Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. – Reserves and Drilling Update
25. August 2009 maximumprofit Bearbeiten Kommentieren Kommentare lesen

Shaikan-1, Shaikan Block

Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP), an independent oil and gas exploration company, today provides a drilling update on the Shaikan-1 exploration well operated by Gulf Keystone Petroleum International (50% GKP, 50% ETAMIC). The well is located in the Shaikan Block, situated near the city of Dihok, in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. Drilling has now reached a depth of 1,710 meters and has encountered an oil column in excess of 170 meters within the Sargelu, Alan and Mus formations. At this stage, the Company believes this to be a single reservoir and hence an extension of the same discovery announced on 6 Aug 2009. As previously announced, the Alan and Mus formations were identified as the primary oil bearing zones of interest for Shaikan-1, with total potential volumes of oil-in-place in excess of 1.5 billion barrels. The open hole log data, together with an extracted core from the new interval, confirm the presence of a extensive fracture system, which appears to be oil saturated throughout. Furthermore, no water has been encountered. This new data provides Gulf Keystone with grounds for a revised range of oil-in-place volumes of between 1.5 and 3.0 billion barrels for the oil encountered, thus far. In the field, the Company will continue to drill ahead to the next casing point at approximately 2,500 metres, before subsequently reaching final target depth at 3,200 to 3,500 metres, subject to well results. Todd Kozel, Executive Chairman of Gulf Keystone, commented: „We are greatly encouraged by the discovery of a second interval in what we believe to be a single and significant reservoir within the Sargelu, Alan and Mus formations. Even at this early stage, the commerciality of this discovery is substantially strengthened by our upward revision of the oil-in-place estimate. The Shaikan-1 is proving to be a value-transforming discovery for Gulf Keystone.”

Significant Oil Discovery in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Shaikan-1, Shaikan Block

Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP), an independent oil and gas exploration company announces that Gulf Keystone Petroleum International (50% GKP, 50% ETAMIC) has made a significant discovery at the Shaikan-1 exploration well. The well is located in the Shaikan Block, situated near the city of Dihok, approximately 85 kilometres North-West of Erbil in the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq.
The well has encountered oil in the Sargelu formation at a depth of 1,450 to 1,510 meters. Shallow zone live oil shows within the formation were announced on 24 June 2009 on initial drilling. Preliminary test rates indicate 5,000 to 8,000 barrels of 21 to 22 degree API oil per day with wellhead pressures of 380 to 295 pounds per square inch. The measured oil properties for this section are comparable to the oil now being produced at the Tawke Field, located to the north west of the Shaikan Block.

Gulf Keystone will use this new data along with existing seismic and geological data to evaluate the potential resources discovered in this formation. GKP is currently using 300 to 500 million barrels of oil in place as a preliminary estimate for the tested interval.

In addition to these well test results, it should be noted that the primary zones of interest for the Shaikan-1 exploration well are the underlying Alan and Mus formations, in which we are targeting potential further oil bearing zones with possible oil in place values in excess of 1.5 billion barrels. Indications are that these formations will yield additional oil-bearing zones as we drill ahead to our next casing point at approximately 2,500 metres, following the current well test, before subsequently reaching final target depth at 3,200 to 3,500 metres, depending on well results. Todd Kozel, Executive Chairman of Gulf Keystone, commented: "We are excited by this initial discovery, the first ever successful oil flow test from the Sargelu formation in Iraq.
We are also encouraged by the implications of this initial discovery for the prospectivity of the remaining portion of the Shaikan-1 well, and the two recently acquired blocks to the west of Shaikan, especially the Sheik Adi Block
(80% GKPI).
These initial results offer an early validation of the company's decision to redefine its strategic focus on the Kurdistan Region of Iraq."

Hier ein interessanter Beitrag vom advfn board in GB.

Not a lot of news since I last posted here hence I have been quiet and maintaining a low profile. A breather and slight fall was to be expected following the price catapulting to the dizzy heights of 100p. We have continued to buy (allbeit in smaller tranches) in the past few days as we feel that a takeover is likely in the not too distant future at a significant premium to where the price is now. There has been less available to buy and as shorters are also selling to open postitions this has menat that we have not been able to buy large amounts. We have had to settle for only partial fills which has lead us to think that there are other desks/funds still accumulating.
That being said, the price has held up well and this should be reassuring to those still holding.
I can't be sure but as the volume has dropped in recent days and the stock has been more difficult to buy in size it is likely that funds, investment co's or other desks are also still in the hunt.
I'll only post if I have something of value or something significant to inform you of. At the minute patience is key and I'm confident that we will all be rewarded within the next month.

Bermuda oil company's shares rocket after Iraqi well estimate doubles


Black gold: An oil field in Iraqi Kurdistan that is being developed by Bermuda-based oil exploration company Gulf Keystone.

LONDON (Bloomberg) — Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd., a Bermuda-based explorer of Middle East oil, rocketed in London trading after saying its Shaikan-1 well in Kurdistan may contain twice as much crude as originally forecast.

On Tuesday Gulf Keystone rose as high as 109 pence, more than double Monday's closing price, and traded up 71 percent at 90 pence in London. Yesterday the stock retreated eight pence.

The stock is up more than fourfold this year, valuing the company at £430 million ($732 million).

Shaikan-1 well, located near the Northern Iraqi city of Dihok, may hold as much as three billion barrels of oil, Gulf Keystone said in a statement on Tuesday. Initial estimates suggested the well would contain about 1.5 billion barrels, the company said.

The well is a "value-transforming discovery", chief executive officer Todd Kozel said in the statement. The company said in July that it would sell stakes in Nigeria to focus on Kurdistan.

Oil producers have flocked to Iraq since the autonomous Kurdish region in the north started to export crude in June. Exports prompted a surge of takeovers, including China Petrochemical Corp.'s $7.2 billion bid for Addax Petroleum Corp. and a reverse takeover of Turkey's Genel Energy International Ltd. by Heritage Oil Ltd. for $2.5 billion.

Iraq approves Kurdistan oil contracts
27. August 2009 maximumprofit Bearbeiten Kommentieren

According to Kurdish newspapers, Iraq has approved an oil production contract between Kurdistan and foreign oil companies.

Iraq approved an oil contract in Kurdistan that was awarded to Chinese oil giant SINOPEC following its acquisition of the Swiss Adax Petroleum.
Investments in Taq-Taq oilfield will amount to $500 million. The maximum production capacity [of the field] will be 180k bpd but production will start at 40k bpd. The crude will be transported to a storage facility via a 9km long pipeline that was recently built. From there, tanker trucks will take the oil to the Kirkuk-Cehan pipeline. The oilfield is operated by the Turkish Genel Enerji and the Swiss Adax companies as well as the government of Kurdistan. Genel Enerji and Adax will share 12% of export revenues while the remaining 88% will go to the federal government through the Kurdish government in Kurdistan.

So, habe meinen Einstand jetzt verdoppelt. Kann leider über die Ing-DiBa nur in Berlin oder Tradegate handeln. in Berlin kam es wohl durch die Stoploss Auslösungen zu einen passablen Kurs von 0,88 Euro.

Der aktuelle Rücksetzer ist m.E. immer noch im grünen Bereich, da viele erst zu den Höchstständen eingestiegen sind und nun, mangels Kenntnissen, die Geduld verlieren.
Schon zum Ende nächster Woche wird mit weiteren News aus dem nächsten tieferen Bohrabschnitt gerechnet, dann wird es wieder spannend.

Iraq’s oil ministry is offering contracts to develop 10 of its prized oilfields

Forty-five of the world’s major energy companies have qualified to compete in Iraq’s next bidding round for contracts to develop its vast oil fields, the second such auction since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. The auction for some of Iraq’s largest undeveloped oilfields is scheduled for November. Iraq sits on the world’s third-largest oil reserves. Not all the qualified companies competed in the first round. Baghdad awarded only one of eight contracts offered in the first round in June. BP and China’s CNPC won a deal to develop Rumaila, one of the world’s largest producing fields. The following is a list supplied by Iraq’s contracts and licencing directorate of the 45 companies qualified for the second round: Anadarko, BG Group, BHP Billiton, BP, Cairn Energy, Chevron, CNOOC, CNPC, ConocoPhillips, Edison, ENI, Exxon Mobil, Gazprom, Hess, Inpex, Japex, JOGMEC, JSC KazMunaiGas, Kogas, Lukoil, Maersk, Marathon, Mitsubishi, Mitsui Oil Exploration Co., Nexen Inc, Nippon Oil Corp., Tatneft, Occidental, Oil India, ONGC, Pakistan Petroleum, Pertamina, Petrovietnam, Petronas, Repsol, Rosneft, Royal Dutch Shell, Sinochem, Sinopec, Sonangol, StatoilHydro, Total, Turkish Petroleum (TPAO), Wintershall BASF Group, Woodside

Iraq’s oil ministry is offering contracts to develop 10 of its prized oilfields, some of the world’s largest, in the country’s second bidding round for oil fields since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003. The auction for the long-term development contracts on the untapped fields is set for late November. The reserves on offer from these fields alone were about the same as all the oil held by OPEC member Libya. Baghdad awarded only one of eight contracts offered in the first round in June. BP and China’s CNPC won a deal to develop Rumaila, one of the world’s largest producing oil fields.

GKP Appointment of Independent E&P Consultant and Drilling Update
Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP), an independent oil and gas exploration company, announces that it has appointed Dynamic Global Advisors (“DGA“), an independent E&P advisory, to perform an independent assessment of discoveries made in the Company’s Shaikan-1 well in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq. DGA will shortly issue a preliminary report on the previously announced oil discoveries in the Shaikan-1 well between 1467m to 1710m MD. This initial report will subsequently be revised to incorporate the log results of the additional oil intervals between 1710m and GKP’s planned 9-5/8″ casing point to be set at approximately 2500m MD. GKP anticipates reaching this casing point in the immediate future. Beyond the 9-5/8″ casing shoe, the Shaikan-1 well will drill into the Triassic rock layers to explore the remaining primary hydrocarbon targets, before reaching final target depth at 3200 to 3500m MD. DGA has also been commissioned to address any findings of interest for investors in this phase of drilling. Todd Kozel, Executive Chairman of Gulf Keystone, commented: „We are delighted to announce the appointment of Dynamic Global Advisors as an independent consultant to Gulf Keystone. The board of GKP believes it is a constructive and valuable step to provide investors and other stakeholders with third-party analysis and assessment of the discoveries at this relatively early stage. „GKP will shortly be poised to explore below the next geological horizon, the Triassic level, where we will very likely encounter different drilling conditions. The Triassic level contains an exciting set of target structures, and we look into the future with optimism as we continue to drill towards final target depth.“

DNO International ASA’s suspension from producing oil in Iraq highlights the risks for explorers seeking to tap the world’s third-largest reserves. The Kurdistan regional government shut down operations at Oslo-based DNO, the first foreign company to pump crude in Iraq since the 1970s, for as many as six weeks after its role in a share transaction was disclosed by the Oslo exchange amid an investigation of the deal. The government said on Sept. 21 that DNO must act to repair the damage to its reputation after it was fined by the bourse for a delay in providing information. The DNO dispute “raises some concerns on investments in the region,” said Al Stanton, an RBC Capital Markets analyst with a “sector perform” rating on the company. “It has again highlighted the uncertainty associated with the fiscal and legal terms and that is a worry for us.” Disagreement between regions and sectarian groups has delayed a nationwide oil law in Iraq, even as officials are attempting to attract producers such as Exxon Mobil Corp. to bid on licenses and increase production after almost two decades of sanctions and war. DNO started exports in June from the semi- autonomous region, five years after signing an agreement. The Kurdish area signed production-sharing agreements with companies such as DNO and Addax Petroleum Corp. on its own, accords deemed invalid by Iraq’s federal government based in Baghdad. While exports began in June, there hasn’t been agreement on payment terms. Shipments from the region are made through Iraq’s State Oil Marketing Organization and revenue is deposited with the central treasury.

Oil Law

“We don’t know how it will impact results as we don’t know how long production is going to be shut down,” Mark Edwards, a London-based spokesman for DNO, said by phone yesterday.
Iraq has drafted a national oil law to regulate foreign companies’ rights and obligations and split crude revenue throughout the country’s different groups. The measure has been held up in parliament before January’s scheduled elections as the nation struggles with output six years after the U.S.-led invasion ousted former dictator Saddam Hussein. Iraq awarded just one out of eight service contracts offered during a bidding round for licenses in June and plans a second round before the end of the year to attract the investors and technology. Companies like Exxon and Royal Dutch Shell Plc balked at accepting to work for field service fees the Iraqi government said it was willing to pay that were less than half what the producers proposed.

What’s Offered?

The world’s top 10 non-state oil producers, including Exxon and Shell, are qualified to bid in the second round. All but one of them made offers for fields in the first tender, which only attracted one successful bid, from BP Plc and China National Petroleum Corp. StatoilHydro ASA, Norway’s biggest oil and gas producer which is pre-qualified for the second round, yesterday said it was monitoring the DNO situation. “We’re still in the process of looking at what’s being offered in the second licensing round, and in that context there are a number of important things for us to assess, such as economy, safety, ethics and the political situation,” Mari Dotterud, a StatoilHydro spokeswoman said. “We monitor the events closely and continuously reassess.” BP and Exxon declined to comment on their plans in the country while a Shell spokeswoman said the company, based in The Hague, remains interested in opportunities to work in Iraq and is reviewing the situation regarding the next licensing round.

Bid Qualification

About 45 companies are qualified to bid in the second round, giving them a shot at a stake in the long-term potential held by the country’s 115 billion barrels of reserves. Iraqi Oil Minister Hussain al-Shahristani said the country aims to boost production to about 6 million barrels a day by 2015, from about 2.5 million barrels a day. Saudi Arabia, the world’s biggest oil exporter, produces 8 million barrels a day. Oil producers such as Exxon and Shell have avoided the Kurdish region because the central government said it would exclude any firms signing deals there from bidding elsewhere, according to Muhammad-Ali Zainy, a senior energy analyst at the Centre for Global Energy Studies in London. “Not having an oil law is a big drawback,” he said. DNO estimated sales of 129 million kroner ($22 million) in the second quarter from Iraq. There’s no timeline for when it will get paid, Chief Executive Officer Helge Eide said on Sept. 2. DNO delivers 45,000 barrels a day from its Tawke field through a pipeline to Turkey. It owns 55 percent of the field, which has reserves of 150 million to 370 million barrels.

Operations Halted

The Kurdistan Ministry of Natural Resources in a Sept. 21 letter informed DNO its operations would be halted for a maximum of six weeks and said it needs to “remedy, and to our full satisfaction, the damage done to the KRG reputation and for once and all to sort its internal problems” with the exchange. DNO would not be entitled “to any economic interest” during the suspension, the authority said. The exchange last week disclosed that the authority acted as a middleman in a transaction of 43 million shares of DNO in October last year, a role DNO had sought to keep undisclosed. The exchange urged the company to disclose the contacts between Kurdistan Natural Resource Minister Ashti Hawrami and DNO’s Eide regarding the transaction. The Kurdistan government said it got involved to help DNO with capital and that no officials benefited. The bourse started the probe after DNO sold shares to an undisclosed buyer. DNO has said it “will explore all options available to protect the interests of DNO shareholders.”

No Benefits

“It’s hard to see exactly where this is going to go,” said Samuel Ciszuk, an energy analyst at IHS Global Insight in London. “It’s problematic for the KRG if they throw them out because they would probably undermine how people see the security of doing business in Iraqi Kurdistan. They would be as much of a loser as DNO.” The start of exports in June sparked a surge of interest in the area. Heritage Oil Ltd. agreed to combine with Turkey’s Genel Energy International Ltd. for 1.52 billion pounds ($2.5 billion) on June 9, becoming the region’s biggest producer. Two weeks later, China Petrochemical Corp., China’s second-largest oil company, agreed to buy Geneva-based Addax Petroleum Corp. Other companies operating in the region include Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. and Vast Exploration Inc. Talisman Chief Executive Officer John Manzoni said on Sept. 8 that the company is waiting to expand projects in Kurdistan until there is a settlement between the Iraqi central government and the Kurdish authorities.

Sterling Well

Sterling Energy Plc, a London-listed explorer, said today it’s preparing its first exploration well on the Sangaw North block in Kurdistan in the fourth quarter, noting success rates for recent such drilling in Kurdistan are about 50 percent. The potential reward of large finds in Iraqi Kurdistan makes the risk worthwhile for the smaller companies like DNO operating there, IHS’s Ciszuk said.
“If they start getting paid, they’ve made a very good deal,” Ciszuk said. The opportunity for a find that could add 100,000 to 150,000 barrels of output a day for one of these companies could be “a game changer.”

DNO shares rebound on Kurdish minister comments
25. September 2009maximumprofitBearbeitenKommentieren
OSLO, (Reuters) – Shares in Norwegian oil producer DNO International were up 9.1 percent early on Friday after Kurdistan’s Foreign Minister said he believed the company would resume its operations in the Kurdish region. DNO shares plunged as much as 55 percent on Thursday on fears the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) may make permanent its temporary suspension of DNO activities in northern Iraq. Iraqi Kurdistan Foreign Minister Falah Bakir told reporters in Washington D.C. late on Thursday that he did not believe that DNO’s license suspension was permanent. “When this issue is sorted out between the Oslo Stock Exchange and DNO, I am confident they will resume,“ he said, adding that Kurdistan has been supportive of DNO.

Shaikan-1 Drilling update


Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP), an independent oil and gas exploration
company, is pleased to announce that it has set the intermediate 9-5/8" casing
on its Shaikan-1 exploration well operated by Gulf Keystone Petroleum
International (50% GKP, 50% ETAMIC). The well is located in the Shaikan Block,
situated near the city of Dihok, in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq.


Casing has been set at 2,275 meters and completes our drilling of the Jurassic
portion of the exploration well. Prior to setting the casing, the open hole
interval was logged and preliminary log results indicate the addition of
approximately 80 additional net meters of oil pay from the Butmah formation to
previously announced discoveries in the Sargelu, Alan and Mus formations.


With the drilling of the Butmah formation, the gross reservoir interval has
increased from 335 meters to 575 meters and the net reservoir interval has
increased from 93 meters to 172 meters.


This additional reservoir section exhibits low energy with oil gravities in the
range of 18 degrees API and very little associated gas. As with other pay
intervals encountered in this well, there is a well developed, natural fracture
system throughout the carbonate pay intervals. The drilled formations have
excellent overall permeability, often in excess of 5 darcies. At this initial
stage, the well characteristics indicate that the application of standard
production technology, such as electric submersible pumps, should result in
commercial production rates and this will be evaluated as part of an extended
well test following completion of the well.


These log results combined with knowledge gained from the previously announced
interval has raised the estimation of the total barrels of oil in place by the
Gulf Keystone internal technical team. Based upon the Company's own internal
analysis, this data provides for a revised range of oil-in-place volumes for the
Shaikan structure of between 2.0 and 4.0 billion barrels for the oil in place,
encountered thus far.


Drilling into the top of the Triassic formations has begun and the Company
anticipates reaching a final drilling depth of 3,200 to 3,500 meters, subject to
well results.


Todd Kozel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Keystone, commented:


"The incremental volumes found in the Butmah formation give further
encouragement that we have made an outstanding discovery which will prove
transformational for Gulf Keystone."

Shaikan-1 Triassic Discovery



Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP) today announces an oil discovery in the
upper portions of the Triassic section of the Shaikan - 1 exploration well. A
short, limited flow test was conducted to determine reservoir content following
multiple drilling breaks, indicative of increased porosity, between 2,402 and
2,483m. This limited test resulted in 40+ degree API oil rates up to 2,000 bopd
and associated gas rates of up to 2 mmscf/d, yielding a gas/oil ratio of
approximately 1,000 scf/bbl.


This high energy, light oil discovery is in addition to the 2.0 to 4.0 billion
barrels of heavier (22 to 17 degree API gravity) oil previously announced at
various levels throughout the shallower Jurassic intervals.


The discovery of these high energy, light oil zones within the upper levels of
the Triassic significantly improve chances of finding additional light oil
targets in the 700 to 1000 meters still to be drilled.


This most recent discovery will be logged when drilling has reached final TD,
prior to setting the final, 7", casing string. The Company plans to install a
workover rig following completion of drilling operations in order to commence
extended testing of the multiple pay zones present in the Shaikan -1 exploration
well.


Todd Kozel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gulf Keystone, commented:


"The discovery of a higher energy reservoir in the upper portions of the
Triassic section of the Shaikan - 1, while very significant in its own right,
should also prove very beneficial to future development and exploitation of the
large reserves of heavier, low GOR oil in the Jurassic portion of the well."

NEWS
Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP), today announces the results of a preliminary evaluation of the Shaikan-1 discovery as of 22 October 2009. Given the materiality of the discovery, the Company felt it prudent to seek independent evaluation of the Shaikan-1 well, despite being at an early stage of evaluation and testing. Accordingly, Shaikan-1 has been independently evaluated by Dynamic Global Advisors (“DGA“), an independently-owned E&P consultancy, providing advice and services to national, institutional, and corporate clients worldwide. This preliminary evaluation report reviews the data from the Jurassic formations of Shaikan-1 tested to a depth of 2,055 meters and was carried out inaccordance with the Petroleum Resources Management System (“PRMS“) guidelines, using SPE definitions.

Key findings:

* The Shaikan-1 well has discovered a significant resource of low gravity oil in
the Jurassic Barsarin, Sargelu, Alan, Mus and Butmah formation

* The range of oil in-place for the Shaikan structure is estimated to be a gross
1.0 to 5.3 billion barrels of oil, with a mean of 2.8 billion barrels of oil

* As additional data below 2,055 meters is evaluated, the resource estimates will
increase

The figures provided are discovered oil in-place for the Shaikan structure. Given the preliminary nature of the report, and with Shaikan-1 still an active exploration well, DGA were not asked to provide analysis of recovery factors. The necessary data for the company to evaluate meaningful recovery factors will be gathered during the extended well test, scheduled to commence in late 2009, after Shaikan-1 reaches target depth. Todd Kozel, Executive Chairman of Gulf Keystone, commented:
„The DGA report confirms independently, the transformational nature of this
outstanding discovery. We look forward to the next iteration of DGA’s report
which will address the Triassic discoveries made below 2,055 meters.“

Well update rumours lift Gulf Keystone
Financial Times

Saturday, Nov 07, 2009

Gulf Keystone edged higher yesterday amid talk the explorer was set to release another positive drilling update on its Shaikan-1 well in Kurdistan, Iraq.

Results of an independent assessment of the Shaikan structure released last month showed Shaikan-1 could contain 1bn-5.3bn barrels of oil.

There was also speculation that the company could launch an equity placing of up to £48m to fund development of the prospect. Gulf Keystone rose 0.5 per cent

Iraq's Kurds to hold on to oil revenues -Barzani

Article layout: raw
By Luke Baker

BRUSSELS, Nov 10 (Reuters) - The president of Iraq's Kurdish region criticised the central government on Tuesday for its failure to draw up a clear law on sharing oil revenues and said the Kurds would hold on to what they earn for now.
Speaking during a visit to the European Parliament, Masoud Barzani said Kurdistan had the right to retain the income from the export of about 100,000 barrels of oil per day, despite a law stating that all Iraq's oil and gas assets are shared.
"The Iraqi oil ministry has failed ... in their laws and therefore we are not obliged to adhere to the oil laws of Iraq because they have failed in producing a much more transparent situation," Barzani told a news conference.
"Eight billion dollars has been used by the Iraqi oil ministry for development of oil production but unfortunately the level of production has dropped. Therefore we have no faith in that law that already exists," he said through a translator.


Iraq's central government and semi-autonomous Kurdistan have since 2004 engaged in a long-running dispute over Iraq's vast oil and gas assets and the growing revenue generated by them. The discord threatens to aggravate the political strains that already exist between autonomy-minded Kurds and Shi'ites.
According to Iraq's constitution, all the country's hydrocarbon assets are shared and there is a formula for distributing the income among regions, with the Kurdish region granted 17 percent of total oil revenues.
But Kurdistan, which occupies the top third of Iraq along the borders with Turkey, Iran and Syria, has been quicker to exploit the oil and gas assets that lie in its territory and is reluctant to give up the revenue they generate.
Foreign investors including Norway's DNO International and Toronto-listed Addax Petroleum have helped expand the region's oil production to 100,000 barrels a day, generating potential income of $2.9 billion a year at current oil prices of nearly $80 a barrel.
Barzani said on Tuesday output could increase tenfold to more than 1 million barrels a day by the end of 2011, bringing forward a previous forecast for that level of output in 2012. But the income would not be shared, he said.
"Until the disputed areas are resolved, we feel that the share of Kurdistan of 17 percent should go to the account of Kurdistan by itself and not be distributed by the finance (ministry) in Baghdad because often they use that as a weapon against us," Barzani said. "We believe it is our right."
While the Kurdish region moved rapidly after the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 to boost oil output, the central government is catching up, signing a series of development contracts with major international oil companies in recent months.
If all the deals in the pipeline come together in the coming years, Iraq is set to triple its total oil output to 7 million barrels per day, making it the world's largest producer after Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Ein Blick nach hier:
http://maximumprofit.wordpress.com/
man ist auf den neusten Stand

Du gibst dir sehr viel Mühe, was sicherlich auch viele zu schätzen wissen.
Leider bewegt es kaum jemanden zur Konversation, was für dich sicherlich sehr ärgerlich ist.
Ich sehe es mal aus meiner Sicht. Ich bin kein Profi wie du, noch habe ich riesig Ahnung vom Ölgeschäft. Deshalb halte ich mich größtenteils raus.

Durch GKP bin ich damals er zufällig durch dich im Thread "Rohstoff-Explorer: Research und Neuvorstellung" aufmerksam geworden und noch recht zeitig aufgesprungen. Seit dem ist GKP sehr gut gelaufen und der Buchgewinn sieht nett aus.
GKP läuft und das Ende der Fahnenstange ist hier sicherlich noch nicht erreicht.
Dass man gewillt ist, weiterhin für die Anleger interessant zu bleiben, zeigt ja die News vom Juli 2009 - Man strebt den Verkauf des Anteils von Hassi Ba Hamou in Algerien an. Hierfür sind aber wieder Genehmigungen erforderlich. Genehmigungen dauern in der Regel ja auf der ganzen Welt recht lange.
Vielleicht gibt es hierzu noch eine positive News bis Ende des Jahres, sodass man sich voll auf den Nordirak konzentrieren kann.

Sehr interessant auch sein Kommentar damals:
Vorsitzender Todd Kozel kommentierte: "Kurdistan bietet unseren Aktionären erhebliche kurzfristige Aufwärtspotenzial und es ist daher strategisch überzeugend, dass Gulf Keystone all seinen Cash-Ressourcen und Anstrengungen auf die Erhaltung der Schnelllebigkeit Explorationsbohrungen des Landes konzentrieren sollte."

"Mit dem Beginn der Öl-Exporte aus Kurdistan keinen Erfolg aus unseren aktuellen und geplanten Aktionen könnten auch die Ölproduktion Umsatz in relativ kurzer Zeit führen. Dies bedeutet auch, dass wir Chancen ergreifen müssen, um Werte aus dem Vermögen erkennen, wo die Renditen sind weniger überzeugend ", fügte er hinzu.

Wo er Recht hatte! Das will man als Anleger hören und dann auch am Kurs sehen.

Die bisherigen Bohrergebnisse und der Kurs sprechen für sich.

Die News auf die du ja schon ein Weilchen wartest, wird sicherlich auch bald kommen. Ich rechne mal mit einer Erhöhung auf 3,0 Mrd. Barrel. Ob nun nächste Woche oder am 31.12.09, ist eigentlich egal. Mit einer negativen Überraschung rechnet hier sicherlich keiner.
Für die erste Bohrung ist es doch Super.

Warum es kaum einen interessiert?
Kein Börsenbrief? Keine bezahlten Pusher?

Nicht zu vergessen das hohe Länderrisiko und die politische Lage.

Ich finde es sehr gut, dass die Kurden sich mehr oder weniger für die westlichen Firmen einsetzen. DNO, Heritage, GKP.
Die Kurden wollen wenigstens vorantreiben. Was nützt das ganze Öl im Boden, wenn kein Geld für die Bevölkerung da ist.
Die Iraker sollen sich ja nicht ausbeuten lassen. Es muss halt eine Win Win Situation für alle „Beteiligten“ geben. Aber dass scheint ja das Problem von der Regierung in Bagdad zu sein? In deren Augen müssten die viel mehr bekommen, als die anderen.
Aber die Gesetze macht ja nun mal Bagdad und die werden sich ja nicht wirklich grün.
Einmal ist DNO enteignet. Einmal wieder nicht.
Was soll man davon halten?
Das schlimmste was passieren kann. GKP stellt die Ressourcen fest und darf dann ohne was nach Hause fahren. Geld verpulvert, nix in der Hand.

Ich hab mir letztens mal den DNO Thread komplett durchgelesen, sodass ich einen kleinen Überblick bekomme.
Grundsätzlich finde ich DNO verdammt sexy im derzeitigen Kursbereich.
- production increased from 11,753 bopd in second quarter to 29,783 bopd in third quarter
- der Reingewinn betrug bis jetzt 413,9 Mio. NOK

Keinen interessierte es. Der Kurs hat auch nicht wirklich gesprochen. An was lag es?

Interessante News zu Heritage:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/oilan…

Wo andere Angst haben zu investieren, da sollte man ruhig seine Hand schon mit drin haben.
Die Kurden wollen das Ölgeschäft vorantreiben.
DNO produziert schon. Wenn man die des Landes verweist und mehr oder weniger enteignet, dann würde es sicherlich keine neuen Investoren anlocken.
GKP hat mit der ersten Bohrung schon mächtig Öl nachgewiesen. Die wollen ihre Algerien Liegenschaften loswerden und sich voll auf den Irak konzentrieren.

Heritage will sich auch voll auf den Irak konzentrieren und will seine Uganda Ölfelder verkaufen.

Für mich sind das alles mehr als positive News für den Irak.

Auch wenn hier nicht viele schreiben, denke ich schon, dass es einige den Verlauf mitverfolgen. Im „iii“ Board soll ja der User „viiva87“ aus dem Irak kommen. Ob es nun wirklich stimmt, kann man ja durch die Anonymität des Internets nicht nachvollziehen. Trotzdem recht interessant, was er so schreibt.
Zu lesen gibt es immer was, auch wenn nicht gerade immer bei W O.

Anderseits macht es dann gerade wieder W O aus, denn viele sind nicht mehr übrig. XIO ist auch so einer, der sich nicht aus der Ruhe bringen lässt, auch wenn ihm ganz alleine der Thread gehört. Es ist ja auch nicht umsonst. Ich und viele andere auch, lesen seine, deine, eure Postings und sind dafür dankbar.

das hier ist beeindruckend
Overall, the Shaikan-1 well has discovered well over 1,000m of oil column and in excess of 200m of net pay, of which only 30% has been tested at rates of 31,000boed of aggregate production (7,000 bopd from the Jurassic and 24,000 boe per day from the Triassic). This aggregate potential should rise significantly as the company undertakes longer term well tests that will be conducted after the drilling rig leaves location. During these tests, the low energy, but excellent permeability reservoirs of the Jurassic will be tested using electric submersible pumps. These tests will be conducted in the first half of 2010.

Einer User namens daved1901 aus dem iii-Board hat sich sogar die Mühe gemacht, das ganze Interview schriftlich festzuhalten. Respekt.

Hier auch nochmal schriftlich, weil es so toll ist:
CNN – Todd Kozel Interview.

Reporter:
One company that is leveraging on the back of Iraq’s energy resources is Gulf Keystone. Established a decade ago, the independent firm ventured into Northern Iraq in 2007. This week, it announced, it had found additional oil, expected to be between 10 and 15 billion barrels. Investors are bullish on the company’s future and share price has sky-rocketed from 4p to a high of 103p, within the past year. I sat down with the Executive Chairman, Todd Kozel and asked him about the company’s newfound success.

Todd Kozel:
What we have discovered is something that is an oil man’s dream, you know, you read about these things from 1900, 1920s, 1930s; at 3000m onshore, to find what is a 2 to 5 billion barrel oilfield now, which has the potential on Shaikan number 1, to get in the 10 to 15 billion range, it’s just unheard of… it’s exciting stuff. It has taken our Market Cap, in the last three months, from £45million to almost £600million, and we’ve only drilled our first well.

Reporter:
It’s fascinating, because even in the London Market, they’re talking about the Gulf Keystone Effect, because of the run-up of the stock and then the momentum investors coming behind it. How do you manage expectations from what was truly a micro-cap stock into something now that is part of the common vernacular in terms of trading?

Todd Kozel:
We’ve had to be careful drilling this well. This well has encountered oil since 30 days after we started drilling. We’ve had to take a position early on, that newsflow is announced when possible, just the basic facts, manage people’s expectations, keep the Markets informed, and don’t let the story run away with itself. We brought in… We even brought in third parties to do reserve estimates and engineering reports, at a very early stage, which is not customary normally within our business, because… not because we needed to know that information, we need to accurately translate that information to the investing public.

Reporter:
There’s a huge question, as you know. What is Kurdish oil? What is National Government oil for the government of Iraq? When you come to production, how are you going to manage the politics of what share goes to the National Government?

Todd Kozel:
I do not see that there is a division of the view on who owns what oil. My view, and my understanding of the Kurdish position, is that this is Iraq’s oil and a percentage of the profits of the share of that oil, by agreement, will be sent to Kurdistan. Our oil, under Contract, will be sold by State Marketing and Baghdad; we shall receive our share under the Contract, the government of Kurdistan is happy to receive their share, the remaining shares are divided however the Central Government has their agreements, and so forth.

Reporter:
You have a property in Algeria, you’ve got to development, in terms of natural gas, but you’re not going to stay in Algeria, you’re finding it too politically difficult?

Todd Kozel:
As a small oil company, as any oil company, you high-grade your prospects, you know, where are my dollars best spent? Kurdistan, we have discovered just about 25million barrels of oil a day, for a $30million well. Our project in Algeria, or two projects combined in Algeria are 70million barrels to our interest. So for our shareholders money, we’re discovering a lot more oil, incurring a lot more value, in Kurdistan. So, therefore that’s where we need to focus.

Reporter:
To actually produce this field then, you’re going to need a Capital Injection from a major oil company. You’re going to need about $120million over the next year.

Todd Kozel:
We’re the most popular person at the dance right now.

Reporter:
Meaning you’re getting a lot of attention?

Todd Kozel:
Three months ago, six months ago, it was very difficult to get people talking about financing a company, not just Gulf Keystone, but any of the small-cap, mid-cap oil companies, exploration companies. We have all the attention we need, we’ve got our current shareholders, of which the management and the Board are an unusually large piece. Our Institutional shareholders are all very supportive and that’s probably where we’ll go to raise that Capital.

Reporter:
You’re going to be an independent company in six months time?

Todd Kozel:
Six months, YES! Indefinitely… erm! The amount of reserves we’ve got and what it’s going to take if we want to fast-track to full production from the four Licences and the potential from the Licences; it will be increasingly difficult to keep up with it financially, and with Human Resources, technology, engineering. It’s bigger than Gulf Keystone is now, but we’re growing into it quickly.

A geological cross-section of the Kirkuk anticline was prepared by A.C. Trowbridge, a professor of geology at the University of Iowa. Location for drilling was selected by John M. Muir, the first Chief Geologist for TPC who had considerable experience in Mexican fields. Baba Gurgur No. 1 was spudded in on 30 June, 1927 and on the early morning of 14 October 1927 the well came in with a bang. The gusher was so forceful that it took nine days to tighten the "Christmas Tree" on the well. By then, it had flowed at 95,000 barrels a day. The producing reservoir was Oligocene limestone (Kirkuk) capped by Miocene salt - a geologic setup similar to the Masjid Sulaiman and Naft Khaneh oil fields. Oil density was 36 API and sulfur content was 2%.

Spudding of Bijeel-1



Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP, ADR:GFKSY) today announces that, as informed by the Operator to the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq ("Kurdistan"), the Bijeel-1 well was spudded on Friday 11th December 2009 in the Akri Bijeel block. Gulf Keystone Petroleum International ("GKPI") holds a 20 per cent working interest in the production sharing contract ("PSC"). The block is operated by Kalegran Ltd. (80%) a subsidiary of MOL.


The Bijeel-1 well will target prospective intervals in the Cretaceous and the Jurassic. The well is the first exploration well to be drilled on the Akri Bijeel block which is adjacent to the Shaikan block. The well is planned to a target depth (TD) of approximately 4,300 metres and is forecast to take approximately four to five months to complete.


Todd Kozel, Executive Chairman, Gulf Keystone Petroleum, stated:


"This is the second exploration well in a multi-well exploration and appraisal programme. We are highly encouraged that the Shaikan-1 well has already significantly de-risked the prospects of our adjacent acreage, making Akri-Bijeel and Sheikh Adi two highly exciting drilling prospects."

die letzte finanzierung ist zu 75 pence gelaufen, dazu wurden weitere finanzierungen angekündigt...

Da GSK die komplette Feldentwicklung alleine finanziert, entsteht natürlich ein erheblicher Liquiditätsbedarf...

..ich vermute mal, wenn die Tages-Produktion in Shaikan 1 wie angekündigt 10k Barrel erreicht und Shaikan 2 etc. gute Bohrresultete bringen, wird es weiter hochgehen.

Aber imho kann das noch einige Monate seitwärts laufen, bis es hierzu neue Informationen gibt. Nicht vergessen, der Kurs kommt von 0,2 vor dem Reservenupdate - jetzt muss die Company zeigen, dass sie das Öl aus dem Boden bekommt!

Hallo,

diese Meldung ist vom letzten Monate, gefunden auf der HP von Mol, dem Partner von GK in Kurdistan:

09/03/2010
Promising testing results from Akri-Bijeel block in Kurdistan

MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas Plc. hereby informs the capital market participants that it has made a discovery in Akri-Bijeel Block in Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The Bijell-1 well tested during a short test 3,200 bbl/d 18°API oil and 933,000 scf/d (150 boe/d) associated gas from Jurassic formations. Flowing well head pressure was 420 psi on a choke 48/64”. The total tested interval is 3,646 – 3,831 m. So far, the well penetrated the first 37m of the reservoir only (3,794-3,831m). The estimated total thickness of the potential reservoir is 200-250m.

The results are under evaluation. After testing the drilling is taking place to the planned total depth 4,330m. At the end of 2010 other exploration well Bekhme-1 is planned in the Akri-Bijeel Block.

Zoltán Áldott, Executive Vice-President of the Exploration and Production Division commented: "Kurdistan Region of Iraq is one of the most prolific hydrocarbon regions of the world and is one of the main focus areas of MOL's international upstream activity. MOL is proud that this very promising exploration result proves the validity of the newly developed geological model. This is the latest great success of MOL’s over 75 years E&P experience domestically and internationally in 14 countries, and the great success of the excellent cooperation between the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq and the consortium."

Background:

MOL, via its 100% subsidiary Kalegran Ltd, signed a Production Sharing Contract with the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq (KRG) on Akri-Bijeel exploration block in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq in 2007. MOL is the operator in block with 80% share and Gulf Keystone Petroleum International Ltd is partner with 20% share (shares non-diluted by government and third-party participation).

Nur mal so:


Gulf Keystone Provides Kurdistan Drilling Campaign Update
15 March 2010

Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd provides an operational update on the preparations for its 2010 drilling campaign in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq ("Kurdistan").

Gulf Keystone also announces that it has completed a fully subscribed placing (the "Placing") of 20,915,034 new common shares of $0.01 (the "Placing Shares") at a placing price of 76.5p per share (the "Placing Price") raising gross proceeds of approximately £16 million ($24 million). These shares were placed by the Company and broker Fox-Davies Capital Limited with existing and new institutional shareholders. The net proceeds will be utilised towards funding the Company's ongoing operations in Kurdistan. Further funding will be required during the course of 2010 and the Company is considering its best funding strategy with its advisers.

Seismic surveys
Gulf Keystone plans to commence the acquisition of 3D seismic over the Shaikan structure during the first quarter of 2010. This work will be conducted by Terraseis.

The acquisition of 3D seismic over the Sheikh Adi structure is planned in the event of a successful Sheikh Adi exploration well and following on from the seismic programme on Shaikan.

Shaikan-1 well work-over
Gulf Keystone plans to deploy a work over rig on Shaikan-1 to conduct short term tests of several previously tested Jurassic targets, using an electric submersible pump. In addition, Gulf Keystone will perform a long term, extended well test (18 to 24 months) in order to deliver production from the initial, upper Jurassic discovery zone in Shaikan-1. Based on the current evaluated data, the Company believes that this extended well test will provide for the production and sale of approximately 8,000 to 10,000 bopd into the domestic Kurdistan oil market.

The bidding process for the work over rig on Shaikan-1 and the construction of oil production and truck loading facilities near the Shaikan-1 well site has been finalised and it is expected that these contracts will be awarded shortly.

Shaikan-2 appraisal well
As previously announced, the Shaikan-2 appraisal well is planned to evaluate the Cretaceous, Jurassic and all zones in the Triassic in which total oil in place volumes of 1.9 (P90) to 7.4 (P10) billion barrels with a mean value of 4.8 billion barrels were discovered. The casing and wellhead design has been modified to allow the evaluation of all these zones including the upper Permian which lies immediately below the Triassic and which contains the high pressure zone that forced a halt to Shaikan-1 drilling.

Construction of the well location has been completed at a site 9km to the east southeast of Shaikan-1. Current plans are to spud this well in the second quarter of 2010. This well is expected to be drilled by the same Weatherford 842 rig that drilled Shaikan-1 and that is currently drilling the Bijeel-1 well on the Akri Bijeel block.

Shaikan-3 appraisal well
In addition to the previously announced programme, a shallow appraisal well, Shaikan-3, targeting the Cretaceous zone, is expected to be drilled near the Shaikan-1 location. Shaikan-3 is planned to spud in the second quarter of 2010 utilising the above mentioned work-over rig, following testing operations on Shaikan-1.

Shaikan-4 appraisal well
A location has been identified for the Shaikan-4 appraisal well approximately 6km west of Shaikan-1. This well will appraise all zones down to and including the upper Permian. Current plans are to spud in the fourth quarter of 2010 using the Weatherford 842 rig following the drilling of the Shaikan-2 appraisal well.


Sheikh Adi exploration well
The first exploration well on the Sheikh Adi block, to explore all zones down to and including the upper Permian, is planned to spud in the third quarter of 2010. The well location has been selected and construction of the well site has begun. The AOS Discoverer 1 rig has been contracted for drilling.

Akri Bijeel exploration well
The Bijeel-1 exploration well on the Akri Bijeel block, operated by MOL's subsidiary Kalegran, is currently being drilled by Weatherford Rig 842. The well spudded on 11 December 2009, and is forecast to take a total of approximately four to five months to complete. Kalegran reported a successful oil test in the Bijeel-1 well, subsequently announced by the Company on 9 March 2010. The tested zone is in the upper Jurassic and flowed at rates of up to 3,200 bopd with associated gas rates of 933,000 scf/d. Oil gravity was 18 degrees API and flowing wellhead pressure was 420 psi on a 48/64" choke.

Interim Capital Raising
Gulf Keystone also announces that it has today completed a fully subscribed placing (the "Placing") of 20,915,034 new common shares of $0.01 (the "Placing Shares") at a placing price of 76.5p per share (the "Placing Price") raising gross proceeds of approximately £16 million ($24 million). These shares were placed by the Company and broker Fox-Davies Capital Limited with existing and new institutional shareholders. The Company continues to review further sources of funding to meet its ongoing capital requirements and will update the market at the appropriate time.

Use of Proceeds
Together with the Company's existing cash balances and funds which may be available under the SEDA facility, the Placing proceeds will be applied towards funding the ongoing activities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. For the avoidance of doubt the Placing does not trigger any payments due under the arrangements announced by the Company on 10 March 2010. The Company continues to monitor its ongoing funding requirements and funding strategy with its advisers and will make further announcements as appropriate.

Admission of New Shares
Application has been made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM with dealing expected to commence on 19 March 2010.

Following the Placing there will be 516,575,489 common shares of $0.01 in issue.

Todd Kozel, CEO of Gulf Keystone said:
"Since the completion of drilling operations on Shaikan-1, GKP's operational team has worked exceptionally hard through the winter to have our well sites drill-ready for 2010 and to secure the required extended lead-time items such as casing, tubing and wellhead equipment. This is an impressive effort and we are currently on schedule for the 2010 work programme. The short term Jurassic tests and the extended well test on the discovery zone in Shaikan-1 are expected to provide comprehensive data on potential recovery factors and to provide Gulf Keystone with our first oil production revenue in Kurdistan.

"We are very pleased to be commencing the first stage of our drilling campaign which has the prospect of substantially furthering the Company's resource base. The capital raised today, together with our other financial facilities, allows us to begin our programme."

zu empfehlen ein Bericht in der aktuellen Focus Money von
26.05.10 Titel: Irak Schwimmen in Öl

es scheint so als ob der Autor von Gulf Keystone recht angetan ist

hier einige Passagen als Appeteizer :

"Zwei aussichtsreiche Konzerne,die vor allem in Kurdistan ihre Aktivitäten vorantreiben,sind Gulf Keystone Petroleum u. Heritage Oil...."
"Gulf Keystone ist im Gegensatz zu Heritage ein purer Kurdistan Ölwert.Damit ist die Aktie risikoreicher.Dies spiegelt die Bewertung je Barrel Ölressourcen wieder.Sie liegt bei 1,5$ je Barrel,wogegen die Heritage Ressourcen mit rund 2,3$ bewertet sind.
Die durchschnittliche Bewertung von Ölresourcen in Kurdistan liegt
ebenfalls bei 2,3$ je Barrel.Damit die Ressourcen der Ölprojekte
Shaikan,Sheikh Adi,Ben Bahr und Akri Bijeel,in denen Gulf Keystone
zw. 6 und 40% besitzt mit dem Durchschnitt bewertet werden,
müsste die Aktie deutlich zulegen...."

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 39.608.550 von Grauewoelfe am 31.05.10 14:01:13

Shaikan
The Shaikan Block is situated approximately 90 kilometres North-West of Erbil and covers an area of 283 square kilometres. The interests under the Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") are GKPI 75% (operator), MOL 20% and Texas Keystone Inc. 5%.

A total of 171 kilometres of 2D seismic was acquired on the Shaikan block in 2008 and on 27 April 2009 the Company spudded its first exploration well, Shaikan-1. The Shaikan-1 well is being drilled in a proven hydrocarbon area, in reasonable proximity to other successful discovery wells. Shaikan-1 is targeting multiple horizons ranging from 600 metres to approximately 3,000 - 3,500 metres in depth. In the event of a discovery well being drilled, the multiple horizons have aggregate anticipated in place reservoir volumes in the range of 2 billion barrels of oil* as estimated by the Gulf Keystone technical team**.

The Shaikan-1 well spudded on 27 April 2009 and a significant oil discovery was announced on 6 August 2009.


Upon completion of the Shaikan-1 well the commitments under the first phase of the PSC will have been completed with an option to enter into Phase 2.

The Kurdistan Regional Government ("KRG") has an option to nominate a third party interest of up to 15% in the Shaikan PSC and a further option to nominate a government interest of up to 20% following a commercial discovery.

Akri-Bijeel
The Akri-Bijeel block is adjacent to the Shaikan Block. The interests in this PSC are MOL 80% (operator) and GKPI 20%. Acquisition of 442 kilometres of 2D seismic was completed in August 2008 and the processing and interpretation of the seismic data is underway. A well location has been selected and the intention is to drill the first Akri-Bijeel well (Bijeel-1) following the completion of the Shaikan well.

The KRG has an option to nominate a third party interest of up to 20% in the Akri-Bijeel PSC and a further option to nominate a government interest of up to 20% following a commercial discovery.




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------






On 20 July 2009, GKPI announced the award of significant interests in two further PSCs for the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbon resources in the Sheikh Adi and Ber Bahr Blocks of the Kurdistan Region of Northern Iraq. Etamic Limited successfully negotiated for the award of the Sheikh Adi PSC and the assignment of an interest in the Ber Bahr PSC. GKPI proposed and it was agreed that Etamic merge these interests with GKPI's existing interests in exchange for the issue of new shares in GKPI conferring Etamic a 50% equity interest in GKPI. Etamic will fund 50% of the costs to be incurred by GKPI following the current drilling campaign on Shaikan-1 and Bijeel-1.


Sheikh Adi
The Sheikh Adi Block is situated North East of Dihok and lies to the West and on trend with the Shaikan structure. The Block covers an area of 180 square kilometres. GKPI will operate and have an 80% interest in the Sheikh Adi PSC, which has an initial three year exploration phase commencing in July 2009. The Company believes that the Block has hydrocarbon potential at multiple levels from Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic and Permian levels and has a mapped defined undrilled surface anticline covering approximately 32 square kilometres covered by modern seismic data.

The KRG has a 20% carried interest.

Ber Bahr
The Ber Bahr Block covers an area of 350 square kilometres and lies to the North of Dihok and on trend with the Shaikan and Sheikh Adi Blocks. The Ber Bahr PSC is operated by Genel Energy International Limited (40%) and has an initial two year exploration phase which commenced in March 2009. GKPI has a 40% interest in the Ber Bahr PSC. The Company believes that the Block has hydrocarbon potential at Jurassic, Triassic and Permian levels. The Block has a mapped undrilled surface anticline covering an area of approximately 45 square kilometres in two lobes and is covered by a modern 2D seismic grid.

The KRG has a 20% carried interest.



*Potential oil in place volumes are quoted in reservoir barrels as there is insufficient data to allow estimation of an oil shrinkage factor and a recovery factor.

**Where relevant analogue data was not available the reservoir parameters used are "best estimates" made by GKPL personnel based on their current understanding of the regional geology.

***Background to our new strategic partner Etamic Limited:

Etamic Limited is a newly formed independent energy fund founded for the purpose of making investments in the upstream oil and gas exploration and production business in the Middle East and Central Asia.

Etamic is entirely independent of Gulf Keystone Petroleum, its directors and management.

In return for a 50% equity interest in Gulf Keystone Petroleum International Limited ("GKPI"), the holding company for the Kurdistan assets, Etamic secured interests in two near-term exploration blocks in Kurdistan (Sheikh Adi and Ber Bahr) awarded under very favourable terms:

No bonuses due on Ber Bahr

No bonuses due on Sheikh Adi until declaration of a commercial discovery

No third party back-in rights

Significant historical scientific information without the requirement to reimburse past costs related to this information

Etamic will also contribute its share of GKPI's future exploration and development costs following the drilling of Shaikan-1 and Bijeel-1.

In summary, Etamic has brought to Gulf Keystone Petroleum's shareholders access to valuable assets in Kurdistan, acquired under much more favourable terms than the Company's existing Shaikan and Akri-Bijeel blocks, which has greatly reduced shareholder risk while increasing the investment upside potential.

You’re going to be an independent company in six months time?

Todd Kozel:
Six months, YES! Indefinitely… erm! The amount of reserves we’ve got and what it’s going to take if we want to fast-track to full production from the four Licences and the potential from the Licences; it will be increasingly difficult to keep up with it financially, and with Human Resources, technology, engineering. It’s bigger than Gulf Keystone is now, but we’re growing into it quickly."

TK stated that they would spud on satisfactory sign off of the rig (sign off also trigger payments to rig contractor).

Etamic payments had not been made to date & TK stated that payments would follow contract signing (RNS to follow on contracts being signed)

TPO commented on the current SP not reflecting value & what were the issues of a low ball TO

TK stated that the Company was not managed on SP. They took a "long term outlook & long term strategy". Current work program was designed to move SP to where Management thought it should be.

TK commented on current SP pressure due to PIs & not Institutions. IIs have been briefed & would defend a hostile TO ("They know the value")

MOL are slow. Genel are looking at well location on BB. Both would be funded by "Oil sales next month to domestic market"

TK no plans to divest from AB (Why should they?). Plan is to drill other wells & prove up value. Not concerned on Iraq politics & no preference for whoever gets in.

Ewen stated no existing well at SA. Estimated OIP as per genel estimate of 1.9BB.

Shaikan production is for 18K bpd. Could "react swiftly to 40k bpd" if SA produced the goods.

Regarding 165M raised 25 May, not all funds received by 01 June hence 156M cash balance. Dollar exchange rate a benefit

Genel has a 3 year agreement on BB not 2 years. Expires March 2012. Plenty of time .

Gram stated that he was unhappy with recovery factor of 30-35%.

TK stated that this was the current assumption & they were being conservative based on current data. "If we thought it was 20% we would not tell you 30%"

Shaikan was stated as being the "Crown Jewel of Kurdistan" & an economic investable project.

Algeria still in limbo. No payment from BG yet. Still waiting Govt sign off.

On a question of block boundaries TK stated East West boundaries may grow but North South unlikely to be affected. SA, BB & AB are therefore on trend.

They are looking for the "water", which could suggest a step change in value. MOL had drilled deeper than Shakian therfore RNS released regarding no water found.

Hunt data of no real interest. "Perhaps your data is more valuable than theirs"

TK stated remove the word "Perhaps"

Could the drilling rates be increased?

TK No we are in exploration. "Its not how fast you drill the wells or whether you bring them in on budget, its finding significant OIP that matters"

Summed up by stating that the Company was in "Great shape", "An interesting 12 - 18 months ahead" & "passionate about my baby"

All IMHO

Great day & good to meet the team. Many conspiracy theories just fell away

IMHO good mid to long term prospect

Kurdistan Operational Update:

Commencement of Drilling Operations on the Sheikh Adi-1 Exploration Well



Gulf Keystone announces the commencement of drilling operations on its Sheikh Adi-1 exploration well effective August 4, 2010. This is the first exploration well to be drilled on the Sheikh Adi Block immediately to the west of the Company's Shaikan Block, site of last year's discovery of the giant Shaikan oil field. The Company has an 80 percent working interest in the Block and is carrying the Kurdistan Regional Government's 20 percent working interest.



The well design for Sheikh Adi-1 has been modified to drill through the geopressured sections of the Triassic. This high pressure interval forced the cessation of drilling on Shaikan-1, at the point when the well experienced the inflow of significant volumes of oil and gas from this section of the Triassic. The Sheikh Adi-1 is designed to drill through the Cretaceous, Jurassic and the Triassic age rocks, to a planned total depth, depending on well results, of 3,850 meters. Drilling is expected to take 6 months. The Company's estimated oil-in-place resource potential for the Sheikh Adi structure is in excess of one billion barrels.

Jurassic Zone Testing on the Shaikan-1 Discovery Well



Gulf Keystone announces the results of further testing of the Butmah (1783m to 1814m) section of the Jurassic on its Shaikan-1 discovery well. Final production rates during this week's re-test were measured at 4650 bopd with an API gravity of 17.68 degrees and a gas oil ratio of 34 standard cubic feet per barrel of oil at a flowing wellhead pressure of 295 psi. This is in line with the previously estimated rate.



The Mus (1627m to 1667m) section of the Jurassic will be re-tested next, followed by the Sargelu (1450m to 1510m), which will then also be configured for long term production testing.



John Gerstenlauer, Chief Operating Officer for Gulf Keystone said "I am encouraged by this verification of the flow capacity of the Butmah formation. This test represents another step in our efforts to confirm and define the magnitude of the Shaikan discovery. The well has now demonstrated an aggregate flow capacity of over 20,000 bopd from just a fraction of the total prospective interval. I look forward to further testing and also to commercial oil sales from the long term test of the Sargelu, commencing later this year."

Gulf Keystone Petroleum completes re-organisation of interests in Kurdistan



Gulf Keystone confirms that certain Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") amendments were approved and executed by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and all the other parties in each of the respective PSCs, with an effective date of 1 August 2010.



On 10 March 2010, Gulf Keystone announced proposals to reorganise its interests in Gulf Keystone Petroleum International (GKPI) and in its four PSCs, which required, inter alia, KRG approval. These proposals have been documented in a series of amendments to each of the four PSCs which have been approved and executed by the KRG and by GKPI and each of its partners in the four PSCs. In the case of the Shaikan Block and Akri-Bijeel Block PSCs certain Third Party Rights have been modified as set out below.



Key changes to the proposals announced on 10 March 2010 are:



· Previously announced payment dates for the Infrastructure Support Payments have been revised so that such payments are fully payable on 15 August 2010.



· The parties to the Shaikan Block and Akri-Bijeel Block PSCs have agreed to extend the period that the KRG may exercise the Option of Third Party Participation to enable the KRG to nominate a Third Party Participant until 30 June 2011.



· Clarification that the existing Ber Bahr Capacity Building Payment of $10 million is now due on declaration of the first commercial discovery.



· There are no other material changes to the proposals or to the post re-organisation interests announced on 10 March 2010 or to the terms of the PSCs other than as set out above.



Gulf Keystone CEO, Todd Kozel, said:



"We regard this as an excellent outcome for our shareholders who have secured a substantial uplift in exposure to outstanding resources and highly prospective pre-drill acreage from the net expenditure of $52 million, which will be made out of the proceeds of the recent successful equity fund raising of $165 million. Additionally the company enjoys a much simplified ownership structure for its assets and full alignment with its regional partner. We look forward to continuing success with our operations in Kurdistan together with the Kurdistan Regional Government as a key stakeholder in our projects."

Oil company PetroNeft Resources is this week expected to confirm the start of commercial production from its Lineynoye field, which is forecast to produce 4,000 barrels a day by the end of the year. The field in Tomsk, western Siberia, is on target to increase that to 12,000 barrels a day by the end of 2012 and analysts suggest it could reach more than 18,000 barrels by 2014. PetroNeft is also expected to update investors on its seventh development well in the region. On past performance, it should reveal oilbearing sands thicker and richer than before. Nine development wells are planned and the company is ahead of schedule. The oil produced will fund exploration, appraisal and development by the AIM-listed firm of its existing prospects. It also has more than £30m to spend on licences or companies. The share price has more than doubled this year and closed at 46.25p valuing the firm at £162m.

Gulf Keystone is a likely takeover target, says Daniel Stewart
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 by Jamie Ashcroft


Daniel Stewart's oil & gas analyst Richard Nolan discussed GKP's "impressive assets" in a bullish report

Gulf Keystone Petroleum (LON:GKP) is likely to become a takeover target due to its “astonishing reserve potential”, according to research by Daniel Stewart’s oil and gas expert Richard Nolan.

Following an analyst field trip to the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq, Nolan reflected on the company’s current resource base and its merits as a takeover candidate.

Nolan highlighted that the size of the Shaikan discovery (4.2 billion barrel mean resource) has been a ‘well known theme’ and ongoing drilling could expand the resource further.

The analyst emphasised that up-coming drilling could add 500 million barrels of oil, from two shallow zones.

According to Nolan the ‘mere addition’ of 500 million barrels - which would otherwise represent a significant find all by itself - shows the “sheer scale” of the Shaikan discovery.

Crucially, further drilling may provide a substantial increase to the Shaikan resource, to between 18bn and 20bn barrels - should the company determine an oil/water contact point at 2,230m - a level suggested by pressure data.

Nolan estimates that the Shaikan-2 well will target the oil-water contact point in Q1 2011, and provide more clarity on this aspect of the analyst’s investment thesis.

“A similar analysis across all of the blocks could see resources of 60bnbbl or more and with a recovery rate of about 30%.”

He added: “Gulf Keystone could be sitting on a giant on an equal footing to the Kirkuk field which has been producing for more than seventy years and still flows at 400,000 - 500,000b/d ... Any company with Gulf Keystone’s size of potential reserves will surely appear on the acquisition radar of many NOC’s and IOC’s."

That said, Nolan described the Gulf Keystone’s investment case as ‘a race against time’, with the analyst highlighting a need to accelerate drilling.

Nolan emphasised that major IOCs (International Oil Companies) and NOCs (National Oil Companies) have had reserve replacement issues for several years. According to Nolan, Gulf Keystone can maximise value by proving up resources on its other blocks, before it becomes a bid target.

“At present Gulf Keystone has good information on Shaikan. They could make a compelling argument to any prospective buyer to pay for those assets ... It would be a more difficult discussion for the other blocks”.

[If] Gulf Keystone becomes a target, then they should be doing as much as possible to prove their resources, especially drilling.”

The analyst believes it is “highly probable” that a new rig will be secured on a short-term contract to accelerate drilling. “To make up for lost time and to increase value, getting the rig now makes a lot of sense else Gulf Keystone runs the risk of leaving a lot of value on the table.”

Playing political waiting game in KRG
Bigger players set to move in if export issues are resolved

THE Shaikan discovery is certain to boost Gulf Keystone Petrol eum’s reputation, but the UK-based company may never claim its place among major oil producers in Iraqi Kurdistan.
NASSIR SHIRKHANI Erbil 10 September 2010 01:08 GMT
Predators are waiting in the wings and ready to pounce when the cloud of political uncertainty has dissipated and the Iraqi 
federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) agree to oil exports from the semi- autonomous region.

The deadlock over oil exports from Iraqi Kurdistan is keeping preying eyes at bay for now.

Bigger companies coveting the Shaikan riches have little to lose as they await results from 
Gulf Keystone’s appraisal drilling aimed at proving up more 
reserves.

Though there is a consensus among industry experts that Shaikan is the biggest find in Iraq in the past three decades, much more appraisal work is needed to provide a clearer picture of the find and the nature of the reservoir.

Gulf Keystone is just doing that, aiming to maximise shareholder value before any hostile approach emerges.

The company is drilling its first exploration well in the adjacent and equally promising Sheikh Adi block. It has a 51% stake in Shaikan and a 80% holding in Sheikh Adi. Both blocks are 
governed by 20-year production sharing contracts which may 
be automatically extended for a further five years.

Gulf Keystone also maintains minority stakes in nearby Ber Bahr and Akri Bijeel blocks 
operated by Turkey’s Genel and Hungary’s MOL, respectively. MOL has already made a discovery with its first well in Akri 
Bijeel, though the estimated reserves are not known yet.

Ber Bahr is also potentially very promising and could prove to be on a par with Shaikan, which has more than 4 billion barrels of oil in place.

Shaikan alone is expected to produce at a sustainable plateau of 350,000 barrels per day when fully developed.

“Shaikan is a giant field and potentially one of the world’s 
largest oil discoveries of the last decade,” says a study by analysts Wood Mackenzie.

“But there are a number of commercial challenges to its 
development. The key commercial issue concerns the misalignment between the KRG and the federal government with respect to oil policy and governance in Iraq.

“This is a complicated problem that has been the source of political discord for several years.”

Concerns highlighted by Wood Mackenzie include access to export pipelines administered by Baghdad, sanctity of contract and remuneration.

Wood Mackenzie estimates Shaikan’s recoverable reserves at about 1 billion barrels and forecasts peak production of 200,000 bpd from the field.

Fox-Davies Capital compares the potential size of Gulf Keystone’s reserves to that of the Kirkuk field.

“The upside potential is clearly huge and on par with the size of the Kirkuk field,” says CFA analyst Lionel Therond, who has visited Gulf Keystone’s operations.

“We found that the operations are making solid progress, despite some inevitable delays in such frontier environment, and are run in a very professional manner by very competent and experienced staff.”

Therond injects a note of caution because of high levels of potentially poisonous sulphur or hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide in the associated gas.

“The levels of hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide recorded in the gas encountered at Shaikan-1 are variable but around the 20% level each, making production of the lighter oil more challenging and increasing production costs,” he says.

Gulf Keystone chief operating officer John Gerstenlauer believes it is only a matter of time before a suitor emerges for his company.

“When the oil export situation here in Iraq is finally resolved, I would be very surprised if we don’t end up being a takeover target by a large number of companies,” he says.

The onus is therefore on proving up more reserves to drive a hard bargain.

“If we sold right now, it would be too cheap. Right now we are dealing with a range of oil-place of between 1.9 billion and 7.4 billion barrels.

“We think that range is going to get bigger and bigger as we drill more wells. We want to add as much value as we can before we can start talking about takeover,” Gerstenlauer says. “Right now 
we have enough money to 
pay for our work programme 
until at least this time next 
year. Beyond that we see how 
it goes.”

Gerstenlauer says Gulf Keystone is expected to produce between 20,000 bpd and 25,000 bpd in a year’s time.

“We are then close to self funding,” he says.

However, Gulf Keystone will need to raise more money next year to build a 40-kilometre trunkline to tie into the main Kirkuk-Ceyhan export pipeline and finance further appraisal drilling.

However, Gulf Keystone’s finance director Ewen Ainsworth says the company may use its early production as collateral to raise debt, thus avoiding value dilution through a rights issue.

He rules out sharing Gulf 
Keystone’s promising acreages with a bigger company for the time being. “If we were to get round to doing something like farm-out, it would be at a later stage when we have got more value on the table,” Ainsworth says.

Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd GKP (FTSE AIM UK 50) Buy
Interim Results

Gulf Keystone reports a loss after tax of $3.1m and as of June 30 it had
$161.7m cash on hand

Operationally, post period end and after our field trip, the Shaikan-3
appraisal spudded on September 2nd. Its objective will be to test the
Cretaceous which was not adequately tested at Shaikan-1 because of fluid losses during drilling

The production facilities at the Shaikan site are undergoing commissioning.

Construction of the facility is on schedule to be completed in September.

Management expects that the extended well test on the Sargelu will occur in September with production being sold into the local market
3D seismic over Shaikan is 75% complete. It is expected that this seismic programme will be completed in October. Processing and evaluation of the data will occur into 2011

Preparation work has also begun at Sheikh Adi with drilling activities
beginning in August 2010

MOL is operating the Akri Bijeel block and we are awaiting the results of
testing which is currently underway

Genel is evaluating data from Ber Bahr and Gulf Keystone management is anticipating receipt of their drilling plans

We continue to be bullish on the stock. First oil will be welcomed as will
the revenue it brings, but in our opinion the main driver for the stock price will be proving the reserves across the four blocks. As we mentioned in our previous note, The Great Race, time is precious.

Updates from Akri Bijeel are taking longer than we had hoped for, though soon we should have the test results which would aid the resource theme. Additional volumes may be encountered by Shaikan-3 in the Cretaceous and confidence is high that it will.

However, resource figures will be significantly impacted by the discovery of the oil water contact point by Shaikan-2 which should be spudded late
October. If pressure gradient extrapolations for the oil water contact point are correct, then volumes across the four blocks could be in the 50bn – 60bn barrel range.

Of course we will need to know more about the Ber Bahr structure to better understand the volumetric potential. On this we are awaiting the drilling plans from Genel

Gulf Keystone Petroleum plots move to main market
Gulf Keystone Petroleum, the second largest company listed on the London Stock Exchange's (LSE) Alternative Investment Market (Aim), is plotting a move to the main market early next year.

By Rowena Mason
Published: 11:00PM BST 18 Sep 2010
Comment
The Sunday Telegraph understands that the Iraq-focused oil explorer intends to jump before it is pushed by the Aim authorities, as it has grown much larger than the market's usual members.
As a result, the board, chaired by Todd Kozel, is looking at moving to the LSE's Official List by the end of the first quarter of 2011, a move that would automatically propel it into the FTSE 250 index.
Index tracker funds typically buy around 10pc of a new
FTSE 250 constituent, leading to increased demand for the company's shares, which have proven to be particularly popular to date with retail investors.
Based on its Friday night closing price of 137p, Gulf Keystone has a market capitalisation of £720m, easily securing it a place in the FTSE 250, subject to it meeting the liquidity requirements imposed by the FTSE indices committee.
Data from TD Waterhouse shows that its shares – which have doubled in value over the last 12 months – are consistently in the top 10 most traded on the stock exchange.
Last week, Mr Kozel, Gulf Keystone's co-founder who earned $2.6m (£1.7m) last year, said the oil explorer may have to raise more funding before the year is out, even after raising $189m in the first six months of the year.
The company's fields are believed to hold between 1.9bn and 7.4bn barrels of oil and it hopes to increase production in Kurdistan to 8,000-10,000 barrels per day by the year end.

Gulf Keystone raises $175m for Iraq project
By Christopher Thompson

Published: October 16 2010 01:41 | Last updated: October 16 2010 01:41

Gulf Keystone Petroleum, the Aim-quoted oil explorer, has raised $175m (£109m) to accelerate its Iraq-based drilling programme in a surprise share placement.

The placement, which has not yet been announced, was run by Mirabaud Securities and priced at 140p a share. Gulf Keystone’s shares closed at 143½p on Friday.

The money will be used for appraisal drilling on its showpiece Shaikan block as well as exploratory drilling on neighbouring concessions.

The company declined to comment on the matter.

Only last month Todd Kozel, chief executive, said the company was well-funded “through to summer of 2011”.

He said the company had $91.9m in cash after raising $189m from investors in the first half to fund drilling and exploration at its concessions in Kurdistan, northern Iraq.

Gulf Keystone, which has yet to turn a profit and has no proved reserves, said that its assets hold between 1.9bn and 7.4bn barrels of oil.

The company’s shares surged 850 per cent from August to October last year after the discovery of oil at Shaikan – helping Gulf Keystone attract a dedicated retail investor following and making it one of the most discussed shares on the UK’s online investment bulletin boards.

Despite management statements to the contrary, several analysts predicted that it would seek more funds this year.

Richard Nolan, an oil analyst at Daniel Stewart, said he was surprised by the placement.

“Clearly it’s a stunning development – this goes well beyond what we were originally talking about. They were saying we were fully funded and now they say they want this money, but that’s because they have a good story to tell,” said Mr Nolan.

The placement is one of several launched by the company this year.

In May, Gulf Keystone launched a $165m share issue to fund working capital requirements and to repay the Kurdish regional government after the default of its joint venture partner there.

That was after the company sold half its Iraqi assets to Etamic, a private investment fund based in the Middle East, in return for payment of 50 per cent of the development costs of Gulf Keystone’s prospective Sheikh Adi and Ber Bahr projects, in July 2009.

Earlier this year Etamic defaulted on its first payment to Gulf Keystone, forcing it to raise another £16m in a stopgap share placing.

Gulf Keystone : Off to the races

Date: 19 October 2010
Contributed by Fox-Davies Capital





By Fox-Davies Capital



Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. announced it has successfully raised gross proceeds of GBP109,239,200 through an oversubscribed placing of 78,028,000 new Common Shares of US$ 0.01 each in the Company at a placing price of 140p per share in order to accelerate the Company's active drilling programme across its four blocks in Kurdistan, the net proceeds will primarily be applied towards contracting a third Gulf Keystone operated deep drilling rig, in addition to the Weatherford 842 and AOS Discoverer-1 rigs and ensuring three rigs are contracted under Gulf Keystone operatorship until the Shaikan Field is fully appraised, now expected by the en d of H1 2012. The Shaikan-5, Shaikan-6 and Shaikan-7 wells will now be added to the drilling programme in addition to the drilling of previously delayed Shaikan-2 and Shaikan-4 wells. The funds will also be affected to additional testing and production facilities in anticipation of success from current drilling of Sheikh Adi-1 and/or one or more of the Shaikan appraisal wells as well as Gulf Keystone's share of the first exploration well on the Ber Bahr block, and a further exploration well on Akri-Bijeel (Bekhme-1). It is intended that further rigs will be contracted by the respective Ber Bahr and Akri-Bijeel operators for future wells on these production sharing contracts. This additional funding, along with anticipated income from test production, will significantly strengthen the Company's financial position and will allow flexibility in the work programme. As such, the Company will have the opportunity to take advantage of any appropriate opportunities to further add value to its working interest position in Kurdistan. The Placing Shares will represent 11.54% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company. The total number of common shares in issue following completion of the placing, and the total number of voting rights, will be 754,243,161.




Comment


This is a very decisive and opportunistic move by the Company and is fully in-line with its strategy of proving up as much as possible of the potential resources in order to maximise value. The Company is now fully funded to fully appraise the Shaikan/ Sheikh Abi/Ber Bahr structural complex as well as testing most of the Akri Bijeel licence potential, providing certainty to investors that exploration will be carried out whatever financial market conditions. The issue price of 140p represents good value versus our target price of 200p and also versus the upside potential based on a multiple of current risked resources estimates.


The drilling programme will provide a sustained news flow over the next few months and plenty of opportunities to hopefully increase our forecasts. We see the forthcoming exploration programme as the most exciting of the next 12 months.




Recommendation


We re-iterate our Buy rating and price target of 200p.



Das Placment wurde vom Markt sehr positiv aufgenommen - gestern fast 10% plus - das GKP Managment will mit dem Geld das Tempo erhöhen und drillen, drillen, drillen.
Wenn man bedenkt welches Potential die Felder Shaikan, Sheik Adi und Ber Bahr aufweisen könnten - dann ....
Zudem stehen eine Flut an wichtigen news an - (well-test production 10.000bpd), (Drillergebnisse) usw.

When the first Western oil explorers arrived on the dusty streets of FT London
Erbil, the Kurdish capital of northern Iraq, shortly after the 2003 war, there were many who declared that finding oil in this rugged mountain region would be a bit like shooting fish in a barrel.
The region was one of a diminishing number in the world that held huge geological promise but for political reasons had barely been touched by the oil industry. If the fish in a barrel analogy may have bordered on hyperbole, it has not turned out to be wildly inaccurate.
Of the eight wildcat exploration wells drilled in northern Iraq in 2009, half of them struck oil, a far higher success rate than in most established oil-producing regions.
And while not every company has hit the jackpot, discoveries by two UK-listed explorers — Gulf Keystone Petroleum’s giant Shaikan find and the Heritage Oil discovery at Miran West — ranked among the world’s top three finds in 2009. For lucky investors in these companies who were willing to brave the risks early, it has been quite a ride.
Now the story appears to be entering a new phase. Last week, America’s Marathon Oil became the first of the big global oil majors to enter the region. Its acquisition of four exploration blocks north of Erbil is of huge significance. For years, friction between Baghdad and the Kurdish regional government, which signed the initial exploration contracts, led the world’s top oil companies to shun the north so that they were not shut out of the auction for the even bigger prizes of the country’s south.
Marathon’s move, however, could be the opening gambit in a frenzied consolidation play. “It is a big vote of confidence,” Richard Savage, oil analyst at Mirabaud, said.
Until now, Kurdish Iraq has been the playground of the independents, the chancers and mavericks of the oil industry willing to bet that contracts they had signed with Erbil would not be torn up by Baghdad. That danger now looks increasingly remote because the support of Iraq’s five million Kurds for the new Government in Baghdad is likely to be essential if it is to form a majority.
Some kind of resolution over oil contracts between Erbil and Baghdad is probably only a matter of time — an agreement that would pave the way for the start of exports.
Meanwhile, with other industry giants such as Chevron, Eni and Statoil all thought to be waiting in the wings, a string of deals could be in the offing as they scramble to gain a foothold.
For investors, it is a question of picking the best of the bunch.

Many of the companies with acreage in Kurdish Iraq are privately held or listed overseas, but among the three London-listed groups Gulf Keystone stands out as a clear favourite. Its discovery of up to three billion barrels of crude at Shaikan was made in a higher-quality reservoir than many its rivals — a fact recognised by the City last Monday, when a £109 million offering of 78 million new shares was oversubscribed.
Gulf Keystone, whose share price was languishing at just over 10p a year and a half ago, now stands at over 153p, which values the company at a cool £1 billion.
Cash from its share offering will be used to accelerate its drilling programme.
Although shares in Gulf Keystone no longer look cheap, the company is an obvious takeover candidate and it is worth noting that Marathon’s newly acquired Atrush block is located immediately north and adjacent to Shaikan, making it a tempting snack for the American group if it decides to bolster its presence in the area.
Of course, not all of the companies have been as fortunate. Shares in Sterling Energy, another UK-listed group, halved last month to 67½p after disappointing results from its Sangaw North well. All is not lost for Sterling, whose drilling programme is still under way, but the chances of a Shaikan-style discovery appear remote.
Meanwhile, Heritage Oil, the exploration company originally founded by the former mercenary Tony Buckingham, has stirred excitement with its 2009 find at Miran. Heritage has plenty of cash and plans to use some of it to boost its Iraqi presence.
Yet while there is little doubt over its size, there are concerns about the quality of the Miran reservoir, where the carbonate rock is less porous than at Shaikan. Instead, the oil is trapped in fractures between the rocks, raising questions about the ease with which it can be extracted.
Meanwhile, Heritage has other issues to contend with, not least of which is a tax dispute with the Ugandan Government over the proceeds from the sale of its stake in an earlier discovery there.
There is a silver lining to this. Heritage’s assets in Kurdish Iraq are being valued at a significantly lower level than Gulf Keystone’s. The company is trading at a 24 per cent discount to its net asset value, which is attractive relative to the sector trading at a 9 per cent discount.
For investors, northern Iraq is no place for the faint-hearted, but there are signs that conditions are improving — and the potential rewards are difficult to ignore.

GKP: Gulf Keystone today announces the following update for the current exploration and testing activities in the Kurdistan region of Iraq:
1. November 2010maximumprofitBearbeitenEinen Kommentar hinterlassen
Shaikan-3: The well is currently in the Cretaceous Garagu Formation at 1,229 metres, measured depth. Oil shows have been observed both while drilling and also in a core. The wellbore is being conditioned prior to logging the well. Subsequently, the well will be drilled to TD and a 7-inch casing string will be run, finally, the pay interval will be tested.

Extended Well Test Facilities at Shaikan-1: A total of 10 truck loads of crude from the Shaikan-1 discovery well have now been sent to different refineries and oil processing plants in Kurdistan. The results of refined product yields from these product test runs continue to be analysed, after which a domestic price will be set for the Shaikan, Sargelu crude oil.

Sheikh Adi-1: The well is currently drilling in the Cretaceous at 899 metres, measured depth. Oil shows have been encountered in a core taken in the top Cretaceous. In addition, oil shows have been seen in the surface returns whenever there have been full or even partial returns. Log evaluation also indicates high hydrocarbon saturations over a minimum gross interval of 50 metres in the first Cretaceous zone encountered. However, hole stability issues (swelling, unstable shales) preclude the possibility of a production test at this time, doing so would involve running an unplanned casing string thus jeopardising our ability to reach the primary Jurassic and Triassic targets. Plans are to drill ahead to the primary targets and leave the Cretaceous intervals for later testing.

Bijeel-1: Kalegran, a 100% subsidiary of MOL, and the operator of the Akri-Bijeel block is continuing well test operations on the Bijeel-1 discovery well. Release of the Weatherford 842 drilling rig is scheduled for mid-November at which point the rig will move to the Shaikan-2 location and begin drilling the first deep appraisal well on the Shaikan structure.

Drilling Rig Tender: The GKP bid evaluation team is currently reviewing the eleven technical and commercial bid proposals that were received in response to the Company’s tender. GKP expects to award a contract to the successful bidder during November. The selected rig will be used to drill the Shaikan-4 appraisal well.

Shaikan and Sheikh Adi 3D Seismic: Acquisition of approximately 525 square kilometres of 3D seismic data for the Shaikan block is 98% complete and data processing and evaluation have commenced. On Sheikh Adi, approximately 300 square kilometres of seismic data acquisition is 10% complete.

Commenting on today’s announcement, John Gerstenlauer, Chief Operating Officer said „We are very encouraged by the log results and oil shows seen thus far in the Sheikh Adi-1 exploration well. The well logs and oil shows in this well not only point towards significant potential in the Cretaceous but also serve to further de-risk the oil potential of at least the Jurassic age targets deeper in this well. In addition we have made significant progress in establishing a fair price for the Shaikan Sargelu crude oil in the Kurdistan market in preparation for routine domestic oil sales.“

Iraqi parties reach power-sharing deal
From: The Australian November 08, 2010 12:00AM

IRAQ'S political rivals reached a breakthrough power-sharing deal in which Nuri al-Maliki, a Shi'ite, retains the premiership.

This agreement has been struck exactly eight months after inconclusive elections.

"An agreement was reached among the political parties in which the Prime Minister will stay on, and the Iraqiya party will choose its candidate for parliament speaker," government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said.

The agreement was confirmed by former premier Iyad Allawi's Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc, which won the most seats in the March 7 legislative election but fell short of a parliamentary majority.

Mr Dabbagh said "there are still some problems to resolve but parliament will meet on Friday to choose a speaker", the first step to forming a new government.

Mr Al-Maliki and Mr Allawi are to both attend a meeting in the northern city of Arbil today for a formal ceremony to announce the agreement.



Iraqiya MP Jamal al-Butikh said the bloc had agreed to share power after it was assured that "no political decision would be made without its agreement".

"Iraqiya will go to Arbil under Allawi's leadership and because the party has been given reassurance in real power-sharing," he said.

Yesterday's announcement came after Iraqi Kurdistan's regional president, Massud Barzani, said he had invited all political groups to meet in the Kurdish capital to resolve the crisis.

Iraq's second general election since the 2003 US-led invasion ended in deadlock after none of the main parties won enough of the 325 seats in parliament to form a majority government.

Parliament has since remained in hiatus, except for a 20-minute oath-taking ceremony and another meeting at which acting speaker Fuad Massum declared an indefinite "open" session.

On October 24, Iraq's Supreme Court ordered parliament to resume, after an alliance of civil groups launched a case against Mr Massum, accusing him of violating the constitution by leaving the session open.

The constitution stipulates that a speaker, president and prime minister must be elected in that order.

The Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc narrowly won the election with 91 seats, closely followed by Mr Maliki's State of Law Alliance with 89.

Neither had been able to muster the 163-seat majority required in the parliament, despite intense back-door negotiations with various Shi'ite, Sunni and Kurdish blocs which also picked up seats.

Mr Barzani's Kurdistan Democratic Party and Jalal Talabani's Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, which together won 43 seats, had entered into an alliance with Goran and two Kurdish Islamic parties that won six places.

The 57-seat bloc gave the alliance the muscle to decide who would form the next government, but Goran's exit has weakened their position.

But Goran, with eight seats, said last month it had pulled out of the alliance.

[Eulenfoerster]

Habe bei 147 GBp nochmal aufgestockt und das war wohl die absolut richtige Entscheidung.
Gulf wird ein Multi-Milliarden$ Konzern in wenigen Monaten.Denke eine Übernahme wird bei den Ressourcen von keinem Multi zu stemmen sein,da EXXON schon eine über 40Milliarde schwere Übernahme schon gebuckelt hat und andere bis auf Royal/Dutch Shell nicht in der Lage sind.

Gulf ist zweifelslos die Aktie des jetzigen Jahres und wird es in 2011 auch sein.

Bijeel-1 Discovery Well Update
Gulf Keystone notes the announcement made today by MOL Hungarian Oil & Gas Plc regarding the successful end of testing of the Bijeel-1 discovery well, in which Gulf Keystone holds a 20% Working Interest.

Highlights

The cased hole test, performed at a depth of 3,804 - 3,967 meters in the Jurassic formations, produced 2,700 barrels per day (bbl/d) of 12-13 °API oil through a 40/64 inch choke.

Previously, the Bijeel-1 well produced 3,200 bbl/d of 18 °API oil and 933,000 standard cubic feet per day (scf/d) of gas, (150 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d)), through a 48/64 inch choke from 3,646 - 3,831 meters in the Jurassic formations.

A joint cased hole test was also performed for the above two intervals (3,729 - 3,967 meters) with a result of 3,743 bbl/d of 13° API oil and 618,826 scf/d (99 boe/d) gas through a 48/64 inch choke.

Following the successful result, Kalegran Ltd, MOL's fully owned subsidiary, has notified the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq confirming the presumed existence of the discovery.

The planning of the formation's appraisal programme is now underway.

The results support Gulf keystone's belief that the Bijeel-1 well is the possible southern flank of the potentially significant Bekhme structure.

Ongoing exploration of the Akri-Bijeel block, including the Bekhme structure, will continue in due course.

The Weatherford 842 drilling rig will now be released to the Shaikan-2 location and begin drilling the first deep appraisal well on the Shaikan structure.
A copy of the complete MOL announcement can be found below.
Commenting on today's announcements, John Gerstenlauer, Chief Operating Officer said:
"Today's announcement by MOL brings the testing of the Bijeel-1 well to a successful conclusion and highlights the clear potential of the Akri Bijeel block, in which Gulf Keystone holds a 20% stake. In addition to this further positive exploration development, we are pleased that the Weatherford 842 drilling rig will now be able to be moved to the nearby Shaikan-2 location, as part of the ongoing Shaikan appraisal programme."

Shaikan-2 appraisal well
The Shaikan-2 appraisal well is planned to evaluate the Cretaceous, Jurassic and all zones in the Triassic in which total oil in place volumes of 1.9 (P90) to 7.4 (P10) billion barrels with a mean value of 4.2 billion barrels were discovered. The casing and wellhead design has been modified to allow the evaluation of all these zones including the upper Permian which lies immediately below the Triassic and which contains the high pressure zone that forced a halt to Shaikan-1 drilling.

Construction of the well location has been completed at a site 9km to the east southeast of Shaikan-1. Current plans are to spud this well in the second quarter of 2010. This well is expected to be drilled by the same Weatherford 842 rig that drilled Shaikan-1 and that is currently drilling the Bijeel-1 well on the Akri Bijeel block.

von heute
I am soon to receive the last injection of funds from the day job. The lump sum at the end of a full and varied career is one of life’s little milestones and how to spend / invest it, needs to be considered and viewed carefully.

Conventional wisdom says to buy an annuity, put it in the building society, buy bonds – but none of these appeals to me, and with some caveats agreed with Mrs D, most of the funds are earmarked for Mr Market.

So recently I have sat down with a large piece of paper to review where I should put this last significant sum.

At this point I took a long look at my portfolio. In no way can it be said to be balanced! GKP currently represents 87% of the funds invested. See my Zurich Axioms post for the reasons why!

The question: should I add to this percentage is however still a vexed one!

Like many here I am fortunate that I invested early in the life cycle of GKP. I held GKP prior to them gaining the BHB concession in Algeria but sold out at 40p on the way down to the 4p low. My largest new investment in terms of number of shares bought was at 5.6p. Additional buys have taken my average price to 26p. I know this company well – warts and all!

When faced with a share price of £1.86 there is a certain resistance to buying at what is a hugely inflated price relative to my average buy price. It is not easy to overcome this feeling and I suspect many have faced this dilemma.

The little voice in your head murmurs– I wish I had this new money back when the share was cheep! It’s too late now to invest more!

A good friend-GRH -recently said to me that there is no such thing as a ‘hold!’ Investing is always about reviewing your portfolio and taking out the comfortable ‘hold’ scenario focuses the mind wonderfully!

If you assess your portfolio by asking the question: would I buy more at the current share price, (ignoring personal involvement and history in a particular share) the decision becomes easier. If the answer to this question is no, then the share is probably a sell!

So this is the question I am asking myself. Is GKP a buy at £1.86 given I already holding a fair chunk at an average price of 26p! Lets see.

Confidence in the Management.

Over the time I have been associated with GKP the perception of the management has, IMHO, changed dramatically. Strangely the way the management is viewed varies, depending on the bulletin board read by the punter. The old view of the GKP management was that they were decidedly dodgy. This viewpoint is still alive and kicking on the TMF board. Bargepoles are often mentioned and dark rumblings are often brought up about the quality of the management. Over on Advfn there is a diametrically opposed view – Todd is God and can do no wrong. The truth as always lies somewhere between the two! The need to be independent in thought and to DYOR without being swayed by posters on a particular board is therefore paramount. I include my views in this – you must DYOR!

Certainly in the old days GKP failed to deliver the early promise of its six Algerian blocks. Over the years I slowly began to understand that working in Algeria was fraught with problems. Sonatrach was not an easy partner. The management promised much but failed to deliver. To be fair they never gave up – RAK saw the potential in the Algerian acreage and an offer was accepted at 70p only to be scuppered by Sonatrach and the Algerian Government demanding a 10million additional sum. Dark mutterings were forthcoming about the quality of the management, but TK and the board pulled a rabbit from the hat by obtaining the BHB blocks. Institutional investors put up a fair chunk of money only to see the SP decline – this did not go down well in the city. A second rabbit was produced when BG became GKP’s partner – early drilling success followed, but the market crash put paid to any SP rise. Again the management continued to be proactive gaining two blocks in the wildcat Kurdistan region of Iraq.

At this time the management were slated as serial disappointers, the city had been burnt on a number of placing and confidence in the company was low. Many posters on BBs had also been burnt and were out for blood. Seeing through the negativity was difficult but Heritage had a find at Miran and it was this that made me once again go over the figures. If you were prepared to ignore the past, GKP was a screaming buy at 5p, Algeria alone more than covered this and Kurdistan was in for free, but not many could see it that way. IIs and PIs had a jaundiced view of the management.

This little diversion into the past history explains the legacy of distrust that still rears its head on TMF and includes some institutional fund managers. It probably explains the city view of GKP along with the Alphaville stance, which I believe also stems from the city.

This history made GKP an easy target for naysayers and de-rampers. The 9p placing added to the distrust and the ETAMIC deal played into the hands of those that said this was a shady company involved in murky deals.

So what has changed? Given an opportunity the BOD have always seized the initiative;
• They were brave in entering Algeria
• Proactive in gaining new blocks
• Proactive in securing quality partners
• Brave in seizing the nettle of investing in Kurdistan.

• Given a chance this company will run with the ball!

The last bullet point is key for me.

• GKP has shown leadership and good judgement in drilling their blocks, not least in securing Weatherford.
• They have obtained two more blocks and have cleared away the ETAMIC problems
• They continue to be proactive in securing additional rigs
• Over the last 18 months THEY HAVE DELIVERED ON EVERY PROMISE.

In conclusion I have to say that I have every confidence in the Management. They have learnt from the mistakes of the past and we are now seeing unprecedented news flow. They pass my critical confidence test.

The BOD has a huge stake in making this company succeed through their share holdings and options – their motivation is aligned with mine!

A tick up for the management. √

GEOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

When looking for a place to invest my retirement money I am looking for a little bit more than pure wildcat exploration opportunities. All but one of my companies in my portfolio have some production to place a break on the downside. President Petroleum has production from its Louisiana blocks but it also has medium risk exploration through its Lafoury campaign to be followed in Feb by Northumberland 2 a wildcat in Australia. The combination of production and explosive potential is certainly there.

Leni Gas is similar. Production underpins the share price; indeed the SP does not reflect this production. Explosive upside is possible through the deep plays in the Spanish acreage. LGO has been a serial disappointer in the same way that GKP was. It is an unloved stock something I look for, provided the potential is also there! David Lenigas has just appointed a new CEO with 34 years of experience and again, share options and personal holdings mean that the CEOs motivation is aligned with that of the PI. I’m happy to go with LGO!

Returning to GKP, at Shaikan we are now in the appraisal stage. We are on the cusp of production and OIP numbers are set to rapidly rise. Shaikan and Akri Bejeel derisk the geological risk involved in Sheik Adi and Ber Bahr.

I am invested in Vast but have recently reduced my holding. The perceived geological risk is much greater at Qara Dagh than at Shaikan and Vast cannot at the moment offer me production. That is not to say that Vast is a bad investment. On the contrary it has the potential for explosive upside but is it the right home for my retirement money? Given my criteria of good management who have substantial personal investment in the company with the SP underpinned by production, Vast is not an easy home for my lump sum. That is not to say that I will not ‘punt’ a few thousand in Vast's direction but as Vast stands today it is not a natural home for my final retirement pot. Perhaps 5% will go Vast’s way.

On the other hand GKP now fulfils many of my lump sum criteria. The understanding of the geology on its blocks is well advanced and the geological risk is consequently derisked. I don’t intend to go any further into this aspect of the decision making process. BBBS, Gramacho and Great Swami are far better qualified than I to take this argument forward. Enough to say that GKP gets a tick up on geological risk. A tick up for the management. √

Financial Risks

Throughout my involvement with GKP this has always been a biggy. In the early days GKP staggered from one financial crisis to another. Placings were frequent – look at the SEDA draw down days and the caveat in the accounts about the company being a sound financial concern able to go forward was always a risk. That s until now!

The recent over subscribe placement gives $250m in the war chest with production revenue still to come. I believe that for the first time GKP finance is not an issue in the short term. And I think that the short term is all that is left in the life cycle of this company. I give GKP a tick up on finance. √

Political Risk

There is no getting away from the fact that this is still a factor in the GKP mix. The formation of a government in Iraq with the KRG playing a pivotal role is encouraging. The news from the London road show that the KRG would make up any shortfall between the PSC and the IOM contracts does much to derisk financial risk. With the entry of the big boys – Marathon and to a lesser extent Murphy with Sinopec already operating in Kurdistan I believe that the political component is within my own risk limits. I give GKP a qualified tick up on political risk. √

Upside

You have only to read my ‘Blue sky thinking posts’ to assess my views on the potential upside. My NAVs are out there on record and I still see a ten bagger potential from here. So I return to my average buy price of 26p do I really want to ruin this personal statistic by buying more?

The question is actually irrelevant. The only question I need to answer boils down to – is GKP a sell, buy or hold at this price? If I take out the hold option from the equation the answer becomes clear. GKP is still a screaming buy at these levels and I will be adding more when the lump sum finally arrives!

Sorry for the long waffle but I find writing down my thought processes helps me personally – I hope it also helps you. :0)

Any comments welcome

Kind regards

spannende story
The government of the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of Iraq expects to soon secure recognition of the oil deals it signed with foreign companies from a new government in Baghdad, the area’s oil minister said on Thursday. Around 40 companies, such as Norway’s DNO , have invested in Kurdistan but their revenues have been curtailed by being unable to sell their oil for export because Baghdad has previously deemed the contracts illegal. Kurdistan Regional Government Minister for Natural Resources Ashti Hawrami told Reuters he expected talks in Baghdad to form a government to lead to an imminent breakthrough on the issue that has been stalled for over four years. “I am confident that the leadership between Kurdistan and Baghdad will address these issues in the coming few days and weeks, before the formation of the government,“ he said in an interview. Iraq’s president formally asked Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Thursday to form a new government, giving him 30 days to choose a cabinet from among Iraq’s fractious Shi’ite, Kurdish and Sunni political factions. Hawrami said a deal on the oil issue was one of the Kurdish bloc’s key demands and that exports should follow soon after a deal on the government. “I am confident that, by early next year, the oil will be flowing,“ he said. DNO stands ready to export around 50,000 barrels per day if a deal is concluded. Currently, it is confined to selling around 17,000 barrels per day to the local Kurdish market, where it receives less than half international prices for its oil. Other companies including London-listed Gulf Keystone and Heritage Oil and Turkey’s Genel Enerji have also made large discoveries in the region.

CAIRO(Dow Jones)--Iraq will recognize a score of oil deals signed by the Kurds in northern Iraq, Iraq's new oil minister, Abdul Kareem Luaiby, said Saturday.

"Yes, we will recognize them," Luaiby said when asked by Dow Jones Newswires.

Luaiby on Friday said the government will activate an agreement signed with Kurdistan earlier this year to export crude.

The central government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government are at loggerheads over dozens of oil deals the KRG has signed with international oil companies. Baghdad says the deals are not binding as they haven't been approved by the federal government, while the Kurds say they are in line with the new constitution.

Luaiby's appointment to lead the oil ministry was approved by the Iraq parliament this week, as part of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's new Cabinet.

Al-Maliki has pledged to fulfill key demands from the Kurdish region that have long plagued Iraqi politics.

Iraq gives go-ahead to Kurdish oil contracts
Tamsin Carlisle and Hadeel al Sayegh
Last Updated: Dec 26, 2010

Iraq's new central government plans to recognise contracts for oil and gas production in Iraqi Kurdistan, a step towards healing an extended rift that has delayed development of some of the world's largest oilfields.

Several UAE companies stand to benefit if the dispute is resolved.

Abdul Luaiby, two days into his new job as the Iraqi oil minister, said yesterday that there was an agreement between Baghdad and the regional government of Kurdistan.

"We have already signed an agreement with Kurdistan," Mr Luaiby said in Cairo yesterday on the sidelines of a Christmas Day meeting of the Organisation of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Under the deal, Baghdad would recognise several dozen contracts that the Kurds have unilaterally signed with more than a score of foreign oil and gas producers in their semi-autonomous territory in north-eastern Iraq.

The deal would also contain a revenue-sharing provision allowing foreign companies to be paid for oil and gas they pump for export.

"Yes, we will recognise them," Mr Luaiby said of the Kurdish contracts, which his predecessor, Dr Hussain al Shahristani, had declared illegal.

His statements followed five days of intensive talks last week when Nouri al Maliki, the Iraqi prime minister, led a delegation from Baghdad to meet Kurdish politicians on their home turf to hammer out a deal for an Iraqi coalition government.

The country has been without a government since its national election in March, and winning the support of the Kurds has proved the essential last step for Mr al Maliki to form a cabinet.

"The mood is much more positive now," said Hussein Baker, a Kurd from Erbil, the regional capital.


"The Kurds are very excited with the recent developments. The expectation is that foreign companies will now be able to export their oil and gas and the economy will boom."

The promise of an end to the increasingly acrimonious dispute, which had dragged on for nearly four years, should be good news not only for the Kurds and their foreign partners, but also for Iraq as a whole. One of the major casualties of the disagreement was a draft Iraqi federal oil law, badly needed to lend legal weight to the fistful of long-term service contracts that Dr al Shahristani signed with international oil groups over the past 18 months to develop large Iraqi oilfields outside Kurdistan.

Some of those fields, including a cluster of supergiants in the country's southeastern province of Basra, are among the largest in the world. But as long as the federal oil law remained stalled in parliament over the Kurdish dispute, the international oil companies that had signed the 20-year agreements to pump crude from the southern fields could not be sure that their contracts would not be overturned.

In Kurdistan, meanwhile, exports into Turkey of about 90,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude by pipeline and tanker trucks were halted more than a year ago because Dr al Shahristani and Ashti Hawrami, the Kurdish resources minister, could not agree on a mechanism for paying the foreign oil producers.

The companies directly affected were Norway's DNO International, Turkey's Genel Enerji, and the Chinese state-owned Sinopec.

DNO, which is 30 per cent owned by the UAE's RAK Petroleum, cut back its output from the Tawke field in Kurdistan to 4,000 bpd last month because it lacked an export licence. Between June and September last year, it exported as much as 50,000 bpd from Tawke through a link to Iraq's northbound export pipeline.

Last year Genel Energy and Sinopec pumped about 40,000 bpd of crude from Kurdistan's Taq Taq oilfield for export, moving the oil by lorry. In October, Genel agreed to sell part of its stakes in Taq Taq and two other Kurdish fields to South Korea's UI Energy. The Turkish company has meanwhile pursued a project to build a refinery in Kurdistan

Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP)

("Gulf Keystone" or "the Company")



Rejection of Legal Claims



The Board of Gulf Keystone announces that Gulf Keystone and two of its subsidiaries (referred to for the purposes of this announcement only, as "the Companies") received notice on 23 December 2010 that an arbitration ("the NYC Arbitration") was commenced by Excalibur Ventures LLC ("Excalibur") in New York on 17 December 2010 asserting certain contractual and non-contractual claims against the Companies and claiming that Excalibur is entitled to an interest of up to 30% in the Companies' blocks in Kurdistan.



On 21 December, 2010, Excalibur applied without notice to the Companies to the Commercial Court in London for a "worldwide freezing injunction" against the Companies' assets, which was refused by the Commercial Court on the basis that the Judge did not consider there was a risk of dissipation of assets. Excalibur also commenced proceedings in the Commercial Court in London on 17 December 2010 on the same grounds as in the NYC Arbitration ("the Commercial Court Claim") in order allegedly to protect its position in relation to potential limitation of actions under New York and/or English law. The Companies received notice on 23 December 2010 of the claims, since which time they have been in consultation with their legal advisers.



The Companies dispute the allegations and claims asserted in the NYC Arbitration and the Commercial Court Claim and intend to vigorously contest them.



The Board of Gulf Keystone will provide further announcements in due course.



Commenting on today's developments, Todd Kozel, Chairman and CEO said:



""We believe we have very good grounds to vigorously challenge these claims in both the US and UK courts.



"We are confident of being able to defeat these claims in any legal jurisdiction and meanwhile, we remain focused on building upon our considerable operational success and continuing to prove the full value of our world class acreage."

Mirabaud Oil Update

Mirabaud Securities – Energy Research

29 December 2010



Gulf Keystone

This morning, Gulf Keystone (GKP LN, Accumulate, 200p) announced that legal claims have been made by Excalibur Ventures, which demand up to 30% interest in the Companies Kurdistan blocks. The claims have been strongly rebuffed by GKP, and the company is confident that this challenge will be defeated in the courts. indeed an attempt by Excalibur to freeze Gulf Keystone's assets has already been rejected by a court in London.



The claim stems from 2006, when Texas Keystone (a privately owned company operated by the broader Kozel family, and totally separate from Gulf Keystone) and Excalibur had a bidding agreement to enter Kurdistan together. Excalibur claimed to have sufficient funding and strong connections in Kurdistan - neither of which turned out to be true - in fact Excalibur failed to qualify as a potential licencee. The agreement expired in February 2007 and then in November that year a subsidiary of Gulf Keystone signed a production sharing contract with the Kurdistan Regional Government for the Shaikan and Akri-Bijeel exploration blocks, along with MOL and Texas Keystone.



As documentation is in place confirming the termination of the agreement with Texas Keystone and Excalibur we are confident that this issue will be resolved in the companies favour. Besides, the company will argue that the issue only relates to Texas Keystone's 5% interest in the Shaikan block, and not to the interests of Gulf Keystone. We believe that Excalibur Ventures (a small group comprising a handful of employees) has received funding for legal action, with the hope of swift settlement to minimise disruption. However, we are confident that Gulf Keystone will successfully rebut these claims in court and therefore maintain our BUY recomendation and 200p target price.

City experts shrug off Excalibur's Gulf Keystone claim
Thursday, December 30, 2010 by Ian Lyall Evolution Securities oil analyst David Farrell restated his neutral recommendation today, saying the London and New York court challenges appear doomed to failure.

Excalibur Ventures is unlikely to win its claim to a 30 per cent share of Gulf Keystone Petroleum’s (LON:GKP) production blocks in Kurdistan, according to analysts following the company.

Evolution Securities oil analyst David Farrell restated his neutral recommendation today, saying the London and New York court challenges appear doomed to failure.

“We have spoken to Gulf Keystone regarding the simultaneous legal claims launched in the US and UK by Excalibur and believe that they are unlikely to be upheld,” Farrell said.

“Operations are unaffected and the company appears to have the backing of the KRG.

“However the case is likely to linger well into 2011 and comes as the company has re-iterated its desire to move to the main market.”

The Evo analysts’ comments mirror those of broker Mirabaud Securities, which yesterday restated its buy advice and 200p a share price target.

Excalibur’s website says it offers advisory services related to Iraq – from project finance to translators and security.

It is run by Rex Wempen, co-founder of the US-Iraq chamber of commerce and former security consultant.

The group is claiming it introduced GKP’s management to opportunities in Kurdistan region and had a contract to develop the area together three years ago.

GKP boss Todd Kozel said yesterday: “We believe we have very good grounds to vigorously challenge these claims in both the US and UK courts.

"We are confident of being able to defeat these claims in any legal jurisdiction and meanwhile, we remain focused on building upon our considerable operational success and continuing to prove the full value of our world class acreage."

Gulf Keystone has production sharing contracts covering four exploration blocks in northern Iraq.

It is currently embarking on an active appraisal and exploration drilling campaign in Kurdistan, including work to fully understand the scale of the world class Shaikan Field discovered in 2009.

Shaikan has the very real potential of being a “company maker”.

There is, however, an even greater prize if Shaikan and the adjacent projects of Sheikh Adi, Akri Bijeel and Ber Bahr turn out to be part of the same oil body.

Then GKP might then have a find on the scale of the Kirkuk to the south, which is estimated to have 60 billion barrels of oil in place, 20 billion of them recoverable.

At midday the shares were down 5p at 162.5p.

Shaikan-3 confirms significant oil volumes in the Cretaceous
This morning, Kurdistan explorer Gulf Keystone Petroleum (GKP LN, Buy, PT 200p) announced that it had completed drilling and testing operations on the Shaikan-3 well. Located on the Shaikan block (GKP 51% fully diluted WI), the well is effectively a twin of the original Shaikan-1 discovery well, drilled to a shallower TD with a less powerful workover rig. Shaikan-3 tested the Cretaceous and Upper Jurassic intervals which had not been completely logged or evaluated in the discovery well, due to drilling difficulties. Two open hole and two cased hole flow tests were conducted in the Cretaceous, but no rate was reported.
As a result of log evaluations and recovered fluid samples, the company estimates that in-place P50 to P10 volumes of 220 million to 2.2 billion barrels of oil-in-place were discovered in the previously unevaluated Garagu interval (1060-1157m). The wide range of variation between the P50 and P10 figures results from uncertainty over the extent of the oil-bearing reservoir throughout the anticline structure. The lack of a test result suggests that the oil is likely to be heavy and viscous and therefore some form of heating may be required to mobilise the crude. The well has been completed as a second producer from the Sargelu interval (Upper Jurassic) to be tied back to the Shaikan-1 test production facility.
Comment:

The Shaikan-3 well has successfully demonstrated that the significant in-place resources at the Shaikan discovery extend into the shallower Cretaceous interval, and the well has again illustrated the scale of the resource potential across Gulf Keystone’s acreage in the Kurdistan region. The lack of a test result and therefore the likelihood that the oil contained in this interval is heavy is not out of line with expectations, but may be viewed by some in the market as a minor disappointment. Heavy oil fields can be developed with standard, proven enhanced recovery techniques such as steam-flood. Nevertheless, at this stage we have not elected to add the Garagu reserves to our Shaikan valuation model.
Gulf Keystone’s multi-well exploration and appraisal programme continues with the deeper Shaikan-2 and Sheikh-Adi-1 wells currently drilling, and Shaikan-4 due to spud in the coming months, while results from a 3D seismic shoot can also be expected. Overall, the company has a high-impact work programme for 2011 offering plenty of catalysts for the stock. Following the recent share price move towards 160p/shr we have a BUY recommendation with unchanged 200p/shr price target.

Gulf Keystone Petroleum Delivers Improved Shallow Production Performance From Shaikan





Having transformed itself with the Shaikan discovery in Kurdistan at the back end of 2009, Gulf Keystone Petroleum is now busy appraising the company-maker and seeking ways to get some early cash flow from the find. Another step forward was taken this week when the shallow appraisal well, Shaikan-3, was successfully acidized and delivered test production of 9,800 barrels per day from the Sargelu formation.
This is a 30 per cent increase on the 7,480 bpd produced from the Shaikan-1 well and is due to the removal of formation plugging around the wellbore. A similar acid treatment is now planned for Shaikan-1 to treat the same problem observed there. Gulf Keystone’s COO John Gerstenlauer said the productivity increase demonstrates “the robust nature of these reservoirs and bodes well for our current oil sales and future field development."

Analysts at Ambrian Oil & Gas said the announcement showed work to appraise Shaikan was progressing well. “This work is aimed not only at proving up resource volumes, but also at establishing early stabilised production from the extended well test; on today’s evidence, significant progress is being made at both.”

Both wells are tied into nearby extended well test facilities, which have a storage capacity of over 20,000 barrels. The company has so far sold over 63,000 barrels of oil into the domestic market in Kurdistan under an initial quarterly sales contract for 2,500 tons of oil per week (about 16,750 barrels a week, or just under 2,400 bpd). The amounts are modest but the process is yielding valuable commercial and marketing information for the company.
The reserves estimate for Shaikan-1 currently ranges from a P10 of 1.9 billion barrels to a P90 of 7.4 billion barrels, with a mean number of 4.2 billion barrels. Gulf Keystone operates with a fully diluted 51 per cent working interest.

Shaikan-1 was drilled to a depth of 2,950 metres, well short of the planned 5,000 metre TD, because of a massive kick in the Triassic. It took the company three days to bring the well back under control. Five zones were tested from Shaikan-1, flowing at cumulative rates of 20,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, with API numbers ranging from 18 degrees at the top to 55 degrees at the bottom.

Investors are very keen to learn more about the deeper levels and will be watching the progress of Shaikan-2, a deep appraisal well some 9 km east of Shaikan-1, with keen interest. The well is currently below 1,210 metres and the company has been trying a new tactic to deal with the difficult Cretaceous zone, which, as Gerstenlauer told delegates at January’s Oilbarrel.com conference, is “basically a rubble zone”. The company’s consultants, Dynamic Global Advisers of Houston, reckon there could be an additional 1 to 5 billion barrels in the Triassic. A second deep appraisal well, Shaikan-4, some 6 km west of Shaikan-1, is expected to spud by the end of March. It is targeted to drill the Jurassic and Triassic age formations and possibly the top of the Permian.

In addition to all the activity at Shaikan, Gulf Keystone also has an 80 per cent interest in the Sheikh Adi block, where the SA-1 well is now drilling ahead having battled hole collapse. At the time of the last update, the well was at the bottom of the troublesome Cretaceous interval after side tracking around a section of the bottomhole assembly that had become stuck in the open hole. It will then drill into the top of the Jurassic, the first of the primary exploration targets for this well.

The AIM company also has a 40 per cent interest in the Genel-operated Ber Bahr block, which is the biggest single structure of all the blocks with an upside case of 20 billion barrels, and a 20 per cent interest in the MOL-operated Akri Bijeel block. On the latter project, the partners have already made one discover

Heute hat das Unternehmen eine email ausgesandt in der sie den Kursrückgang auf die Unruhen im arabischen Raum zurückführt - da die Assets von GKP im Irak liegen - ist klar das hier auch nervöse Hände sich von ihren shares trennen. Die Situation im Irak hat sich politisch stabilisiert - trotzdem bleibt es natürlich in gewisser weise "risikoreich".
Alle anderen Fakten findest du auf der Homepage ... wievie Barrel öl tatsächlich im Boden schlummern wird sich erst zeigen ... aber so an die allein von shaikan 2 (1,9 P90 zu 7,4 (P10) barrel sollten es auf jeden fall sein ... in englischen boards wirs mit 60 mrd. barrel spekuliert. Es sind ja noch einige bohrergebnisse ausstehend und bohrungen im gange.

Vorteile:
- gigantische Reserven
- testproduktion
- gut finanziert
- DNO fördert bereits 50 000 bpd im Irak

Nachteil:
- politisches Risiko (das sich meiner meinung nach in kleinen schritten zum positiveb entwickelt - auch wenn momentan die Unruhen das neg überschatten.)
- kleiner rechtsstreit mit Excalibur (scheint aber nicht so tragisch)


So das war jetzt frei aus dem kopf - aber ich denke COXOS kann da bessere auskunft geben.

DNO ist eine norwegische Ölgesellschaft. Im Irak selbst sind noch wenige ganz grosse Aktiv - die ungarische MOL hat Assets und auch Marathon Oil ist dabei sich zu positionieren.
Das politische Risiko hat wohl viele abgeschreckt - das war aber auch die Chance für Unternehmen wie GKP. Es sind in diesem Land einfach noch viele Dinge ungeklärt und trotzdem werden auch die ganz grossen Unternehmen früher oder später im Irak aktiv werden - es ist einfach zuviel Öl vorhanden. wenn man bedenkt wie billig man im Irak produzieren kann/könnte im vergleich zu vielen Offshore Feldern.
In englischen Boards gehen viele user davon aus dass GKP späzestens in 1-2 Jahren übernommen wird vl sogar früher.

Zur Mongolei kann ich nicht viel sagen - da ich mich damit (noch) nicht beschäftigt habe ... aber sollte ich vielleicht mal ;-)

Shares in Gulf Keystone Petroleum (GKP) shot to an eight-month high on Friday after it reported "significant" initial oil flows from a well on its Shaikan block.

The AIM-listed explorer said the substantial smoke and/or the oil flare visible from the Shaikan-2 appraisal well had prompted the company to announce that a "significant flow" had been encountered, sending its shares almost 20% higher in morning trading.

The oil flow is in a 44 metre interval, between 1,792 metres and 1,836 metres, in the Jurassic age formation, it added.

It marks the first deep appraisal well to be drilled on the Shaikan structure, just nine kilometres to the south east of the Shaikan-1 discovery well.

Gulf Keystone is now conducting a test, which is expected to last for another 72 hours, in order to obtain further results such as flow rate and oil quality.

Executive chairman Todd Kozel said: "This initial oil flow continues to confirm our belief in the world class nature of the Shaikan discovery. We are eagerly anticipating more detailed results from the Shaikan-2 well test."

Thumbs up from analysts

Matrix Group analyst Vugar Aliyev said he was awaiting further results: "Initial flow from the Shaikan-2 well is positive, but without proper test information it is impossible to assess the impact of this well on our valuation."

He tagged the stock with a target price of 160p.

Malcolm Graham Wood, advisor at VSA Capital, said: "Accordingly, this is virtually impossible to call but as a long-term fan of the stock and of the view that it is still cheap, I would endorse any upward movement."

Fox Davies Capital said: "This is excellent news for Gulf Keystone, although we have to wait for more data in order to be in a position to make a more definitive assessment. We are increasing our probability of success for the P50 case on Shaikan from 2/3 to 3/4 and raising our price target to 220p.

"We remain strong buyers of the stock, which has been weak for no specific reasons recently."

Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP)

("Gulf Keystone" or "the Company")





Shaikan Discovery: P90 volumes increase from 1.9 billion barrels to 4.9 billion barrels



Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP) today announces a major revision of the gross oil-in-place volumes for the Shaikan discovery in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.



The revised gross oil-in-place volumes for the Shaikan discovery, as calculated by Dynamic Global Advisors (DGA), independent Houston-based exploration consultants, are a P90 value of 4.9 billion barrels to a P10 value of 10.8 billion barrels of oil-in-place with a mean value of 7.5 billion barrels and a P1 value of 15 billion barrels.



This is a very significant upward revision from the previously announced range of 1.9 to 7.4 billion barrels of gross oil-in-place with a mean value of 4.2 billion barrels and a P1 value of 13 billion barrels, also calculated by DGA. The revision is based on the data acquired since the last resource evaluation of the Shaikan discovery by DGA issued in January 2010, which was supported by an additional third party analysis by Ryder Scott consultants with a range of gross total petroleum-initially-in-place (PIIP) of 1.52 (P90) to 7.52 (P10) billion barrels.



The new data has been acquired as a result of:



· Shaikan-2 oil discovery and well test in the upper section of the Jurassic section, nine km to the east of Shaikan-1

· Shaikan-1 extended well test production

· Shaikan-3 testing and production results

· Preliminary results of the analysis of 3D seismic data acquired for the Shaikan (599km²) and Sheikh Adi (215km²) blocks

· Evaluation of existing seismic lines and regional geological data for the Ber Bahr, Akri-Bijeel (Bijeel-1 well) and Sheikh Adi blocks.

· PVT (pressure, volume, temperature) analysis of oil samples from the Triassic Kurre Chine tests at Shaikan-1.



The Shaikan-2 appraisal well is now drilling deeper into the Jurassic and is scheduled to drill on into the Triassic. Once the well reaches TD at the bottom of the Triassic or into the top of the Permian interval, the Company will consider a possible further revision of the Shaikan oil-in-place volumes, taking into account additional information from the reservoirs previously only penetrated by Shaikan-1 and from potential additional discoveries from possible zones below those reached by Shaikan-1, projected by DGA to contain an additional 1 to 5 billion barrels of prospective resources.



John Gerstenlauer, Gulf Keystone's Chief Operating Officer, commented:



"We have always believed that the initial gross oil-in-place range for the Shaikan discovery was a conservative estimate that would increase as more information became available. This gross oil-in-place volumes revision by DGA, entirely supported by the Company's management and Board of Directors, confirms that belief. We eagerly look forward to additional drilling results from Shaikan-2, the soon to be spudded Shaikan-4 and the remainder of the Shaikan appraisal drilling program. We firmly believe that even with this upward revision the numbers for the Shaikan discovery are still conservative."

Analysten-Bewertung Target Price 2,79 GBP

"Gulf Keystone Petroleum
Unlocking Kurdistan

Current price 155p
Target price 279p

Gulf Keystone Petroleum's key operations are in Kurdistan, Northern Iraq. Its main asset is the Shaikan field in which it holds a 75% working interest (51% post government back-in). The company has a high degree of political and legal risk, but the sheer size and potential of the assets in the portfolio has made it a popular stock in the sector. Given the recent resource upgrade, we initiate coverage with a Buy rating and set a risked target price of 279p, which still offers c.80% potential upside from the current price.

• Just how big is Shaikan? The updated CPR estimates that the field has gross oil-in-place (OIP) resources at 4.9bnbbl (P90) to 10.8bnbbl (P10), with a mean of 7.5bnbbl. However, much more work is required to ascertain how much can actually be recovered from this field. Heritage Oil’s and Sterling Energy’s experiences in Kurdistan show how difficult the geology can be and we would caution investors on making grand assumptions prior to drilling.

• Focused on Kurdistan. Following the formation of the Iraqi government, Kurdistan is now in a better position to negotiate on outstanding issues with central government. The Iraqi government is endeavouring to stimulate the economy by increasing oil output to 3.0mmbbl/d by the end of this year, compared with 2.4mmbbl/d in December 2010, and is relying on exports from Kurdish fields to meet this target.

• Political and legal uncertainty. The relationship between the Kurd Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraqi Central Government has improved since the formation of the parliament, but there are still considerable issues outstanding which need to be resolved. The issue relating to payment for exported oil remains unresolved. In addition, the company is in dispute with
Excalibur’s claim that it is entitled to a 30% interest in Shaikan. Both of these situations introduce a high degree of uncertainty into GKP’s operations which investors need to take a view on.

• Valuation and recommendation. We have based our exploration valuation on the CPR for Shaikan. In addition, we have included a DCF valuation for the small amount of oil production during the extended well test at the field. We have also assumed GKP’s interest is not at the working interest level, but at the government back-in level where appropriate. We initiate coverage of GKP with a Buy recommendation and set a target price of 279p."

Gulf Keystone looking at company sale
29 Aug 2011

Kurdistan-focused explorer Gulf Keystone Petroleum is looking to sell itself in a deal that could value it at up to 1.4 billion pounds ($2.3 billion), the Sunday Times newspaper reported, citing sources. The paper said Chief Executive Todd Kozel had told investment banks he will launch a 'beauty parade' for advisers next month to help assess the company's strategic options. The Sunday Times cited bankers as saying the search for advisers amounted to 'hanging a 'for sale' sign' up at the company.
The company said in May it was preparing to export oil from Kurdistan after a long argument over payments between the semi-autonomous region of Iraq and Baghdad looked to be easing, after it more than doubled oil estimates for its key exploration block in Kurdistan in April.
Shares in Gulf Keystone closed at 130.5 pence on Friday, valuing the business at just under 1 billion pounds.

Kurdistan operations

Gulf Keystone is focused on exploration and production in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq where a world-class discovery has been made on the Company’s Shaikan Block in 2009. The Company’s four Production Sharing Contracts in the region are underpinned by a long-standing cooperation with the host Kurdistan Regional Government and a consistent story of success with two exploration wells resulting in two discoveries, Shaikan-1 and Bijell-1 on the Akri-Bijeel Block.
The Company’s ambitious exploration and production programme for 2011-2012 includes five appraisal wells on the Shaikan Block (two of them are contingent) and three exploration wells on the Sheikh Adi, Akri-Bijeel and Ber Bahr Blocks.
In preparation for higher production volumes and long-term exports, the Company has launched an engineering study on a pipeline route to the main Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil export line and an upgrade of the existing Shaikan Extended Well Test facilities with the current potential to produce of up to 20,000 barrels of oil per day.

Kurdistan One of Last Onshore Oil Prospects: CEO
Thu, 1 Sep 2011
IKJ Writers

http://ikjnews.com/?p=1399

“Those were rumors in the press over the weekend. There are no deals in the offing, we are not looking to sell ourselves,” Todd Kozel, CEO of the AIM-listed company, told CNBC on Wednesday.

The company has discovered 12 billion barrels of oil across three license blocks, and Kozel said that the company is sitting on potential reserves of upwards of 20 billion barrels.

“Recently. Kurdistan is a headline in the oil industry. We were one of the early movers into Kurdistan, and we have early mover advantage,” Kozel said.

“We are not drilling in the arctic; we are not deep drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. It is one of the last places onshore where you can access reserves of this size,” he explained.

“The cost is minimal. Our finding cost is 25 cents per barrel. Our lifting cost, processing cost, transportation cost is $2.90 a barrel. At $100 a barrel, the project economics work, and they work in a big way.”

The world’s largest oil company, Exxon [XOM 73.96 0.05 (+0.07%) ], signed a deal with Rosneft of Russia on Tuesday to exploit possible assets in the arctic north of the country, and other majors are increasingly looking to deepwater or non-permissive environments for their growth.

Some within Kurdistan, an area which spans the north of Iraq, the north west of Iran and the south east of Turkey, continue to agitate for independence. The Turkish air force has flown a number of sorties into Iraqi airspace in recent weeks, targeting separatists based there.

Iraqi Kurdistan is an autonomous region of Iraq, and Kozel said that the principal reason that oil majors have yet to make a jump into the area is the lack of a petroleum law.

“The [production sharing agreements] (PSAs) in Kurdistan are pretty much standard for worldwide PSAs. There’s no magical smoking gun in any of them,” he said.

“What has been the poison pill in Kurdistan so far has been the lack of a petroleum law and the lack of an agreement between Baghdad and Kurdistan.

That has moved on significantly in the last couple of months, and the local authorities believe that between now and the end of the year there will be a resolution.”

Interview with Todd Kozel

Steve Sedgwick
Joining us now is Todd F. Kozel, who is the CEO of Gulf Keystone Petroleum and I mean just to tell people a little bit about yourselves, there is a potential deal in the offing. People are looking at whether you are looking to sell yourself and what the latest is there. Just tell us on that one to start off if we may.

Todd Kozel
Well to start off, those were rumours in the press over the weekend. There are absolutely no deals in the offing for Gulf Keystone.

Steve Sedgwick
You are not looking to sell yourself. This is what Reuters reported

Todd Kozel
We are not.

Steve Sedgwick
on August 28th.

Todd Kozel
We are not up for sale, no.

Steve Sedgwick
OK. So what are you looking to do? Organic growth, Kurdistan base, tell us a bit about the company.

Todd Kozel
Yeah, Gulf Keystone's a 100% Kurdistan focused exploration company. We have discovered to date, 12 billion barrels of oil in place on 3 licences. The good news is it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. We've got upside on those licences of 15 to 18 billion, with a third licence with a potential of another 20 billion. So for an AIM listed company we've got a potential of upwards of 20 billion barrels of oil in place in Kurdistan, which is by any means world class.

Steve Sedgwick
That is a staggering number but as we all know round there, and our viewers know as well because they're a smart bunch, the international oil companies are struggling to find that kind of level of reserves without paying an enormous cost to the national companies, to the states such as Kurdistan as well. That
is one question I have for you, and the second is cost of extraction and getting this to consumer because costs of oil do you have to pay to the state, and costs of oil that you have extract are 2 key issues.

Todd Kozel
Well the big issues are if you're headline news today we're not drilling in the Arctic. We're not deep water Gulf of Mexico. It is one of the few places, and the last places, onshore that you can access reserves of this size. The cost is minimal. We're in a position, our finding costs is 25 cents a barrel, our lifting cost, processing cost, transportation cost, we're $2.90 cents a barrel in, at $100 a barrel as project economics work and they work in a big way.

Steve Sedgwick
I'm sorry. I know Edmund's going to come in, but if you're getting this stuff out of the ground at 25 cents a barrel?

Todd Kozel
Well discovering costs are 25 cents a barrel.

Steve Sedgwick
I cannot believe that big majors

Todd Kozel
Total costs are 2.90.

Steve Sedgwick
aren't circling. Are you not talking to any of them?

Todd Kozel
Recently. Kurdistan is a headline in the oil industry. Recent attraction to Kurdistan, we were one of the first companies into Kurdistan, so early mover advantage. Now you have Hess, you have Repsol, the likes of Marathon are all descending upon Kurdistan. The licensing rounds are everything's pretty much
taken. So the next round in Kurdistan is consolidation. But consolidation is something we've got a lot of work to do. We've got a lot of reserves to discover, we've got a lot of reserves to prove up and until that consolidation happens we're marching on as a company.

Steve Sedgwick
Edmund.

Edmund Shing
Well when you talk about the 12 billion barrels of reserves, is that 1P, 2P, 3P I mean?

Todd Kozel
That's oil in place.

Edmund Shing
That's oil in place. That's oil that's definitely there?

Todd Kozel
We're still...absolutely. Absolutely.

Edmund Shing
But in that case, on any valuation why wouldn't oil majors just buy you, just for the almost as a warrant value? It would seem to me that frankly given the amount of money it would cost an oil company, given the amount they're spending everywhere else, it's a very limited additional cost. Unless, of course, the
Kurdistan government is up for taking a huge slice of any excess over, you know, like in a production sharing agreement. I mean how would it work for anyone coming in?

Todd Kozel
Well the Kurdistan contrasts, the PSEs in Kurdistan are pretty much standard for worldwide PSEs. There's no magical smoking gun in any of them. What has been pretty much the poison pill in Kurdistan so far has been the lack of a petroleum law and a lack of an agreement between Baghdad and Kurdistan.
That has moved on significantly in the last couple of months and everybody, the local authorities believe that between now and the end of the year there will be some resolution. I view that and the issue that the majors preferred to go south, preferred to look at larger existing fields for development possibilities versus exploration as the reason why they haven't gone to Kurdistan yet, but now they are.

Geoff Cutmore
What is the I mean the other issue I guess on the table is how easy it is actually to get it away from Kurdistan and to the marketplaces where it needs to be used. Because again, you know, the reports that we read coming into this interview all say that you've taken on advisors and that you are up for sale and
it's a beauty parade and we're again back to Edmund's point, the maths look like you should be a takeover, but there is obviously something holding the oil companies back. Is it the difficulty of transporting the Kureem Pass?

Todd Kozel
Transporting isn't an issue. In the north you have the Kirkuk Jehan Turkey pipeline, which has space. Two other operators are currently exporting significant amounts of oil like a 150,000 barrels a day from Kurdistan. They're receiving payment for that oil from Baghdad. So that isn't an issue. So far it is strictly in my opinion been lack of clarity on a petroleum law for Iraq itself, which Iraq needs to benefit all Iraqis.

Geoff Cutmore
It's been a pleasure

Steve Sedgwick
Yeah, absolutely.

Geoff Cutmore
finding out a bit more about the business.

Steve Sedgwick
We've got to leave it there, but Todd come and join us again.

Todd Kozel
Gentlemen, thank you very much.

Steve Sedgwick
if anything interesting happens on the corporate front as well.

Todd Kozel
Thank you very much.

Steve Sedgwick
Not that it will. Not that it will but

Geoff Cutmore
Let us know first anyway.

Steve Sedgwick
Yeah. Todd F. Kozel, the CEO of Gulf Keystone Petroleum, which is exploring, it looks very profitably, in Kurdistan.

("Gulf Keystone" or "the Company")

Kurdistan Operational Update

Gulf Keystone today provides an update on its ongoing exploration and appraisal programme for the Shaikan block in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Shaikan is a major discovery with independently audited gross oil-in-place volumes of between 4.9 billion barrels to 10.8 billion barrels calculated on the P90 to P10 basis with a mean value of 7.5 billion barrels.

Shaikan-2 Well Test Update

Further to the announcement of 18 August on the new Triassic discovery with the Shaikan-2 Appraisal Well, the Company has completed a flow test in the lower section of the Kurre Chine B zone in the Upper Triassic zone of the Shaikan-2 Appraisal Well drilled approximately nine km to the south-east of the Shaikan-1 discovery well.

The Kurre Chine B flow test in Shaikan-2 achieved flow rates of 2,600 barrels of 40 degree API oil per day with associated gas of 5.4 MMcf per day through a 48/64"choke.

So far, the Company has conducted three wells tests on Shaikan-2 with the maximum aggregate flow rate in excess of 15,000 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") with up to five additional tests still to be performed as part of the ongoing Shaikan-2 testing programme in the Triassic and Jurassic. The next test will be conducted on the upper section of the Kurre Chine B.

Shaikan-4 Drilling Update

The Shaikan-4 Appraisal Well, drilled six km to the west of the Shaikan-1 discovery well, is currently drilling ahead at a measured depth (MD) of 2,580 meters. Preliminary well logs through the upper Jurassic (down to the top of the Butmah formation) indicate that the net pay count on this well for the upper Jurassic reservoirs is significantly better than those achieved with either Shaikan-1 or Shaikan-2.

John Gerstenlauer, Gulf Keystone's Chief Operating Officer commented:

"This latest in a series of successful Shaikan-2 well tests follows the announcement of the new Triassic discovery made with this well earlier this month. Together with the progress in the Shaikan-4 drilling operations and the oncoming spudding of Shaikan-5, it is a confirmation of Gulf Keystone's success in both drilling and proving the value of the giant Shaikan field, which is our immediate focus".

UPDATE: Gulf Keystone Petroleum releases positive drilling results on two Shaikan wells
10:47 am by Ian Lyall
http://bit.ly/onjAfv

The Shaikan oilfield is located in the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq and is currently estimated to contain between 5 and 10 billion barrels of oil-in-place.
----Adds broker comments----
Gulf Keystone Petroleum (LON:GKP) revealed this morning that the payzone for the upper Jurassic reservoirs of its Shaikan-4 well is “significantly better” than the net pay count of its two earlier wells.
The update came as the well hit a measured depth of 2,850 metres and was released alongside news on the Shaikan-2 test well, drilled nine kilometres south-east of the original Shaikan discovery.
The company has just completed flow tests on the lower section of the Kurre Chine B zone and Upper Triassic at Shaikan-2, which achieved a rate of 2,600 barrels a day of 40 degree API oil along with gas.
This brings the maximum aggregate flow rate to in excess of 15,000 barrels a day, with Gulf Keystone still to perform up to five additional tests as part of the in the Triassic and Jurassic.
The next test will be conducted on the upper section of the Kurre Chine B.
Chief operating officer John Gerstenlauer said: "This latest in a series of successful Shaikan-2 well tests follows the announcement of the new Triassic discovery made with this well earlier this month.
“Together with the progress in the Shaikan-4 drilling operations and the oncoming spudding of Shaikan-5, it is a confirmation of Gulf Keystone's success in both drilling and proving the value of the giant Shaikan field, which is our immediate focus."
The Shaikan oilfield, located in the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq, is currently estimated to contain between 5 and 10 billion barrels of oil-in-place.
But Gulf Keystone’s latest discovery, in a deeper Triassic age reservoir that could not be reached in previous wells, will add to this impressive tally.
“Today's announcement illustrates that GKP continues to make strong progress in Kurdistan, with the Shaikan field yielding further discoveries and better data than originally anticipated,” said Dougie Youngson, oil and gas analyst at City broker Arbuthnot.
The update comes amid a period of intense speculation about the company’s future and as the political backdrop in Kurdistan begins to improve.
Last week Gulf Keystone was forced to deny a report that it is preparing a beauty parade of potential buyers, and said it wants to continue exploiting the untapped value of its projects in Kurdistan.
However analysts say it may have to bring on board a partner with deep pockets in order to do this.
The approval last weekend by the Iraqi cabinet of the long-delayed draft oil law is being interpreted as positive by analysts assessing its impact on companies working in semi-autonomous Kurdistan
It will now be sent to parliament for final passage. And when enacted it will provide foreign explorers a more solid legal framework for their activities.
The law is also seen as pivotal to reconciling Iraq's factions - especially Iraqi Arabs and Kurds - as the country rebuilds after years of war.
It is good news for companies already operating in Kurdistan such as Gulf Keystone Petroleum, Heritage Oil (LON:HOIL) and DNO Exploration, as well as newcomers to the region including Petroceltic (LON:PCI) and Afren (LON:AFR), which have recently landed production sharing contracts.
“The possibility that Baghdad will recognise Kurdish production sharing agreements by the end of this year has been mooted to us by the company in recent meetings, and we view any resolution of this issue as an important catalyst for the stock as it would substantially reduce the country risk associated with the assets,” said Angus McPhail, of Investec Securities.
“This may explain why M&A has come into media headlines recently regarding this stock.”
The shares – which high a year-high of 202.75 pence last autumn – were changing hands virtually unchanged at 135.29 pence this morning. Investec reckons GKP is worth 208 pence a share, while Arbuthnot has set a rather more punchy 279 pence price target.

Kurdistan Operational Update
Spudding of Shaikan-5 Appraisal Well
Gulf Keystone is pleased to announce that the Shaikan-5 appraisal well has spudded on the Shaikan block in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq on 28th October 2011.
Shaikan-5 is the third deep appraisal well to be drilled on the Company's major oil discovery with independently audited gross oil-in-place volumes of between 4.9 billion barrels and 10.8 billion barrels calculated on the P90 to P10 basis with a mean value of 7.5 billion barrels.
Shaikan-5 is being drilled 6 km to the north-east of the Shaikan-2 appraisal well. The well will target prospective intervals in the Jurassic and Triassic to reach the planned total depth of approximately 3,500 metres.
Gulf Keystone is the Operator of the Shaikan block with a working interest of 75 per cent and is partnered with Kalegran Ltd. (a 100 per cent subsidiary of MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas Plc.) and Texas Keystone Inc., which have working interests of 20 per cent and 5 per cent respectively.
John Gerstenlauer, Gulf Keystone's Chief Operating Officer commented:
"We are very pleased with the progress of our drilling operations in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Shaikan-5 is the ninth well to be drilled across the Company's four adjacent blocks in the space of 30 months. Six out of these nine wells have been drilled on the Shaikan and Sheikh Adi blocks which Gulf Keystone operates. With two discoveries on the Shaikan and Akri-Bijeel blocks under our belt, we eagerly anticipate further results from the Sheikh Adi block with estimated resources of 1 (P90) to 3 (P10) billion barrels of gross oil-in-place. The second exploration well on the Sheikh Adi block will spud in early 2012, when results are also expected from the first exploration well recently spudded on the Ber Bahr block. The spudding of the Shaikan-5 well is in line with Gulf Keystone's stated strategy to realise the full potential of the giant Shaikan field, to prove up our existing discoveries and to drill new ones in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq".

Exxon signs Kurd exploration contracts
ExxonMobil has become the first of the “supermajor” oil companies to venture into Kurdistan, in a controversial move that will be seen as a huge vote of confidence in the semi-autonomous region of Iraq but could spark a backlash in Baghdad.
Exxon, the largest international oil company, signed contracts with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) last month to explore for oil and gas in six blocks in the region, according to an adviser to the KRG.

Chevron to join slick of oil supermajors in Kurdistan
American company set to enter the battle for a share of northern Iraq's massive reserves

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/chevron-to-j…


MARK LEFTLY SUNDAY 13 NOVEMBER 2011

Michael Howard
Chevron is expected to be the next oil supermajor to break into Kurdistan, the semi-autonomous region of northern Iraq.

On Friday, ahead of today's major oil conference in the Kurdistan capital of Erbil, it emerged that ExxonMobil is the first supermajor to have signed exploration contracts in the region.

Kurdistan regional government adviser Michael Howard claimed there had been talks with several of the world's biggest oil companies. According to sources, Chevron has "run the slide rule" over the Shaikan onshore block, which is majority owned by London-listed group Gulf Keystone Petroleum.

However, it is believed that the Shaikan field, which is estimated to hold an extraordinary 10.5 billion barrels of oil, is actually the subject of one of the six licences that Exxon has taken.

The details of the six licences did not emerge on Friday. But, sources suggest that Dr Ashti Hawrami, Kurdistan's Minister for Natural Resources, plans to open today's conference by revealing the specifics of the deal.

It seems likely that Exxon has taken a 20 per cent stake in Shaikan. The Kurdistan government had an option of taking this stake once the field was proven to be commercially viable, and it is this that has been sold on rather than a portion of Gulf Keystone's undiluted 75 per cent holding.

Gulf Keystone owns other interests in Kurdistan, and sources close to the company believe that at least another two of Exxon's six interests relate to these fields. However, this could not be confirmed yesterday.

The news will be a huge boost to Gulf Keystone's large investor base, which includes a vast number of highly active private investors. The company is one of the biggest on the junior Aim market and its share price has been held back by doubts over the validity of oil contracts in Kurdistan and, arguably, court cases involving boss Todd Kozel.

Baghdad has long argued that contracts signed with Kurdistan are invalid, as the government based in the Iraqi capital takes precedence. There have even been suggestions from Baghdad officials that Exxon has jeopardised its contract on the massive West Qurna-1 field in southern Iraq as a result of the Kurdistan news.

However, Exxon is considered to be a conservative company and oil experts feel that it would not have taken the leap of investing in Kurdistan unless Erbil and Baghdad were close to an agreement on how contracts are to be carved up. Chevron would not face Exxon's potential problems as it does not have any contracts in Baghdad-run southern Iraq.

A spokesman said: "Chevron continues to be interested in pursuing opportunities that help the Iraq government achieve its objectives for the oil and gas industry, while meeting our criteria for investment. We do not discuss specific business opportunities."

Gulf Keystone shares soared on Friday, up 25 per cent to 177.25p. Should the Exxon news prove correct, the group's value should grow higher, provoking feverish chatter that Exxon might attempt to buy Gulf Keystone ahead of its promotion to the main London Stock Exchange next April.

Gulf Keystone's investors are generally loyal and their faith could soon be rewarded. They have been defensive over press stories detailing two ongoing legal cases . One involves Excalibur Ventures, which claims that it is owed about 30 per cent of Gulf Keystone for introducing the company to opportunities in Kurdistan. Excalibur's claims have been fiercely contested, though it is believed that the mysterious US company has heavyweight financial backing.

The other is the estimated $100m divorce of Mr Kozel and his wife, Ashley. This has revealed details of Mr Kozel's share ownership of Gulf Keystone and how he entertained clients.

Another potential entrant to Kurdistan is BP. Former chief executive Tony Hayward recently went into the region through his Vallares investment vehicle, though at the end of last week BP dismissed speculation that it could soon follow. It is more concerned with its difficulties in Russia. On Friday, the group was celebrating a Siberian court victory, when a judge dismissed claims of $16bn against BP.

A minority shareholder in BP's Russian joint venture, TNK-BP, had claimed that the British group had denied the partnership billions of dollars, when, earlier this year, it agreed a complicated share swap arrangement with state-owned Rosneft that involved exploring the Arctic. This collapsed after AAR, the Russian partner in TNK-BP, argued that it defied the terms of their joint venture contract.

Minority shareholder Andrey Prokhorov argued that BP cost the partnership by not putting TNK-BP forward as Rosneft's partner. Eventually, Rosneft agreed to explore the Arctic with Exxon, leaving BP and TNK-BP out of the potentially lucrative deal.

("Gulf Keystone" or "the Company")
Kurdistan Operational Update
Gulf Keystone today provides an update on its ongoing exploration and appraisal programme for the Shaikan block in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Shaikan is a major discovery with independently audited gross oil-in-place volumes of between 8 billion barrels to 13.4 billion barrels calculated on the P90 to P10 basis with a mean value of 10.5 billion barrels.
Shaikan-2 Well Test Update
The Company has completed the testing programme for the Shaikan-2 appraisal well, drilled nine km to the south-east of the Shaikan-1 discovery well.
Following a new Triassic discovery in the Kurre Chine C zone announced in August, the Company has conducted nine well tests in all target formations in the Triassic and Jurassic, with the maximum aggregate flow rate of 18,900 barrels of oil per day ("bopd").
Preliminary results of the Shaikan-2 testing programme formed part of the new data used by Dynamic Global Advisors (DGA), independent Houston-based exploration consultants, to calculate the most recent significant upgrade of the gross oil-in-place volumes for the Shaikan discovery announced in November.
Following the conclusion of the Shaikan-2 testing programme, the well will be completed as a producer and tied to an additional Extended Well Test ("EWT") facility which the Company plans to build and install in 2012.
The Shaikan-2 WDI 842 rig is currently moving to the location of the Shaikan-6 appraisal well, nine km to the east of the Shaikan-2 appraisal well, which is due to spud later in 2011 and will drill to an estimated total depth of 3,800 meters subject to technical conditions.
Gulf Keystone is the Operator of the Shaikan block with a working interest of 75 per cent and is partnered with Kalegran Ltd. (a 100 per cent subsidiary of MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas Plc.) and Texas Keystone Inc., which have working interests of 20 per cent and 5 per cent respectively.
John Gerstenlauer, Gulf Keystone's Chief Operating Officer commented:
"Following these successful well tests at Shaikan-2 and in anticipation of equally positive results from the Shaikan-4 appraisal well, we plan to design and build an additional testing and production facility for Shaikan-2 capable of producing a minimum of 20,000 bopd. The completion of the ongoing upgrade of the existing Shaikan-1 & 3 EWT facilities will lead to an initial production of 20,000 bopd of Shaikan crude to export specifications by mid-2012. The Shaikan-2 facility will increase this production target to 40,000 bopd by the end of 2012. With Shaikan being one of the three major producing oil fields in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq today, we look forward to making a significant contribution to the mid-term regional production and export targets recently announced by the Kurdistan Regional Government."

Die Aktie hat in den letzten Tagen kräftig zugelegt.

[max232]

Bei GKP ist imho eine Situation eingetreten wo sie selbst kaum etwas für den Kurs tun können.
10Mia Barrel Öl ... ist ja fast zu schön um wahr zu sein.

Alles hängt nun davon ab, dass sich KRG und die Zentralregierung in Bagdad auf ein (faires) Ölgesetz einigen. Wenn das geschehen ist, lt. einigen Zeitungsberichten (hab leider jetzt keine Links bei der Hand) soll das Ende 2011/Anfang 2012 sein, dann sollte der Kurs abgehen wie Schmitts Katze.

Der nächste logische Schritt ist ein JV mit einem "Big Boy" (Exxon, Shell, BP, China...) oder gleich Übernahme.

Gulf Keystone notes the continued unfounded press speculation regarding a potential offer for the Company. The Board of Gulf Keystone ("the Board") does not normally comment on speculation, but confirms that it remains committed to creating value for shareholders, via the continuing 2011/2012 exploration and appraisal programme on its world-class assets in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.



Whilst there is clearly increasing interest in the region in which Gulf Keystone operates, the Board is not in discussions with regard to a sale of the Company.

Iraq: Gulf Keystone Petroleum spuds Shaikan-6 appraisal well

20 Dec 2011

Gulf Keystone Petroleum has announced that the Shaikan-6 appraisal well has spudded on the Shaikan Block in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq on 16th December 2011.

Shaikan-6 is the fourth deep appraisal well to be drilled on the Company's major oil discovery with independently audited gross oil-in-place volumes of between 8 billion barrels and 13.4 billion barrels calculated on the P90 to P10 basis with a mean value of 10.5 billion barrels.
Shaikan-6 is being drilled 9 km to the east of the Shaikan-2 appraisal well to an estimated total depth of 3,800 metres subject to technical conditions. Shaikan-6, the last appraisal well to be drilled as part of the Shaikan appraisal programme, will target prospective intervals in the Jurassic and Triassic
Shaikan-6 will be followed by the Shaikan-7 exploration well in 2012, which will target potential untapped resources in the lower Triassic and the Permian, the Company's deepest undrilled horizon to date.
Gulf Keystone is the Operator of the Shaikan Block with a working interest of 75 per cent and is partnered with Kalegran (a 100 per cent subsidiary of MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas) and Texas Keystone, which have working interests of 20 per cent and 5 per cent respectively.
John Gerstenlauer, Gulf Keystone's Chief Operating Officer commented:
'Shaikan-6 is the tenth well to be drilled across the Company's four adjacent blocks and the seventh well to be drilled on the blocks which Gulf Keystone operates in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. This number of completed and current exploration and appraisal wells comfortably places Gulf Keystone among top three operators in the region. As part of our high impact drilling campaign, planned and funded through 2012, the Shaikan-5 and Shaikan-6 appraisal wells will provide us with better understanding of the flanks of the massive Shaikan structure and its yet untapped resources.'

250 pence

Jan. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd., an oil
and gas explorer in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq, rose
to a record on speculation that the company will be sold.
Shares climbed as much as 12 percent in London and traded
up 11 percent at 245.5 pence as of 10:54 a.m., the highest since
listing in 2004. The stock rose 8.6 percent yesterday.
The Bermuda-based company today confirmed that the
Kurdistan regional government has the right to buy into the
Shaikan and Akri-Bijeel blocks. The Daily Mail newspaper
reported that speculation the company will be taken over had
been revived after Gulf Keystone last month denied it was in
talks with Exxon Mobil Corp.
“Gulf Keystone will sell up, that’s the consensus,” said
Alex Ogbechie, an oil analyst at Fox-Davies Capital Ltd. in
London. “It’s just a matter of time. The agreement on
provisions of the contracts makes investors a bit more
comfortable.”

Iraq's Kurds see Exxon deal on track, no obstacles
ARBIL, Iraq, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan government said on Thursday Exxon Mobil Corp's deal with the regional government to develop six exploration blocks was on track and there were no obstacles to it proceeding.

Natural Resources Minister Ashti Hawrami also told Reuters in an interview the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) was in talks with other oil majors and expected further such deals to be agreed in the next few months.

The KRG, he said, had submitted proposed amendments to the long-awaited draft national oil law and the bill was now due to be presented before parliament in Baghdad.

Oil production within Kurdish controlled northern Iraq was expected to be 175,000 barrels per day in 2012, and reach 1 million bpd in 2015, he said.

Meanwhile, Hawrami said a deal with Genel Energy to build a $400 million oil pipeline to link its Tak Tak oilfield with Iraq's export pipeline to Turkey's Mediterranean port of Ceyhan was very close to being signed. (Reporting by Jon Hemming; Editing by Jim Loney)

Could Sinopec be Gulf Keystone's mystery suitor?

By Tamsin Carlisle on January 13, 2012 1:02 AM| No Comments| No TrackBacks


Takeover intrigue is swirling around Bermuda-registered Gulf Keystone Petroleum after the company's market value surged to a record GBP2.28 billion ($3.51 billion) in hectic trading earlier this week on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.


The stock has since retreated on profit-taking, with most investors apparently none the wiser about who might be lining up an offer for Gulf Keystone or its giant Shaikan heavy-oil field in Iraqi Kurdistan.

The chief suspects include some of the world's biggest international oil companies, with US-based ExxonMobil and Chevron heading the list.

Genel Energy, the Anglo-Turkish independent led by former BP CEO Tony Hayward, also has been proposed by some as possibly preparing a bid.

The FTSE company, formed in November through a merger between UK investment vehicle Vallares and Turkey's Genel Enerji, happens to be Gulf Keystone's partner in Kurdistan's Ber Bahr exploration block, on trend with Shaikan. Genel puts the untested resource potential of the block at 1.5 billion barrels of oil, Gulf Keystone disclosed on Monday.

Gulf Keystone itself set off the day-long stock market frenzy with a cryptic public statement pointing to the contractual validity of Kurdish Regional Government options to farm out its carried interests in Shaikan and other oil blocks to third parties. Otherwise, the company is acting coy.

Reached late Tuesday by Platts, Gulf Keystone CEO Todd Kozel would say only that any development potentially affecting the company's share price would be announced through "proper channels".

Missing in action

KRG officials have been unreachable. Key members of the regional government's natural resources department remain missing in action, their multiple cell phones with Iraqi and UK numbers turned off. The whereabouts of Gulf Keystone's country manager for Kurdistan is likewise unknown, even to his friends.

Are government and company officials huddled in a meeting at a secret location? All signs point in that general direction, but what precise geographical location would that be?

Ruled out

For starters, Genel's London head office can be crossed off the list. The high-flying start-up with about $2 billion of cash reserves is well capitalized for what it is.: a small, cash-flow driven independent oil producer. But at this point it has neither the financial nor tehcnical depth to take on the full-field development of Shaikan, a world-class deposit of 10 billion barrels or more of heavy crude.

Rather, the post-merger Genel is tightly focused on realizing the significant upside potential of its existing assets, including its 25% stake in Kurdistan's first producing oil field, Tawke. On Tuesday, Genel said a new independent appraisal had boosted Tawke's estimated proven and probable oil reserves by 78% to more than half a billion barrels.

Also off the list for now is Chevron's global headquarters in San Ramon, California.

The international supermajor is not among those, including rival ExxonMobil, that have signed services agreements with Baghdad to develop and rehabilitate Iraq's large southern oilfields, so might pursue production sharing deals with the KRG with fewer political risks. Baghdad considers the KRG's contracts illegal and has blacklisted companies signing them from bidding on projects in the rest of Iraq.

But sources close to Chevron have told Platts that the company is not interested in doing business in any part of Iraq.

France's Total, which like Chevron and ExxonMobil has plenty of experience in exploiting heavy crude, has also declared a lack of interest in Shaikan, ruling out takeover discussions in Paris.

That leaves ...

ExxonMobil, which reportedly has an exploration and production license for a Kurdish block adjacent to Shaikan, is another matter. It characteristically stated to Platts Tuesday that it never comments on market rumours.

Indeed, it has yet to confirm the KRG's landmark announcement in November that the company had signed contracts for six Kurdish exploration blocks.

However, ExxonMobil typically holds its cards exceedingly close to its chest, so it is too early to conclude that there are no signposts pointing to Irving, Texas.

But what if they point in exactly the opposite direction...to Beijing?

Chinese refining giant Sinopec is Beijing's chosen vehicle for oil investments in Kurdistan, leaving opportunities in the rest of Iraq for other state-controlled oil enterprises such as China National Petroleum Corporation and China National Offshore Oil Corporation.

So far, Baghdad has not taken the drastic step of banning governments whose state-affiliated petroleum entities have signed KRG contracts from doing business in the rest of Iraq.

Sinopec gained its initial foothold in Kurdistan in 2009 by acquiring the Kurdish operations of Addax Petroleum, which was Genel Enerji's partner in developing Kurdistan's second producing field, Taq Taq. It is no secret that the Chinese company is seeking further acquisitions in the region, for which it is willing to pay handsomely.

Moreover, Sinopec operates huge heavy oil refineries in China, and since 2005 has been learning about the upstream end of the business through international partnerships with heavy-oil producers.

In June 2011, Sinopec and Norway's Statoil brought Brazil's technically challenging Peregrino offshore heavy-oil field into production. Also in 2011, Sinopec invested $4/65 billion to buy ConocoPhillip's 9% stake in Canada's biggest oil sands project, Syncrude, after serving a six-year apprenticeship in the country's oil sands sector through a smaller deal.

The KRG might welcome Sinopec as a potential operator for the Shaikan oil field, as China could in time become a valued customer for Kurdish crude.

For his part, Gulf Keystone's Kozel, with limited technical and resources at his disposal, will be looking to cash out on Shaikan with the biggest possible pot of money to fund his next business venture.

The stars seem well aligned for Sinopec to bid for Gulf Keystone or its biggest asset.

Ever enigmatic, ExxonMobil may be eyeing the action, waiting for Beijing to make the first move.

If they sell Shaikan on its todd (pardon the pun) then I would be surprised considering the fill to spill across the blocks scenario.

That said, I posted a while ago the COVE situation where they put up for sale their main assets. The takeover panel pondered on whether this is actually a bid for the main company as other assets were small in comparison.

The same may be relevant to GKP in that any sale of Shaikan would constitute a 'take over' rather than an asset sale.

Might explain why there's some talk about suspensions as GKP may announce an RNS next week, and then suspend the shares pending the Takeover panels decision on the asset sale vs takeover status.

Mind you, our stakes in AB and SA as well as BB have significant worth already proven (BB-1 less so) and even those assets when priced correctly could be worth more than the mid to highest AiM listed companies!

Personally - I would applaud a sale that involved Shaikan only, leaving us the other assets to mature. Just as long as we get a large divi and don't spend the £7bln+ on Spearmint Rhinos.

Bidders sought to build Kurdistan pipeline

Sunday 15 January 2012


Gulf Keystone Petroleum has invited bidders to build a pipeline that would allow the much-watched oil & gas company to export vast supplies of black gold from its key Kurdistan field.


This pipeline would have the capacity to handle 500,000 barrels a day. There is also an option to build a second pipeline, of similar capacity, which would ramp up production to a million barrels a day. That would be more than 1 per cent of the world's oil needs and explains why super-majors are running the slide rule over the company.

Oil sector in Kurdistan is booming

Written on January 14, 2012 by Editor in KRG, Oil

News and Comment by The Kurdistan Tribune:

Ashti Hawrami, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Minister for Natural Resources, has told Reuters that the KRG’s contract with Exxon Mobil is significant because it is the first time that a company of its size and capacity has come to Kurdistan for oil exploration.

The contract was finalised on 18th October 2011 and the company is in the early stages of plans and preparations and so far it has encountered no difficulties.

The minister confirmed that the KRG is in the process of signing further contracts with several more companies, including Marso, Rapsol and OMV.

“The Iraqi government will not create any problems with these contracts because the oil revenue will be shared with the central government, even though some areas of oilfields have not been added back to KRG territory”, he told Reuters.

He confirmed that Kurdistan oil production is expected to reach 1 million barrels per day by 2015.

The KRG is about to sign a $400 million deal with Genel Energy to connect the pipeline from the Tak Tak oilfield to the main Iraqi-owned pipeline going into Turkey.

However, the KRG is also in negotiations with other companies about the building of the KRG’s own pipeline to the outside world – and this is a reason for soaring share prices of companies such as Gulf Keystone.

Gulf Keystone sees up to $500 mln from oil stake

16 Jan 2012 - 07:19
LONDON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - UK-based oil explorer Gulf Keystone <GKP.L> told a conference last week it expected to raise $350-$500 million from the sale of its stake in a Kurdish oil block, according to an analyst's note.
John Gerstenlauer, Chief Operating Officer told a Morgan Stanley investor conference that a data room on the Akri Bijeel block is to be opened next week, and that he expected 10-12 interested parties to participate.
"Gulf Keystone estimates a sale would be finalized by April, with its interest sold for $350-$500m," analysts at the investment bank said.
Gulf Keystone, which says it has found billions of barrels of oil at its Shaikan discovery, said in September it was seeking a buyer for its 20 percent interest in the Akri-Bijeel block to help finance development of other assets.

Gulf Keystone today announces that it has been informed by Mr Todd F Kozel ("Mr Kozel") that pursuant to a confidential Divorce Settlement Agreement executed in Florida, USA on 12 January 2012 (the "Agreement"), Mr Kozel, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has agreed to transfer to Mrs Ashley Kozel ("Mrs Kozel") seventeen million four hundred and thirty-three thousand, four hundred and thirty-three (17,433,433) common shares of the Company for nil consideration (the "Settlement Shares").



The Settlement Shares include 11,600,000 common shares, which were the subject of the Company's announcement dated 13 June 2011.



As part of the divorce settlement the Settlement Shares will be transferred to Mrs Kozel free and clear of any restrictions on their sale other than an orderly market condition on any resale, by Mr Kozel.



A further announcement will be made once the transfer of the Settlement Shares has been completed.



As a result of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement, Mr Kozel now holds:

da haben wir die langersehnte news.......

BAGHDAD, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Iraq's Oil Committee has agreed a final draft of an Oil Law that sets rules for sharing revenues and boosting output and aims to bring in billions of dollars of foreign investment, an Oil Ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.

The draft, drawn up senior national and regional leaders, calls for a federal committee headed by the prime minister to oversee all future contracts. It will have the power to review existing deals signed under Saddam Hussein or by the Kurdish regional government, spokesman Asim Jihad said.

Passing an oil law to help settle potentially explosive disputes among Iraq's ethnic and sectarian communities over the division of the world's third biggest known crude oil reserves has been a key demand of the United States in providing further military support to the national unity government.

The negotiating team, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih, had finalised the draft late on Tuesday, Jihad said, and the bill would go to the full cabinet next week for approval. After that it will go to parliament. Officials hope that the broad base of the negotiating team means it will pass easily.

The final draft was in line with earlier versions described last month after a previous round of talks. A national oil company would be set up to develop production and exports and the law is intended to ensure balanced development of the oil industry across Iraq's regions, Jihad said.

It establishes a mechanism for centralising oil revenues and distributing them to the various regions.

The division of oil is a key factor in communal tensions in Iraq. The southern oil fields around Basra lie in territory controlled by competing factions of the dominant Shi'ite Islamist political forces, some of whom are close to Iran.

The northern fields lie on the edge of Iraqi Kurdistan around the city of Kirkuk. Kurds want to annexe the city as their regional capital and ethnic Arabs and Turkmen accuse the Kurdish militants of ethnic cleansing before a referendum on the city's future which, under the constitution, is due this year.

The Sunni Arab minority dominant under ousted president Saddam Hussein is concentrated in Baghdad and regions immediately to the north and west where there are few known hydrocarbon reserves -- though some potential future finds.

Sunnis have been particularly insistent that the central government in Baghdad control the oil industry, despite a new, U.S.-sponsored constitution, opposed by most Sunnis, which gives newly created federal regions some powers over oil and gas.

Washington and the government of Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki are mounting a major security crackdown in the divided capital Baghdad over the coming months to avert an all-out civil war there between Sunni insurgents and Shi'ite militias.

"Initial results of the Shaikan-4 well testing programme are very encouraging with logging results indicating that Shaikan-4 may be the best well which Gulf Keystone has logged to date in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq."



23 January 2012

Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (AIM: GKP)

("Gulf Keystone" or "the Company")

Kurdistan Operational Update

Gulf Keystone today provides an update on its ongoing exploration and appraisal programme in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which includes the Shaikan block, a major discovery with independently audited gross oil-in-place volumes of between 8 billion barrels to 13.4 billion barrels calculated on the P90 to P10 basis with a mean value of 10.5 billion barrels.

Shaikan-4 Appraisal Well

The well testing programme for the Shaikan-4 appraisal well, drilled 6 km to the west of the Shaikan-1 discovery well, is ongoing with two well tests in the Triassic having been completed to date. Five further tests are planned in the Jurassic and Triassic.

In the course of the first well test conducted in the Kurre Chine C formation, Shaikan-4 achieved a flow rate of 563 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and 3.65 mmscf/d of gas at a 328 psi flowing wellhead pressure.

In the course of the second well test, Shaikan-4 tested a thin zone at the bottom of the Kurre Chine B formation achieving a flow rate of 4,970 bopd and 7.0 mmscf/d of gas at a 1,101 psi flowing wellhead pressure with initial results indicating a 39 degree API fluid.

Shaikan-5 Appraisal Well

The Shaikan-5 appraisal well, 6 km to the north-east of the Shaikan-2 appraisal well, is currently drilling at a measured depth of 1,571 metres in the lower Cretaceous to the estimated total depth ("TD") of 3,500 metres subject to technical conditions.

Shaikan-6 Appraisal Well

The Shaikan-6 appraisal well, 9 km to the east of the Shaikan-2 appraisal well, has drilled to a measured depth of 844 metres in the Cretaceous and 20" casing has been set. The well will drill to the estimated TD of 3,800 metres subject to technical conditions.

Aqra-1 Appraisal Well Spudding

On 17 January 2012, the Operator of the Akri-Bijeel block spudded Aqra-1, the first appraisal well to assess the Bijell discovery with the Operator's current P50 estimate of 2.4 billion barrels of oil in place. The well is being drilled 8 km to the north-west of the Bijell--1 discovery welland 26 km to the west-northwest of the Bekhme-1 exploration well to an estimated TD of over 4,700 metres in the Triassic subject to technical conditions.

According to the Operator's Akri-Bijeel block operational update and 2012 outlook dated 28 December 2011, the Aqra-1 appraisal well, which is expected to be tested in H2 2012, will be followed in 2012 by two exploration wells (Bakrman-1 and Gulak-1) and three additional appraisal wells (Bijell-2, Qalati-1 and Qandagul-1), as well as by two further appraisal wells in 2013. In addition, an extended well test is planned for the Bijell-1 discovery well in 2012, similar to the ongoing successful Shaikan-1 & 3 extended well test.

Gulf Keystone has a 20 per cent working interest in the Akri-Bijeel block operated by Kalegran Ltd., a 100 per cent subsidiary of MOL Hungarian Oil and Gas Plc., which holds 80 per cent working interest in the block. Operator's P50 resource estimate for the Akri-Bijeel block is 2.4 billion barrels of oil-in-place.

Ber Bahr-1 Exploration Well

The first exploration well on the Ber Bahr block is drilling at a measured depth of 2,778 metres in the Triassic to the estimated TD of 3,000 metres subject to technical conditions.

Gulf Keystone has a 40 per cent working interest in the Ber Bahr block operated by Genel Energy, which holds a 40 per cent working interest in the block. The Kurdistan Regional Government has a 20 per cent carried interest in the Ber Bahr Production Sharing Contract. The Operator's resource estimate for the Ber Bahr block is 1.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent-initially-in-place.

John Gerstenlauer, Gulf Keystone's Chief Operating Officer commented:

"Initial results of the Shaikan-4 well testing programme are very encouraging with logging results indicating that Shaikan-4 may be the best well which Gulf Keystone has logged to date in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. We look forward to adding to our already outstanding drilling success in the region by completing further Shaikan-4 well tests, which will be followed by more results from the Shaikan-5 and Shaikan-6 appraisal wells before the appraisal programme of the Shaikan world-class discovery is completed. Initial results from the Ber Bahr-1 exploration well and progress in the 2012 wide-ranging exploration, appraisal and early development programme of the Akri-Bijeel block are also highly anticipated."

Cutting thru the ramping, de-ramping, RNS bull, chart bull, etc... i still think we have 2 more distinct highs before we can even start to think about any potential retraces.

Also i am not ruling out an early TAKEOVER although i really hope that the takeover comes next year rather than this year as i feel we will be at £20 - £30 plus, rather than £12 - £14 plus.

My thoughts are this

- 3 or 4 clear tests of £3 before we even consider a retrace to 265p - 250p

- I would not be suprised if we break thru £3 and hit £4 within 1 - 2 months.

- I see the global powers that be are squeezing Iran and i think this can only be good for KRG/GKP oil.

- The recent tactical retreat from Iraq, is a chance for Iraq to get its own act together and i hope it does, but regardless GKP (backed by the KRG), is much much BIGGER than people realise and trying to read the charts based on historic trading analysis, could mean day traders will miss out on the biggest £/percentage takeover gain ever in the history of stocks and shares.

This share is one for the Warren Buffet traders, just keep accumulating and you are eventually buying oil and a big cash payout.

I now see the GKP risk at any SP below £8 as ZERO risk, but naturally it could be a long term trade if the politics gets dragged out.

I'm just guessing though.

If only you knew what certain events have cost shareholders? Some times you need to bring Board of Directors and CEO back under the control of their shareholders, they are answerable to shareholders. Tthey have rewarded themselves with shares and share options time and time again, while diluting shareholders with arrangements and deals.Just because the company have found large amounts of Oil, it does not mean they can take what they want at shareholders expense. Drilling in Kurdistan, does not ever excuse good tight corperate governace of the company,




Shareholders have ben turned over a few times, and may be will again if shareholders dont stand up and be counted. Its all very well posting positives on the BB, but I would say most need to wake up quickly, or they will not see the fair value they should.

Ever thought about letting the board know you dont agree with rewarding themselves shares and share options when shareholders were and are being diluted.

Exxon moves on Kurdistan despite Baghdad threat
25 Jan 2012 - 13:32
* Scouts for housing, office space; considers seismic tender
* France's Total may be next to follow Exxon into Kurdistan
* Acquisitions, relinquishment, consolidation expected
By Jon Hemming

ARBIL, Iraq, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil <XOM.N>, the first oil major to move into Iraqi Kurdistan, is quietly mobilising in Arbil despite strenuous objections from the central government.
Since the bold play came to light in November, the company has kept silent - fueling speculation that it froze the deal and bowed to Baghdad, which has long held that all foreign oil deals signed with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) are illegal.
But Kurdish officials insist that investment is going ahead and movement on the ground supports their claims.
"They (Exxon) are definitely here and they are definitely assessing living and working accommodation," said a Western industry source in Arbil, at the heart of Iraq's northern Kurdish region. [ID:nL5E7KM3FA][ID:nL5E7MM49Y]
"There are around 10 individuals here at any one time looking at what it takes to fully mobilise here - office space, housing space, these types of things. No oil company comes in in a day."
Exxon executives met the region's Natural Resources Minister Ashti Hawrami last week, sources in Arbil said, and are preparing to issue a tender for seismic work for some, if not all, of the six exploration blocks acquired in October. [ID:nL5E7MB0YP]
The move north sparked fury in Baghdad, which is threatening to take action against Exxon - in charge of developing the supergiant West Qurna-1 oil field in southern Iraq. Exxon has been summoned to the oil ministry for final talks.
It is unclear whether the discussions would take place before the U.S. major's fourth quarter results on Jan. 31 - when it is also expected to go public with its Kurdistan investment.
In the meantime, however, it is business as usual - production at West Qurna-1 has risen to about 390,000 barrels per day and Exxon continues to lead a multi-billion dollar water injection project that is crucial to boosting output in the south.
CONSOLIDATION
Before signing the deal with Kurdistan, Exxon was sure to have weighed any possible legal challenges.
"I'm sure Exxon has more lawyers than probably there are Ministry of Oil officials in Baghdad," said the industry source.
Such calculations are likely to influence other oil majors who may be considering moving into Kurdistan, and the lack of concrete action from Baghdad as yet is sure to reinforce the belief that it could prove a sound investment.
The KRG's Hawrami told Reuters this month the KRG was in talks with other oil majors and he expected further agreements to be signed in the next few months.
Lack of security, political instability, bureaucracy and the relatively unattractive oil deals in the rest of Iraq are driving international oil majors towards following Exxon's lead and signing exploration and production contracts with Kurdistan.
After Exxon snapped up the last unclaimed Kurdish territory, new arrivals will be looking to farm into existing blocs. France's Total <TOTF.PA> is keen to move into the north, sources said, and a link up with Anglo-French explorer Perenco in the Sindi-Amedi block along the Turkish border is one scenario.
Total also has a minority stake in the Halfaya oil field in southern Iraq.
Other names frequently mentioned are Eni <ENI.MI> and Lukoil - that are also involved in the south of Iraq. Chevron <CVX.N> and Conoco Phillips <COP.N>, which have nothing at stake, may also be interested, said the Western industry source.
"Ashti Hawrami was very clever in the way he set up the oil industry here, starting with small companies to get things off the ground," said an Western oil executive who declined to be named. "It was almost designed to lure in the oil majors, and that is what we are seeing now."
With the KRG estimating it has 45 billion barrels of oil

[Coxos]

ein keystonianer psotete gerade das

I went to the forum this morning and saw six oil and gas companies present one of which was our beloved gkp, represented by Todd Kozel.

The following are my notes and in no way are guaranteed or to be interpreted as a recommendation of any sort. ALL the usual caveats apply.


Currently looking for 3rd non executive director. Stressed that they are striving for quality in NED's from a corporate governance viewpoint. GKP are the most active company in Kurdistan with five drills currently turning.

The upside potential on Shaikan is 100% based upon 8-13 bn barrels of oip.

The strike rates in Kurdistan are likely to move towards worldwide averages and not be like shooting fish in a barrel in terms of discoveries.

They are NOT calling AB a discovery yet. Estimated to contain 2.5 bn barrels and then went on to say that BB is the same as Shaikan if successful in terms of the drill site I think (later referred to BB as 1.5 times Shaikan).

The preliminary development plan has been finished and submitted and includes 122 km pipeline, cost $150m plus or minus, bidding on the pipeline in the next couple of months, operational by end 2013, Shaikan capable of 500-550k bpd then plateauing at around 450k, multi wells off single pads, between 50 - 60 wells.

Intend to maintain drilling pace for foreseeable future: May/June sh 1, 3 & 4 40k bopd would mean self funding program's going forwards, then sh 2, 5 & 6 November 2012 to 60k bopd.

Currently funded thru 2013 including pipeline, development and appraisal.

Big play of involvement in Kurdistan including sponsoring seats at university and employing locals first wherever possible. Gone from 17 to 800 Kurds on the books.

KRG target of 1m bopd gkp will be a significant part of that. Considerable amount of respect between KRG and gkp. Proven premier operating company in sector.

Short and sweet presentation said TK.

Turning into appraisal and production company. Can produce 80k bopd now. Experienced no delays at all on anything with respect to politics and made great play of avoiding whole political issue. Stays well out of it. KRG very responsive and gkp not only have permission for pipeline but have encouragement for it.

Working for April admission to main listing.

When question cam up about refining in southern Iraq, said "I would'nt want to build a refinery in southern Iraq I don't about you".

FWIW, this is what I noted. The overriding impression I got is one of a man who wants to take his company up the ladder a few rungs and who has the discoveries to do it. Time will tell whether or not he gets the chance. One thing I do feel is that I'm not at all sure I would want to be negotiating with him. I get the impression that if he doesn't like what is said, the next thing you would see would be his back leaving the room!

Total Nears Exploration Rights Deal in Kurdistan France’s largest oil and gas producer, is close to securing exploration rights over several oil and gas blocks in Kurdistan, northern Iraq, the Sunday Times said, citing unidentified industry insiders.
A deal could be announced within weeks, according to the newspaper. Chevron Corp. (CVX) and ConocoPhillips are also vying for rights in the semi-autonomous region, the newspaper reported.

Apologies, new to this Board so re-posting some details that I placed in different thread earlier. Hope of interest:

I just attended the NY investor summit, so here's a brief summary of what JG said. Presentation seemed to be same as for LSE last week but some very interesting snippets. Apologies in advance as a lot of scribbles (feel free to post on iii if of interest as trying to sort my login out there), and usual disclosures about information and how it should be treated apply (this is a brief summary only)

- JG opened by saying this would be the 'best story of the day'. He explained how the company had grown from almost $40m in value to nearly $4bn in a few years.

- He gave the current figures for oil in all blocks and said there is PLENTY of upside left. He said that he believes current figures (for Shaikan in particular) are conservative. He later mentioned on 2 separate occasions they are confident Shaikan is full to spill and a figure of 18bn barrels is likely.

- As heard before, they have tested all the good stuff and are now testing all the 'bad stuff' to see what is really there. He mentioned one part that was a pokey little area and which produced 5,000bpd

- SH-1 and SH-3 are hooked up for production, have expanded well test facilities. SH-4 is the best so far, they are still testing.

- Sheikh Adi they believe there is a lot more oil on the other side of the fault. SH-7 will be the last of the Shaikan appraisal wells. ALL reservoirs and intervals (in SH) have been full of oil and gas. No dry holes, not even in the intervals. They are looking at 300m (1,000ft of net pay which is huge amount).

- 122km pipeline to start this summer. $170mn costs, will finish mid 2013.

- After SH-6 TD, GKP has 30 days to submit development plan to KRG in July / August this year. The clock starts then (on the 30 year production front).

- He believes they have a 10 year plateau of producing between 400k and 600k bpd. Shaikan could be producing for 80 to 100 years so they will leave a lot of oil in the ground.

- **He says according to KRG website BIRs are to be sold to KNOC, the Koreans (note I believe he was referring specifically to Shaikan here, which is why I was surprised).

- Every piece of news on Shaikan good so far, not limited by water point to date. Testing on wells limited to 10,000bpd but more potential.

- cash flow to finance everything. Project insensitive to Capex / Opex issues.

- No security concerns. 5 years in Kurd, no incident. Erbil like a mini Dubai, boom town.

- Shaikan lots of directional drilling. 1mbpd AVAILABLE in Kirkuk to Ceyhan pipeline. They will have capacity for 400,000bpd but could 'twin' the pipeline to expand this.

- More on figures. BB - 5bn to 10bn expected, SA - 3bn to 6bn, SH 18bn, AB - MID 20s. (yes, big number). Said if they don't get good price for AB share (process to start this week) then they would hang on as could be v profitable.

- DGA report would not be until SH-5 complete so few months away. Next report likely to be from ERC Equapoise(?).

- Still on course for FTSE main listing (would currently be number 95).

- Asked whether they plan to fully develop Shaikan or sell off: they are continuing with their full plan "BUT WHEN THEY WANT TO BUY US ( I understood meaning Shaikan), they're going to buy us. Many majors.. [will be interested]".

Please don't take everything word for word as this is a broad summary. My impression is they are conituning to do all possible to prove up the oil, increase production and create more attractive assets. However, at some stage, a big player will in all probability take a piece(s) off their hands.

He said what they do know of Shaikan so far is worth about double the current share price....

I always like to hear what JG has to say, because he comes across as cautiously optimistic... and not a man who is likely to let the story get ahead of itself.

He has told us many times that he thinks a recovery rate of 30-35% is reasonable, and he continues to report upgraded OIP figures much in line with those forecast. In essence, he never seems to say anything other than what he can subsequently prove.

So, it is worth reminding ourselves that he recently mentioned that Akri-Bijeel should command a price tag of between $350 and $500 million, despite the disappointment of Bekhme.

GKP’s 12.8% Net WI in AB currently amounts to 2.4 billion x 0.33 x 12.8% = 100 MILLION barrels of estimated reserves.

So, that suggested that JG was expecting between $3.50 and $5 per barrel based on the results to date.

According to HamishNY’s notes from the presentation yesterday, JG also said “what they do know of Shaikan so far is worth about double the current share price....”

So, what do they KNOW so far?

Latest OIP figures 10.5 billion (P50), JG assumes one-third recoverable, and there is a Net WI 54.4% (after Texas Keystone’s current interest is applied).

10.5 billion x 33%RF x 0.544 = 1900 MILLION barrels of estimated reserves.

Furthermore, GKP’s share price yesterday when he gave his presentation was 279p and gave us a market cap of about £2.4 billion. So, if we were then about half of what JG thinks Shaikan is currently worth, he must see Shaikan as presently worth around £4.8 billion (or $7.6 billion).

And $7.6 billion for 1900 million barrels = $4 PER BARREL, very much in the same ball park as his mid-point estimate for a barrel of AB reserves.

It seems to me then that this is the second indication of how JG appears CAUTIOUSLY to consider what a buyer would pay for GKP’s oil.

But what else does JG say about Shaikan?
He estimates that it will hold 18 BILLION barrels OIP (Note: that is still quite CAUTIOUS compared to TK’s forecast the other day of a 100% upside from where we are now).

*** On the same basis as the figures above, JG's estimate would mean about 3.2 BILLION barrels of reserves attributable to GKP from Shaikan alone ***.

Think about this...

3.2 billion x JG’s very cautious $3.5 per barrel = $11.2 billion = £7 BILLION
And 3.2 billion x JG’s more optimistic $5 per barrel = $16 billion or £10 BILLION.

Now where have I heard those figures before? Oh yes...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/exxon-woos-g…

Extract: < US oil supermajor Exxon Mobil is understood to have sounded out London-listed Gulf Keystone Petroleum (GKP) over a possible deal that could value the Kurdistan-focused group at around £7bn.
GKP has a market capitalisation of around £1.5bn and is listed on the junior Aim market, but its chief executive, Todd Kozel, believes the group could eventually go for double-figure billions.>

But, of course GKP then famously denied that there were any talks regarding the sale of the COMPANY.... leaving the door wide open for the fact that there might still have been talks about the sale of SHAIKAN.

Hmmm... hasn't GKP’s very own Chief Operating Officer (JG) just told us that he believes that SHAIKAN alone should soon command a price tag of about £10 BILLION under a competitive bidding process?


Let us also remind ourselves of what HamishNY stated this morning in his notes on JG’s presentation about the rest of the company.

“More on figures. BB - 5bn to 10bn expected, SA - 3bn to 6bn, SH 18bn, AB - MID 20s. (yes, big number). Said if they don't get good price for AB share (process to start this week) then they would hang on as could be v profitable.”

On the same basis as above, this would mean...

1. AKRI-BIJEEL (mean figure of 25 billion barrels OIP)
25 billion x 33% RF x 12.8% Net WI = 1 BILLION barrels of estimated reserves

<Note: I wonder whether that was in there because the results

Update on operations in Algeria

Agreement on the Hassi Ba Hamou Permit

Gulf Keystone is pleased to announce that all required documentation has been executed and all necessary Government approvals obtained pursuant to the agreement between the Company and BG Group, the Operator, providing for the transfer of the Company's right, title and interest for no consideration in the Hassi Ba Hamou (HBH) Permit to the Operator and Sonatrach.

"We are pleased that with the HBH transfer we have made good progress towards achieving our goal of a gradual strategic exit from Algeria. We are firmly focused on our operations spanning four exploration blocks in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, including the Shaikan world-class discovery, where the 2012/13 high impact drilling campaign is currently underway following excellent results achieved in 2011."

Dies könnte warum wir gestiegen.

Von Robert M Cutler-MONTREAL

Die irakische Regierung mitteilte am Mittwoch, dass es bestehende Verträge mit ExxonMobil Corp im Süden des Landes respektieren wird, nachdem das Unternehmen neue Öl Angebote mit der kurdische regionale Regierung (KRG) im Norden unterzeichnet. Das politische Zentrum in Bagdad hält solche Verträge mit der Regionalregierung Kurdistan illegal.


Die Regierung hat, die nächste nationale Runde der Lizenzierung, laut Berichten von AK News, auch bekannt als Kurdistans Nachrichtenagentur jedoch ExxonMobil ausgeschlossen. Die nächste Runde der Lizenzierung ist Anfang März nächsten Jahres.


ExxonMobil ist mit Royal Dutch Shell im Feld West Weltgrößtes im Süden des Irak, westlich von Basra, ein Gebot akzeptiert von Bagdad im November 2009 nach Rohöl Produktion. Es ist jedoch nur in der ersten Phase der Entwicklung des Feldes, als im Dezember des gleichen Jahres beteiligt, die russische Lukoil und Norwegens Statoil Rechte für die zweite Phase der Entwicklung ausgezeichnet wurden.

Für Bagdad zu ihrer Vereinbarung mit ExxonMobil bei West Weltgrößtes über die KRG verstoßen würde Verträge dringend benötigte Vertrauen während der bevorstehenden Lizenzierung Runde vielleicht irreparabel Schaden. Es scheint keine Rechtsgrundlage, die die Zentralregierung an einer solchen Nichtigerklärung aufrufen könnte.

Faust Investor 48

Hallo ihr alle

Insgesamt ist Eintrag in Kurdistan, zeigt deutlich das Scheitern der TSC, die Schahristani Gedanke war das beste Angebot aller Zeiten für den Irak!

Die Times berichtete auch die Exxon Eintrag in Kurdistan irgendwann im Juni letzten Jahres, und in den meisten Fällen Berichten renommiertesten Medien selten Nachrichten, wenn sie nicht, die Echtheit ihrer Quelle wissen.

ExxonMobil, BP, SHELL, TOTAL, CNPC, CNOOC, Etc, etc. gereizten für diese TSC Ende 2009, denken, indem man einen Fuß in den südlichen Irak, sie in Zukunft bessere Angebote mit Bagdad verhandeln können.Diese Öl-Unternehmen, IMHO wohl auch versprochen, dass die Öl- und Gas-Gesetz nach den Wahlen März 2010 übergeben werden würde.

Als solche keine Öl-Recht in platziert, kein Öl-Major oder sogar NOC investieren Milliarden auf sekundäre Wiederherstellung, wie z. B. das massive Flut Wasserprojekt mit behandeltem Meerwasser, mit einer mageren Rendite von zwischen USD 1.50-3.00 pro Barrel Öl profitieren!Bitte denken Sie daran, dass diese Majors eigene gezielte IRR für ihre Investitionen haben!

Haben setzen Sie einen Fuß im Süden des Irak, wurden diese Majors und NOCs hoffen, dass die neue Erforschung Anbauflächen im Süden könnte untereinander mit Bagdad, ausgehandelt werden da sie in der ersten Runde von den Provened Ölfeldern TSC nahm, aber leider, Runde 2 wird auch beboten werden, und noch kein Öl-Gesetz in Sicht!

Total Eintrag in Kurdistan ist der Anfang vom Ende der Schahristani des Öl-Politik und Spiel für Bagdad!!Wie viele weitere Ölgesellschaften und NOCs kann Bagdad schwarze Liste?!

Bagdad sollten jetzt sitzen mit nach unten mit Kurdistan Erstellung einer umfassenden Öl zu Politik, die macht es Messe Ölgesellschaften und der NOC, Pass das Öl Recht, als mit politischen Rhetorik, die nicht den gewöhnlichen profitieren weiterhin irakischen, und sollte nun das Gesicht und stolz Isuues hinter sich, anzuerkennen, dass Ashti Hawrami Öl Strategien haben gearbeitet und Kurdistan profitiert und wird auch profitieren Irak.

Für diejenigen, die Kurdistan fürchten, sollte man nun die Schriften an der Wand sehen, dass Politik in Bagdad nicht die Menschen in der Ölindustrie abhalten Investitionen in Kurdistan!

Investieren Sie der Tony Hayward und Nat Rothschild der Welt blind nicht in Kurdistan!GKP hat Shaikan entdeckt, einer der größten Entdeckung in 30years und es macht uns alle GKpians, wie viel Wert realisieren Shaikan GKP, nur durch sich selbst ist!

Am Freitag den Schlusskurs von 275 p werden wir bald des Managements Aktienoptionen von 325 p und 375 p testen!!Die Dynamik ist jetzt, zu stark und nicht zu stoppen!

Während viele Derampers von GKP haben der Intelligenz der meisten Pi der letzten Monate mit ihrer Vermutung eines Atomkriegs schmälern, ihren kleinen Preis Vorhersage Maschine, etc., etc., die die Grundlagen der GKP weiterhin stärken durch den Monat und das Kurdistan ist eindeutig die bevorzugte Investition Region im Irak.

Große Beziehungen mit der Türkei, mit den Plänen ihrer eigenen Rohrleitungen und Zahlungsmechanismus sortiert mit der Türkei, gibt es deutliche Anzeichen, die Kurdistan Bagdad übergeben das Ölgesetz nicht wartet!Mit oder das Öl Recht, kurdischen Öl fließt und entsprechend Ashti, wird es gegen 1 Million Barrel pro Tag bis 2015.

Interessante Tage und Wochen im voraus!Dies ist der aufregendste bestand, IMHO die nächsten paar Wochen!

Goodluck und besten Wünsche zu alle, werden standhaft, da die meisten von euch bereits so geduldig holding GKP für die letzten 24-36months!

Investor 48

Nun meine Antwort.

Hallo Investor 48

Sie haben vollkommen Recht!

Ich habe gesagt, für Monate jetzt, dass Februar Schlüssel war...

Warum gut Feb – wie ich viele Male zuvor sagte schon:

1. Der Untervertrag Bruch Bericht, den Faktor definieren wird im Februar
(2) Der DGA-Bericht, der den Fraktur-Bericht beiliegt ist fällig im Februar
(3) Der Bruch-Bericht sollte ermöglichen, dass 2P Reserven gebucht werden, da wir eine überprüfbare RF haben
4. Ber Bahr – ist die letzte ungebohrt Komponente unserer vier Blöcke auf Bericht im Februar
5, Exxon Geschäftsbericht ist fällig im Februar
6. Sh4-Testergebnisse sind im Februar und
7. Mit ihm eine Aufwertung in OIP bereits von Todd signalisiert

Ich brauche nicht Spencer, mir zu sagen, dass Februar wichtig ist!

Es dauert kein Genie zu sehen, dass Februar ist der Schlüssel-ich es monatelang gesagt habe wie Sie meinen Freund haben!

Herzliche Grüße

Ich hab mich schon schwer getan, aufgrund der "hohen" Kursregion, hier jetzt noch zu investieren. Deswegen hab ich da vor 3 Wochen nur 2,5% Depotvolumen reingepackt, nachdem coxos den Wert im Cline Mining Thread empfohlen hatte. Hätte ich mal mehr investiert, aber der Depotanteil scheint ja grade mächtig zu steigen. Nachher ist man immer schlauer.

Oder meintest Du die geografische Region?

Zitat von gnuldi: im brief hotstock europe wird nochmals auf die moegliche uebernahme hingewiesen

Wenn man sich den Kurs und das Handelsvolumen der letzten Wochen anschaut, deutet alles auf eine Übernahme hin.

Ich denke das der Kurs suksezzive an den Übernahmepreis annäheren wird....ich ging vorher von einem Knallbonbon aus.

Wir hatten eine kleine Konso, und jetzt geht es UP

Mein KZ für Ende Februar ( falls keine Übernahme vorher erfolgt),liegt zwischen 5,5 € und 6,5 €.
Es kann aber auch vorher schon richtig Druck auf dem Kessel geben.

Hallo zusammen,

ich bin über Umwege auf GKP aufmerksam geworden - und ich muss sagen, mir gefällt was ich sehe

Den Thread habe ich mir gestern komplett quergelesen. Respekt an alle die dabei sind, natürlich ganz besonders an die "alten Hasen".

Meine Frage an euch:
Wer kennt ShaMaran (Liegenschaftsnachbar, Beteiligung an Block 11)? Habt Ihr eine Meinung dazu? Die haben kürzlich zwei andere, aus ihrer Sicht teuere und wenig erfolgsversprechende Lizenzen zurückgegeben, wollen sich fortan hauptsächlich auf "Atrush" konzentrieren (WI 26,8%).
Grenzt im Norden direkt an Shaikan an

Kurs: 22CAD
TSX.V: SNM

Ok, >800Mio Shares sind eine Hausnummer. Wenn man aber die Lundin-Group im Hintergrund kennt und sich die auf sedar umsieht und GKP als Nachbarn und berücksichtigt dass die sich nur noch auf diesen Block konzentrieren wollen...


Ich hoffe Ihr nehmt mir das nicht übel, würde mich freuen wenn einer sich schon mal damit befasst hat. Bisher gibt es leider noch keinen Thread dazu.

Viel Glück an alle GKPler!

[moneyscheffler]

Als Kasachstan Oil durch die Chinesen übernommen wurde..waren es über 3000%!

Ich wäre mit 1000 % zufrieden.
Ach was, auch mit 500 % wär das ein Ding, dass ich es richtig krachen lassen würde.

[branigan]

Wenn wir das hier nicht mit unseren eigenene Augen sehen würden, wir würden es nicht glauben. Sogar wer um den Jahreswechsel eingestiegen ist, ist schon fett im Plus.

In einem der hier in den letzten Tagen verlinkten Artikel stand irgendwas, dass die Marktkapitalisierung von derzeit 2,5 Millionen auf 7,0 Millionen steigen kann oder soll (hab das nicht ganz verstanden).

Da stand der Kurs bei 300 oder knapp drüber. Die Tendenz würde ja dann Richtung 850 oder vielleicht sogar höher gehen.

so in etwa wars


French oil major Total SA pledged to raise its capital expenditure to $24 billion in 2012, joining an industry trend for big oil companies to have to spend more on exploration and development to replenish dwindling supplies.

The increase, which compares with Total's capex of $20.6 billion last year, came as Total on Friday reported higher fourth-quarter profit on the back of rising oil and gas prices.

Shell and BP have also lately announced significant capex rises and some investors fear the additional spending will not significantly boost returns as margins on many new projects are tight.

Total shares traded down 0.8 percent at 40.83 euros by 0956 GMT, against a 0.6 percent drop in the STOXX Europe 600 Oil and Gas index. The stock had risen in the previous session to its highest since May last year, but remains well below a peak of 63.40 euros set in mid 2007.

Total Chief Executive Christophe de Margerie added he was looking at investing in the semi-autonomous Kurdish area of Iraq but found southern Iraq unattractive.

Total said net income excluding one-off items related to changes in the value of fuel inventories rose 7 percent to 2.73 billion euros ($3.6 billion). Analysts at Bernstein and Cheuvreux said the result was in line with their expectations.


STRONG DEMAND

In dollar terms, Total's underlying profit was 6 percent higher than the same period in 2010, compared with a 14 percent rise at BP Plc and an 18 percent increase at Royal Dutch Shell Plc.

Brent crude averaged $109 per barrel in the quarter, up 26 percent on the same period in 2010 due to strong global demand and unrest in the Middle East, while the price Total received for its natural gas rose 21 percent.

However, Total said its return on average capital employed (ROACE) fell, in part because of higher costs which increased 14 percent, on a per barrel basis, in the upstream division.

Rivals like Shell have also reported lower ROACE and higher capex budgets, leading investors to worry that they are spending more to generate the same returns as in the past.

Oil prices were at an all time record for a full year in 2011, yet the big oil companies failed to match the headline profit figures or ROACE rates they were reporting several years ago when oil prices were much lower.

Total said its production was unchanged in the fourth quarter at 2.38 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) and fell 1 percent over the year to 2.35 million boepd.

A weak refining market also weighed on results and forced Total, Europe's largest refiner by capacity, to write down the value of its crude processing assets.

Total confirmed it expected to increase production by between 2 and 3 percent in 2012, depending on production recovery in Libya and Syria.

Morgen zusammen,
ein Bilderbuchmäßiger Chartverlauf von GKP
Ich hatte bereits vor 2 Wochen auf einen Kurs von 5,5- 6,5€ bis Ende Februar getippt, und ich denke heute noch das wir diesen bis dahin auch erreichen werden.

Ich bin mir relativ sicher das es hier zu einer Übernahme kommen wird........
Vor ein paar Tagen haben ich im Netz( NTV) einen Artikel über die Majors gelesen, mit dem Tenor :

Einige große Ölkonzerne sind auf der Suche nach kleinen Explorern und Produzenten um diese und damit ihre bestätigten Funde zu übernehmen.
Erwähnt wurden insbesondere Exxon , BP d.h. weniger selbst explorieren sondern direkt die Unternehmen aufkaufen.

Ich hoffe das GKP bald auch dabei sein wird ....

Was den Sharepreis bei einer Übernahme betrifft...keine Ahnung, hier kann man nur spekulieren....je mehr desto besser !

Desweiteren denke ich, das sebst heute der Kurs an sich noch günstig ist, ich dachte selbst bei meinem Einstig hier, das 2,1 € relativ teuer wäre, und wo stehen wir heute ?

Einen erfolgreichen Handelstag wünscht

Gulf Keystone Petroleum dips as broker suggests profit taking but remains positive
Oil explorer has more than doubled since the start of the year, partly on takeover speculation


Gulf Keystone Petroleum, an oil explorer focused on Kurdistan, is a favourite among many private investors, not least because of takeover speculation bubbling below the surface.

With the company causing some excitement with its latest exploration well, there has been much talk that it could attract attention from larger groups wanting a presence in the region. US giants such as ExxonMobil have been mentioned, and the company was even forced to announce in December it was not in talks about selling a stake in the business.

Still, its followers have seen its shares more than double since the start of the year, and its market capitalisation is more than £3bn. If not for the fact it is listed on Aim - the junior market - it would pretty much be a shoo-in for the FTSE 100.

Today its shares have slipped 7.25p to 389.75p on a bit of profit taking. But analysts at Seymour Pierce have issued a new recommendation on the business just a couple of days after beginning coverage with a buy rating and 374p target price. They said the entry of Exxon and Total into the Kurdistan region enhanced its credibility as a possible major oil producing province. They added:

We feel that the persistent take over rumours are premature, but likely to be accurate in the longer term.

Today, raising his price target to 524p but at the same time suggesting investors might cash in some of their gains, Seymour analyst Dr Doug Youngson said:

Gulf Keystone continues its strong run in 2012 and has surpassed our original share price target of 374p. We have reviewed our valuation for the company's 2C [contingent] resources and have now moved from the low case scenario to the best case scenario. This moves our valuation for these resources from 317p to 467p, all other assumptions remain the same.

The next major share price driver will be the result from the Ber Bahr-1 well which we expect to come in early March. Gulf Keystone has been one of the strongest performing stocks on Aim this year. Investors may want to consider taking profits ahead of the next well result to mitigate against the risk of a poor outcome.
And so, at the moment, they seem to be doing.

Heutiger Independent-Beitrag:

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/oil-group-pl…

Gulf Keystone Petroleum (GKP), the fast-growing oil group, plans to move to the main board of the London Stock Exchange in April.

The Iraq-focused oil group, which is currently listed on the junior Aim-market, has long targeted a move to the full index, though the timing has not been certain partly due to share ownership issues.

However, the one-time minnow's growth has been so extraordinary in the past two months that GKP would comfortably qualify for the FTSE 100 blue chip club.

Todd Kozel, GKP's hugely colourful executive chairman from Texas, told The Independent on Sunday: "We're not that little kid in short-pants anymore, it's time to move to the full list. We're working on it [a full listing] operationally, internally, administratively and I'd like to have this done in April, maybe May."

Mr Kozel, inset below, said the recent rise, which has seen the price climb from 128p at the end of October to 411p at close of play on Friday, was due to the "world waking up" to the vast oil reserves GKP possesses in the semi-autonomous region of Kurdistan in Iraq. This increased share price values the company at around £3.5bn.

Institutional investors' interests have been piqued by widespread speculation that bidders are circling GKP. US giant ExxonMobil, which has bet heavily on the region, has run the slide rule over the company, with rumours suggesting that Chinese giant, Sinopec, has also mulled an offer.

A leading investor said that the huge level of recent interest in the shares was partly down to institutions looking to sweep up shares ahead of GKP joining, at least, the FTSE 250. More fund managers have looked to take shares once they realised that it was likely to be a FTSE 100 company.

However, Mr Kozel said that he hoped that small private investors, who speculate feverishly about the company on online discussion forums and some of whom have risked their life-savings on GKP, would not be squeezed out by the big City firms.

"We have plenty of blue chip institutions invested in us already, why shouldn't the private investors stay as well? What's the difference between them and the blue chips [to the final share price]?" he asked.

Leading City investors have held private concerns about GKP because of confusion over Mr Kozel's ownership of the company, which is held through a series of trusts. These were partially unravelled in his divorce of Ashley Kozel, which was finally settled last month and also entertained the City with evidence that he gave about strippers in glamorous nightclubs.

Mr Kozel laughed about the details of his personal life, revealed in these pages last year, but added: "GKP is evolving quickly, creating value quickly, and is noth-ing short of a world class asset."

Will be shown with supporting evidence proving 1P OIL RESERVES at SHAIKAN has now been upgraded to [b]8 Billion Barrels registered-PUD from 5B.

ohne Worte

Ölpreis legt auch weiter zu, einerseits gut für das Invest !
andererseits....schlecht für mein Tankbudget..brauche Superplus

Aber was soll es, bald habe ich hier eine Rendite, die reicht für 10 Jahre tanken.....

FE,

Indeed.

Basic calculation tells you it's worth way more..................

TH paid $5.80 for P1/P2 reserves.

54% x 8bn x $5.80 = $25bn
Using 900m shares = $27.77 per share = £17.58 per share.

So, £17.50 per share there or thereabouts, and that's if Shaikan ONLY has 8bn reserves..............

Sub £5?

You're having a laugh mate.
