Some movement in OZ today, this one up 5c just before close. Some vague talk of a take-over but unclear in what direction.

"Basker-Manta-Gummy Oil & Gas Project

17 APR 09

Reference is made to the Stock Exchange Release made on 20 February 2009 by ROC on behalf of its subsidiary, Anzon Australia Pty Limited ("AZA") in relation to a notice of a claim served on the participants in the BMG Project by BW Offshore ("BW") in the Federal Court of Australia. The notice of claim sought recovery of costs by BW relating to the termination of third party vendor contracts entered into by BW. These third party contracts related to performance of initial activities under a Letter of Intent ("LOI") between AZA and BW for supply of a floating production, storage and offloading vessel ("FPSO") for the proposed BMG Phase 2 Project.


Today, the participants in the BMG Project have jointly filed a Defence to the Statement of Claim in the Federal Court of Australia. In addition, AZA, as Operator on behalf of the BMG Joint Venture, has filed and served a Cross Claim on BW due to the reliance by the BMG Joint Venture on the supply of the FPSO pursuant to the LOI, seeking recovery of drilling related costs in a range of between US$63.4 million and US$86 million with further losses to be particularised at a later date.


Participating interests in the BMG Project are as follows:


Anzon Australia Pty Limited (Operator) ...................................40%
Beach Petroleum Limited .........................................................30%
CIECO Exploration and Production (Australia) Pty Ltd ........20%
Sojitz Energy Australia Pty Ltd ..................................................10%

Does not mean much, no major movement in Oz.

Oil down- ROC up!!!

[sclothier] 09/4/2009 16:51

Oil up-ROC down!!

[greenroyd] 08/4/2009 15:39

I thought that when oil companies drilled holes and oil came out it was generally regarded as good news. Seemingly not!

[sclothier] 08/4/2009 14:55

Stateside only reason I say that this can't be purely linked to oil prices is because it doesn't follow the same %drop as oil does. If oil drops 1% this drops 6%?? Nevertheless I was speaking to my friend who said that market makers are keeping this one down for now which leads me to believe that they are taking this onto their books at a cheap price!

[drago] 08/4/2009 10:59

they have a good history on hedging don't they? doh!

[poo bear] 08/4/2009 10:55

One would have thought their hedging would have prevented this?

[stateside] 08/4/2009 08:40

It's totally linked to the oil price surely?

[sclothier] 08/4/2009 08:38

I read that RNS to be a positive thing, how come this is down?? I doubt that a decreasing oil price is hampering this one that much??

[poo bear] 08/4/2009 07:13

Good RNS above re development and drilling at Zhoa Dong, so the Oz market kicks the legs away again.

What do they do for good news?

[poo bear] 27/3/2009 19:03

jtame - not aware of that sorry.

You could email ROC direct, they have always been very forthcoming with clarity.

[jtame] 27/3/2009 12:06

newbie to this stock.
At first glance it looks very cheap, but there is mention in the thread
of a costs case against the company and the recent takeover of Anzon
being at an unhelpful time. I haven't found much evidence of either
from the company website. Can anyone point me to relevant documents?
If there is a serious bear case, I would obviously like to hear it.
many thanks in advance

Here is a Broker Note dated March 2009



Sorry there was not another as I thought.

[chartsmart] 27/3/2009 06:18

Ive built up a decent position here over the last month, a sustained period of volume in oz and a rising oil price are helping this reverse the downtrend.

Rob thanks for your blog on AFR ill plug it here;) a good read, I picked 300k at 18p which looked stupid at 14p but now very happy and holding. closed gkp yesterday and added more AFR and here.

[poo bear] 27/3/2009 06:12

Hi QS( - I did see a recent referencve to a note, with a target and buy rec, I will try to find it, I think it is a few weeks old now.

Another 8% up overnight in Oz.

[qs9] 26/3/2009 22:44

Looks interesting based on presentation, thanks for link. Up tick in oil price if it is sustainable should make this look cheap again IMO....broker note would be good, any available?

Thanks to all

[robwoodt] 26/3/2009 07:01

thanks for your input, i'll get back into my research and thoughts are appreciated. Put a few G's in TIG for a Punt "Indictative offer at 15p" share price at under 8p, risk it might not go through with a court case.

Might have to dip my toe in here, will make sure i'm happy with the fundamentals first.
