No negativity here folks, so much to come in the next few weeks, and so many stocks are oversold, this is not a buy recommendation, just a big nudge to say “LOOK” at what is coming down the track.
I am looking at PTAL, OEX, UJO and PANR, they are all geared up for news and let’s see the SP in the next month or so.
Angus Energy is on the verge of delivering gas to the UK’s main national grid network. Work continues over the weekend with the final mechanical integrity test to introduce nitrogen into the above-ground insulation pipeline systems for a continuous five-day leak and pressure test snagging list/repairs as required. The final step to going online LIVE and all eyes are on ANGS next week.

Two government sources on Friday said that Italy could declare the state-of-alert on gas next week if Russia continues its reduction of gas supplies to Rome.
The existing Italian gas emergency protocol has three stages. It starts with a state pre-alert at February’s end, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Next, it moves to a state alert and then to a condition of emergency.

A company Share Talk has flagged from the 25p days, interviewed, webinars and have got to speak with the management team on numerous occasions. Everything is pointing to a positive spud date in early/mid-July looking at the images being released by Pantheon Resources.
The Nabors 105AC drill rig is on hire to drill the Alkaid #2 well, scheduled to spud in July 2022. If successful, Pantheon will commence a long-term production test and truck and sell the produced oil to a nearby North Slope facility.
The Alkaid #2 well has three objectives (from shallowest to deepest);
i. To appraise the shallower Shelf Margin Deltaic horizon, which management believes contains a Contingent Resource of 2.6 billion barrels Oil in Place and 404 million barrels of recoverable resource;
ii. To commence a long-term production test of the primary objective Alkaid horizon, which the independent expert engineering firm Lee Keeling & Associates estimates to contain 76.5 million barrels of oil Contingent Resources (recoverable); and
iii. To evaluate the extent of the oil column within the Alkaid horizon immediately below the total depth at Alkaid #1. Alkaid #1 was terminated within the oil zone due to flooding of the Dalton Highway at the time. Based on seismic and other analytical analyses, the Company believes the Alkaid horizon’s oil zone is substantially thicker than reported to date, offering the potential for additional resource growth.
Don’t let this one slip by you, one for the watch list.

The company said they are now fully funded for the July re-frac of C-77H and we also look forward to increasing daily production rates. Plus CCS application news is expected in June/July 2022.

On a closing note, Union Jack Oil (AIM: UJO) should be on the front foot shortly, Oil revenues increased by over 1,000% during 2021. As of 23 May 2022, the Company’s cash balances and short-term receivables stand at in-excess of £7.7 million.
Expect that figure to increase with the Wressle hydrocarbon development news update due, a true cash cow for the company and its JV associates. The AGM is next week (23 June 20220) with some very important resolutions to be voted on. If shareholders want a share buyback, a dividend or both?
Not forgetting the two other stand-out plays, West Newton and Biscathorpe. The SP has gained near 100% since February this year but looking at the revenue, future plans for the company, 27.68p could be a distant memory this time next year.
