resources over a large area. The drilled portion of the original Axe Lake Discovery area has increased in size from 36 sections (36 square miles) to 65 sections (65 square miles) as a result of the winter 2007/08 program. The exploration drilling in Alberta was completed over 24 sections (24 square miles). Of the 175 holes drilled, 155 were exploration and delineation holes in Saskatchewan and Alberta of which 103 encountered meaningful intercepts of bitumen-bearing McMurray formation (67 percent). The 175 holes drilled a total of 35,000 meters (114,850 feet).

Of the 125 holes drilled in the winter 2007/08 program in the Axe Lake Discovery area, 88 were delineation holes, of which 65 encountered meaningful intercepts of bitumen-bearing McMurray formation (74 percent). The previously released estimates of Discovered Resources were based on drilling conducted up to March 31, 2007 within the 36 section area. The depths, thickness and observed reservoir quality of the formation were consistent with previous results. The tight drilling density in the Axe Lake Discovery area further enhances management's confidence in the bitumen resource and its understanding of the depositional environment. Those holes that did not intercept bitumen, were generally delineating the edge of Quaternary channel erosional features commonly found in the McMurray formation. Evaluation of drilling results and data from the 3D seismic program over the three main reservoirs will assist in determining the parameters for delivering a commercially viable bitumen development.

The remaining 37 holes drilled in the Axe Lake Discovery area in the winter 2007/08 program were exploration holes, of which 18 encountered meaningful intercepts of bitumen-bearing McMurray formation (49 percent). These exploration holes extend the drilled Axe Lake Discovery area from 36 sections to 65 sections. This part of the program identified the continuity and extent of the oil sands and expanded the knowledge of the geologic framework of the adjacent lands to the north and east of the original Axe Lake Discovery area.

Preparations for Oilsands Quest's reservoir field test program in the Axe Lake Discovery area began during the winter 2007/08 program period and will continue in May or June. Phase One of the Axe Lake Discovery test program will consider up to three test sites (with varying overburden and pay thickness) with one vertical steam injection well and five vertical observation wells per test site. Steam injection is planned for September 2008 on Test Site #1 and towards the end of 2008 on Test Sites #2 and #3 if appropriate. The purpose of Phase One is to measure resource specific heat and fluid movement under specific operating conditions on a field scale to complement our on-going simulation and laboratory analysis programs. Phase One has received regulatory approval. Phase Two of the Axe Lake Discovery test program will consider expanding the three test sites with horizontal wells and/or injecting mobilization agents other than steam. Current plans call for placement of horizontal wells early next year and injection thereafter. The purpose of Phase Two is to evaluate and analyze information gathered from Phase One regarding mobilization agents and to measure field scale response using horizontal wells. Phase Three of the Axe Lake Discovery test program is currently in the scoping phase where the options being considered range from a continued reservoir test program to a technology feasibility pilot to a full commercial demonstration project.

This past winter, four reservoir test wells were drilled at Reservoir Test Site #1 and ten, 1,000 barrel, heated liquid storage tanks were delivered. Other critical components, such as test and control equipment and steam generation facilities are scheduled for delivery starting in June. Oilsands Quest will continue construction of the test facilities on Test Site #1 in May or June 2008 and expects initial steam injection into the reservoir Test Site #1 to begin late summer 2008.

An additional 16 environmental wells were drilled in the Axe Lake Discovery area for ground water monitoring purposes. These wells are not included in core hole drilling statistics as they are drilled and completed for a specific purpose. These wells are critical in identifying and determining the ground water conditions of the company's discovery area and are necessary for our baseline environmental surveys and will form part of our overall environmental assessments.

The Alberta winter 2007/08 drilling program began January 10, 2008 and included the first exploration holes on Oilsands Quest's contiguous lands in Alberta. Prior to the company's 2007 seismic program, these lands had not been explored. Of the 25 holes, 18 encountered meaningful intercepts of McMurray formation (72 percent) at depths of 113 metres (371 feet) to 227 metres (745 feet). The thickness of the bitumen-bearing formation was observed to be between 7 metres (23 feet) and 34 metres (112 feet) with a mean of 15.5 metres (51 feet).

The Alberta drilling program demonstrated continuity of oil sands characteristics extending from Oilsands Quest's Axe Lake Discovery in Saskatchewan westward into Alberta (in close proximity to EnCana's Borealis project). Notably, a key success of the program was achieved by the correlation observed between the drilling results and the estimates made based on the company's 2007 2D seismic program.

A report on the reservoir characteristics such as bitumen saturation and net pay will be released in a few months when geophysical log data and core analysis have been correlated and completed.

Other exploration activities

The table below summarizes Oilsands Quest's completed seismic programs. The recently completed 3D seismic programs in Saskatchewan and Alberta were world-scale in size and utilized CGG Veritas' highest quality, three-component 3D technology. The 1,693 kilometres (1,053 miles) of lines cut for the 3D program were low-impact and environmentally friendly. The 3D program covered over 24 square kilometres (15 square miles) in Saskatchewan and 10 square kilometres (6 square miles) in Alberta. The data from this program has been processed and interpretation of the data is now being completed.

Oilsands Quest was able to begin its Saskatchewan winter drilling program earlier than the general industry (in September 2007) because of the infrastructure the company has created and its ability to comply with Saskatchewan's environmental and drilling regulations.

During the winter, two camp facilities were operated by the company in Saskatchewan. The South Camp is now closed for the season. The Base Camp is still open and functional. Weather permitting, activities are expected to resume sometime in May or June.

Update on estimation of bitumen resources

Oilsands Quest is committed to complying with the evolving regulatory requirements regarding resource and reserve reporting in matters such as resource classification and terminology, including the new rules governing disclosure of resource estimates set forth in December 2007 amendments to National Instrument 51-101. The company believes its activities this past year have been successful in discovering additional resources in both Alberta and Saskatchewan and Oilsands Quest is working with its independent evaluators to prepare an estimate of such resources in accordance with the framework mandated by National Instrument 51-101. The company intends to provide an updated estimate which will reflect the data obtained from the 2007/08 winter program when it has completed consultations with its independent evaluators.

Ölpreis könnte bei negativen Nachrichten auf $200 zusteuern

New York (BoerseGo.de) - Zum Preis für Rohöl sehen Experten im Falle weiterer negativer Nachrichten die Chance auf 200 Dollar, nachdem im Vormonat die Marke von 120 Dollar nach oben getestet worden ist. Es sei davon auszugehen, dass der Ölpreis in der Vorwoche im Zuge einer Erholung des Dollars und relativ positiver US-Lagerbestandsdaten nur eine kurzfristige Korrektur nach unten vollzogen hat. Gegen eine größere Abwärtskorrektur würden geopolitische Gründe sprechen. So sei in dieser Hinsicht mit einer deutlichen Verschlechterung der Nachrichtenlage zu rechnen.
http://www.worldofinvestment.com/forum/OELPREISENTWICKLUNG/9…
In den vergangenen Tagen sah sich der Ölkonzern Royal Dutch Shell mit Anschlägen auf Ölbohranlagen im weltweit achtgrößten Ölförderland Nigeria konfrontiert. Ein Unternehmenssprecher erklärte gegenüber Reuters, wonach durch eine Verschärfung der Sicherheitslage die Ölförderung in Nigeria gedrosselt worden ist. In dem Land nehme die Unsicherheit in kontinuierlichen Ausmaß zu. Die Attacken auf westliche Öleinrichtungen dürften vermutlich weiter steigen.



Zudem weisen jüngste Berichte aus Mexico auf eine geringer werdende Ölproduktion des Landes hin. Im ersten Quartal sind die Ölexporte auf Jahressicht um 12 Prozent gesunken. Der Rückgang ist vor allem auf den Umstand zurückzuführen, dass die Förderung aus dem größten Ölfeld des Landes deutlich abzunehmen beginnt.

Darüberhinaus hat Russland eine Steuer auf Ölexporte um 17 Prozent angehoben. Auf diesem Weg versuche die russische Regierung die hohen Öleinnahmen noch aufzubessern.

[oilrig]

bis zur Bekanntgabe der Ergebnisse der Winterbohrungen scheint es ja noch weiterhin seitwärts zu gehen.

Um die Phantasie bis dahin anzuregen:



On May 5th, Oilsands Quest (BQI) put out a press release detailing 6 new names for various parts of its acreage. Prior to the press release, the company primarily spoke only about its focus, in-situ oil sands project, Axe Lake, which resides on its Saskatchewan acreage. But now, the company has 6 new names, three of which further break down its Axe Lake project (Axe Lake 1, Axe Lake 2 and Axe Lake 3) and three names that refer to different areas of its Alberta acreage (Raven's Ridge 1, Raven's Ridge 2 and Wallace Creek).

On the surface, some may argue that the press release may not seem like a big event. However, I beg to differ. After more than 2 years of exploration and delineation drilling work, Oilsands Quest is on the cusp of securing its first joint venture partner on its Axe Lake project. The signing of a JV partner is a significant event in that a successful partnering would validate BQI's business model (which, in a nutshell, is to explore, delineate and partner various parts of its massive 753,000 acres of oil sands-bearing land). Perhaps more importantly, it would validate the attractiveness of BQI's oil sands acreage, which straddles the Alberta/Saskatchewan border.

So let's get to the question at hand and the title of this article, "What's in a Name?" Given that BQI has recently drilled 25 holes and shot 33 miles of seismic data on its Alberta acreage over the 2007/2008 winter drilling season, I believe that the new names signal that the company believes that it has material amounts of bitumen, or oil sands, on some of its newly-named land parcels. That could result in the company officially announcing a 2nd or 3rd discovery (in addition to Axe Lake) very shortly.

To add to that, I believe that the new names imply that the company will soon be providing investors a positive update from its recent drilling efforts, in particular, on its Alberta acreage (in its Raven Ridge 1 or Raven Ridge 2 areas). Up until now, the company has talked about only one particular oil sands project, Axe Lake, which resides on the Saskatchewan side of the border. That project received its name in January 2007, about a year after BQI began drilling the area and only 2 months before it was deemed by management to be holding about 1.3 billion barrels of oil sands resource (which was confirmed later by third party consultant, McDaniels in November 2007). Given that management has preliminarily estimated that its total Alberta acreage could hold up to 4.5 billion barrels, I would not be surprised to see a more specific estimate for the Raven Ridge area sometime soon.

So "What's in a Name?" My opinion is that it could be newly-identified discoveries and increases in oil sands resource estimates near term.

jep verwässerung also... so long.. ich lass mal meine order 4,11 usd drinstehen.

was denkst geht sie unter 4 ? immerhin wohl keine warrants

finde die story einfach ganz passabel. sollte der ölpreis ähnlich hoch bleiben über die jahre wird das teil ein tenbagger

Habe auch nichts von Warrants in den News gelesen (und mich darüber gewundert), aber vielleicht kommen ja noch weitere Details zum pp heraus. Ohne Warrants ist an der Bay Street bei private placements jedenfalls unüblich, und wenn es wirklich so ist, ein riesiger Vertrauensvorschuss vom Eric!

Schön finde ich auch, dass nur Sprott gezeichnet hat und kein Konsortium! Es bedurfte scheinbar keiner weiteren Bieter um das pp komplett zu schliessen, und dann nimmt man halt die erste Adresse...!

Alles zusammen (Sprott, keine Warrants, nur ein Bieter) ist IMO ein Ritterschlag für Chris Hopkins und das Projekt und das lässt für die test production bereits Gutes erwarten.

Die 4,20 CAD vom pp sehe ich jetzt als untere Unterstützung an...!

jep beim zweiten lesen empfand ich das als big good news. grad wegen sprott und den nicht vorhandenen warrants. hab das eigentlich noch nicht gesehen bei sprott. die verfolge ich ohnehin immer sehr gerne. ist letztlich die allerbeste adresse überhaupt. wenn der kanadische Buffett zuschlägt na dann

intraday ging´s auf 4,51 usd hoch sk 4,31 usd.
werd´s mal für morgen zu 4,33 usd reinstellen.
ich hoffe ich komm noch zum zug. 4,20 seh ich auch als untere unterstützung.

ich find die story einfach krass, wenn auch natürlich sehr spekulativ. aber die chancen auf ein selbstläufer dank des hohen ölpreises.

oder mit weniger Chancen bereits weiter fortgeschritten.
Bin auch mit einer grösseren Posi drin...!

ist letztlich die allerbeste adresse überhaupt.
Jepp, ist aber auch ein grosses Risiko, denn wenn Eric anfängt zu verkaufen...

Ich beobachte Oilsands Quest nun auch eine weile, die Story klingt ja fantastisch - was mich aber momentan stört ist, dass es hier wohl erst in 5 -10 Jahren richtig los geht.
Ich weis der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm, aber kurz bis mittelfristig gibt es womöglich rentablere Ibvestments oder ...

Ich lass mich aber gerne eines besseren belehren.

Oilsands Quest and Northern Village of La Loche agree to formalize economic relationship
Tuesday May 13, 10:40 am ET
Amex: BQI

CALGARY, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oilsands Quest Inc. (Amex: BQI - News) and the Northern Village of La Loche, Saskatchewan, announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") regarding the establishment of an economic relationship between the two parties. La Loche is the largest community in close proximity to Oilsands Quests' permit lands in northwestern Saskatchewan.

ADVERTISEMENT
The MOU confirms the agreement between the parties to work together to identify and address the economic benefits, as well as environmental, social and other potential impacts on La Loche of Oilsands Quest's exploration activities on its permit lands. By way of the MOU, the parties agree to make reasonable commercial efforts to negotiate a formal exploration agreement that will deal with these matters and, furthermore, that the relationship and participation in a formal agreement will be available to all neighboring communities that are adjacent to and affected by Oilsands Quest's exploration activities.

"I am pleased with the progress we have made in negotiations with Oilsands Quest," said Georgina Jolibois, Mayor of the Northern Village of La Loche. "The MOU is an important milestone. It recognizes the social, economic and environmental impacts that need to be addressed, and it offers new business, education and employment opportunities for local residents, along with new resources to direct to community infrastructure. It also acknowledges the potential impacts and benefits to surrounding communities, which we believe are equally important. We look forward to completing an exploration agreement with Oilsands Quest that embodies the positive principles set out in the MOU."

Christopher H. Hopkins, President & Chief Executive Officer of Oilsands Quest Inc., is also very pleased with the MOU. "This will be a precedent-setting agreement that we believe will set the standard for establishing a meaningful, jointly beneficial socio-economic relationship with our neighboring communities," he said. "We look at this as an opportunity to make a strong commitment to the communities of a large number of our employees, which will help better the lives of our northern employees, their families and neighbors."

At the present time, La Loche and adjacent communities that could participate in the proposed exploration agreement account for approximately 75 per cent of the residents in the area. Since Oilsands Quest began exploration activities on its permit lands in Saskatchewan in 2005, it has followed a policy of employing workers from La Loche and other communities in northwestern Saskatchewan as well as purchasing local goods and services. In the MOU, Oilsands Quest also agrees to assist and cooperate with La Loche and the neighboring communities in their dealing with the governments of Saskatchewan and Canada in relation to the regional environment, economic development, employment for residents, infrastructure, education and training funding, and other relevant policies and programs.

ja immer gucken was die großen machen.
hatte canadian zinc gekauft zum zweiten mal weil sprott da auch massig investiert ist. die zahlten aber 30-40% mehr als ich(allerdings bekamen sie auch warrants wie eigentlich sonst ja auch immer)
der kurs ging nach deren invest schnell runter. und als ich sie hatte bzw noch habe immer weiter runter. bzw sprottkurs/2 sogar. hab nochmal nachgelegt. dann kam die meldung canadian plant aktien zurückzukaufen (zum ca. 20 facher tagesumsatz) seit dem steigts wieder.
garantie gibt´s halt keine. auch die großen liegen mal falsch. wobei ich denke dass canadian noch zum tenbagger wird.

zum k**** was arbeiten an geld kosten kann. hätte meine tan-liste mitnehmen sollen. mein limit 4,34 usd bei 4,36 fing es heute an und lief auf 4,80 usd.
hab grad meine order gekillt und ne neue reingetan. zu 4,74 usd bin ich jetzt mal mit 500 stückchen dabei und schau dem treiben zu. nachkauf geplant. vielleicht kriegt man sie ja nochmal grob zum sprottkurs von 4,20 usd.
da der wert aber recht unbekannt ist/war kann es auch sein dass sie erstmal richtung 6-7 usd weiterlaufen. bin mal gespannt.

Imperial Oil Loses Battle for Oil-Sands Water Permit (Update1)

By Ian McKinnon

May 14 (Bloomberg) -- Imperial Oil Ltd., Canada's largest oil company, lost a legal bid to overturn a federal regulatory decision that could delay a planned C$8 billion ($7.98 billion) oil-sands project in Alberta.

The government acted properly to cancel a water permit because another court found flaws in an environmental report on the Kearl tar-sands project, Federal Court Justice Douglas Campbell said today in a ruling on the court's Web site.

``Since the report is incomplete it must be completed, and once completed it must be, yet again, placed before'' the federal government for approval before a new water permit is issue by the fisheries department, Justice Campbell wrote.

The Calgary-based oil company on March 20 received a letter from the government withdrawing a fish habitat water permit needed for the Kearl mine in northern Alberta. Imperial has said in court losing the authorization may delay development of Kearl by a year or more.

Imperial is studying the decision and it's too early to say if the ruling will be appealed, spokesman Gordon Wong said today in a telephone interview.

``I can't really speculate about the impact on the schedule at this point,'' he said. ``We'll be working through what it potentially means'' to the project's schedule.

The company will do as much work on the site as possible without the permit, Wong said.

No More Flexibility

Imperial had used up all the timing flexibility built into this stage of the development, the company's lawyer said at a court hearing on May 7 and 8 in Calgary. Imperial is 70 percent owned by Exxon Mobil Corp.

``We'll be working with the federal government in order to comply with the process required'' to get a new permit, Imperial's Wong said. ``There's a process in place and we'll follow the process.''

The permit was pulled after a judge in March ordered a provincial-federal review panel to justify its finding that the mine won't have a significant adverse impact on air quality.

Kearl's regulatory approval was challenged by a coalition of groups including the Pembina Institute for Appropriate Development, a non-profit Alberta-based group that researches environmental policy.

A company decision on proceeding with Kearl, which could start production in 2011, may be made in the third quarter, incoming Chief Executive Officer Bruce March told reporters on March 26 during a press conference.

Kearl is proposed to initially produce 100,000 barrels a day of extra-heavy oil from tar-like deposits.

Greenhouse Gas

The mine will be responsible for average emissions of 3.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents a year, or about the same amount of pollution produced annually by 800,000 cars, according to Imperial's estimates.

``There's a recognition that we need a higher standard associated environmental assessment of oil-sands projects,'' said Simon Dyer, Pembina's director of oil sands. ``From a greenhouse gas perspective, you're going to see more of these challenges until we get adequate mitigation that does actually result in real and absolute reductions in greenhouse gas pollutants.''

Imperial controls 25 percent of joint venture Syncrude Canada Ltd., the largest oil-sands producer in the world. The company also owns four refineries and about 1,900 Esso-branded fuel stations across Canada.

Imperial rose 5 cents to C$57.99 at 1:58 p.m. on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The stock has gained 6.2 percent this year.

The case is between Imperial Oil Resources Ventures Ltd. and Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, T-460-08. Federal Court of Canada (Ottawa).

Nur könnte am Gerücht tatsächlich was dran sein, denn oft ist es so:

From Seeking Alpha.

Oilsands Quest (BQI) –Apropos of that, unusual action carried over to another “Canadian oil sands” ticker Oilsands Quest, which explores and develops oil shale in Saskatchewan, where many of these heavy reserves are located, and develops petrochemical derivatives used for feedstock. Shares rose 1% to $4.72 in by early afternoon, but it was a quadrupling in option trading against the normal daily level that nabbed our attention – especially as it appeared centered in calls predicting a return to mid-2006 price levels for Oilsands Quest. The October 7.50 calls, nearly $3 out of the money, traded to the middle of the market for 30 cents per contract, on volume equal to more than half the open interest. While this may represent a closing purchase or covered call written against a long position in the stock, it’s worth noting the pronounced elevation in implied volatility – at nearly 58% it shows option traders pricing in a quarter more likelihood for volatile price movement than shares have shown historically. The fact that option traders hold 5 times as many call positions as puts suggests many traders are confident that this risk lies to the upside.

Antwort:
Hopefully, the rumors are based on some truth but I've been following this company for 2+ years and I've seen these unexplained Friday price spikes several times only to be disappointed by the price action the following week. This time might be different but time will tell. Regards.....

nein, das kanns nicht gewesen sein gestern, die hatten zwei Monate Zeit gehabt

Forgettabout it.... "NOT a Lot" of shares CLO ETF BQI 9% of the holdings

Now if someone would please correct me if I'm wrong, as I might well be
~I calculated have the fund has added 140,000 extra shares since March 31st

FUND SIZE ~21,000,000 (Not large)

BQI ~ 6% March 31st of Fund size
~9% as of present

say for instance average purchase price of 4.40

21,000,000 * .06 =$1,260,000 = 286360 shares in March

21,000,000* .09= $1,890,000 = 429545 shares now

~143,000 extra shares......"Not a lot" really

no. shares traded in the Market Friday 7,344,812

ie Something else caused the rise, so let's get over CLO........

Great potential stock here I believe

IMHO etc etc

Something is Brewing at Oilsands Quest

(Beyond Cramer's Endorsement)

by: Seymour Prophet posted on: June 22, 2008 | about stocks: BQI

On Friday, after trading down after lunch time (eastern time), Oilsands Quest (BQI) rallied from being down $0.12 to ending the day up $0.39, or by 6.7%.

After the close, it became apparent why. Clearly, someone got word that Jim Cramer would be talking about the stock in his segment. Jim Cramer mentioned BQI very favorably in a 6 ½ minute segment of his “Speculation Friday” show. In the segment, he mentioned that BQI could be a takeout target and could be worth about $16 dollars per share. He also said that, even if you discount the stock by 50%, he said it should be worth $8.34 per share. I would think that BQI could open up strong on Monday on the endorsement by Cramer.

From the volume on the stock (the stock has traded between 5-7 million shares per day over the last 6 trading sessions) and from the volume on the call options (the October $7.50 calls have been particularly active), I’ve got to believe there is still something other than Cramer’s mention of the company brewing. With the company presenting at two private conferences over the next few weeks, I would venture to guess a favorable operational update providing additional bitumen resource estimates could be imminent. We'll have to wait and see if I'm correct.

McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. has conducted an independent resource estimate of a portion of Oilsands Quest's permit lands, based on data obtained from the results of drilling up to March 26, 2008 (the end of the winter 2007/08 drilling program) and other sources and including the physical examination of cores and geophysical logs. McDaniel & Associates has reported the estimates of discovered and undiscovered resources (see Definitions section below) for a portion of the Axe Lake Discovery and a portion of the Raven Ridge Discovery. The estimates are effective as of April 30, 2008 and were prepared as of June 23, 2008. The table above includes a comparison to the independent resource estimate of the Axe Lake Discovery prepared by McDaniel & Associates in October 2007 based on the results of the winter 2006/2007 drilling program.

The estimates reflect Oilsands Quest's 100% interest in the Axe Lake and Raven Ridge Discoveries and represent only those resources that have been independently evaluated. Independent estimates of the resource potential of Oilsands Quest's other lands will follow when complete.

The area of the discovered resource estimate within the Axe Lake Discovery covers approximately 41 sections of Permits PS00208 and PS00210 located within Townships 94 and 95, Ranges 24 and 25W3 in Saskatchewan, approximately 115 kilometres (69 miles) northeast of Fort McMurray. The area of the discovered resource estimate within the Raven Ridge Discovery covers approximately 10 sections located within Townships 93 and 94, Range 1W4 in Alberta, directly to the east of the Axe Lake Discovery area (plus 38 sections for the undiscovered resource estimate). For a map of the Axe Lake Discovery and Raven Ridge Discovery areas, please see the company's website.

The total area covered by these discovered resource estimates represents approximately 4.6% of Oilsands Quest's total contiguous permit and license lands (discovered plus undiscovered represents approximately 8%). Other permit, license and lease lands, including areas that Oilsands Quest considers highly prospective based on extensive seismic and other data, have not been evaluated at this time.

Bitumen resources within the portion of the Axe Lake Discovery area reviewed by McDaniel & Associates have been classified as discovered resources due to the density of delineation drilling on this property. Bitumen resources within the portion of the Raven Ridge Discovery area have been classified as both discovered resources and undiscovered resources, as much of the Raven Ridge area remains undrilled at this time (see definitions of "discovered resources" and "undiscovered resources", and related definitions, below). With respect to the discovered resources, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. With respect to the undiscovered resources, there is no certainty that any portion of the resources will be discovered and, if discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.

These estimates of discovered and undiscovered bitumen resources have not yet been sub-classified based on recoverable volumes, as additional reservoir data is required to determine the optimal in-situ exploitation method for the Axe Lake and Raven Ridge Discoveries. The estimates have been prepared and presented in accordance with the Canadian standards set out in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGEH") and National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101"). In December 2007, NI 51-101 was amended to provide further guidance on standards of disclosure of this nature. A key element of the new amended standards prescribes that estimates of bitumen resources must relate to the most specific categorization of resources, as set out in the COGEH and must identify what portion of the estimate is attributable to each category. Under the COGEH classification system, "discovered resources" are sub-classified further as "contingent resources" and "discovered unrecoverable resources" (with respect to "undiscovered resources", the equivalent sub-classification is "prospective resources" and "undiscovered unrecoverable resources"). The determination of which portions of the discovered and undiscovered resources at Axe Lake and Raven Ridge can be deemed to be contingent and prospective, respectively, (i.e. "recoverable") and which portions of the estimates are deemed to be unrecoverable at this time requires that the evaluator prepare an estimate of this proportionate breakdown (see definitions of "discovered resources", "undiscovered resources", "contingent resources", "prospective resources" and related definitions below).

McDaniel & Associates is of the opinion that significant portions of the discovered and undiscovered bitumen resources at Axe Lake and Raven Ridge are potentially recoverable using existing demonstrated technologies. However, insufficient reservoir data exists at this time to allow McDaniel & Associates to estimate the quantities of recoverable and unrecoverable volumes underlying the current estimates of discovered resources and undiscovered resources at Axe Lake and Raven Ridge. Oilsands Quest and McDaniel & Associates expect that additional data will be derived from the reservoir test program Oilsands Quest intends to conduct during 2008/2009. The additional data to be gathered from this reservoir test program will include reservoir pressure, additional permeability and mobility data, flow data and bitumen/till interface behavior. McDaniel & Associates advises that this data is required in order to properly estimate the proportions of recoverable and unrecoverable volumes. It is expected that when this data is available, Oilsands Quest will engage an independent qualified reserves evaluator to provide the further sub-classification of the discovered and undiscovered resource estimates at Axe Lake and Raven Ridge as contingent resources and prospective resources.

Similar to other bitumen accumulations within the eastern portion of Alberta, the Axe Lake and Raven Ridge Discovery areas lack a distinct overlying shale zone. McDaniel & Associates is of the opinion that the absence of a distinct overlying shale zone may preclude the use of certain high-pressure in-situ recovery methods, but that the quality of the reservoirs and high bitumen saturations present at the Axe Lake and Raven Ridge areas provide the potential for extraction using a number of existing technologies as well as other low pressure in-situ extraction methods currently in pilot testing within other areas of the Athabasca Oil Sands region. At this time, Oilsands Quest is actively engaged in executing its reservoir test program and related laboratory simulation studies that will support the technical review and analysis of the suitability of each of these methods for extraction operations at Axe Lake and Raven Ridge. Potential extraction methods that may be applicable to Axe Lake and Raven Ridge include low-pressure SAGD operations, enhanced SAGD, SAGD combined with methane injection to manage steam-chamber growth, and electro-thermal heating. Oilsands Quest has received interim results from laboratory simulation and computer simulation studies that indicate there is good potential for bitumen recovery using hot water and/or steam and steam/solvents. Further, these studies indicate that it is reasonable to expect that steam pressures can be managed and controlled to ensure that penetration above the McMurray bitumen-containing formation is limited and that heat losses to the overburden would be minimal. These simulation studies are being conducted to assist in the specification of pressure and temperature conditions that will form part of the on-site reservoir test program later this year.

Preliminary project engineering

Oilsands Quest and its engineering consultants have embarked upon preliminary engineering of the first 30,000 barrels per day commercial project planned for the development of Axe Lake in the specific area where the first series of reservoir tests are being conducted. Management also continues to conduct advanced economic feasibility and risk assessment studies for full commercial project development, including assessment of a "fast-track" approach to a first prospective project, which could result in completion during 2012 or 2013. Oilsands Quest has also commissioned a study of infrastructure and markets by Purvin & Gertz Inc. to assist in its planning process. Development of a commercial project remains subject to regulatory and other contingencies such as successful reservoir tests, board sanctioning and financing.

Current status of Axe Lake Discovery reservoir test program

Site preparation and construction of facilities for Oilsands Quest's reservoir test program at Axe Lake commenced in January 2008 and were halted through April and May for spring break-up. Activity recommenced in June 2008 and is ongoing at present. The large steam generator Final Acceptance Test was successfully concluded and the steam generator is being transported to site. Other major equipment will also arrive on site during facilities installation which commences first week of July. Steam and hot water injection into the reservoir on Test Site 1 is planned for late summer 2008.

Phase One of the Axe Lake Discovery reservoir test program will consider up to three test sites (with varying overburden and pay thicknesses) with one vertical injection well and five vertical observation wells per test site. The purpose of Phase One of the Axe Lake test program is to measure resource-specific heat and fluid movement under specific operating conditions on a field scale to complement the company's ongoing simulation and laboratory analysis studies. Phase One has received regulatory approval. Current plans call for placement of horizontal wells in late summer 2008, with steam and hot water injection to begin following initial results from the Phase One program at Test Site 1 subject to the requisite approvals.

Phase Two of the test program will consider expanding the three test sites with horizontal wells and/or injecting mobilization agents other than steam. The purpose of Phase Two is to evaluate and analyze information gathered from Phase One regarding mobilization with steam and/or hot water and to measure field-scale response using horizontal wells. Phase Three of the Axe Lake Discovery test program is currently in the scoping phase; options being considered range from a continued reservoir test program to a technology feasibility pilot to a full commercial demonstration project.

Definitions

Discovered resources (equivalent to discovered bitumen initially-in-place) is defined within the COGEH as that quantity of bitumen that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained within known accumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of discovered resources is referred to as production, contingent resources and/or reserves; the remainder is classified as unrecoverable. Discovered resources are the summation of all bitumen present, without qualitative or quantitative assessment to determine the exploitable portion of that resource.

Undiscovered resources (equivalent to undiscovered bitumen initially-in-place) is defined within the COGEH as that quantity of bitumen that is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The recoverable portion of undiscovered resources is referred to as prospective resources; the remainder is classified as unrecoverable. Undiscovered resources are the summation of all bitumen thought to be present on undelineated lands, without qualitative or quantitative assessment to determine the exploitable portion of that resource.

Contingent Resources is defined within the COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political, and regulatory matters, or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. Contingent resources are further classified in accordance with the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status.

Prospective Resources is defined within the COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty associated with recoverable estimates assuming their discovery and development and may be sub-classified based on project maturity.

Discovered unrecoverable resources (equivalent to discovered unrecoverable petroleum initially-in-place) is defined within the COGEH as that portion of discovered resources which is estimated, as of a given date, not to be recoverable by future development projects. A portion of these quantities may become recoverable in the future as commercial circumstances change or technological developments occur; the remaining portion may never be recovered due to the physical/chemical constraints represented by subsurface interaction of fluids and reservoir rocks.

The discovered and undiscovered resource estimates described in this news release were determined in accordance with the COGEH using the following mutually exclusive categories:


- Low Estimate: This is considered to be a conservative estimate of the
quantity of bitumen that exists within the accumulation, which under
probabilistic methodology reflects a P90 confidence level.

- Best Estimate: This is considered to be the best estimate of the
quantity of bitumen that exists within the accumulation. Under
probabilistic methodology, this term is a measure of the central
tendency of the uncertainty distribution (most likely/mode,
P50/median, or arithmetic average/mean).

- High Estimate: This is considered to be an optimistic estimate of the
quantity of bitumen that exists within the accumulation, which under
probabilistic methodology reflects a P10 confidence level.

Canadian disclosure standards

In reviewing this news release, it is necessary to recognize the differences between resources (which are reported as required under Canadian law) and reserves (which are not being reported). Investors are cautioned that the discussion of the report in this news release does not contain any information about deposits that would qualify as deposits of "reserves" under SEC Securities and Exchange Commission Industry Guide 7. Further, the terms "discovered resource" "undiscovered resource" and related definitions are Canadian terms defined in COGEH. COGEH standards differ from the terminology and standards set forth in Industry Guide 7 and, as a consequence, the information contained in this press release may not be comparable to information provided by other similar companies in the United States. Investors should not assume that any part of the deposits discussed in this news release that are categorized as "discovered resources" or "undiscovered resources" according to Canadian standards will ever be considered "reserves" under applicable Canadian or U.S. standards. The commercial viability of discovered and undiscovered resources is affected by numerous factors which are beyond the Company's control and which cannot be predicted, such as the potential for further financing, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing or other relevant issues. The estimates of discovered and undiscovered resources for the lands described in this news release do not reflect the same confidence level for Oilsands Quest total lands.

Huch, so lange und ausführliche Updates ist man von Oilsands Quest gar nicht gewohnt, vielleicht haben die Investmentbanken mal ein bisschen bei Hopkins getrommelt, um die Transparenz und Attraktivität dieser Aktie zu steigern.

Soweit gibt es allerdings keine weltbewegenden Neuigkeiten. Das Ressourcenupdate bestätigt aber das Vorhandensein von 1,5-2,5Mrd Barrel Ölsand in Axe Lake. Erfreulich finde ich die zusätzlichen 0,5 bis 3,5Mrd Barrel Undiscovered Bitumen, das lässt auf Einige Reservenerhöhungen für Axe lake hoffen.

Ein kleiner Wehmutstropfen ist, dass die 30.000Barrel In-Situ Förderung in Axe lake wahrscheinlich erst 2012/2013 vollständig Online gehen. Ich hatte insgeheim gehofft, das würde schneller gehen, aber bei Oilsands Quest ist man ja sowieso geduldig

First Nations in Taiwan oil deal
Asian refiner to invest $800M in Saskatchewan
Jon Harding, Calgary Herald
Published: Saturday, July 19, 2008

The other side of a mysterious oilsands story out of Taipei emerged

Friday when the head of a Saskatchewan-based First Nations business collaboration revealed four of the province's aboriginal communities have struck a partnership with Taiwan's state-owned petroleum refiner.

Any pursuit of oilsands development in Saskatchewan by CPC Corp., one of Taiwan's largest refiners and gasoline retailers, will be done as a joint-venture alongside Indian Oilsands Corp., said Ken Thomas, a Saskatoon-based economic development expert who helped unite the parties and who has previous business ties to Taiwan.

"We have met several times with Saskatchewan officials," Thomas said. "Deputy ministers and such from the premier's office, the Department of Enterprise and Innovation and Department of Energy and Resources. They welcomed the initiative regarding the project, which primarily has been led by myself and Chief Richard Gamble of Beardy's and Okemasis First Nations (near Duck Lake north of Saskatoon)."

Thomas is former president of the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations and a past chairman of Aboriginal Business Canada.

He said CPC committed to invest about $800 million over the next five years to acquire and explore potential oilsands leases in Saskatchewan, where one company, Calgary-based Oilsands Quest Inc., has quietly made substantial strides of late developing the province's first oilsands project.


Oilsands Quest is only weeks away from beginning to inject steam underground at a pilot project at its Axe Lake discovery, which lies northeast of oilsands hub Fort McMurray and across the border from the heart of the Athabasca trend.

Axe Lake holds some six billion barrels of oilsands resource, according to recent independent estimates.

Thomas said as many as 10 Saskatchewan First Nations communities have been asked to join the Indian Oilsands initiative.

He said they will acquire as many as 100,000 hectares of land through the federal Treaty Land Entitlement program, pool it within the CPC-Indian Oilsands partnership and pursue a "fully integrated" development strategy that would include oilsands production, upgrading of bitumen and refining.

"We will be aggressive buyers, starting with the August land sale," he said.

"We plan to acquire a series of oilsands leases with high potential adjacent to the Oilsands Quest leases near La Loche, Sask.," Thomas said.

CPC Corp. said Thursday in a statement in Mandarin on its company website that it had struck a preliminary accord with a Canadian company on possible joint exploration for oilsands. The statement cited Ken Thomas as a Canadian contact.

The state-controlled oil company is scouring the globe for reserves and like many national oil companies, it has made overtures about wanting to join the global rush to the Canadian oilsands.

"We're trying our best in finding partners" for oil exploration, Jessica Tang, a CPC spokeswoman said, adding details on the collaboration with Indian Oilsands were not yet mapped out.

The story raised eyebrows within the Saskatchewan government's department of energy and resources.

Jon Harding, Calgary Herald
Published: Saturday, July 19, 2008

"If such a proposal is going forward, it's doing so at a very preliminary stage," said Roy Schneider, spokesman for the Saskatchewan government. "We do know there are a number of bands in the province, however, that have shown an interest in pursuing an oilsands project and in attracting some foreign capital to help them do it."

Thomas said his group has made a pitch to Oilsands Quest, asking to buy a piece of the Axe Lake development.

Oilsands Quest is on the verge of a pilot project to test the economic viability of a full-scale commercial development that would initially produce 30,000 barrels of bitumen a day, and could grow to 100,000 barrels, using the steam-assisted gravity drainage production method.

The Calgary company's own hunt for a joint-venture partner recently intensified, founder and chief executive Chris Hopkins said.

Hopkins recalled being approached informally by Thomas but he said Oilsands Quest is looking to partner with a global super major "that can provide the engineering and management of cost-control systems.

"Axe Lake is capable of sustaining production of 100,000 barrels a day and a development of that scale requires cost controls and systems, which is experience that we simply don't have," Hopkins said. "You want a major multinational oil company that has that kind of experience under its belt as a partner.

"I'd say I'm always pleased that there is an interest in oilsands in Saskatchewan. But I can't comment on them because I know nothing about them. I'm not even familiar with the Taiwanese company."

CALGARY -- Toronto stocks and oil prices extended their pullback yesterday, but two leading investment houses predicted a quick rebound in crude by year-end.

Meanwhile, analysts said the oil-price slump would have to be much deeper before affecting Canada's oil sands industry.

The price of oil fell another US36¢ yesterday in New York, to settle at US$109.35 a barrel, as Hurricane Gustav avoided oil production facilities in the U. S. Gulf of Mexico. The decline sent the Standard & Poor's/TSX composite index down a further 1.2% yesterday, to 13,137.72, led by energy and raw materials producers.

Credit Suisse predicted the correction is on its last legs since the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries cartel will cut production if prices sink below US$100.

Tobias Merath, head of commodities research at Zurichbased Credit Suisse, said the bulk of the oil correction "is behind us."

"OPEC countries are producing quite a bit of oil since March and that is apparently working. But the moment oil drops below US$100, they will be quick to cut back production," he told Reuters. "We expect a recovery in oil prices in 2009. We expect prices to hover between US$115 and US$120 in 2009."

New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc. bet crude would rebound by year-end and set new records about US$149 a barrel. Closely watched Goldman analysts Jeffrey Currie and David Greely said in a Sept. 2 note that emerging markets oil demand growth "against a backdrop of continuing non-OPEC supply disruptions will continue to support prices … we continue to expect this will require WTI crude oil prices to move back to US$149 a barrel by the end of the year."

The oil bulls -- the company said in March that US$200-a-barrel oil was possible in the face of a major disruption of supplies -- said Gustav, which idled oil production platforms, was among a long list of disruptions that removed 40 million barrels of oil from global markets last month.

Chris Theal, managing director of research at Tristone Capital Inc., said oil prices would have to sink below US$90 for oil sands developers in Canada to rethink plans.

That's an unlikely scenario, given that oil prices are influenced by the cost of global marginal production, of which Canada's oil sands are a big part.

"When you look at our cost structure, we … are in a US$100-to-US$110 range for projects to make a cost-of-capital return in the oilsands, [which account for] 40% of non-OPEC growth in the next five to seven years. This market is going to normalize somewhere in the US$100 to US$110 range."

William Lacey, managing director of research at First-Energy Capital Corp., said oil sands projects can't be switched off and on, depending on oil prices.

"The issue you have with these [projects] is that once you are committed, you are in," he said. "You can't get half into the pool.

"They have already run their economics, and I would argue they have run them at a more conservative prices," than those seen today.

Indeed, Rick George, Suncor Energy Inc. CEO, told an investment-industry conference on Tuesday his company is gearing up for more than $9-billion in spending next year to expand its oil sands projects in Northern Alberta, as part of $20.6-billion in investments to boost its production to 550,000 barrels a day by 2012.

Meanwhile, Ron Brenneman, Petro-Canada CEO, said in a presentation yesterday his company is making progress on plans to produce 350,000 b/d in 10 years from its oil sands developments, including the Fort Hills project.

Will Roach, CEO of UTS Energy Corp., a partner in Fort Hills with Petro-Canada, said oil sands investments remain attractive with oil prices at US$100 a barrel. As long as there is confidence that over the long term prices will stay above US$60, plans move forward, he said.

Au weia , Allzeittief, das Ölpopeln aus dem Sand wird zu teuer das is es.

[Charly]

Warum ist die Ölgewinnung auf einmal so teuer geworden oder was ist hier der Grund das die Preise gestiegen sind!?

[Schandmaul]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 35.050.339 von Muskalowski am 10.09.08 16:21:18

Das ist -sorry- Unsinn.
Fakt ist, daß Ölgewinnung aus Ölsand selten profitabler war als heute. Ich darf daran erinnern, daß der Ölpreis nach wie vor bei deutlich über 100$ steht und mittel- und langfristig auch bleiben wird.

Für mich gibt es derzeit keinen objektiv nachvollziehbaren Grund für diesen Kurseinbruch.

Solange Aktien-Shorting aber weiterhin legal betrieben werden darf, werden Aktionäre auch in Zukunft im Falle hoher Kursschwankungen bzgl. der Gründe im dunkeln tappen.

Schiebt doch nicht immer alles auf die bösen Spekulanten, hast mal nen Film gesehen wie Öl aus Ölsand gewonnen wird ,da stehen die Monteure mit den Ersatzteilen neben der Öl-Sand Trennung weil der Sand laufend die Rohre zerhaut, ab gesehn von der Umweltzerswtörung in D würde das so gar nicht erst genehmigt werden.Gigantische Waldflächen werden einfach plattgemacht.

[Schandmaul]

Die Ölsandgewinnung hat sich aufgrund von Gesetzesänderungen in Alberta in den letzten Monaten verteuert. Dies betrifft um es mal ganz ausdrücklich zu sagen NICHT die Nachbarprovinz Saskatchewan in der BQI aktiv ist. Eigentlich wird der Ölsandabbau dadurch aus Investoren-Sicht bzgl. Fimen die dort aktiv sind noch attraktiver.

Möchte nicht wissen was da heute wieder für Schweinerein am Markt gelaufen sind, evtl. wissen die Amis mehr.

Der Kurs scheint sich aber wieder gefangen zu haben.

[Schandmaul]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 35.050.948 von Muskalowski am 10.09.08 17:02:05

Spekulanten erscheinen IMHO als mögliche Ursache für diese Schwankungen deutlich plausibler als die Theorie, daß der Ölsandabbau von heute auf morgen angeblich unprofitabel geworden ist und die Investoren dies kollektiv realisiert haben.

Mit plötzlichen Profitabilitäts-Einbußen aus heiterem Himmel hat das ganz sicher nichts zu tun, zumal sie nichts mit der Realität zu tun haben. Die Firmen verdienen selbst in Alberta auch weiterhin blendend, das ist Fakt, von Sask. ganz zu schweigen.

Entweder gab es negative Insinder-News oder jemand hat große Short-Posis auf den Markt geworden. Beides verdient in meinen Augen das Prädikat "Sauerei".

Vielleicht gab es aber auch wieder eine (absehbare)Kapitalerhöhung, wir werden sehen.

Muskalowski deine Schilderung gilt nur füe den tagebau, dafür sind ei Vorkommen von BQI aber defintiv zu tief. Insitu-Förderung ist viel umweltfreundlicher wenn auch teurer, hat aber ein viel höheres Entwicklungspotential als Tagebau.

BQI hat heute ein Statement rausgegeben. Die Finanzierungskosten für die geplanten Erweiterungen sind recht hoch(200 Mio USD++), Barkasse liegt nur bei 70 Mio. Somit wird eine weitere Verwässerung befürchtet, ein großer Fonds hat Gerüchteh zufolge daher das Handtuch Handtuch geworfen und sein Paket bestens verkauft und dann sind so einige Stoploss-Marken wie beim Domino gefallen

Von 50% Tagesverlust sind wir jetzt wieder auf 10%. Also Tief Luft holen und überlegen. Wer hier nur auf einen kurzfristigen Zock aus ist der hat hier sowieso nichts bzw. schon alles verloren

du musst dir natürlich im klaren sein das ölsande ein großes risikoinvestment sind. aber in anbetracht des verbrauchs und der resourcen sollte die dinger zu höheren kosten deutlich profitabel sein in der zukunft.
suncor hat es ja schließlich schon vorgemacht.
hab mal einen bericht gesehen. unglaublich ist der verschleiss der maschinen. der sand reibt alles auf. es muss ständig repariert werden. aber wie gesagt suncor hat es vorgemacht

ein guter einstieg. bei öl 147 hatte ich auch das gefühl es wäre etwas überzockt bin aber dringebleiebn bei oilsands... naja vielleicht kauf ich mal noch nach, trotz cashmangel.

an einem tag vor ein paar tagen fiel sie mal auf 1,65 usd etwa. ganz kurz mal.

[Muskalowski]

Ich könnt mir vorstellen das ein Aufstocken der Bestände in den nächsten Wochen sinnvoll wäre, denn die Aktie hatte in den vergangenen Jahren stets im Winter ihren Höhepunkt(Ausnahme,bis jetzt 2008) was mit dem im Winter stattfindenden Probebohrungen zusammenhängen könnte.
So stell ichs mir vor ohne beraten zu wollen.

Ich fass es nicht! Ohne News steht Oilsands Quest heute unglaublich -25% in den Miesen.

Das MÜSSEN jetzt Kaufkurse sein, ich fress fast einen Besen, wenn nicht! Das ist nur noch Panik pur, wegen dem Aktiencrash an den Weltbörsen. Von der glorreichen Zukunft dieser Aktie ist meiner Ansicht nach kein Zauber verloren.

Oilsands Quest ist jetzt ein Penny Stock (unter 1Euro),unfassbar

Bin mal gespannt, wann die Gegenbewegung nach oben einsetzt und vor Allen Dingen, wie stark diese ausfällt. Kurshalbierungen und Verdopplungen waren ja Gang und Gebe bei dieser Aktie.

Sind aber 10Mrd Barrel gut gesättigter Ölsande von heute auf morgen wertlos?? Wohl kaum!

also wenn öl dreht dann heftig.
mein kursziel für oilsands ende 2009 ist 15 USD
verhundertfachungen sind teilweise nichts in dem sektor. da gab´s dutzende die letzten 1-2 jahre

[myrmidon7]

Moin, hab mal ne Frage:

Mal angenommen der Ölpreis bleibt so um die 50$ oder fällt weiter - wie lange kann BQI dann durchhalten?

Oder andersrum: was kostet BQI ein Barrel in der Produktion und wieviel Cash haben die?

[Schandmaul]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 36.029.539 von myrmidon7 am 21.11.08 10:11:09

Meine letzte Info ist, daß BQI ca 70 Mio $ an Barreserven hat, was laut eigenen Angaben ausreicht, um ca 1 Jahr lang die Ausgaben zu decken. Allerdings solte dabei beachtet werden, daß in den kommenden Wochen die erste Ölförder-Versuchsanlage ihren Betrieb aufnehmen wird, die etliche 1000 Barell Öl am Tag produzieren soll. Das wird für einen ersten recht deutlichen Cash-Flow sorgen und hoffentlich spürbar den Finanzierungs-Druck lindern unter dem BQI seit 3 Jahren steht.

Wenn das erste Öl fließt, sollte die Aktie aufgrund des damit sinkenden Investitionsrisikos und des Proof of concept recht deutlich anziehen.

[Boersenkrieger]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 36.043.980 von Schandmaul am 22.11.08 11:59:00

70 mio usd war auch mein stand... glaube vom september oder so.

die frage ist wie hoch die kosten sein werden. allgemein bei ölsanden ist ja von 40-50 usd die rede, auf bqi bezogen weiss ich es aber nicht.
wäre schön wenn da jemand schlauer wäre. bin bei 4,73 usd eingestiegen kurz nach sprott. mich juckt es stark zum nachkaufen

[Schandmaul]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 36.044.318 von Boersenkrieger am 22.11.08 13:21:36

Interessant. Mein MK liegt bei 4,60 USD

Ich habe allerdings bereits vor 2 Wochen ein kleines Paket nachgekauft und mich gestern über die günstigen Kurse der letzten Tage natürlich etwas geärgert

Denke man wird kaum einen besseren Einstiegszeitpunkt finden können als jetzt, wenn man grundsätzlich bereit ist, das Risiko einzugehen das so ein Explorer nunmal einfach mit sich bringt. Da ich schon nachgekauft habe, werde ich's vorerst wohl mal gut sein lassen, wenn du aber noch ein bißchen Spielgeld übrig hast: Glückwunsch.

Mein letzter Stand für den Break-Even bei BQI lag auch im Bereich von 40-50 USD pro Barell. Im Gegensatz zu Alberta, wo das Steuerniveau mittlerweile die Kosten in die Höhe getrieben hat, sind die Produktionskosten in Saskatchewan noch vergleichsweise moderat.

Ich denke, wir haben beim Ölpreis mittlerweile den Boden gefunden, mittel- und langfristig kann es beim Öl nur Richtung Norden gehen und in diesen Zeiträumen sollte man auch bei BQI denken

[Boersenkrieger]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 36.044.901 von Schandmaul am 22.11.08 16:03:32

spielgeld ist eigentlich nicht mehr übrig. hab aber was verkauft und bald gibts gehalt. von daher geht immer mal was aber eher im lauen bereich. kann sich trozdem mal auszahlen.
BQI reizt dann schon in abetracht der möglichen barrels im boden.

wenn er dreht dann ist er schnell wieder bei 100

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 36.162.200 von Boersenkrieger am 07.12.08 15:47:16

Da der Kurs immer recht hat ,kannst selbst ablesen was die Aktionäre denken,es hängt tatsächlich alles vom Oil Preis ab, bin aber fest der Meinung das jetzt der Boden erreicht ist, denn Öl aus Ölsand nach meinem Kenntnisstand braucht ca. 70- 80 Dollar je Barrel.

[Boersenkrieger]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 36.162.227 von Muskalowski am 07.12.08 15:56:41

ölsand ? ab 50 usd grob solletn die kosten gedeckt sein. lohnenswert vielleicht ab 70 usd.
der kurs hat nie recht, sonst müßte er sich nicht täglich korrigieren.
mal ehrlich die vola ist doch so extrem da ist es besser antizyklisch wie jetzt zu kauefn als wenn öl wieder bei 100 steht. oilsands stand bei über 6 USD. auch damals hatte der kurs absolut recht.
wir haben jettz beim öl die gleiche übertreibung wie im sommer, nur andersrum.
nach großen übertreibungen in die eine richtung kommen die in die andere richtung. danach findet man sich in der mitte irgendwo.
oilsands wird auch mal wieder bei 3 usd stehen.

da sieht man echt wo man lebt
wer im hype kauft kann sich irgendwann die kugel geben.
momentan sind wir antizyklisch und das ist gut so

[myrmidon7]

moin,

mich würde interssieren, wie Quest im Vergleich zu anderen Ölsand-Aktien da steht. In Bezug auf Wirtschaftlichkeit aber vor allem Durchhaltepotential, sollte der Ölpreis auf dem jetzigen Niveau verharren.

Gibts was besseres als Quest?

[Schandmaul]

In Punkto Potential gibt es im Ölsandsektor meines Wissens nichts Vergleichbares.

Wie lange BQI durchhält, hängt derzeit eigentlich überhaupt nicht vom Ölpreis ab, da sie noch gar kein Öl fördern. Eine Kapitalerhöhung dürfte also in jedem Fall unausweichlich sein, die Frage ist nur wieviel Cash sie brauchen.
Demnächst wird eine Versuchsanlage Online gehen, die schon für einen recht ordentlichen Cash-Flow sorgen dürfte. Hat da eigentlich jemand Informationen über den aktuellen Stand der Dinge ?

Entscheidender ist, wo der Ölpreis in rund 2 Jahren stehen wird.

Ich für meinen Teil bin jedenfalls fest davon überzeugt, daß wir bereits kommendes Jahr wieder Ölpreise von um die 100$ sehen werden.

[Schandmaul]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 36.188.871 von Schandmaul am 11.12.08 16:41:08

Noch ein kurzer Gedanke zu BQI:
Meiner ganz persönlichen Meinung nach wird es in den nächsten 1-2 Jahren im Iran ganz gehörig knallen. Da kann man natürlich drüber denken was man will. Was dies für den Ölpreis bedeuten würde kann sich wohl jeder selbst ausmalen.

warum ging es heute runter wo öl deutlich zulegen konnte ?

Oilsands Quest curtails northwest exploration

Company seeks flexibility in dealing with effects of stock market turmoil

By Joanne PaulsonDecember 11, 2008



Oilsands Quest Inc. is scaling back some of its exploration activities in the oilsands-rich area of northwestern Saskatchewan and Alberta but is not laying off any staff, the company said this week.

Current capital and commodity market conditions -- in which stock markets are sinking and the price of oil has dropped to the $42 US per barrel range -- are causing Oilsands Quest to "curtail and or defer some of our expenditure plans for the remainder of the fiscal year."

Oilsands Quest plans to continue some of its activities at the Axe Lake project, where it is proving up the extent of the resource in terms of location, extent and quality. In particular, Oilsands will continue reservoir testing at its test site three.

"These activities will be undertaken with a view to maintaining maximum liquidity and matching the pace of our activities with available funding under current market conditions," said the company in its quarterly report.

The company will delay the startup of vertical well testing at its test site one at Axe Lake until the end of 2009 and delay exploration at the Eagles Nest and Wallace Creek areas. Test site two activities will also be put on hold. At that site, Oilsands Quest planned to test recovery processes using agents other than steam, such as hot propane.

Chris Hopkins, CEO and director of the company, said in an interview the report shows the company is "listening to the market and we're making those changes internally that give us the greatest flexibility to deal with the present market.

"We are in good financial shape with our programs funded for an extended period of time, until mid-2010 at least.

"We're still in business and accomplishing things. That was the message we wanted to deliver, first and foremost, that we're managing our affairs considering this incredible market that we're in.

"We're not going to spend valuable money today in an uncertain world if we can defer and gain better clarity on the markets," he added.

The exploration company had a net loss in the quarter ended Oct. 31 of $43.23 million, or 17 cents per share, compared to a net loss of $20.4 million or 12 cents a share in the same quarter of 2007.

At Dec. 1, the company held cash and short-term investments of $66.1 million in a mixture of Canadian and U.S. funds. The company had working capital of $58 million at the end of October.

Oilsands still has a significant exploration program underway, said Hopkins. An "aggressive" summer exploration program saw 33 holes drilled in Saskatchewan on oilsands and another 11 on the oil shales near Hudson Bay, as well as seismic work. All 11 shale holes successfully hit oil.

"We're going to continue with exploration spending over the winter but at a reduced pace."

Oilsands Quest's near future is not tied closely to the world oil price, since the company is not yet producing the commodity.

"The most significant impacts are attributable to the financial markets, where there is a lot of fear and uncertainty," said Hopkins.

Hopkins also stressed Oilsands Quest will keep on its sizable staff -- numbering more than 100 -- as exploration continues.

Oilsands Quest is traded on the AMEX exchange under the symbol BQI. The stock's 52-week high was $6.95, but it is now trading in the 85-cent range.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 36.291.103 von Charly am 02.01.09 11:55:45

Ich weiß das klingt absurd, aber ich glaube das wird sehr stark vom Ölpreis abhängen. Dieser wiederum wird IMHO schon im ersten Halbjahr 09 wieder auf ein realistisches Niveau anziehen. Sollten davon einmal abgesehen noch weltpolitische Brandherde wie z.B. die Atomkrise im Iran eskalieren, könnten wir sogar neue ATHs sehen - sowohl beim Öl als auch bei BQI.

wenn obama die grüne revolution will und die usa das kyoto protokoll anerkennen sind massive investitionen in den umweltschutz und die verringerung der greenhousegas-emissionen notwendig.
beim thema ölsand wird sich bald die spreu vom weizen trennen.

Ottawa takes aim at coal power
Article Comments (66)
SHAWN MCCARTHY
From Wednesday's Globe and Mail
April 29, 2009 at 1:11 AM EDT
OTTAWA — The federal government is planning sweeping new climate-change regulations for Canada's electricity sector that will phase out traditional coal-fired power.

Any new coal plants will have to include highly expensive – and unproven – technology to capture greenhouse gas emissions and inject it underground for permanent storage, Environment Minister Jim Prentice said in an interview yesterday.

Ottawa also plans to impose absolute emission caps on utilities' existing coal-fired power plants and establish a market-based system to allow them to buy credits to meet those targets, Mr. Prentice said.

Electricity users in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia would be hit hard by the new rules, as their provinces rely on coal for more than 70 per cent of their power, and alternatives will be costly.

“The approach that we've been working towards involves a cap-and-trade system relating to thermal coal, and the requirement of phasing out those facilities as they reach the end of their useful, fully-amortized life,” Mr. Prentice said.

“The concept is that, as these facilities are fully amortized and their useful life fully expended, they would not be replaced with coal,” the minister said.

He added that coal would be an option if it produced near-zero greenhouse gas emissions. The minister was attending a meeting of major emitting countries in Washington.

He said the new regulations will be released later this year – well before he travels to Copenhagen in November for negotiations on a new, global climate change treaty.

The government has already adopted new emission standards for vehicles – following the lead of the United States – and will also release regulations aimed at major industrial emitters, including Alberta's oil sands producers.

It has set a target of having a 90-per-cent emission-free electricity sector by 2025, a goal that will require increased use of nuclear, wind power, hydro and other renewables. Given Canada's long dependence on hydro in Quebec and British Columbia, and nuclear and hydro in Ontario, the country already has one of the least emitting electricity sectors in the developed world.

Still, coal-fired electricity represents roughly 18 per cent of Canada's current emissions, and eight of the 10 largest greenhouse gas emitters in the country are coal-fired power plants. They include Ontario's giant Nanticoke station, which the Liberal government has vowed to close by 2014 in its effort to be coal-free.

somit also wieder eine kaufchance für uns.
(auch wenn die KE und der gezahlte preis enttäuschend sind, aber drum eben 0,75 usd heute)

So,

habe dann mal ne kleine Posi geholt
Ich war eigentlich nur nach einer noch günstig bewerteten Alternative zu Opti Canada und denke hier konnte und kann ich beim jetzigen Kurs wenig falsch machen

Werde mich also in der nächsten zeit auch hier im Thread tummeln, mir jetzt aber mal erstmal alle Backgroundinformationen zu Gemüte führen.

Und zur letzten KE: Also ich kann eigentlich nur sagen, dass momentan solche KE's (trotz besserer Zeiten im Moment) eigentlich doch positiv zu bewerten sind, wenn diese durchgehen. Kapital wird bis zum Start auf jeden Fall noch benötigt, also steigt die Anzahl der Shares auf jeden Fall noch an, und so kommen wir zwar für günstige Shares an Kapital, aber wenigstens kann die Exploration weiter gehen!

Hey, is ja ein richtiger "Outperformer" heute Hoffe mal das geht so weiter, denke die Aktie hat fundamental einiges zu bieten. Und gerade wenn man sieht wie ja Opti abgeht ist hier doch noch einiges möglich.
So langsam kann man ja sogar von sowas wie "Volumen" reden, auch wenn das alles lächerlich ist.
Wünsche allen Leuten hier viel Spaß und Erfolg mit diesem Investment. habe mich endlich durch alle Berichte durchgelesen und werde Neuigkeiten gerne einstellen, sollte ich welche finden.

In diesem Sinne: Have Phun und ein bissl mehr Diskussion bitte ^^

In diesem Thread ist es ja schon länger ruhig geworden. Kein Wunder, der Aktienkurs dümpelt auf Niedrigem Niveau umher und der Schwung und die Euphorie von damals sind verflogen.

Oilsands Quest ist auch nicht unbedingt eine Aktie, bei der man sich jeden Tag informieren muss, es reicht eigendlich, sie als langfristiges, strategisches Investment zu betrachten.

Bei einem neuerlichen Blick auf die Homepage (News) von Oilsands Quest trifft mich nun allerdings der nackte Gesichtsschlag. In der Firmen-Presentation vom 9./10.Januar 2010 lese ich In-Situ, In-Situ, In-Situ, In-Situ, In-Situ.

Nur noch ausschliesslich In-Situ Planungen!!!! Kein Wort mehr von einer langfristig geplanten klassischen Ölsandproduktion wie zb CNQ oder Suncor es praktizieren.

Seht selbst nach:

TD Unconventional Oil & Gas Forum 2010 Presentation 5MB!
http://www.oilsandsquest.com/pdf/TD-London-Jan10.pdf


Der Vogel wird sprichwörtlich auf Seite 20 abgeschossen, in der Bildlich die Klassische Ölsandindustrie verhöhnt wird und wie anscheinend sehr umweltschädlich sie ist Ich interpretiere daraus, dass Oilsands Quest sich voll und ganz auf die In-Situ Produktion konzentrieren will und sogar die Klassische Ölsandproduktion zukünftig ausschliesst.

Nun wundert mich gar Nichts mehr, auch nicht, dass Fonds und Anleger in Schaaren weglaufen, weil Hopkins die falsche Firmenstrategie verfolgt. Es war in den Letzten Jahren NIE davon die Rede, dass man ausschliesslich In-Situ fördern will.

Unter diesem Gesichtspunkt bin ich völlig enttäuscht, wie wenig Phantasie der Oilsands Quest Aktienkurs übrig hat. Mit 5 oder 10Mrd Barrel gut gesättigter Ölsande hätte man so unglaublich viel erreichen können. Man hätte längst die Hälfte seiner Reserven Verkaufen müssen, hätte gut 8Mrd oder gar 12Mrd Dollar verdienen können und damit anständig Etwas aufbauen können.
Stattdessen wird der Aktienkurs ständig dilutiert durch Privat Placements.

Hopkins, ich fordere Sie auf, das Amt nieder zu legen. Entsprechend stufe ich die Aktie auf Verkaufen runter, weil ich stinksauer bin.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 38.787.373 von Punicamelon am 22.01.10 00:56:45

Hi Puni!

Ich habe im Oktober 2009 schon in den Kursanstieg hinein die Hälfte meiner Anteile verkauft. Leider nicht zu den Höchstkursen von über einem Euro, und leider weit, weit unter meinem EK!
Ich war mir da schon nicht sicher, wie es bei Oilsands Quest weitergehen soll. IMO ist BQI alleine gar nicht in der Lage einen entsprechenden Abbau zu stemmen. Die Investistionen und die daraus resultierenden Kapitalkosten (OPEX & CAPEX) sind einfach zu hoch. Wie soll so eine kleine Firma so viel Geld auftreiben?
- capital raisen? Viel zu klein, viel zu hohe Verwässerung (zum derzeitigen Kurs müsste die Zahl der ausstehenden Aktien sich bestimmt verdreifachen, aber das würde den Kurs fallen lassen...)
- Kreditfinanzierung? Ausgeschlossen! Gerade JETZT wollen die Banken 100&ige Sicherheiten haben, die BQI keinesfalls bieten kann!
- Vorwärtsverkäufe? IMO dürfte die Produktion noch mindestens 3 Jahre dauern, das finanziert doch heute keiner mehr; 2008 hat man doch gesehen, wie schnell aus einer Knappheit am Markt (150 Dollar/Barrel) ein drastisches Überangebot (35 Dollar/Barrel) werden kann!!!

Die Lösung wäre höchstens eine Übernahme von einem Grossen wie SUNCOR, aber die scheinen kein Interesse zu haben, da die Assets zu weit von deren Verarbeitungsalagen entfernt liegen und so keine Synergien entstehen. Der Ölsand kann nich in Fort McMurray verarbeitet werden, also müsste alles ganz neu aufgebaut , nicht nur die Verarbeitungsanlage an sich, sondern die ganze Infrastruktur, die in Fort McMurray ja bereits vorhanden ist: Strassen, Elektrizität, Behausungen für die Arbeiter, Gas und Wasser für die Verarbeitung, usw.
Statt dessen ist es für einen Majors interessanter einen Alberta-Ölsandexplorer zu übernehmen, um zusätzliches Feed für ihre Anlagen zu kriegen.

Aber:
Ganz raus will ich aber auch noch nicht gehen. Mir spukt immer noch der Irre vom Iran im Kopf herum. Die Amis haben gerade erst ein Benzin und Diesel Embargo verhängt, wenn der Iran die Ölleitungen dicht macht, oder die Strasse von Hormuz sperrt oder die Amis oder die Isrealis oder beide sogar anfangen die Uranlangen zu bombardieren, explodiert BQI!!!

Kanadischer Ölsand ist die einzige sichere Ölquelle der Amis! Russland und Venezuela sind feindlich gesinnt, und wenn alles um den Persischen Golf herum ausfällt wird es zappenduster...

[Schandmaul]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 38.788.806 von Dirkix am 22.01.10 10:19:47

Hi Dirk, Hi Punica,

interessanterweise bin ich was den Iran angeht seinerzeit aus denselben Überlegungen heraus bei BQI eingestiegen. Im Grunde genommen handelt es sich um eine Wette auf eine Eskalation des Konflikts im nahen Osten mit entsprechend drastischen Effekten auf die Ölproduktion.

Ich schliesse mich an dieser Stelle der Kritik an CEO Hopkins an. Das Management zahlt sich ein jährliches Millonensalär und kriegt es im Gegenzug nicht hin, das Projekt vernünftig anzuschieben.

Was ist beispielsweise aus der Testanlage geworden, die täglich mehrere tausend Barell Öl produzieren soll ?

In Bezug auf die Abbau-Technologie stellt sich die Frage, ob die Ölsandvorkommen von BQI sich überhaupt für die klassische Produktion a la Suncor im Über-Tage-Abbau eignet. Wenn man sich die geologische Überischt anschaut, sieht es nämlich so aus, als ob ein Großteil der Vorkommen unter Tage liegt und sich aufgrund der Beschaffenheit des Untergrunds sehr gut für In-Situ eignet.
Von daher wäre In-Situ als Kerntechnologie schon vernünftig.

Wie denkt ihr darüber ?

Grüße

[Schandmaul]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 38.813.445 von Schandmaul am 26.01.10 14:20:26

Überdies benötigt der In-Situ Prozess deutlich weniger Infrastruktur als die klassischen Abbautechnologien oder täusche ich da ?

[Schandmaul]

Auf Folie 14 ist für Anfang 2010 von einer Pilot-Application die Rede. Was ist darunter zu verstehen ? Handelt sich etwa um besagte Förderanlage die endlich mal für Cash-Flow sorgt ?

[Dirkix]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 38.814.339 von Schandmaul am 26.01.10 15:52:31

Nicht wirklich! Das ist ein gross angelegter Extraktionsversuch. Das reicht aus, um auf Grosstechnikebene die Taglichkeit des geplanten Abbaus zu testen, aber NICHT um genügend Cash Flow für weitere Investitionen zu generiern...
Wie ich schon schrieb, hier besteht noch immenser Kapitalbedarf!

[Schandmaul]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 38.814.912 von Dirkix am 26.01.10 16:40:19

Gibt es denn seitens BQI irgendein Statement das auf so etwas wie einen Produktionsbeginn bzw. Cash-Flow in der nahen Zukunft hindeuten könnte ?

Die Frage ist doch: wird der Kurs mittelfristig durch BQI selbst signifikant gesteigert werden können ? Also aus eigener Kraft und ohne politische Ereignisse im nahen Osten ?

[Punicamelon]

Bei Oilsands Quest wird vorerst mit Sicherheit kein Cash Flow entstehen, das ist eine reine Testanlage, die sie machen wollen. Oilsands Quest hat ja überhaupt keine Anlagen zur Verarbeitung. So schnell und kostenarm geht das mit Sicherheit nicht.

Schaut mal rüber zum Suncor/Firebag Projekt. Das ist ein reines In-Situ Projekt, welches seit 2004 ca 25Mio Barrel fördert. Die bauen da schon ewig dran und die Richtigen (grossen) Upgrades kommen erst in den Nächsten 2-3Jahren. Anscheinend will man dann auf ca 160Mio Barrel Förderung erweitern und Suncor hat da etliche Milliarden Dollar die Letzten Jahre reingesteckt. Alleine im Letzten Jahr hat man 5,5Mrd CAD reingesteckt. Die Summe ist für Oilsands Quest utopisch.

Zum Vergleich: Das Horizon Projekt von CNQ kostet etwa 10Mrd Dollar, wird aber auch 550.000Barrel fördern bei ungefähr gleichen Produktionskosten von 30-40Dollar pro Barrel.

Klassische Ölsandproduktion ist viel billiger, aber dafür braucht man eben entweder bestehende Produktion mit Cash Flow, eine Bankfinanzierung oder Startkapital. Bei allen 3Varianten wird es schwierig, ausser Hopkins verhökert endlich mal 3Mrd Barrel zu 3Dollar.

[Hasardeur666]

Bin seit ner Weile zum Glück wieder ausgestiegen, da ich plötzlich das Gefühl hatte, nur ein paar Nichtsnutze bei deren "Ölsandforschung" zu unterstützen.
Kein richtiges Konzept dahinter. Nur ein bisschen ins blaue forschen mit schönen Sprüchen und gleichzeitig wahrscheinlich noch ein bisschen die eigenen Aktien shorten.

[Punicamelon]

Anfang diesen Jahres hat Hopkins die Katze aus dem Sack gelassen. Er hat plötzlich die Klassische Ölsandproduktion verhöhnt und quasi angekündigt ,sich mit Oilsands Quest ausschliesslich auf die In-Situ Förderung konzentrieren zu wollen.

Die Aktien Besitzer haben ihm diesen Schritt scheinbar sehr übel genommen, denn die Oilsands Quest Aktie hat sich seitdem nochmals fast halbiert, mich wundert das kein bisschen.

Im Gegenteil, ich hatte damals schon massiv auf diese für mich wirtschaftlich völlig falsche Firmenstrategie hingewiesen.

Prost Mahlzeit und mein tiefstes Bedauern über die geschädigten Personen.

[Charly]

Hi Puni, schön von dir zu lesen!
Was mich nur wundert ist, daß doch noch so viele Instis und große Banken-Makler hier eingestiegen sind oder noch einsteigen. Die müssen sich doch etwas von dieser Aktie versprechen. Auch ist auffällig das viele der kleinen Ölsandplayer(Explorer) momentan aufgekauft werden. Wie siehst du den Horizont der Aktie trotz deiner pessimistischen Einstellung!Danke

[Punicamelon]

Die aktuelle Marktcap beträgt fully diluted 183Mio Euro. Die Aktie könnte auch das 50fache wert sein, wenn der CEO endlich mal die Richtigen Entscheidungen treffen würde und das wäre in meinen Augen das Anstreben des Aufbaus erheblichen Eigenkapitals, welches meiner Ansicht nach nur aus dem Teilverkauf vorhandener Assets erfolgen könnte, um den langfristigen Aufbau einer Förderung zu finanzieren/oder teilzufinanzieren. Das Alles will der CEO anscheinend nicht und hortet die Assets lieber auf Sankt Nimmerlein mit der gleichzeitigen Dilution des Aktienkurses.
Wie Einer meiner Thread Vorredner schon schrieb, die Aktie hat ganz massiven langfristigen Finanzierungsbedarf für den Aufbau von Förderanlagen und Infrastruktur und bisher habe ich seitens der Firma nicht ansatzweise einen Hinweis gelesen, wie man das bewerkstelligen will.

Selbst wenn man sich auf In-Situ spezialisiert und nur eine Teilmenge anstrebt, von dem was Suncor mit Ihrem Firebag Projekt produziert, käme man auf minimum 1-1,5Milliarden USD Finanzierungsbedarf.

Wenn sich in die Richtung Finanzierung/Eigenkapital Nichts tut, wird der Aktienkurs weiter verwässert und tritt nochmals 5Jahre auf der Stelle.

Hi,
Seit einigen Monaten bekomme ich regelmäßig von einem Börsendienst die Mitteilung,Daß Erdöl abiotisch enstanden ist und noch ständig neu entseht !. Die Welt soll bald in Öl schwimmen !
[/b
Kann sich angesichts dieser Aussage ein Wert wie Q. sich da jemals rentieren ?

[Punicamelon]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 39.281.935 von ernestokg am 06.04.10 19:36:01

Gute Frage! Ich habe mich mit dem Thema abiotischen Öl intensiver beschäftigt und halte es für so ziemlich kompletten Unfug. Ich konnte nicht ein einziges Argument dieses gewissen Russischen Professors klar als wahr erkennen. Wenn überhaupt an der ganzen Sache (abiotischen Öl) etwas dran ist, ist das Öl, was angeblich nachfliesst so extrem minimal, dass es PeakOil nicht ansatzweise aufhalten wird. Die kompletten Erschöpfungen der vielen Ölfelder rund um den Globus in den Letzten 50-80Jahren ist zu offensichtlich und eindeutig.

Momentan ist allerdings ein ganz anderes Thema aktuell. Es wird intensiv darüber diskutiert, dass es wohl 921.000Mrd Kubikmeter Shalegas in Schiefer- und Ton- Gesteinsschichten gibt. Wenn das stimmt, entspräche das dem 4-fachen aller bekannten Ölreserven der Welt.

Nach meinem Wissen gibt es aber noch keine geeigneten Fördertechniken für dieses Shale Gas. Ich bin aber fest davon überzeugt, dass man dieses Problem binnen weniger Jahrzehnte löst.

Dann wäre es denkbar, dass der weltweite Transportsektor komplett auf Gas umsteigt und Öl weltweit ausschliesslich nur noch die Petrochemie bedient.

Da die Petrochemie nur 40% vom heutigen Öl benötigt, wären sogar Ölpreise von 200-300Dollar möglich. Die öl exportierenden Länder sind nämlich dringend auf die Einnahmen angewiesen, weil sie damit Ihre Staatshaushalte finanzieren. Gleichzeitig wäre die Petrochemie in der Lage, diese hohen Preise zu bezahlen.

Entsprechend wäre Oilsands Quest dann rentabel wie eh und je.

[oilrig]

— Already wielding its economic might to become a major source of capital for Canada’s oil sands, China has struck a deal to help the province of Saskatchewan develop its burgeoning natural gas and crude assets.

China National Petroleum Corp. (CNCP) signed a memorandum of understanding with the province of Saskatchewan in Beijing that will see the state-controlled company evaluate investments in natural gas, heavy oil and carbon capture projects.

Premier Brad Wall called the unexpected deal the highlight so far of a joint trade mission to Asia with the premiers of Alberta and British Columbia. The three leaders are promoting a new economic partnership among the provinces in a trade mission that has visited Shanghai, Beijing and heads to Tokyo on Thursday.

“There is a real interest. Here is the fifth-largest oil company in the world signaling a very strong interest in the entire inventory of our hydrocarbon assets, save coal. Oil and gas, and potentially the heavier oil of the oil sands [are of interest to China] … we are going to be very happy to work directly with them,” Mr. Wall said in an interview in Beijing.

China is filling an investment gap created by the economic downturn that has reduced capital availability in Europe and North America. It is also emerging as an attractive partner for Canadian companies because of its technological prowess in extracting the heavy oil that makes up most of the crude reserves in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Although China’s state-owned firms have moved cautiously in Canada, buying into joint ventures and minority positions rather than outright takeovers, their acquisitions have gathered steam following Ottawa’s efforts to open Canada to Asian investment.

Alberta has drawn most of the interest from Chinese firms so far, but Saskatchewan’s burgeoning light oil plays and substantial oil sands deposits have also attracted major investor interest. The CNPC deal is another step in “an ongoing trend to look beyond the provincial boundaries of Alberta,” said Garth Wong, chief financial officer at Calgary-based Oilsands Quest Inc.

It also “confirms that there is continuing interest in the oil sands, and confirms that the Saskatchewan government itself is on the right track in trying to develop its resources,” he said.

Oilsands Quest is one of two companies with a major stake in Saskatchewan’s oil sands which, while adjacent to those of Alberta and a multi-billion-barrel deposit, are considered more difficult to produce.

“Saskatchewan, on the oil sands side, is one of those longer-term resource plays and it’s a way for [Chinese investors] to get in relatively cheap,” said Chris Bloomer, chief operating officer for heavy oil at Petrobank Energy and Resources Ltd., another company with major Saskatchewan oil sands holdings.

Industry has also welcomed China’s longer time horizon on investments, which Mr. Bloomer called “capital that has a little longer fuse to it.”

The agreement to potentially help Saskatchewan develop energy projects caps a flurry of deals in recent weeks that has seen China pledge billions of dollars for stakes in Canada’s oil and gas sector assets.

Last week, China Investment Corp. agreed to pay $817-million to take a 45-per-cent stake in an Alberta oil sands project owned by Penn West Energy Trust. The Chinese investment firm has also agreed to pay $435-million for a 5-per-cent interest in Penn West.

That transaction followed a blockbuster agreement in April that will see China's state-owned energy firm Sinopec pay $4.65-billion (U.S.) for a 9-per-cent stake in Syncrude Canada, the first major oil sands project in Alberta and one of the industry's top producers.

China has previously shown an interest in Saskatchewan’s energy resources, launching an unsuccessful bid in a recent land sale auction conducted by the province, Mr. Wall said.

“I think there is a real interest in [natural] gas … we have great potential,” he said.

Alberta premier Ed Stelmach also met with CNPC officials this week and discussed the potential for further Chinese investment in the province.

“We also are very interested in their technology, in enhanced oil recovery. They have recognized expertise in this area. It’s one of the reasons, I believe, they invested in Alberta,” Mr. Stelmach said in an interview this week.

B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan account for over 90 per cent of Canada’s oil and gas production. That has made those provinces, which recently formed an economic alliance dubbed the New West Partnership, a prime target for China, whose roaring economy has made it the world’s largest commodity buyer.

Die Aktie war mal einer DER interessantesten Werte in meinen Watchlisten. Leider hat sie stark an Potential verloren, weil der CEO ziemlich hamsterhaft agiert. Der Kursverfall ist eine Mischung aus Dilution und hinzu kommt, dass Öl momentan out ist wegen der eklatanten Umweltverschmutzung.
Die Zeiten, in denen Öl wieder attraktiv ist, kommt aber garantiert wieder. Das Öl Problem ist ja weltweit noch lange nicht gelöst, trotz starker Substitution momentan.
Bei Oilsands Quest wäre der CEO gut beraten gewesen, wenn er die Assets teilweise Verkauft hätte und das Unternehmen damit bodenständiger finanziert hätte. Jetzt müssen die Aktionäre Alles ausbaden und es hätte so schön sein können.

[relativity]

Es gibt eine neue Resourcenschätzung unter:

http://www.oilsandsquest.com/pdf/Resource%20Estimate%20Updat…




CALGARY, July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oilsands Quest Inc. (NYSE Amex: BQI) ("Oilsands Quest", "OQI" or "the Company") today released independent resource estimates for its Wallace Creek, Axe Lake, Raven Ridge and Eagles Nest properties. The estimates were prepared by McDaniel & Associates Consultants Ltd. ("McDaniel"), at the request of Oilsands Quest with an effective date of April 30, 2010.

The independent resource estimates include the results of our recently completed drilling program at Wallace Creek. The resource estimates for the Axe Lake, Raven Ridge and Eagles Nest properties were also updated, but have not changed significantly from the previous evaluation.

"The results of the drilling program at Wallace Creek are encouraging and imply an area with high prospectivity," said Sue MacKenzie, Chief Operating Officer at Oilsands Quest. "We look forward to drilling and delineating more resources in the remainder of Wallace Creek."

In determining the resource estimates, McDaniel has assumed the use of Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage ("SAGD") as the recovery process. Oilsands Quest is continuing to advance reservoir testing programs and anticipates that successful reservoir testing will result in a portion of the resources currently classified as sub-economic contingent and unrecoverable being reclassified as economic contingent resources. At this time, only a portion of the contingent resources assigned by McDaniel have been sub-classified as economic. Definitions of the resource categories used for the estimates and other technical terms are set out at the end of this news release.




Wallace Creek -------------
The following is the initial evaluation by McDaniel of OQI's Wallace Creek prospect. It is based upon a nine core hole drilling program at Wallace Creek conducted in early 2010 and boosts the resource estimates across all categories. Of the nine core holes drilled, five encountered significant bitumen intercepts with two holes encountering over 20 meters of oil sands. The initial drilling results at Wallace Creek indicate that there are areas with preservation of McMurray mud stones directly on top of the oil sands zone, similar to neighbouring properties to the west, and areas where the glacial till lies directly on top of the oil sands zone, similar to that at Axe Lake.




Table 1 Wallace Creek Bitumen Resource Estimates ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Millions of Barrels Low Best High ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discovered Resources(2) 248 302 343 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contingent Resources(1)(3) 57 98 143 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undiscovered Resources(2) 622 1,052 1,822 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prospective Resources(2) 71 294 843 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Axe Lake --------
OQI has drilled 320 exploration core holes and 45 development and monitoring wells at Axe Lake. The following McDaniel resource estimate remains relatively unchanged from the previous evaluation for the Axe Lake project. In late 2009, OQI drilled 16 overburden core holes across the Axe Lake reservoirs to improve the understanding of the overburden characteristics and to test the potential of the overburden to act as a cap rock to contain steam within the reservoir. Based on the encouraging results from the cap rock testing, OQI is developing plans for a SAGD test at Test Site 1. As stated earlier, in compiling these resource estimates McDaniel has assumed the use of SAGD as the recovery process. The SAGD test results will be provided to McDaniel to update their reservoir data and evaluation.




Table 2 Axe Lake Bitumen Resource Estimates ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Millions of Barrels Low Best High ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discovered Resources(2) 1,398 1,865 2,331 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contingent Resources(1)(3) n/a 152 474 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raven Ridge -----------
The following McDaniel resource estimate remains unchanged from the previous evaluation for Raven Ridge, where OQI has drilled 48 exploration core holes. There has not been any further exploration drilling done at Raven Ridge since the previous evaluation.




Table 3 Raven Ridge Bitumen Resource Estimates ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Millions of Barrels Low Best High ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discovered Resources(2) 760 1,013 1,267 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contingent Resources(1)(3) n/a n/a 320 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undiscovered Resources(2) 245 673 1,755 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prospective Resources(2) 10 136 565 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eagles Nest -----------
The following McDaniel resource estimate remains unchanged from the previous evaluation for Eagles Nest. McDaniel has used existing legacy drill data at Eagles Nest as well as interpolated data from adjacent geology in accordance with Canadian reporting standards to estimate discovered, undiscovered and prospective resources.




Table 4 Eagles Nest Bitumen Resource Estimates ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Millions of Barrels Low Best High ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discovered Resources(2) 221 367 612 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undiscovered Resources(2) 926 1,573 2,682 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prospective Resources(2) 18 178 717 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table 5 Summary of Bitumen Resource Estimates Axe Lake, Raven Ridge, Wallace Creek & Eagles Nest(4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Millions of Barrels Low Best High ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Discovered Resources(2) 2,627 3,547 4,553 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contingent Resources(1)(3) 57 250 937 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Undiscovered Resources(2) 1,793 3,298 6,259 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prospective Resources(2) 99 608 2,125 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Excludes estimates of sub-economic contingent resources reported by McDaniel. (2) The discovered resource and undiscovered resource numbers are not estimates of the recoverable volume of bitumen. A portion of the discovered resources tabulated herein have been further categorized as contingent resources in the McDaniel evaluation. In addition, a portion of the undiscovered resources tabulated herein have been further categorized as prospective resources in the McDaniel evaluation. The portion of the discovered resources and undiscovered resources that have not been classified respectively as contingent resources or prospective resources would be categorized under COGEH as unrecoverable at this time, pending further testing and recovery process development. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the discovered resources. There is no certainty that any portion of the undiscovered resources will be discovered and, if discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. (3) The low estimate contingent resources for Axe Lake and Raven Ridge and a portion of the low estimate contingent resources at Wallace Creek have been sub-classified as sub-economic under McDaniel's current price forecast and cost assumptions. There is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the contingent resources. The recoverable volumes estimated by McDaniel have been classified as contingent resources as opposed to reserves because not all of the conditions for commerciality have been met including corporate and regulatory approvals for development. The estimates of contingent resources have been prepared assuming the use of SAGD as the recovery process. (4) The table sets out OQI's discovered resource estimates for Axe Lake, Raven Ridge, Wallace Creek and Eagles Nest; economic contingent resource estimates for Axe Lake, Raven Ridge and Wallace Creek; undiscovered resource estimates for Raven Ridge, Wallace Creek and Eagles Nest; and prospective resource estimates for Raven Ridge, Wallace Creek and Eagles Nest.


The estimates in the above tables reflect Oilsands Quest's 100% interest in the Axe Lake, Raven Ridge, Wallace Creek and Eagles Nest areas and represent only those resources that have been independently evaluated.

The tables set out OQI's resource estimates for Axe Lake, Raven Ridge, Wallace Creek and Eagles Nest as reported by McDaniel(1). The Axe Lake area is located within Townships 94 and 95, Ranges 24 and 25WM within the Province of Saskatchewan, approximately 115 kilometers northeast of the City of Fort McMurray. The Raven Ridge area is located immediately to the west of the Axe Lake area, within Townships 93 and 94, Range 1W4M, within the Province of Alberta. The Wallace Creek area is located north of the Raven Ridge area and west of the Axe Lake area, within Township 96, Ranges 1 and 2 W4M in the Province of Alberta. Eagles Nest is located in the Athabasca oil sands region in the Province of Alberta in Township 101, Range 13W4M.

Since mid-2008, the Company has released McDaniel's independent estimates of bitumen resource volumes, which are prepared in accordance with the standards set out in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook ("COGEH") and National Instrument 51-101 ("NI 51-101").

Resource Categories:



Discovered resources (equivalent to discovered petroleum initially-in-place) are defined within COGEH as that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, as of a given date, to be contained in known accumulations prior to production. The recoverable portion of discovered resources includes production, reserves, and contingent resources; the remainder is classified as unrecoverable. Discovered resources are the summation of all bitumen present, without qualitative or quantitative assessment to determine the exploitable portion of that resource.



Contingent resources are defined within COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from known accumulations using established technology or technology under development, but which are not currently considered to be commercially recoverable due to one or more contingencies. Contingencies may include factors such as economic, legal, environmental, political, and regulatory matters, or a lack of markets. It is also appropriate to classify as contingent resources the estimated discovered recoverable quantities associated with a project in the early evaluation stage. Contingent resources are further classified in accordance with the level of certainty associated with the estimates and may be sub-classified based on project maturity and/or characterized by their economic status.



Economic Contingent Resources are defined within COGEH as those contingent resources that are currently economically recoverable.



Prospective Resources are defined within COGEH as those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective Resources have both an associated chance of discovery and a chance of development. Prospective Resources are further subdivided in accordance with the level of certainty associated with recoverable estimates assuming their discovery and development and may be sub-classified based on project maturity.



Discovered unrecoverable resources (equivalent to discovered unrecoverable petroleum initially-in-place) are defined within COGEH as that portion of discovered resources which is estimated, as of a given date, not to be recoverable by future development projects. A portion of these quantities may become recoverable in the future as commercial circumstances change or technological developments occur; the remaining portion may never be recovered due to the physical/chemical constraints represented by subsurface interaction of fluids and reservoir rocks.



Sub-Economic Contingent Resources are defined within COGEH as those contingent resources that are not currently economically recoverable.



Undiscovered Resources (equivalent to undiscovered petroleum initially-in-place) are defined within COGEH as that quantity of petroleum that is estimated, on a given date, to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The recoverable portion of Undiscovered Resources is referred to as Prospective Resources, the remainder as Unrecoverable.



Unrecoverable is defined within COGEH as that portion of discovered or undiscovered resources quantities which is estimated, as of a given date, not to be recoverable by future development projects. A portion of these quantities may become recoverable in the future as commercial circumstances change or technological developments occur; the remaining portion may never be recovered due to the physical/chemical constraints represented by subsurface interaction of fluids and reservoir rocks.



Uncertainty Categories:



A range of prospective, undiscovered, discovered and contingent resources estimates (low, best and high) was prepared to reflect a range of technical and economic uncertainties and was determined in accordance with COGEH.



Low Estimate is defined within COGEH as a conservative estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the low estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 90 percent probability (P90) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the low estimate.



Best Estimate is defined within COGEH as the best estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the best estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 50 percent probability (P50) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the best estimate.



High Estimate is defined within COGEH as an optimistic estimate of the quantity that will actually be recovered. It is unlikely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the high estimate. If probabilistic methods are used, there should be at least a 10 percent probability (P10) that the quantities actually recovered will equal or exceed the high estimate.



Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements



This news release includes certain statements that may be deemed to be "forward-looking statements." All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this news release that address activities, events or developments that our management expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Also, forward-looking statements are frequently indicated by words such as "plan", "expect", "project", "intend", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate", "potential", "prospective" and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" "will" or "could" occur. Forward-looking statements such as the amount and nature of future capital, development and exploration expenditures, the timing of exploration and test program activities, business strategies and development of our business plan and exploration and testing programs, the resource estimates, and references to the Company's reservoir field testing and analysis program, and the timing of such program are based on the opinions and estimates of management and the Company's independent evaluators at the date the statements are made, and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to risks inherent in the oil sands industry, regulatory, financing and economic risks, and risks associated with the Company's ability to implement its business plan. There are uncertainties inherent in forward-looking information, including factors beyond Oilsands Quest's control, and no assurance can be given that the programs will be completed on time, on budget or at all. In addition, there are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating resources, including many factors beyond the Company's control. In general, estimates of petroleum resources are based upon a number of factors and assumptions made as of the date on which the estimates were determined, such as geological, technological and engineering estimates which have inherent uncertainties, the assumed effects of regulation by governmental agencies and estimates of future commodity prices and operating costs, all of which may vary considerably from actual results. All such estimates are, to some degree, uncertain and classifications of resources are only attempts to define the degree of uncertainty involved. The estimates contained herein with respect to petroleum resources that may be developed in the future have been based upon volumetric calculations and upon analogy to similar types of resources, rather than upon actual production history. Estimates based on these methods generally are less reliable than those based on actual production history. Subsequent evaluation of the same resources based upon production history will result in variations, which may be material, in the estimated resources. For a description of the risks and uncertainties facing the Company and its business and affairs, readers should refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2009, and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q available on http://www.sedar.com and http://www.sec.gov.

Oilsands Quest undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking information if circumstances or management's estimates or opinions should change, except as required by law. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.



Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors - The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved reserves that a company has demonstrated by actual production or conclusive formation tests to be economically and legally producible under existing economic and operating conditions. The Company uses certain terms in this press release such as discovered and contingent resources, that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. U.S. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10-K, available from us on request by emailing [e-mail] or by calling 1-877-718-8941. You can also obtain this form at www.sec.gov. In reviewing this news release, it is necessary to recognize the differences between resources (which are reported as required under Canadian law) and reserves (which are not being reported). U.S. Investors are cautioned that the discussion of resource estimates in this news release does not contain any information about deposits that would qualify as deposits of "reserves" under SEC Industry Guide 7. Further, the terms "discovered resources" and "contingent resources" are Canadian terms defined in accordance with the standards set forth jointly by the Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers (Calgary Chapter) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (Petroleum Society) in the COGEH. The COGEH standards differ from the terminology and standards set forth in SEC Industry Guide 7 and, as a consequence, the information contained in this news release may not be comparable to information provided by other similar companies in the United States. Investors should not assume that any part of the deposits discussed in this news release that are categorized as discovered, undiscovered, contingent or prospective resources according to Canadian standards will ever be considered "reserves" under applicable U.S. standards. The commercial viability of these resources are affected by numerous factors which are beyond the Company's control and which cannot be predicted, such as the potential for further financing, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a resource, whether discovered or contingent, exists or (if it exists) is economically or legally extractable.

Der Aktienkurs hat eine beispiellose Talfahrt hinter sich. Mittlerweile sind wir auf eine Marktcap von 109Mio Euro geschrumpft. Vor längerer Zeit war Oilsands Quest mal über 600Mio Euro wert, als noch Euphorie bestand, eine moderne Ölsandindustrie aufzubauen.

Trotzdem hat sich bei Oilsands Quest viel getan, die Fotos aus der Oktober 2010 Presentation hauen mich durchaus vom Hocker. Das Camp ist riesig geworden und mittlerweile stehen auch schon diverse Pilotanlagen in Axe lake, wo man wohl langfristig 30.000Barrel per in-situ fördern will.

http://www.oilsandsquest.com/pdf/AGM2010%20FINAL.pdf

Es würde dann nicht nur die berechtigte Hoffnung bestehen, dass die dauernden Dilutionen endlich aufhören, sondern dass auch erheblicher Cash Flow reinkommt, mit dem man weitere aussichtsreiche Projekte aufbauen kann. Ein Cash Flow würde auch gleichzeitig ein KGV bedeuten, was immer dankbar von den Anlegern honoriert wird.

Meine Anlageempfehlung stufe ich hiermit von Verkaufen auf Halten hoch und empfehle gaaaaanz vorsichtige Erste Käufe.
Vielleicht ist also jetzt endlich mal eine vernünftige Basis gefunden, auf der man aufbauen kann. Es wäre den mehr als stinksauren Aktionären wirklich zu wünschen.

Viele Grüsse Punicamelon

Ein wirklich schrecklicher Chart-- mein aufrichtiges Beileid an alle Investierten !

Nichts hält ewig auf dieser Welt, IMO ist derzeit der Goldpreis am kippen, habe deshalb in vergangenen Tagen Goldminen verkauft uns suche neue Anlage-Chancen.
Aber warum sollte ich hier ,das wird mir aus dem vorstehenden Posting nicht klar .

[ernestokg]

Hat sich mittlerweile hier etwas fundamental verändert ?
Zwar hat sich der Goldpreis wieder erholt die meisten Minen aber nicht !
Sitze immer noch auf meinem Geldsack,gut dass ich etliche PM Minen verkauft habe und hier bislang nicht eingestiegen bin !

[Punicamelon]

Laut der Neusten Präsentation haben die vier In-Situ Assets insgesamt Potential bis zu 100.000Barrel Ölförderung pro Tag. Nach aktuellen Ölweltmarktpreisen würde man damit in die Region 4Mrd Dollar Umsatz vorstossen. Wenn wir 50% Steuern und 30Dollar Förderkosten abziehen, würden immer noch mehr als eine Mrd Dollar Reingewinn übrig bleiben. Das wäre angesichts von derzeit ca 165Mio Euro Marktcap ein gewaltiges Kurspotential. Aber so weit sind wir lange noch nicht. Es soll erst ab 2017 commerzial gefördert werden und auch nur 35.000Barrel in Axe lake. Die restlichen 65.000Barrel in Wallace Creex und Raven Ridge soller sogar erst 2019 bzw 2021 zustossen. Eagles Nest soll ab 2022 commerziell Öl produzieren. Das ist ein gewaltiges Zeitfenster und ich möchte nicht wissen, wie viele zahlreiche Dullutionen es bis dahin noch gibt. Das grosse Problem ist, dass die Marktcap historisch schneller sinkt, als dass Kapital aufgebracht werden kann. Die aktuelle Marktcap von ca 165Mio Euro ist nur noch eine einzige Kathastrophe, hier würden glaubhafte Kosten- und Finanzierungskalkulationen zu den einzelnen Projekten das völlig ruinierte Vertrauensverhältniss zu den Aktionären auffrischen. Vielleicht kapiert der Neue CEO das Besser als der Vorherige. Die Geologischen Erläuterungen in der Unternehmenspräsentation gefallen mir zwar ausserordentlich gut, sind aber quasi wertlos, wenn wir nicht annähernd vernünftige Kostenkalkulationen zur Hand haben.

Schade, der Kurs kleckert auch weiterhin ab und steht wieder fast auf dem 5Jahrestief.





Hier ist mordsmäßig viel Geduld angesagt, denn grundsätzlich ist man verdammt gut positioniert und auch der Ölpreis (zb Brent 125Dollar) steht sensationell gut.

hey Puni, wie schnell burnen die denn ihr Cash?

Im Januar hatten sie wohl noch 30 Millionen. Wäre ja fürchtbar, wenn die auf dem level funden würden

Am besten wäre ein großer Partner. Für 50 Millionen $ kann sich ein Big player schon die Mehrheit sichern. Dann ginge alles ein wenig schneller..

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 41.707.465 von DIE_GERECHTIGKEIT am 27.06.11 22:10:01

Ich habe gerade in meinem Archiv nachgesehen. Wir waren mal bei 50Mio Aktien fully diluted, ich kann Dir aber leider nicht mehr sagen wann das war, aber diese 50Mio Stck habe ich bestimmt Hundert Mal durchgestrichen und kürzlich bei 0,32Euro waren es schon 342Mio Shares. Ich vermute mal, jetzt sind es wieder ein bisschen mehr. Die Marktcap ist etwa von 750Mio USD auf nunmehr ca 73Mio Euro zusammen geschrumpft. Der Kapitalbedarf lag in den letzten vielen Jahren laut meinen Erinnerungen immer bei 30-60Mio € pro Jahr, ich habe leider keine exkten Dilutionszahlen und keine Durchschnittszahlen zur Hand.
Aber ehrlich gesagt, eine Firma, die nahezu 10Mrd Barrel fantastisch gesättigter Ölsande besitzt und sie so bittererbärmlich fallen lässt, dem ist wirklich nicht zu helfen. Man muss sich mal auf der Zunge zergehen lassen, dass die Liegenschaften von Oilsands Quest LOCKER einen Internationalen Wert von 50Milliarden Dollar betragen und die Firma unter 100Millionen Euro Marktcap notiert und nun auf 10Jahressicht vielleicht mikrige 30.000 oder 50.000Barrel In-Situ Förderung zu Stande bringt. Ich möchte auch gar nicht wissen, wie oft die Aktionäre noch zur Kasse gebeten werden. Beim aktuellen Firmenwert kann auch nicht mehr so viel eingesammelt werden.

OK, ich lass es.

Einfach den CFO, der ein Teil des Desasters zu verantworten hat, zum Chef zu machen, das ist auch kein wirkliche Kaufsignal. Und irgendwann muss man immer befürchten, dass das geschieht, was @Andrija andeutete: irgendein Krimineller reisst sich das Ding auf lau unter den Nagel.

Banker an der Spitze von Explorern, das ist eh selten positiv für die Kleinanleger.

Hab ich schon Tausendmal erlebt, ein Aufschlag von üblichen +30% ist ein Fliegenschiss, selbst wenn Du nur -50% Verluste aussitzt.
Was mir fehlt, ist ein langfristiges Konzept bei Oilsands Quest. Vor 10Jahren hieß es, man wolle in 10Jahren (also jetzt) einen Klassischen Ölsandabbau nach Tagebau, vor wenigen Jahren dann der komplette Richtungswechsel, man wolle auf Ölsandabbau (Tagebau) komplett verzichten und ausschliesslich auf In-Situ (Heisswasserinjektionen + Absaugen) setzen und man solle erneut weitere 15Jahre Geduld haben. Mal ehrlich, ich bekomme gleich das Lachen

Trotzdem schön und Gut alles, aber nirgendwo lese ich, was das kosten soll.

Also, die Produktion ist wie folgt geplant:

Axe lake 35.000Barrel
Wallace Creek 35.000Barrel
Raven Ridge 30.000Barrel
und Eagles Nest (Fördermenge unbekannt)

Der Zeitplan sieht wie folgt aus:




Ohne Eagles Nest wären das 36,5Mio Barrel Jahresförderung x 100Dollar Ölpreis sind bald 4Mrd USD Jahresumsatz bei vielleicht 30Dollar Förderkosten. Das sind gewaltige Ambitionen, die entweder zerplatzen wie eine Seifenblase oder eine Dillution bis zum Mond verursachen oder den Aktienkurs hebeln, so dass selbst Nokia Aktiengewinne geschichtlich als blass erscheinen


ps in der Januar 2011 Präsentation waren es bereits 413Mio Shares fully diluted, ohne Worte

[Punicamelon]

Nicht dass Du mich falsch verstehst, Oilsands Quest hat weiterhin gewaltige und exorbitante Potentiale. Wenn tatsächlich ab Ende 2017 eine Produktion möglich ist, wird der Aktienkurs bestimmt schon irgendwann 2014/2015 stark anspringen, aber bitteschön dann mit transparenteren Kosten- und vor allen Dingen Dillutionskalkulationen.
Meiner Meinung nach sollte man sich ab 2012/2013 auf die Lauer legen.

[Punicamelon]

Das ist wieder so richtig typisch Oilsands Quest. Da gibt es eine winzig kleine Erholung auf Wochenbasis, damit der Absturz zum Wochenende dann noch tiefer fällt, als wir vorher schon dastanden. Mann mann mann, das ist nicht zu fassen.
Fully diluted stehen wir jetzt auf 85Mio Euro Marktcap. Ich kann es nicht begreifen. Wie kann man eine Aktie mit 10Mrd Barrel gut gesättigter Ölsande nur so den Bach runter laufen lassen?
Mann o mann, die Talfahrt muss doch irgendwann mal stoppen. Der Aktienkurs fällt seit ewig langer Zeit schneller, als dass neue Dilution entsteht. Das muss irgendwann stoppen. Das geht ja alleine mathematisch gar nicht Anders.

[Punicamelon]

Mittlerweile stehen wir bei 0,243USD umgerechnet 0,173Euro, Marktcap fullydiluted ca 72Mio Euro. Wo soll das noch hinführen? Die Aktie scheint also weiterhin im freien Fall zu sein und ich verstehe das Managment nicht, denn je weiter der Kurs fällt, desto geringer sind die Chancen auf Aquirierung von Kapital und die Firma hat doch noch so viel vor.
Es ist sowas von schade, dass Oilsands Quest keine vernünftigen Kapitalbedarfsstudien zu ihren Projekten veröffentlicht hat, das wäre in solch einer Phase mehr als nötig um langfristige Investoren zum bleiben zu überzeugen.
Wie kann man nur so mit den Aktionären umgehen, das kapier ich beim Besten Willen nicht

[Muskalowski]

Das wars heute, weshalb!!!

CALGARY, July 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Oilsands Quest Inc. (NYSE Amex: BQI) ("OQI" or "the Company").

Oilsands Quest is pleased to announce that it has received approval from the Government of Saskatchewan to convert portions of the Axe Lake permits to 15-year leases. These leases, the first oil sands leases in Saskatchewan, are one of the key elements the Company needs in place to proceed to development of a commercial oil sands production facility.

"These leases mark a key milestone in our path forward," said Garth Wong, Chief Executive Officer of Oilsands Quest. "In the past, some potential investors have expressed concern about the short term permits under which the Axe Lake lands were held. The 15-year leases will give us the certainty of land tenure we need to underpin commercial development at Axe Lake. The Government of Saskatchewan has demonstrated its commitment to oil sands exploration and development, and we appreciate its confidence that Oilsands Quest will be able to deliver on the value of these assets both for our investors and for the people of Saskatchewan."

The two leases, OSA00001 and 0SA00002 will be governed under the terms of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulations, 1969 and will expire on March 31, 2027.

An einem Tag +60% ist natürlich saftig, aber als ob das so das grosse Problem wäre, eine Genehmigung für Ölsand zu bekommen für ein Waldgebiet, was sowieso komplett platt gemacht wird. Das war doch nun wirklich seit 30Jahren mehr als klar, die Umweltschützer wurden seit Jahrzehnten mundtot gemacht
Ich bin jetzt mal gespannt, wie Oilsands Quest jährlich 40-60Mio USD für ihre weiteren Explorationsarbeiten auftreiben wollen, denn die Marktcap sind gerade mal nur noch 132MioUSD und Axe lake geht frühstens 2017 in Produktion (Cash Flow). 50% Dillution pro Jahr ist wohl ein bisschen unrealistisch und mehr als unfair den Altaktionären gegenüber, die beim 20fachen Kurs gekauft haben

[Charly]

Hallo Puni, kannst du bitte mal den neuen Bezugsrechthandel und das Bzugsrecht erläutern - werde nicht schlau aus den ganzen Zahlen!? Vielen Dank!

[Punicamelon]

Oilsands Quest braucht wieder mal Geld, na Klasse, das haben die sich mal wieder sehr früh überlegt. Es geht wieder einmal um 60Millionen USD, also die übliche Summe, die jedes Jahr für EXPLORATION und den FORTBESTAND des Unternehmensflusses benötigt wird und nicht etwa für den Aufbau von Cashflow bringenden Projekten. Doch diesmal ist man von Unverschämtheit kaum zu toppen. Man fragt anscheinend gar keine einzelnen ausgewählten Grossinvestoren mehr, sondern dieses Mal werden ALLE Aktionäre nach Geld gefragt und man will unglaubliche, dreiste 300Millionen Aktien unter das Volk jubeln. Fully diluted liegen wir meines Wissens nach bei 413Mio und diese erneuten 300Mio Shares würden mit dieser erneut geplanten Verwässerung die Gesamtzahl FAST VERDOPPELN. Das ist Hohn und Spott , ja die totale Veräppelung für Diejenigen Aktionäre, die bei Kursen zwischen 2 bis 4Euro, 5Jahre lang etwa 300Mio Aktien eingesammelt haben.
Die Raffgier dieser Firma ist von Beispielhaftigkeit kaum zu übertreffen. Man hätte längt 10% oder 20% seiner Assets Verkaufen können und zich Milliarden Dollar einnehmen können und wäre Langzeit ohne jegliche Verwässerung ausgekommen. Statt dessen wird gerafft gerafft gerafft, bloss nichts hergeben und nun steht die Firma meiner Meinung nach vor sehr ernsthaften Finanzierungsproblemen. Aber man spielt jetzt sogar Gott und gibt -40% Rabatt auf den gestrigen Aktienkurs. Ich spare mir jegliche weiteren Worte, ich würde den ganzen Thread sonst zuheulen.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 41.820.917 von Charly am 21.07.11 08:34:16

Man will 300Shares je 0,20USD ausgeben. Beim gestrigen Kurs waren das ungefähr 0,84 Bezugsrechte pro Aktie. Aber der Aktienkurs fällt immer weiter, bald sind wir bei 1:1 Sei froh, wenn der Aktienkurs nicht unter 0,20 fällt, sonst verlieren Deine Bezugsrechte sogar an Wert und Du hast sofort Verluste

[Punicamelon]

In EINEM Rutsch runter von 35Cent auf 20Komma, das ist nicht zu fassen. Damit ist fast im Alleingang der gesamte Bonusaufschlag für das Aktienemmissionsprogramm aufgebraucht. Jetzt bin ich wirklich gespannt, was passiert.
Wenn Oilsands Quest die 60Mio USD durch die Kapitalerhöhung bekommt, laufen wir Richtung 30Cent, wenn nein, kann die 20 nach unten klar gebrochen werden und dann brennt der Baum lichterloh. Die Aktie ist jetzt besonders hochspekulativ und man kann von hoher Volatilität ausgehen.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 41.888.772 von Punicamelon am 03.08.11 23:26:21

Mit jedem weiteren placement oder rights issure geht es weiter nach unten, so das die Verwässerung hier jedes Jahr grössser ausfällt. Wenn jetzt der Aktienkurs UNTER das Niveau des RI fällt, doht sogar eine weitere Absenkung des Ausgabepreises und noch grössere dillution. Wer zeichnet/kauft schon neue Aktien wenn er die Alten noch billiger kriegen kann...?
Und das kann zu einem Teufelskreis führen: RI > Kurs fällt unter RI-Niveau > neuse RI mit mehr Verwässerung und geringerem Ausgabepreis > Kurs fällt unter RI-Niveau > neuse RI mit mehr Verwässerung und geringerem Ausgabepreis > Kurs fällt unter RI-Niveau > neuse RI mit mehr Verwässerung und geringerem Ausgabepreis > ... = ein perpeduum mobile
(hab ich gerade bei Navigator mit durchgemacht)

Und die Tatsache, dass Oilsand Quest keinen Grossinvestor finden konnte und auch keinen Underwriter spricht Bände. Wenn das placement jetzt floppt droht hier richtig Ungemach!!!

[Punicamelon]

Jetzt ist es passiert! Oilsands Quest hat die 20Cent unterschritten und ist auf 0,18USD gefallen! Bin gespannt, wie Oilsands Quest darauf reagiert.

Die vielen Investoren der letzten 7Jahre tun mir sowas von Leid. Sie stehen vor einem Trümmerhaufen mit wie viel Verlust? Durchschnittlich -93%? Bravo!

Wird diese Aktie jemals wieder gehandelt??? Wie dämlich ist das???

Wie geht's hier eigentlich weiter?
Ist schon Game Over? Weiß jemand etwas?

Oilsands Quest wird seit ein paar Tagen wieder gehandelt! Erster Kurs -75% auf 0,03Euro!

Ohne Worte!

Nochmals ein bisschen runter von 3Cent (August) auf jetzt einen HALBEN Cent, ohne Worte!
Mein Beileid für alle Investierten. Hier wurde eine Aktie totgemacht mit Kapitalerhöhungen.
