Investors Chronicle: Smaller Company Annual Reports: Desire Petroleum - Oil And Gas Explorer
Investors Chronicle, June 16

On the penultimate day of May, Desire's share price jumped 42 per cent to 32p and the Stock Exchange demanded answers. An internal e-mail between two executives at Doreal Energy (a partner in its Portuguese gas acreage) had leaked onto a bulletin board. In fact, the e-mail said little other than drilling at Aljubarrota-3, north of Lisbon, had reached 2,300m. That well will test the commercial significance of the previous well 3km away.

Desire has a quarter interest in the consortium. Desire's other main interest is 100 per cent control of four licences north of the Falklands. No oil was found in blocks there in 1998 but, if oil prices stay high, Desire hopes to post farm out brochures later this year.
