10 clicks from the gas plant, 5km long/deep direction drill from the land to under the sea, super smart stuff. Up 13% so far today.

It's one of the better Oil/Gas stocks on the asx as I have always mentioned in my spec portfolio. May be time to buy back on a re-tracement, as the worst might be over for the Oil stock plunge...

Agree, and if Ironbark-1 is a winner, expect some more.

I have BPT as a selection in the 2021 year Competition based on matters like the above, it has no debt and is making money low operating cost. The oil price I expect will continue to recover in 2021. It has an interest in drilling for new discoveries that can be plugged into existing infrastructure like the recent Enterprise-1 to Otway facilities. It has an interest in Ironbark-1 drilling currently and is very close to target depth. It is NOT my top pick though.
 
P&A for Ironbark.

NZOG Chief executive Andrew Jefferies said, “Bugger…. a very disappointing result for us all. Ironbark was a world scale prospect in a
highly prospective address, and it needed drilling. We got an answer, but it was not the one we wanted."

And Beach all washed up, tide retreating and the flotsam left stranded

Down 22% on Lower production across Cooper Basin Western Flank oil and gas assets

The announcement sounded alarming, and a bit of panic. Five-year outlook is withdrawn and Beach will no longer provide a five-year outlook in its current form. The nice little earners from the Western Flank, just drill and produce oil, are coming up short.

outch was a reliable one on my long term investor portfolio and just lost 6k in a day,
had a couple of wins on my systems and was feeling quite happy until I looked at my long term comsec portfolio...
maybe not big enough for my oil play but not that many to choose here ...

Unfortunately this announcement took market for a big surprise.
If it was not BPT, market would have punished the stock severely.
Thinking of putting my punt for may competition.
But no internet will be a challenge using my laptop.
Cheers

Moi aussi... et un peu plus que ça. The only oil n gas company I hold. everything else was/ is too capital intensive.

Western flank had been such a productive if small set of plays. Drill a hole, complete, flow when polypipe run to central collecting tank. But the fields were never huge, only a few metres of reservoir. I should have twigged when they started drilling horizontal wells.

that is the issue: too small to be able to level a good or bad well results. but we have no rel oil producer on the asx; just oil as a side of gas, and i do not want to touch gas...

You may be on a winner, or at least have some downside protection.

On the bourse:
Seven Group had Macquarie’s equities desk offering to take Beach Energy shares off frightened punters on Friday, and ended up spending about $50 million on a 1.5 per cent stake in the oil producer.

Regardless the companies are not really comparable, the PE for BPT is extremely attractive.
Anther 17 days to go, I am pretty optimistic on my tip

I took advantage of a recent lift in BPT to offload 30% of my holding yesterday at $1.37. While pundits have been pointing out the positives (driving season, lag in supply response after Covid production drop, renewed demand, etc), I took on board some counter sentiments found on the weekend:
"Those in the markets with short memories have started talking about the possibility of ‘oil at $US100 a barrel’ as prices continue to rise past $US70 a barrel mark. The upbeat forecasts ignore the grim fact that every time oil is forecast to rise to levels hard to justify, prices eventually tank – as they did in 2014 and in April of last year when the pandemic slammed them to minus $US37 a barrel for US West Texas Intermediate crude.
Click to expand...
The confident forecasts are being made because of the impact of the OPEC+ caps on production as global demand slowly recovers. But eventually demand will regain re-Covid levels and according to oil’s boosters, prices will surge. That of course ignores the rapid uptake of renewables which is destroying demand for oil and gas every day....
