Re: caution - maybe not!
PCI.L

osammyboy - there is no such thing as a certainty in exploration. However I am having difficulty in finding any dry exploration holes in the area around the PCI blocks in Kurdistan.

Of the 11 nearest structures to PCIs Dinarta and Shakrock Blocks 9 have been discoveries, 1 (Bekhme) is currently being tested and 1 (Shorish) is marked on SNMs map as a discovery but the operator OMV with 100% WI is being remarkably quiet about it. The Bekhme-1 well test results have not yet been released and we have to await confirmation that commercial hydrocarbons have been found but IMO a discovery is probable.

That would put the success rate at over 90% in this part of Kurdistan. This is quite simply, from a technical perspective, the best place to explore in the world right now.

Take a look at the SNM activity map:
http://www.shamaranpetroleum.com/i/pdf/Kurdistan_Oil_Gas_Activity.pdf


DINARTA BLOCK
To the South:
• Bekhme-1: Testing a possible discovery
• Akri-Bijeel: Discovery 2.4 Bn bbl OIP
• Sarta 1: Oil discovery, Reliance out to tender for 10,000 bbl/d EWT facilities
http://www.ril.com/downloads/pdf/eoi_2010_01_bidders.pdf

To the South West:
• Rovi Discovery: Classified by OMV as one of its two exploration successes in Kurdistan in 2010

To the West:
• Atrush: Oil Discovery
• Shaikan: Oil Field in Appraisal 10.5 Bn bbl OIP with every chance of another increase

To the North West:
• Swara Tika oil discovery 7000 bbl/d light oil from three zones, rate limited by equipment

SHAKROCK BLOCK
To the North:
• Bekhme-1: Testing a possible discovery

To the North West:
• Sarta 1: Oil discovery, Reliance out to tender for 10,000 bbl/d EWT facilities

To the West:
• Erbil Field

To the South West:
• Bina Bawi-3: OMV Oil discovery June 11(Bina Bawi-1 and 2 were drilled by a previous operator with indications there was no/minimal seismic. “Two earlier wells in the structure had failed to prove or disprove the presence of a hydrocarbon accumulation in this upper section,” Colin Higgins Advisor Well Operations OMV. Both wells believed to have suffered enormous fluid losses which OMV with the benefit of hindsight were able to better manage than the previous operator.)

• Shorish-1: OMV tested oil in the Cretaceous (ref Sterling Energy Presentation) though OMV does not include it alongside Rovi and Sarta in its list of successes

To the South:
• Taq Taq Field: "Taq Taq is probably a billion-barrel oil field.” Tony Hayward

PCI has highly prospective acreage in the best part of Kurdistan. The principal risks here are not technical but political and today saw yet another very significant step forward in that area. I would say the euphoria is more than justified.

2012/13 should be momentous for PCI as exploration proceeds in the Kurdistan acreage. They look to have played a blinder in securing this acreage.
