Gulf starts at Sheikh Adi-2 25/05/2012
Iraq-focused oil explorer Gulf Keystone Petroleum (GKP) has begun drilling at the Sheikh Adi-2 well in the Sheikh Adi block.
Range Resources (RRL) says proven oil reserves in its Trinidad project have risen 490 per cent to 15.4 million barrels.
The AIM-quoted company, based in Western Australia and steered by entrepreneurial executive director Peter Landau, plans to double production there to 1,400 barrels a day in the short term, with a target of 4,000 barrels a day in the next two to three years.
According to Range, this reserve increase follows recent engineering studies of secondary recovery potential in the company's Beach Marcelle Block. With a wide geographical spread, Range is also engaged in projects in Somalia's Puntland semi-autonomous region, in the former Soviet republic of Georgia and in Texas, where the company reports encouraging developments at its North Chapman Ranch project and elsewhere.
Range shares, which have traded between 23.5p and 5.97p over the past year, now change hands at 9.35p, up 0.54p this morning, valuing the company at £169 million. They have speculative recovery potential.
