ADI - Adelphi Energy

just over the last few months i was looking very closely at the XTO site, its purchased from ChevronTexaco, as part of their 54 bcfe aquisition..

Bcfe Billions of Cubic Feet Equivalent (Per Day; Gas Exploration)

its possible some have missed the significance of this field.. but lets just say its 6 miles north of Kunde 1 .. it produces primarily from the 10,000 - 11,000 feet edwards limestone they say..

maybe we have something like they do, maybe we dont, but even 10% of it would make you very very rich indeed!! and many were very keen to go after the leases.. the JVP's have made that very very clear, and done their level best without breaching any regulations and saying things that cannot be proven, but in all fairness i read what they say and have to agree,, its pretty impressive to have major oil companies contest your lease aquisitions!!!!

Now TCEI has been able to drill this SL1 well and the Kunde 1 well and pretty much not let too much out, and if you think XTO isnt watching , and pioneer isnt aware of whats going on, maybe think about something else, somehow when you post it visually it makes it so much clearer.. so in the middle of this massive XTO field we see something that looks very very impressive...


The site you see is 6 miles north of Sl1 and Kunde 1...

These leases in our hands have been aquired by very clever and skillful means, and they are extremely valuable IMHO, the primary reason why SL1 has not been tested was to aquire very sought after acres.

many out there doubt the conocophillips and the JVP's claim that sugarkane is very extensive. I am of the opinon if you asked Pioneer whats at meeks 1, they wouldnt care to say.. I am of the opinion that the former owners of at least 10,000 acres are perhaps wondering what the heck they did that for, and i know that not many understand what i am saying, but when you look at who owned what and where in the past, then you have no reason to bat an eyelid as to why conocophillips stayed in on the sugarkane.

seriously, if your thinking of bailing right now, DYOR extensively and absolutely be sure there is nothing in the suagrkane... because in only a matter of a days to week we will be seeing some action like never seen before imho..

The jvp's have been raising capital soley for the sugarkane, and i think the EKA sharehoders are really lamenting the fact they had to go again 67 days after raising their first batch of funds for sugarloaf, the second raisning was not for sugarloaf, but for the development of sugarkane.. where else have you seen a jvp been forced to raise capital for many many wells before testing the first well, and to be sure there is anything there?? Not one JVP has hesitated in raising capital for the undertakings about to be taken by them.. no questions asked!!


there has been a lot of money spent on this by TCEI, and conocphillips, way way more, many times more than the JVP has tipped in so far..

so think long and hard if you bailing, long and hard, the information on this sugarkane is not always clear, but the reasons for the obscureness of it has always been to achieve a end nett result of massive upside..

ADI is a high risk high reward investment,, if you going to hold and stay in, like me, then the rewards are only days away.. and if your bailing, good luck and i i hope you made some good gains..



XTO STATEMENT

South Texas Region



We acquired 54 Bcfe of proved reserves in nine South Texas counties as a part of our 2004 ChevronTexaco acquisition. The Fashing Field, located in Atascosa County, primarily produces from the Edwards Limestone reservoir at depths ranging from approximately 10,000 to 11,000 feet. We have identified 20 to 40 potential well locations in this region and plan to drill six wells in 2005.


all IMHO and DYOR

Agent M,
I like to read your posts and have been for the past 9 months or so. I have held quite a few eka and some adi for almost 12 months now and have confidence that we are definatley on a winner.

You have mentioned previously that TCEI have spent plenty over the previous years researching and sizing this play up. Whay would they let some small Australian companies come in at the home streach and take the glory with them and share in the potential windfall. Why would they farm out what they have been researching for years and had confidence in.
Just curious as to how the aus companies and EME managed to get themselves involved in what we hope will be a very large discovery?

Thanks in advance
 
Wallave

Dont ask me, ask the TCEI guys..

CP did extensive 2d's, and you can see where they hold leases.. TCEI has a massive amount of leases in the region.

I think the pogue did not find the sugarkane, then obviously kunde 1 did, with very favourable porosity, so the geology looked good. Kunde 2 was lost, Kunde 3 is going brilliant..

I dont think that until SL1 hit the sugarkane that they really understood how big it could get.. the porosity was better than elsewhere, by a longshot, and suddenly things changed at SL1, time to hold all testing and get the acreages boys!!

they are certainly quite sure in the live oak play, and the horizontal well drilled there is certainly showing signs of great things. Once the Sl1 well found the sugar, and the oil, i think they then spent all efforts on securing the acreages the 2d's and 3d's had shown up as prospective.

if TCEI was certain from day one i doubt we would have been involved, maybe its an advantage to come in as a abscure Aussie/UK jvp and not come in with CP oil major as a partner.. who knows, i certainly dont..

this way TCEi controls the shop, if with CP he would be second fiddle, so think about that!!

I know who held some 10,000 acres before, and they must have had some idea about the chalks, but i think maybe the chalks are not always attractive to major oil companies?? due to the uncertanty of the relatively new technology in horizontal drilling, its only a few decades old after all..

again, those sort of answers are best sought from the directors you are investing with.

TCEI is not a bottomless pit of cash, every oil venture has risk reward considerations, and TCEI may be extending to cover all acres and keep control but also farming out to smaller JVP's it can control and work with, and be certain that they can also fund the expansion. Maybe theres something in that?

as i say i am just guessing, and only the directors may know the full story there..
 
thanks AgentM

Testing should start next week. I just hope that there is now no delays in getting the results out. I have worries that results won't be released straight away - not that it matters in the long run. I'd just love to see a nice boost to the share price and the results on the board to get the wider market interested.

Good times approaching soon.
 
wallave, you may have noticed that one of the jvps has a real leaky boat,, sp spikes and falls before the news breaks consistantly!!

in light of that, i think there would be no chance of the jvp's being able to hold back any data, once its tested the news will be released as it happens, as promised in earlier releases.

everything is absolutely ready, and there is no real reason for any jvp's to actually report if the well is currently being tested right now or not.. i wonder if they will as up until now all news from TCEi has been held very tight..

Some buyers want in right now on ADI, and no one is prepared to sell by the looks..

theres a long history here in sugarkane,, and everything i see points to tcf type outcomes.. and oil.. and i dont even lose a minutes sleep on this one.. not many day left if we are to assume they have not started already!!

still only looking forward to one thing.. how good the flows are!!

that number of XTO wells today is producing today from porosity almost half of what SL1 has!!

TCEI knows everything there is to know about that play, and couch oil was well briefed by TCEI about it and was very excited in announcing it!!

no wonder the leases were very hard to secure..


The Austin Chalk zone from 11,925’ to 12,200’ looks very oil productive. The log results may set us up to drill over 100 wells in offsetting lease (26,000 acres) to just produce the oil from that zone. The porosity is just about double from what is normally found NE of our well location. Some folks have successfully produced with as low as 3% porosity. We have 9 to 12% porosity.


I think i will just enjoy the next few weeks..
 
ok.. guess i am a little bored with it all..

i guess its time to use the visuals again..

if i pasted this visual, can you see it yet????

how big is this sugarloaf site, and what on earth have they set up on this site!! we have 2 pipelines on the immediate acreage. powerlines on the acreage..

do yourself a favour.. if you have google earth, pan down to the site close and have a look.. then look around at other sites, even look at wessendorf with its double horizontals.. this one dwarfs it,, have a look at the xto site i posted a pic about a few days ago..

Sl1 has pretty big site dont you think? and a lot of infistructure on it

capital raising + tcf = (insert picture here)

hi agentm,

i saw your pic from a few days ago and i was thinking the the same as you , thats a lot of infrastructure for one or two wells. if you could find out if there is a gas gathing system on site it would tell us they are expecting a huge amount of gas, (THK ASX ) bought one from metro energy for 1mill becuase they were expecting so much gas.
it could be a very big clue as to how much gas they think they have.

in the early days i tried to not refer to the size of the sugarfloaf 1 site, it was very obvious from the first time i looked at the site that the ring road around the site, and the massive size of it made for very interesting viewing..

You dont see any drill site with that type of ring road unless you see plant and infrastructure with it..

i spent a good few days checking and rechecking to see if i wasnt seeing things, as the size didnt fit the well type!!

since they were buying acreages i sorta kept it off the topic of things i felt comfortable discussing on forums..

right now,, i dont give two hoots,, there is nothing about sugarkane that i dont feel is worthy of discussing..

its the same size as the xto site!!

just an observation.. dyor on this one..


as a footnote,, if you tried to talk about this in the uk forums, there is this clown there that would say i was ramping and say the SL1 site was something else.. maybe they are farming on the acreages:D or water tanks!!

i guess i am a bit sick of the usual crew there doing everything to discredit the TCEI CP sugarkane discovery.. i dont hold eme but i sure feel sorry for the holders there having to deal with the likes that they have over there..
 
Well I sold a parcel of another stock today and swapped them for adi's. It seems to me that at the very least adi is a safe haven for my capital. The sp is barely moving!

Bring on the news I say. Anyone got any idea when we will hear anything?

Agentm I have been watching sbr also - I bought a modest quantity the other day and will put them in the bottom drawer.

Eva
 
AgentM - yes it is very sad that the UK board is haunted by ROL the self obsessed tosser. The sooner we get the real news out the sooner that jerk will be stopped bringing everyones sentiment down.

Keep up the good work.

Tarzan
 
nice move eva.. mine are in the same place,, sbr is under the radar big time right now, dont sell those shares, they are tightly held..


I believe mid month is the next time we get updated about SL1...

as for mumbo jumbo kunde 1???? who knows?? today would be good for them as they are going to get absolutely wiped by the panic sweeping the exchanges..
 
With all of the topping up of ADI Stock that seems to have been going on lately i have been wondering about what percentage of ADI we all represent.

My guess is that we represent a very large proportion of the shares on issue... So at the risk of being shot down or Booo'd Off the forum anyone care to start a quick Ball Park(ish) tally?

I am happy to kick things off... I can account for approx. 2.7 million shares in my circle.
 
Pioneer going hard at it in the Pawnee field.

Pioneer quarterly report 9 Aug 2007

“In the Pawnee field in South Texas, the Company is continuing its new fracture stimulation procedures on the existing wells. The results to date have shown increased production rates and the Company believes the procedure is increasing the recoverable reserves from the wells.

In the Edwards Trend, the Company also continues its shooting and interpretation of approximately 900 square miles of 3-D seismic data over its 2006 discoveries. The seismic data will allow the Company to more accurately locate and orient the horizontal wells for optimal results.

Onshore Gulf Coast area.The Company expects to drill approximately 45 wells (including wells on two to three new prospects) in the Edwards Trend during 2007. The Company continues to add the necessary infrastructure, primarily gas treating capacity and pipeline systems, related to its discoveries and development activity in the trend.”

I put cash on both EME and ADI mainly stacked in ADI's favour Wished I had put it all in ADI now. I have read loads of Agent M's posts and value your research (most prolific). The ADVFN EME board is "wreakin my buzz" as we say in Dublin full of money hungry rumour shorters . I have no doubt thought rewards will be good. Agent M keep up the good work.
 
Eme has been hammered in the last couple of weeks. Presumably this is due to the stormy weather, but why has adi not taken the same kind of hit. There has been a bit of a drop, but nothing like eme?

Any ideas gentlemen?

Eva
 
Hi AgentM,

I am considering following Eva's move and buying some sbr. But also wonder if I should not buy more adi instead. Would you see sbr as more risky than adi?:confused:

Ta.
 
vince,, i cant advise.. i like sbr, and there is a thread on it here on the ASF and HC, worth a read,

eva, cant help either,, eme is its own beast, i have seen adi go through highs and lows, and bought in constantly, and at prices way above todays also..

sp has no meaning to me currently, i am not a trader, but an investor, so ups and down mean little.. i am very suprised with the great value the share is now, but thats my own opinion. but some big buys are happening just quietly in the background,, 100,000 orders are making it through daily..

sugarkane is no small venture.. i just post my research and share it a little, but as always DYOR and take note that its all IMHO..
 
I like to diversify and not put all my money in one share no matter how good the potential. I like to have a few irons in the fire which are at varying stages in their life cycle.

Adi is now short term and no matter what the market is doing if it has what it thinks it does in the ground it will be bluesky - potential downside if it is a duster would be a 50% loss of capital imo.

Sbr is long term, but has huge potential in terms of the resource and the infrastructure. What I like about Sbr is that buyers will pay whatever it takes at these levels to get on board. Even over the last few stormy days buyers have paid in the 40s, in the 30s and then in the 40s again. A few cents does not ultimately matter to the market it would seem.

This is good in terms of putting your money away in Sbr and having a bit of confidence the share price will not head south for long - even intraday. It is not following normal buying patterns at the moment haggling over half a cent each way etc. People want this stuff and there aren't many shares available. If the market weather were better I think this one would be even harder to get.

Adi also has a very solid sp atm in the lead up to news. All imho.

Eva
