Today Sound have updated from Morocco and detailed a farm-out process as well as a drilling programme.Union Jack has detailed the court process for the reduction and potential for dividends.

The oil price fell after recessionary worries hit, Serica has replied to the Kistos bid and Sound lose this round of the tax dispute in Morocco. Wentworth put this RNS out when I was at the cricket but the ARA pre-emption may be overtaken by TPDC and I wold be surprised if this was over yet.

Two big up days and today oil is taking a breather, down just over a dollar at time of writing. Today sees Genel shareholders switching about a bit and Sound has a detailed and interesting update. Hurricane have a good CPR and production report.
Oil remains weak as the EU still won't ban hydrocarbons and India and China still won't stop buying them from Russia. Sound has walked away from the Angus auction but two buyers remain interested in the Saltfleetby asset. Scirocco note the AEX RNS on Tanzania where action continues ahead of drilling the crucial CH-1 well in November this year. Zephyr go from strength to strength as they receive the first monthly cheque from the Williston Basin assets bought in February but now delivering meaningful cash to spend on the Paradox. Finally SDX has spudded the MSD-20 infill well on the Meseda field, I still think that there is corporate activity behind the scenes here.
