Just getting up to speed on this stock but here's what I know so far: 

  • Joined AIM in March 2007. US-focused hydrocarbon production and development company. It has interests in seven projects in the US, all of which are operated by Running Foxes Petroleum, its co-shareholder in each project.
  • Of the seven projects in which it holds significant interests ranging from 50% to 80%, four are now in production, Jolly Ranch, Devon Oilfield, Cisco Springs and Centurion. The company is also hoping that some of its Buchanan Group projects will soon also reach production status.
  • Nighthawk raised £14 million in January 08 to fund development drilling on the Jolly Ranch oil project in Colorado. Jolly Ranch is apparently home to multiple stacked targets that could hold more than 100 million barrels of oil. The acreage is said to be productive as it is home to the shut-in Bolero and Craig Ranch oilfields, which were abandoned by previous operators BHP and Anshultz during the oil price slump of the 1990s.
  • Its Centurion project in Kansas has only recently started production. Nighthawk holds a 50% interest in the15,000 acre project. In its operational update in November, the company said its Franklin 13-6 well had been placed on production at a restrained rate of 80 barrels of oil per day after encountering excellent live oil shows.

What's everyone reckon? Could this be the making of the Colorado Hillbillies?
