should be due for an update anyday now a update on bhp progress would certainly be useful as well
I don't think we can expect any SP action until we get some definite statement on Galoc phase 2 or a Philippines farm in. Cashflow does underpin the SP but all the excitement is in the Philippines and if BHP signs up for Drill and Thrill in SC51 there is a 50% rise to 15 cents on the cards.
The prospect of finding an elephant would be too good for most punters to resist:D
15 cents i would say significantly more than that they have to back pay a portion of costs i believe in the order of + A$30 million for work undertaken in SC 55 . Though would be great to hear an update on how things are progressing both galoc and other service contracts. A turkey update would certaily be useful as well
still a good buy at these prices ive topped up again today lets hope for a positive announcement on any front in the short term
In the an we should get a reserve update on both galoc and turkey and lets hope a update on sc 51 or 55.
Galoc phase 2 FID due by the end of the month

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE), Philodrill Corp., a member of the GPC consortium, said “a final investment decision is expected to be made in September 2010.”
will be interesting to see what they are tageting in phase #2 and the likely cost of such work.
Things start to be heating up from bhp latest [presentation
http://www.bhpbilliton.com/bbContent...Conference.pdf
page 44 of note
It shows sc 55 as BHP operated and
Delivering basin, significant potential
(50 billion boe discovered to date)
Material position captured – majority of
acreage BHP Billiton operated
Multiple countries (Vietnam, Malaysia
and Philippines) but same rocks
Ramping up drilling activity in CY2011
with several wells planned for
Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam
Significant seismic program scheduled
for the Philippines in preparation for
FY2012 drilling
Planning underway for wells in
Vietnam and Brunei
looks as though the bhp decision may be closer than we all thought
certainly looks interesting lets hope we dont have to read between the lines for too long
Very interesting read over 100 pages worth in the ann report. Detailed analysis of all the service contracts and turkey. They seem to have promising results from the early siesmic interpretation in sc 55.

has there been any indication given when BHP will make a decision on whether or not to drill in SC55? i bought in to this stock just before the rise that came with their deal to undertake the seismic (and BHP's right to drill if they so choose). the rise in the sp then gives some indication, in my view, of what to expect if BHP do go ahead with a drill. i'm thinking of sinking a few more dollars into OEL, but i'm not sure how much time i have to make that call. do we have even a ball park idea when a decision is due? thanks so much, guys.

ps. i was very encouraged by the BHP presentation. the fact that they are prepared to 'own' SC55 bodes well, in my view.

end of the year early next year at latest. The ann report indicated the siesmic that otto shot ( over hawkeye before bhp paid for a larger siesmic) in sc 55 was showing promising results from the early siesmic interpretation in sc 55. The sp seems to be going nowhare fast but a farm in the sp would in my opinion more than double from its current level.
cheers, boysy, is that your estimate (based on the fact that you know this stock backwards) or has a timeframe been offered at some point?
