WALL STREET

Wall Street fell Friday after the government's much-anticipated employment report showed weaker-than-expected job growth and a rise in the unemployment rate. The Nasdaq composite index, also pummeled by a downgrade of Intel Corp., skidded more than 3.5 percent, while the Dow Jones industrials fell almost 2.0 percent.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by more than 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.65 billion shares, compared with 1.32 billion traded Thursday.

Bond prices rose as investors sought the safety of government-backed debt after the employment reading. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3.87 percent from 3.89 percent late Thursday.

Copper eased in New York, snapping a two-day rally, after a report showed hiring in the U.S. slowed more than forecast last month, stoking concern that economic growth will slump.

Most other commodities also eased on the US employment report.

Galoc 3 & 4 - Weekly Drilling Update 26 December 2007 to 1 January 2008

Nido Petroleum Ltd (Nido) is pleased to provide this weekly update on the development of the Galoc oil field, offshore Palawan Basin, The Philippines.

The Galoc wells are being drilled using a ‘batch' programme. The top hole sections for both development wells have now been drilled, and the pilot hole and Galoc 4 have also been completed.

Drilling of the Galoc 3 production well is ongoing. As with Galoc 4, this new well will have a 1600 metre horizontal section to maximise intersection of the oil column.

Galoc 3
During the past week the 9.625 inch casing was run in hole and cemented in place. Drilling of the 8.5 inch horizontal production section through the reservoir is underway and has reached a total depth of 3,460 metres along hole.

Galoc 4
As per the programme, Galoc 4 horizontal production well has been drilled to total depth and suspended following liner installation. The well will be completed and flow tested in batch mode along with Galoc 3 in January 2008.

Forward Plan
Following casing of the current hole section, the 8.5 inch horizontal production section will be drilled 1600m through the reservoir. A 5.5 inch predrilled liner will then be run, production tubing and a subsea tree installed and both Galoc 3 and 4 will then be flow tested. - Web Site

EXPLORATION DRILLING COMMENCES, CHINA
WEI 6-12W-1 WELL SPUDS

The operator of the Block 22/12 Beibu Gulf, China, Roc Oil, announced today the start of a 3 to 4 well programme to test prospects close to the Wei 6-12S-1 oil discovery made in May of 2006. The announcement stated:

At 0500 hrs (local time) on 1 January 2008 the Premium Murmanskaya jack-up rig commenced drilling the Wei 6-12W-1 well on the Wei 6-12 West Prospect, a stratigraphic-structural feature approximately 2.5 kilometres northwest of the Wei 6-12S-1 oil discovery which the Joint venture made in 2006.

The well, which is in 30 m of water, is expected to reach Total Depth of approximately 2,425 metres later this month. The commencement of the drilling programme was delayed by approximately two weeks because of rig equipment malfunctions which have now been rectified.

As of 0600 hrs (local time) on 2 January 2007 the current operation was drilling ahead in 17.5 inch hole at 560 metres. - Web Site

INCREMENTAL PETROLEUM

SELMO USR DRILLING UPDATE

Incremental Petroleum is pleased to announce an update on its horizontal drilling campaign in its wholly owned Selmo oilfield in SE Turkey.

Selmo 36:
The second Ultra Short Radius well in the programme has been drilled successfully into the Upper Dolomite reservoir (MSD) with oil shows. A 460' lateral was drilled in 23 days against a budgeted 18 due to a motor twist-off.
The well was landed within two feet of the intended target. The well has been swabbed to clean up drilling fluids and the present operation is preparing the well for trial production before acidisation. The Upper Dolomite (MSD) reservoir usually required acidisation to produce significant oil volumes, and this operation will be performed in the coming weeks once equipment is available.

The rig is now on the next of four wells in the programme, Selmo 41. Reports will be issued when pertinent data becomes available. This well requires an additional string of casing to be run and is programmed for 32 days. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street closed narrowly mixed Thursday as investors traded cautiously ahead of the Labor Department's Friday reading on December employment.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by about 8 to 7 on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to 3.30 billion shares, down modestly from 3.32 billion Wednesday.

Crude oil eased after an Energy Department report showed that U.S. gasoline and diesel inventories rose as refineries increased operating rates.

Copper jumped more than 4 percent, following gains in gold and crude oil, as investors bought commodities as a hedge against inflation.

Gold approached a record high on speculation rising commodity costs and a weakening dollar will boost demand for an inflation hedge. Silver also rose.

HERALD ANNOUNCES BOOST FOR DAIRI PROJECT

Herald Resources Limited is pleased to announce a significant boost to its Dairi zinc/lead project in Sumatra with positive metallurgical testing of ore from the Lae Jehe deposit.

Lae Jehe has a resource of 6.5 million tonnes at 11% zinc and 6% lead and is the most advanced prospect to provide future mill feed for Dairi following its initial 7 year mine life.

Dairi's feasibility study is based solely on the Anjing Hitam deposit, which has reserves of 6.5 million tonnes grading 14% zinc and 9% lead.

The latest metallurgical test work on Lae Jehe indicates similar zinc and lead recoveries at the same stage of the process to those achievable at Anjing Hitam.

The results are very encouraging in terms of the confirming Herald's belief that Lae Jehe could provide mill feed that would take the Dairi project significantly beyond its initial planned mine life of 7 years.

As previously advised, a pre-feasibility program is being undertaken on Lae Jehe, initially comprising geotechnical/mining studies and metallurgical testwork.

Results from testwork on material from one Lae Jehe drill hole have been very encouraging.

The sample intentionally included 19% dilution with hanging wall and footwall material, and was subjected to laboratory batch flotation testing to simulate the circuit of the concentrator for the Anjing Hitam ore.

The results currently available indicate that recoveries of lead and zinc to their respective rougher concentrates are similar to those achieved to the same stage of the process for the Anjing Hitam ore, though at a lower lead grade for the rougher concentrate..... - Web Site

HIGH GRADE INTERSECTIONS AT CONQUEST PROSPECT

Matrix Metals Limited ("Matrix") is pleased to advise that Deep Yellow Limited ( "DYL ") has today announced that it has "received highly encouraging assay results from an initial and limited RC percussion drill programme on its Conquest Prospect, 75 km north of Mt Isa, Queensland. "

The Conquest Prospect is located on EPM14916 which is subject to the NW Queensland JV with Matrix Metals Ltd. This ground is owned 100% by Matrix and Deep Yellow is currently farming into the ground and has the opportunity to acquire on 80% ownership of the Uranium rights.

The details of the announcement are as follows:

The Directors of Deep Yellow (DYL) are pleased to announce the receipt of highly encouraging assay results from an initial and limited RC percussion drill programme on its Conquest Prospect, 75 km north of Mt Isa, Queensland.

The drill programme totalling 7 holes for 750 m was carried out on 7 sections over 450 m strike of the 1.6 km discontinuous radiometric anomaly. Previous exploration in the prospect area was carried out by Mineral Deposits Limited and Agip Nucleare (Agip) in the 1970s. Agip drilled 7 holes for 553 m however selective assaying of drill core by Agip returned only narrow intercepts the best being 4 m at 1,210 ppm U3O8.

The significant wide intercepts at Conquest returned by DYL comprise:

The entire intercept bulks out to 66 m at 373 ppm U3O8 from 22 m and includes 4 m at 1,863 ppm U3O8 from 78 m. The drilling undercuts a surface outcrop that assayed 2,200 ppm U3O8 which was collected during DYL's regional helicopter supported sampling and mapping programme (ASX 5 October 2007)...... - Web Site

General Meeting 21 December 2007 - Further Clarification

Shareholders were advised in a previous announcement that the General Meeting (GM) held on December 21st 2007 had been adjourned to January 11th 2008 at 10.30 am. Shareholders at the GM voted to adjourn the meeting to allow further information concerning Resolution 2 to be compiled and announced.

This announcement seeks to clarify the situation for the benefit of Shareholders.

Resolution 2 deals with the approval of a proposed Share issue to Martin Place Securities Staff Super Fund (MPSS) at a 50% discount to the trade volume weighted average of the Share price as quoted on the ASX during the 25 trading days leading up to the GM. Approval was sought on the basis that the issue of shares at a discount may constitute the provision of financial assistance to acquire those shares.

Prior to the GM the Company received further advice that Resolution 2 may be unnecessary for 2 reasons. One, there did not appear to be provision of financial assistance to MPSS by the issue of the Loan Shares at a discount. Secondly, even if there was provision of financial assistance to MPSS to acquire the Loan Shares it was probably not materially prejudicial to the Company, its creditors or Shareholders. If either view is correct then the issue of the Loan Shares at a discount is permitted under the Corporations Act without requiring further approval from the Shareholders....... - Web Site

TUI ENDS YEAR WITH RECORD MONTH

New Zealand Oil and Gas Limited (NZOG) reports that the Tui Area Oil Fields achieved a record month of production in December.

NZOG holds a 12.5% interest in Tui, which is situated 60 km off the Taranaki coast.

Production from Tui began on 30 July 2007. By 31 December 2007, approximately 6.4 million barrels of oil had been produced, at an average rate of production of more than 41,000 barrels a day.

In November, technical modifications to the production facility were completed, allowing daily production rates to increase. As a result a monthly production record of approximately 1.5 million barrels was achieved in December; an average of over 48,000 barrels a day.

Tui oil is a light sweet crude that is generally sold against the regional Tapis benchmark crude, with differentials for freight and quality. During December the Tapis benchmark averaged around US$95 a barrel.

The oil is shipped to refineries on the east coast of Australia or in south-east Asia. The tanker Ocean Pluto is today being loaded with 350,000 barrels.

In November 2007 proved and probable (2P) reserves in the Tui Area Oil Fields were upgraded by the operator to 41.7 million barrels, almost 50% higher than the estimated reserves of 27.9 million barrels on which the project was sanctioned.- Web Site

Kupe Development Wells Drilling Disclosure

New Zealand Oil and Gas Ltd advises that at 14:00 hours (NZ time) on 02 January, the 17 inch hole section of the Kupe South 6 (KS-6) well had reached the planned total depth of 2,000 metres MDRT (measured depth from rotary table).

A wiper trip is currently underway to condition the hole prior to running and cementing the 13- 3/8 inch casing. Upon completion, the 17 inch hole sections of the KS-7 and KS-8 wells will be drilled and cased prior to commencement of the subsequent 12-1/4 inch sections.

Drilling of the Kupe development wells began at 22:40 hours on 19 December 2007. The 22 inch top hole sections of all three development wells have been completed to the following depths: KS-6 560m MDRT, KS-7 566m MDRT, KS-8 568m MDRT.

Each of the three wells will be drilled by the Ensco-107 jack-up rig to a vertical depth of approximately 3,400 metres......- Web Site

SAMSON OIL & GAS

SAMSON OIL & GAS LIMITED TO STIMULATE THE HARSTAD #1-15

Harstad #1-15H
The Operator of the Harstad #1-15H well has proposed, and Samson has approved, a proposal to stimulate this well where Samson has a 34.5% working interest.

The well is currently producing around 60 BOPD from a 4,800 foot horizontal well bore. The well is not cased over the productive section and is producing from a dolomitic limestone which is conducive to being stimulated with acid. Following a significant level of engineering design effort, the proposed stimulation is a sophisticated 5 stage treatment using a hydrochloric acid stimulation fluid which will be pumped to create the first fracture, this will be followed by a diverting agent which is designed to divert the subsequent acid stage to create a second and then subsequent fractures along the horizontal well bore. The diverting agent is temperature sensitive and after 24 hours breaks down to a fluid which is then flowed back.

The engineering analysis of the expected resulting post stimulation flow rate suggests a range of results from 80 BOPD to 600 BOPD depending on the number of fractures successfully created.

The timing of field operations is expected to be in the first week of February 2008. - Web Site


TAP OIL

BASS BASIN LABATT 3D SEISMIC SURVEY ACQUISITION NOW COMPLETE

Tap Oil Limited ("Tap") advises that the Labatt 3D Marine Seismic Survey, within Bass Basin permit T/47P, was completed on 1 January 2008. A total of 524.6 square kilometres of full-fold prime 3D data were acquired.

Tap Comment

The primary aim of the Labatt 3D Seismic Survey is to mature leads in the vicinity of the Cormorant-1 well (which encountered oil in 1970) into drillable prospects. Several leads have been identified from existing 2D seismic data in this area, approximately 45 km northwest of the Yolla oil and gas field in the adjoining permit.

Final seismic volumes from the survey will be available for interpretation/analysis in the second quarter of 2008 and a rig has already been secured for two wells to be drilled on the defined prospects early in 2009.

Tap is very pleased to be rapidly progressing the work programme of T/47P, which was only awarded in March 2007. - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street skidded lower Wednesday after a weaker-than-expected reading on the manufacturing sector and a spike in oil prices to $100 a barrel triggered concerns of a further slowdown in the overall economy.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 4 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 3.32 billion shares, up from 2.38 billion on Monday.

The rise in oil follows violence in the oil-producing nation of Nigeria, concerns about weather-related production halts in Mexico and speculation that inventory figures will show drops in levels of U.S. supplies.

Gold futures rose, extending a seven- year rally to the highest price since 1980, as a weakening dollar and higher energy costs boosted demand for a hedge against inflation. Silver also gained.

ROC OIL

Drilling Update: Multi-Well Exploration/Appraisal Drilling Programme Commences, Offshore China

Roc Oil (China) Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of ROC, is pleased to announce the commencement of a multi-well exploration/appraisal drilling programme in Block 22/12, Beibu Gulf, Offshore China.

At 0500 hrs (local time) on 1 January 2008 the Premium "Murmanskaya" jack-up rig commenced drilling the Wei 6-12W-1 well on the Wei 6-12 West Prospect, a stratigraphic-structural feature approximately 2.5 kilometres northwest of the Wei 6-12S-1 oil discovery which the Joint venture made in 2006.


The well, which is in 30 m of water, is expected to reach Total Depth of approximately 2,425 metres later this month. The commencement of the drilling programme was delayed by approximately two weeks because of rig equipment malfunctions which have now been rectified.

As of 0600 hrs (local time) on 2 January 2007 the current operation was drilling ahead in 17½ inch hole at 560 metres.

The second well in the programme will test the Wei 6-12 East Prospect, a structural-stratigraphic feature 1.7 kilometres east of the Wei 6-12S-1 oil discovery.

The third well in the programme will be Wei 12-2-2 which will appraise a structure in the southern part of the Block which tested oil in 1993.

There is a potential for a fourth well in the form of a sidetrack/step-out if one of the first three wells makes a discovery which requires immediate appraisal. All of the wells will be operated by ROC using the Premium "Murmanskaya" jack-up drilling rig. The entire drilling programme is expected to be completed by the end of 1Q 2008. - Web Site

DEEP YELLOW

HIGH GRADE INTERSECTIONS AT CONQUEST PROSPECT

The Directors of Deep Yellow (DYL) are pleased to announce the receipt of highly encouraging assay results from an initial and limited RC percussion drill programme on its Conquest Prospect, 75 km north of Mt Isa, Queensland.

The drill programme totalling 7 holes for 750 m was carried out on 7 sections over 450 m strike of the 1.6 km discontinuous radiometric anomaly. Previous exploration in the prospect area was carried out by Mineral Deposits Limited and Agip Nucleare (Agip) in the 1970s. Agip drilled 7 holes for 553 m however selective assaying of drill core by Agip returned only narrow intercepts the best being 4 m at 1,210 ppm U3O8.

The significant wide intercepts at Conquest returned by DYL are given below and in Table 1:

The entire intercept bulks out to 66 m at 373 ppm U3O8 from 22 m and includes 4 m at 1,863 ppm U3O8 from 78 m. The drilling undercuts a surface outcrop that assayed 2,200 ppm U3O8 which was collected during DYL 's regional helicopter supported sampling and mapping programme (ASX 5 October 2007). - Web Site

EXPLORATION DRILLING PROGRAM - BLOCK 22/12, BEIBU GULF, OFFSHORE CHINA (HZN: 30%)

Horizon Oil advises the commencement of a planned four well exploration drilling program in Block 22/12, Beibu Gulf, offshore China.

At 0500 hrs (local time) on 1 January 2008, the Premium Murmanskaya jack-up rig commenced drilling the Wei 6-12W-1 well on the Wei 6-12 West Prospect, a stratigraphic-structural trap approximately 2.5 km to the northwest of the Wei 6-12S-1 oil discovery which the joint venture made in 2006. Strong amplitude anomalies have been mapped in a Weizhou unit over the prospect area analogous to those seen in adjacent stratigraphic intervals at Wei 6-12S and Wei 6-12-1 that have proven to be associated with oil-bearing sands. The proposed Wei 6-12W-1 well location will penetrate the region of best anomalous seismic amplitude.

The well, which is in 30 m of water, is expected to reach total depth of approximately 2,425 m later this month. The commencement of the drilling program was delayed by approximately two weeks because of rig equipment malfunctions which have now been rectified.

As of 0600 hrs (local time) on 2 January 2008 the current operation was drilling ahead in 17½ inch hole at 560 m..... - Web Site

WALL STREET

Wall Street ended a tumultuous year with another steep loss Monday as investors glumly anticipated that 2008 would bring more of the uncertainty and turbulence of 2007.

Declining issues narrowly outnumbered advancers on the New York Stock Exchange. Consolidated volume came to a light 2.38 billion shares, up slightly from 2.31 billion Friday.

However, thanks to a big first-half advance, the Dow managed to finish 2007 with a respectable increase of 6.43 percent. The Dow's annual gain came even after it posted its worst fourth-quarter drop in 20 years.

The S&P 500 index fell 10.13, or 0.69 percent, to 1,468.36, to end 2007 with a gain of 3.53 percent.

The Nasdaq finished the year with a 9.81 percent gain.

Copper fell, capping the smallest annual gain since 2001, on renewed speculation the worst U.S. housing recession in 16 years will continue to slash demand for the metal used in pipes and wires. The metal has dropped 20 percent since reaching an 11-month high in May.

Gold fell for the first time in six sessions after the dollar rebounded against the euro.
