GKP need to declare their intentions and outlook with regard to the prospect of re-opening the production of oil via the ITP.

And it shouldn't have to wait until the AGM on 19/6.

Irritating and frustrating in equal measure.

I have never accommodated WM outcomes in any analysis I assess.

Their review, whatever it suggests, makes no material difference to JH's decisions on the ground.

But he needs to make some...

GKP needs to re-start its oil production.

Now.

Love you C.

Easy C*ckeye

You're beginning to take on my tedious mantra!!

Shame on you!!!!

I think this new strategy is Genius.

Don't produce anything and increase value for shareholders anyway!

God bless Iran and Trump...

But back in the real world we need any information on when the ITP may re-open.

So AI BOTUP's response to rog's structured arguments is a series of three stupid Emojis.

Quality...let's have some more of AI BOTUP navigating his way through his troubled waters in this way.

Meanwhile, back on planet earth, us lot will continue to evaluate the quality of our investment in this share going forward.

In any event I won't be interested in AI BOTUP's view of his/her insular world or opinion.

Trump has no choice but to settle this on his terms...his legacy depends on it.

Whatever your opinion as to his style and approach.

And I, for one, approve.

This is bigger than energy...this is about conflicting ideologies and potential outcomes.

Sorry to lose you Bob.

And I kinda understand your concerns as to your investment in GKP right now.

But this time will inevitably pass and GKP will still be debt free and sit on massive reserves of oil and gas.

I suppose, when you boil it all away, the simple question is whether you think there's a real investment opportunity in this stock.

I do.

Good luck Bob.

I think we all need to take a Chill Pill.

'Force Majeure' has nothing to do with GKP's ability to produce.

In insurance terms it's to with the risk of insurance.

Which GKP have thoroughly investigated before insuring.

Relax and take the premium for not pumping a drop.

That'll inevitably change soon...God knows where the sp goes after that, but this now a serious profit performing proposition imo.

Rog,

GKP share price is only going one way and your 'patience' motif is playing out in spades.

This stock has been an investment risk since inception.

And that's the point.

Do PI's have the b*lls or the investment will?

I do.

And my investment accounts tell me regularly. I have made 'a lot' of money on this serious risk. We don't need to recover those perpetual challenges to buying in. They are well documented.

Not for everyone though.

Hard yards.

Both entities sit under the Dutch foundation Stichting Beheer Beukenrode, but Optidob B.V. is the direct parent of Bloembeek C.V.’.

I’ve tried to delve into Stichting’s finances with no results. We know it’s a Foundation and so is difficult to access. We also know it’s an investment vehicle with no visible investments.

What we do know is that Stichting has now declared its purchase of 11.4m shares in GKP and can now call an E.G.M. at any time to question management strategy.

Pure sp speculation, or something more structural going on?

Father,

How much I hope you're right.

SC

I bought sh*t loads of shares in BP on the back of rumours of a Shell inbound takeover.

@ £3.56 or so because I used different platforms.

Shell hasn't happened, yet. May not ever.

But the War has consumed oil price speculation, and some of the GKP share price resilience must be related to this.

However, it doesn't explain why investors are buying into a pumping vacuum right now.

‘2 March 2026

Gulf Keystone Petroleum Ltd. (LSE & OSE: GKP)

(“Gulf Keystone”, “GKP”, “the Group” or “the Company”)

Update on Shaikan Field operations

Gulf Keystone, a leading independent operator and producer in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (“Kurdistan”), announces that it has temporarily shut-in production operations and has taken measures to protect staff in light of the developing regional security environment. The Company’s assets have not been impacted.

The Company is closely monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as appropriate.’

At close of play on 2/3/26 GKP share price ended @ £1.95. The next night it was down to ca. £1.93.

As I write, and seven days after the shut down the s.p. is £1.97…it’s also been higher since the shut in.

So I guess I have (at least) three questions:-

1) Who’s buying the shares?;

2) Why are they buying them?;

3) What markets are participating the transactions, LSE, Oslo or both?

Nothing’s appearing on the share register which suggests the share build by whomsoever is orchestrated.

I have no answers to these questions so I throw them open to the bb participants.

But if not a drop of oil is flowing through the ITP and no indication as to when it might re-open, that is not normally a buy signal.

Maybe it’s simply an indication of pent-up demand and a belief in GKP’s future.

Am I that naive?

Love it.

I have no clue as to why this shut-in has been necessary.

While complex, Türkiye and Iran have many shared interests.

And Türkiye has viscerally and publicly condemned USA'S 'illegal action' in Iran.

Also, Iraq have developed a strong relationship with Iran since 2003.

all b*ll*cks if you ask me.

There is no chance that Iran would target the ITP for special attention, or any attention at all.

JH doesn't have any propriety rights over the Pipe.

But I bet he's massively frustrated...

Couldn't put it myself...good post.

Bob,

Stick with it and the trajectory of direction.

Because you're right.

This looks like smart management of the GKP terrain to me.

At the time of posting, the share price is £2.03.

Not exactly a disaster given that the 538,087 shares privately issued were completely oversubscribed even at a discount.

Sounds aggressive and exciting in equal order.

We’ll see on 18/2 when they launch.

JH is on manoeuvres?...

Many new questions now about GKP’s future prospectus, all of them exciting.

Love it.

‘The retail offering was multiple times oversubscribed.’

That speaks for itself and is a complete vindication of management decisions with regard to opening up GKP to future investment.

Whatever happens to the share price next week, this is great news for GKP and their exposure strategy.

Well done JH and the Board.
