Because everyone else has lost interest !

..why there are no posts appearing here ?

....a couple of months ago. Tyndall Investment Management still holds 10.3 percent of the shares in issue. Tynsall is also the only institutional shareholder maintaining its holding which exceeds that of OCE, ( in effect the BOD).The persistence of Tyndall gives me great hope for the future.

That even good news about the nonop wells has no positive affect on the SP,which is the only element of importance to private investors. Only oil from the Paradox, or news directly linked to that event will give us what we need and deserve,a substantial SP rise. The rest s just window dressing.

Of the circa 8m shares traded today at least 6M are some sort of rollover or admin activity. So the proportion of shares changing hands is only about 2m. Insignificant for a company sporting 1.8B shares issued.

Are only undertaken with oil companies who have proven their worthiness by drilling successful wells.That's where ZPHR have, so far, signally failed the test. But lots of posters in their innocence, (or ignorance ), persist in peddling that line.

For a change of market sentiment ZPHR needs to produce positive , and believable , news from Paradox. Nothing else will do!

Sorry to say so, Northern Magic, but the assumptions in your last post are almost entirely without a basis in fact. The awful share price has little or nothing to do with cash constraints,and things "have taken longer" because the two Paradox wells drilled so far have had significant problems a neither has yielded any product for sale worth the mention. Also the company has been at least dilatory, ( if not completely incompetent), in preparing the infrastructure to deliver oil and gas to the market.

The nonop wells are a sideshow which adds little or nothing to the SP, and for which the shareholders paid ,in any case.

The strong impression in relation to the BOD over the past year has been that they don't really know what they're about In relation to Paradox and that they are not on friendly terms with the truth in their infrequent reporting.

We're now at a watershed point. It's: get some good, and believable news, to the market about Paradox and the related infrastructure or major shareholders will be taking a significant hiding ,(as they leave) !!

...it's not the sole institutional shareholder selling some. We'll soon know!

About time CH and co got their collective fingers out and came up with some positive,(and reliable ) ,news.

CH is learning fast how to look compliant but do nothing. "News to the market asap" in CH speak means "whenever it suits me" . And "16-2 early production possibility, and still in early discussion with the Team", are just meaningless platitudes. And of course he's plleased with the nonops. But the nonops do sweet FA for the share price. OR haven't you noticed!?

Good and positive news NOW and not before the end of the year is what is perilously demanded!

The bod is the culprit. They need to get some good news flow about oil out of Pardox. That's the answer!!

Why there's so much apparently positive commentary on this board . The SP has fallen by 70% in nine months and,as yet, with no sign of any recovery!

To understand all the polemic about the performance and the sp of this share. Fact is the sp was about 18p nine months ago an its 6.25 p today. A 65% fall !

That's all it is. Nothing seems to happen apart from the next raise to pay the salaries.

The market has no faith whatsoever in anything CH says. Unfortunately his words don't match his actions.Every time he makes a presentation the SP falls.

The only circumstances which will reverse the downward trend are a farmin or a major increase in production from the own drilled wells. The nonop wells will do nothing to enliven the SP.

2.5m shares traded today and we have seen a further fall of 7% in the SP.

Fact is that there are very few punters as evidenced by the low number of contributors to this board most of whom are probably SIPP traders who think they can wait a couple of years while their pensions mature. Goood luck to them!!

Meanwhile the BOD here need to employ a publicity outfit to be given some advice on how to manage the visible profile of the company which is currently in tatters.

550,000 boepd.

It shows that the non op wells have little or no affect on the SP,(ie the market). What is needed is substantive progress on the own drilled (Paradox) wells. Nothing else will fill the bill.

Also note Adon 30 reference the monetary benefit of the 550m barrels!

To see whether Zephyr award the contract for the redrill of 36-2 to the company who drilled the failed well!!

Both tenable points of view but from different perspectives!

IOG is not UOG.

A more positive RNS with suggestions about participation from other companies as well as definite progress related to Paradox in general. I'd guess that the unenthusiastic posters here have negligible investments in ZPHR. Let's see what happens to the SP if CH does a presentation now, which is quite likely I imagine ,because he has a lot to explain. Now may well be a good time to invest.
