EKA - Eureka Energy

So Discuss. what is this new area like?

why wasnt it snapped up by someone else earlier? Will hilcorp be on board doing the drilling?

what are others thoughts. i was going to jump in on the EKA ride this morning..

I Have been trying to find Fayette County on the map.. but come up with nothing!

This might help. Fayette County is half way between San Antonio and Houston on E/W Interstate 10 and N/S Highway 77.

I finally bought EKA this morning, i like what i see they have done with the extra acerage in terms of a TO value which is the reason i bought in.

USD 821,500 in cash and 900,000 new EKA shares

761 Acres @75% NRI. = 570.5 Net Acres

900,000 shares at say 27c = 243,000

821500+243000=$1064500

1064500/570.5 = $1865 per net acre.

At $15M NPV per well say 50 acre spacing it can provide 11 wells $165M

Using a 20% value on future NPV , they just added something like from $16 to$32M to the value of a TO of EKA, for a little over $1M dollars. = 10c - 20c per share for a TO.

Wonder who leaked it to the market yesterday?

Smart move imo.

There's little that can be better than a stock that closes on its 52-week high on a day when the rest of the market is hammered. :)

What makes it even better is the fact that we could buy 1 for 6 held at only 17c. It weathered the dilution.:)

I havent traded my 1 for 6 as yet...just waiting to see what happens in the next few weeks in regards to a possible takeover ...for now I hold

seems like everyones holding for an upgrade on the back of the AUT reserves report and all the TO speculation. Not many on the sell side.

EKA has always been a tightly held stock. I have never been able to trade very big orders without sending the price upwards, even in the tough times. It has broken away from being tied too closely to AUT.
 
Entitlements Issue release to the ASX says that 3,607,811 shares were not taken up at 17c.

Given the close today at 32c, I can only marvel at the idiocy of some shareholders. Nice windfall for Bell Potter, the underwriters.
 
Too right! I would have had the lot if they were on offer at 0.17. It's amazing that this opportunity was passed up, especially given what transpired with ADI.

Good return for EKA today, but I think its almost made its top for now (IMHO about 25% of AUT'S SP)
AUT could make $1.10 tomorrow which would make EKA at about .28 cents.
I also think that the possibility of a takeover is worth a few extra cents, so an SP of .31 cents maximum this week.
A top today of .28 cents is a level that we haven't seen since 19th November 2007.
Good luck to all EKA holders
I hold EKA
DYOR

ALMOST A PERFECT PREDICTION :D
Good luck to all EKA holders :D
 
I see problems here. EKA is now in a trading halt until Friday. This is more than the announcement of a resource upgrade. For the upgrade AUT only went into a preopen for 20 minutes. It is more than just that announcement.

I smell a takeover. I say smell because I suggest it will stink. We were robbed with the opportunistic takeover of ADI and it is now possible that it will happen to EKA. I'd like to think it is a share swap with AUT as that would be a sweet smelling one. A buyout by AWE is the one I worry about.

Friday cant come soon enough!:mad:

My guess is it won't be a takeover announcement Nioka so you can rest easy :D ...... They have to finalise the option to take on the new lease by friday, so my guess is they will combine the two announcements ......

I assume they can't put an estimate on the potential productivety of the new lease just yet, but maybe they will try and give a ballpark on it, which may be why they need an extra couple of days. If it produces anything like the Sugarloaf lease, it would certainly add some weight to the current SP, especially when we consider how AUT is "behaving".
Cheers.

awe have put out an ann, re aut's reserve estimate (incl sugarkane) and stated they have only received the draft report and that they are awaiting the final report, expected shortly, maybe the same for eka

AWE reserve report for Sugarloaf AMI

AWE Limited (“AWE”), via its subsidiary Adelphi Energy Limited, refers to an announcement by Aurora Oil & Gas (“AUT”) this morning in respect of the receipt of an independent Sugarkane reserves certification from Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc (“NSAI”).

AWE advises that it has received a draft reserve report only from NSAI in respect of its Sugarloaf AMI reserves. On receipt of the final report which is expected shortly, AWE will release further details.
 
Slightly. They've also announced that they expect income from the initial wells to start last quarter this calendar year, rather than 1st Q 2011. :)

Its always been Q4 this year. Kowalick was a hicup, that they thought would be a delay, but then along came the huge flows of Morgan, Rancho and now the turnbulls, everything is back firmly on track for cash in Q4.:D

Eka should get a very good kick out of this. it derisks the decision for many and blind freddy can see they are more then likely imo to significantly increase those 1P reserves over time.
 
Huge amount of sellers jumped out of the woodwork this morning.. Why someone would dump $100k in one hit at 30c is beyond me unless they want to push it down or alternatively have been pushing it up to this point..
Anyway with cash flow soon on the way this looks very promising and with the lowerst market cap of the asx players in this region still looks good as a potential take over target..
 
What the deuce is going on. Does anyone have a comparison of the expected reserves compared to the actuals in this latest report? I could imagine it is much lower than first anticipated, hence the dumping?!
