Reminder that the put agreement notified as being exercised in today RNS is priced at 0.75p (more than double the current SP). Bodes well.

Not really. It is just the Executive Chairman buying more shares at a premium to halt any further decline in the share price due to any overhang. Can't blame R Jennings though as the shares only cost him 0.021p and now he has offloaded the lot at 0.075p when all he would have got on the open market was about 0.025p or less.
I would rather the share price go up as a response to flowing oil rather than silly director's buys.
But then you all know my opinion here anyway. And dream on, but it won't do you any good.
Am I right in thinking that the RNS out this morning is a very positive step for the direction of the company. I would expect a very blue day .... GLA
The next update should be much quicker providing they learn their lessons from the last well.
Luke. Not a lot of interest at the moment..just 1 buy. Thats even less than I hold!!! We need some momentum going with a good PR and Media push imo
Will be interesting to see how many get in here prior to the results being released ?
We expect them to start the tests on TO-13 this week ? hopefully to report great flow results in a 2/3 weeks ? then revert back to TO-14 and hopefully report similar ? I dont think they would bother going back to T0-14 if they didnt know they could overcome the previous obstacles ?
Also we now know from last weeks RNS that our new Director, ex Chevron Oil, Geraldine Geraldo, put up £200K last week to buy in at 0.50p per share and other Investors added a further £1 million plus at the same sp of 0.50p, so they are all very confident of a marked increase in our sp imo ? GLA
Well not alot happening here, and I can't see any news this week coming .... hopefully I'm wrong ....
Hi Dan,. TBVH, we drilled to a specific depth based on data mapping for a reason. The reason being was to take advantage of latest perforation & extraction techniques that were not available when Petrofina were on site, not to mention the advanced data mapping technologies, oh so many years ago. The conversation between BoD and Sonangol obviously was to take advantage of the entire column.
To me it seems that Sonangol may have gone too 'gung ho' into the perforation of the previously never encountered sections lower down, but the plan was always to perforate IMO, they just didn't expect the increased water influx. So I believe when they return to TO14, they'll have to plug/seal the lower section and clean out any remaining fluids and perforate the top sections.
Good evening Ed,
Thank you for your valued opinion. If you read between the lines it certainly appears that corcel/extraction are confident of a significant sp rise. In my opinion to show that level of confidence suggests they know what's gone wrong with to14 and either how to overcome it or how to avoid it happening with to13. You wouldn't offer to purchase shares at a significant premium if you were at the mercy of the geology. I believe it was bladey who came up with the theory which certainly holds some weight.
To think that one of the biggest O&G players in the world have messed up on what should be a straight forward drill is quite surprising but these things happen.
I don't know why LSE mess around the punctuation!

Is there a connection between the Put Option and the TR1 seller today??? Put Option announced that brings volume followed by a TR1 from a seller with a spread betting account. Could this mean the spread betting account holder sold into the volume created by the Put Option RNS?
Good morning Dan,
Well we only have limited information to work on. So we don't know if they took open hole samples before casing, we also don't know if they did sidewall coring before casing and testing. So is it possible that they have hit a water filled compartment in the deeper part of the well, perhaps. Water zones in a well, once identified, can be isolated and plugged. So yes what folks are describing does happen, we currently don't know how much of the 80m has been perforated to date. Wells are tested from the bottom up as its fairly straight forward to isolate and plug off lower sections while continuing to test upper sections. Clearly TO-14 is unfinished business otherwise they would have just plugged it now rather than return there after TO-13. Nitrogen is used in clean up operations, so it will be interesting to see what further updates come from both wells. The fact that Sonangol want to return to TO-14 after TO-13 is certainly positive.
The company does remain optimistic and positive given recent statements
15th April
"our ongoing optimism regarding the reactivation of the historic Tobias field in Angola."
28th March
"we remain positive, knowing we have encountered oil in the well and don't yet know its ultimate commercial prospectivity."
Its still a case of wait and see, we still don't know why Petrofina only produced from the top 8 metres of TO-4. There will be lots more news to come and hopefully we won't have to wait as long to get the flow test results from TO-13.
Regards,
Ed.
Sorry meant perforating!... not drilling!
@Dan, yes! perforated an unknown/unproven section, got inundated with water infiltration which hampered further perforation in the upper area of the column. Lack of details in the RNS to me suggests this as I've never seen such an detail'less RNS after a attempted flow test... They defo buggered something up in TO14 works.
Like I said, will attempt TO13 without repeating same mistakes in TO14 and perforate historic sections and prove up flow rates. I believe plug and sealing sections can only work going from bottom to top and hence what they were attempting with TO14, unless I'm wrong and someone will correct me on that!
Will come back to TO14, plug and seal water infiltration section and then re-test upper oil sections, IMO... after TO13 successfully starts flowing oil!
Would this explain the reservoir re-activation issues?
Not sure about Ed, but my belief is they screwed up TO14 by starting the drilling too low down in the column which probably intersected a serious water section. They should've started at the top section from historic production data. I reckon this is why the testing took too long trying to control the water situation!
I reckon they'll start at the top section for TO13 to avoid repeating the water issue from TO14. Which means the testing should be faster, (he says.. lol)
Hi Ed,
There has been some suggestion that Sononagol may have screwed up on TO-14. I'm assuming this theory is referring to the testing process. In your opinion is there anything that could have happened in error that has led to this predicament. From my limited knowledge I would have thought that any mistakes would have been made during the drill rather than testing.
Thanks
Sienna,
There was significant volumes shifted yesterday after the announcement came out, even today volume is still higher than normal so there is stock available or we would be back trading much higher again. Volume could potentially remain high as the test gear is to be at TO-13 next week. Hopefully results will come much quicker from that one than TO-14, even though its got a much longer oil column.
Regards,
Ed.
I'm not sure about the seller SJ but I would bet that Richard Jennings will have a limit price on his buys, likely to be 0.35. This means the MM have to work harder to fill them and the sp wouldn't rise as much as it would with buys going through without a limit order.
There is talk on Telegram of a possible big seller again!!! But i dont get that because surely the recent rns s about placing at 0.5p and 1 director getting involved and a deal with Align/ Jennings at 0.76p i think should deter shareholders from selling. Its all very wierd. Perhaps Ed could shed some light on possible " behind the scenes deals" if he feels comfortable with that?
All true Dan yet the price keeps falling. Partly because so many small cap stocks keep delisting. Punters are fed up with being wiped up. There is no chance of this moving much higher at this time. It is very risky and has disappointing news to say the least. Those who piled in all the way down are losing fortunes. Yes the directors have bought more but that might be desperate. Show me the lows and I will take a punt. I don’t think we are there yet
Morning All,
There is one thing for certain, had this series of events occurred with any other AIM company we would have seen a heavily diluted placing to cover the cost of overruns. I'll ask the detractors on this board again, name me 10 other companies out of the 700 listed that have raised money at a 37% premium in the last 12 months. The name another 5 that have a similar agreement to the PUT. No pressure.
