anyone know if someone is building a stake in the company, or if the price movt is related to anything?
when will the shortfall applications be announced?

JPR is now building nicely. Today's SP spike suggests that the punters want to be on board. While there is still some risk about a re-entry well (from a technical perspective), the fact that this is more of an appraisal than a wildcat should help to ease the nerves.
Great to see 7c tested today. As said above, risk still exists but the longer we have no news in the early drilling, the better the punters will feel that the technology is working as hoped.
Holding JPR at 4c
The Board of Jupiter Energy Limited (ASX: JPR) wishes to advise shareholders that as at
3am Aktau time this morning (6am Western Australian time) the J-50 exploration well
being drilled on Block 31 had reached 2845m.
More hydrocarbon shows were recorded over the weekend from 2798m to 2817m (19m).
These results are encouraging and whilst the primary objective remains at 2920mRT, this
zone will also be more fully evaluated when the final log suite is run after reaching Target
Depth.
A review of the logs by JPR Technical Consultant Keith Martens between 2798m to 2817m
indicated the following:
● Intermittent tight sandstones with good oil shows
● That the first sign of the gas detectors picking up measurable propane is promising
● Triassic A- is expected at 2852m which in offset wells is a more massive version of
the sand at 2798m. It should also have good shows. This zone is a secondary
target.
It is expected that the primary Middle Triassic target will be reached during this week.
Shareholder updates will become more frequent and at times may be daily. This will ensure
shareholders are informed of progress with respect to the J-50 well's planned forward
activities. A weekly drilling update will continue to be released each Friday.
The forward activities are summarised below, together with the expected timing of each
activity:
1. Establish core point
2. Cut 18m core (2 x 9m core barrel runs) (3 days)
3. Drill 45m of reservoir (2 days)
4. Cut 18m core (3 x 9m core barrel runs) (4 days)
5. Drill to total depth of well (3 days)
6. Run electric wireline logs (2-3 days)
Based on the above schedule, there is at least 2 weeks of well site activity to be carried
out after the top of the Triassic reservoir has been reached. During this period the
primary target, which is prognosed to have an approximately 120m gross thickness and
be completely/fully oil saturated, will be cored and wireline log evaluated.
JPR Executives were on site over the weekend and operations are running smoothly.

Commenting on the news, JPR Chairman Geoff Gander said, "We are obviously very pleased
to announce what is a pivotal point in the evolution of JPR from oil explorer to oil producer.
I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the work of our entire team - from those on
site in the Mangistau, through to everyone in our Aktau, Almaty and Perth locations, for
their individual contributions to this success. It has been a real cross section of skills that
has got the Company to this point and this is just the beginning."
JPR Managing Director David Thorpe added, "Our focus is now to complete the J-50 well in
a timely manner and begin production testing. We are also working on preparing the tender
for the J-51 well and JPR will announce the location of that well in the near term but clearly
the positive result from J-50 may well influence that decision."
The Company also expects that the result with J-50 will stimulate continued interest in JPR
and is hopeful that independent research reports on JPR (including views on valuations) will
be released in the near term. As and when these reports are released, JPR will advise
shareholders of their availability.
