"Pursuant to the private placement of units discussed in note 11 (b), the Corporation issued
214,285,000 common share purchase warrants. The warrants are exercisable immediately
at a price of CDN $0.35 per share until December 3, 2012."

Der größte Teil der o/s. ist in festen Händen. Die share structure lässt zu wünschen übrig,
würde ich hier aber als zweitrangig betrachten.
Alleine 125Mio shares hält die private Firma gegenwärtig, mehr als 80Mio shares hält das Mngm + 30Mio Opt @0.49(!)
Der share Preis liegt auch gegenwärtig wieder auf dem PP-Niveau, ist von 0.60 CAD zurückgekommen.

Diesen Monat sollten sie ja bereits in Produktion gegangen sein, newsline sollte demnach ebenfalls schon bald auf Hochtouren laufen.

Die prognostizierte durchschn. Net Margin von 10 USD per bbl bei einem WTI-Preis von 50 USD sind bereits eine Hausnummer!
Bei einem Ölpreis über 70 USD kann hier umgehend eine neue cash cow entstehen..

On December 21, 2009, the Company closed the Acquisition of Petrodorado Ltd. The aggregate purchase
price was $25 million which was satisfied by the issuance to the shareholders of Petrodorado Ltd. of
approximately 125,000,000 common shares of the Company. The gross proceeds of $75 million raised in
connection with the Financing closed on December 3, 2009 and were released from escrow upon the
closing of the Acquisition on December 21, 2009.


Mir gefallen insbesondere die Leute, welche im Board und Mngm vertreten sind und
die JV-Partner. Hier kann man mE sehr gute Verbindungen erkennen, das Erfolgsteam
um BNK bereitet hier imho einen neuen Deal vor.

Ein Großteil der structure bilden die 215 Mio warrants, welche ausgelöst werden,
wenn sich der Aktienkurs 20 Tage über der 0.90 CAD-Marke hält.
Das wäre ja ein weiterer Punkt, hier seitens des Mngm die Story zu pushen.


Der große JV-Partner Pacific Rubiales (PRE) auf den Haupt-Projekten ist eine weitere Erfolgsstory.

..PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS PROPERTIES
Colombia

Moriche Block
In January 2010, Petrodorado signed a definitive agreement with Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp. (“PRE”)
for an undivided 49.5% working interest in the Mauritia East Prospect in the Moriche Block. The
Moriche Block consists of approximately 6,229 hectares (approximately 15,392 acres) and is located
Llanos basin of Colombia. In exchange for this working interest, Petrodorado committed to fund 100% of
the total investment for the current exploratory phase for the block, equal to US$5.53 million.
In February 2010, Petrodorado and PRE successfully completed a discovery well ME-1 as a Mirador
producer on the Moriche block. The ME-1 well tested at a peak rate of 693 bopd of 14 degree API oil
and is expected to be tied in and on production in May 2010. The drilling of additional production wells
in the same structure is being planned by the Company and PRE utilizing data from the ME-1 discovery
well
. These additional wells are expected to be drilled during the second quarter of 2010.

Buganviles Block
Petrodorado has a 49.5% working interest in the Buganviles Block located in the upper Magdalena basin
of Colombia obtained through two separate transactions. The Buganviles Block consists of approximately
22,128 hectares (approximately 54,679 acres) and is located in the upper Magdalena basin of Colombia.
In February 2010, Petrodorado obtained a 20% undivided working interest in the Buganviles Block
through the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Holywell.
In addition, in November 2009, Petrodorado announced it was the successful bidder with PRE (operator)
to farm-in on the Buganviles Block to earn a 29.5% working interest. In exchange for this working
interest Petrodorado will fund a total investment of US$2.27 million which will be spent on the drilling of
one new exploratory well.
Final well locations are presently being defined in conjunction with the operator, PRE. The first
exploration well is expected to commence drilling in June 2010
.

La Maye Block
Petrodorado has an undivided 20% working interest in an exploration and production contract with the
Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (“ANH”) in the La Maye Block and an undivided 20% interest in
four turn-key test wells and associated tie-in equipment. The La Maye Block is located in the Lower
Magdalena Valley of Colombia and consists of approximately 5,992 hectares (approximately 14,800
acres)
Petrodorado (in conjunction with the operator) drilled the Noelia-1 oil well on the La Maye Block in
October of 2009. A second exploration well is expected to commence drilling in June of 2010. The first
exploration well will be tested in conjunction with the testing of the second well.

Petrodorado paid US$3.5 million into an escrow account to satisfy its commitment to the participation
agreement. Petrodorado authorizes draws from this account as certain development milestones are met.
As at December 31, 2009, US$1,700,000 had been drawn from this account leaving US$1,800,000
(C$1,889,336) in the escrow account. Sufficient funds remain in the account to complete the remaining
three wells in the project.


Talora Block
Petrodorado is party to a participation agreement with a private Colombia based company to earn a 55%
interest in the Talora block located in the Upper Magdalena basin of Colombia. The Talora block consists
of 65,972 hectares (approximately 163,000 acres) southwest of Bogota.
The Company acquired 122km of 2D seismic data in March 2010 and seismic processing and
interpretation are underway. An exploration well targeting 25 to 35 degree API oil is planned for
September 2010.

Tacacho Block
In January 2010, Petrodorado acquired a 49.5% working interest in the Tacacho Block located in the
Putumayo Basin of Colombia. The Tacacho block measures approximately 599,000 hectares
(approximately 1,617,300 acres) and is located in the foreland basin of the Putumayo mountain range, in
the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia. PRE has a 50.5% working interest in the block. The 24 month-long
exploration program includes the acquisition, processing and interpretation of 480 kilometres of 2D
seismic data. Initial environment assessments are underway for the seismic program.



Peru

In February 2010, Petrodorado signed a definitive agreement with PRE to farm-in on two exploration
blocks in Peru. The working interests in Blocks 135 and 138 are subject to Peruvian government and/or
regulatory approvals.

Block 135

Zeitnahes reporting? Das erklärt für mich zumindest den knappen range vor dem
Ausbruch im Oktober. Mr. Ku hat hier gezielt den Bid bedient und einen vorherigen
breakout verhindert. Er hat im September 4 Mio shares im open market verkauft,
die Gründe sind mal dahin gestellt - imho aber sicher nicht positiv, wenn einer der
großen Instis der Story unter seinen EK-Preisen hier schmeißt. Imho aufgrund der
signifikanten Posi evtl. ein strategischer Schritt, er hält noch mehr als 32 Mio Aktien.
Dass diese Insiderverkäufe verspätet released wurden ist das eine - wieso diese
Verkäufe aber nicht bei TMX (daily insider) publiziert wurden, ist mehr als fraglich.

Petrodorado bleibt imho ein long term growth & management play. Von den reinen
Zahlen und Fakten her sind die meisten kolumbischen Öl-Werte zum Teil erheblich
überbewertet. Schau dir nur mal den Vergleich zwischen dem Topgainer CNE und
CZE an! PDQ kommt derweil auf eine MCap von 320 Mio USD - sollten sie in den ersten
Bohrungen von Herbst 2010 nichts relevantes treffen, wird sie schnell wieder auf das
alte Niveau zurück kommen. Die Trefferquote hat sich lt. Management um 4% auf
32% verbessert.


Das coverage von Raymond James und Canacord nimmt Fahrt auf, beide haben letzte
Woche das erste öffentliche Update gegeben. Von keiner kleineren Bedeutung in der
Szene ist aber das coverage von TD, dessen erstes Ziel (0.55) wurde fast erreicht.
Diese renommierten Häuser sind in ihrer Marktmacht aber voll ernst zu nehmen -
ein Segen in der Hausse und ein Fluch in der Krise. Hier werden jetzt natürlich viele
Lemminge rein getrieben. Bei diesem float aber nicht weiter schlimm - imho sind jedoch
weniger als 80 Mio shares im freefloat.

Demnach wurden in den letzten 2 Wochen mehr als 20% free floats gehandelt - die
kanadischen Vorzeige-Häuser bringen hier das maßgebliche Volumen! Die Jungs von RJ
sind von Anfang an dabei und haben das PP am Markt plaziert.

Petrodorado Energy Ltd. (PDQ : TSX-V): Loon acquisition replaced with
farm-in; maintain SPECULATIVE BUY rating, and C
.65 target


Petrodorado Energy Ltd.
PDQ : TSX-V : C
.48 | C$189.7M | Speculative Buy, C
.65
Loon acquisition replaced with farm-in; maintain SPECULATIVE BUY rating, and C
.65 target

Investment recommendation

We reiterate our SPECULATIVE BUY rating and C
.65 target price as the company ramps up exploration activities including drilling across its Moriche,
Buganviles, La Maye and Talora blocks in Colombia in Q4/10, and its CPO-5 and Pirity blocks in
Colombia and Paraguay in H1/11.

Investment highlights

· The proposed acquisition of Loon Energy (LNE : TSX-V : C
.05 | Not rated) by Petrodorado announced on July 19, 2010 will not proceed.

· Farm-in announced – Petrodorado will fund Loon’s cost of two Buganviles Block wells in exchange
for a 10%-15% interest in the block. Post the announcement of both transactions, Petrodorado’s
interest decreases by 5%-10% relative to previous expectations.

· Buganviles drilling update: the Visure-1X well spud on October 16 and has reached a depth of
1,500 feet to date. The company expects to spud the Tuqueque-1X well near-term.


Valuation

Our C
.65 target price is based on our estimated cash position of C$55 million, the value of 215 million
warrants (C$75 million) plus our estimate of the risked exploration upside from the company's
properties.

Risks

Petrodorado is exposed to exploration risk as well as financing risk. Production growth from modest
levels is completely dependent upon exploration success, while poor share price performance would
result in US$75 million of warrants (C.35 exercise price) not being exercised.
 
Sehr starke news, die well hat auf allen 3 Ebenen getroffen und wird
vermutlich schon in einigen Wochen zum operativen Cashflow beitragen.

Die nächsten Tage heißt es imho sell the facts, nachdem die Gerüchte
durch FrontRunning aggressiv gekauft wurden.

Rückkauf unter .50 bis zur nächsten news evtl. möglich
PETRODORADO ANNOUNCES EXPLORATORY SUCCESS IN ITS
VISURE-1X WELL, BUGANVILES BLOCK

November 4th, 2010 – Calgary, Alberta: Petrodorado Energy Ltd. ("Petrodorado" or the
"Company") (TSXV-PDQ) announces a new exploratory success at its Visure-1X well, located in
the Buganviles Block, Upper Magdalena Valley Basin, Colombia.
The Visure-1X well, located in the Visure prospect, to the southeastern border of the Buganviles
Block, was drilled to evaluate a structural trap, similar to the nearby producing Abanico field, to
the northeast. The well had three main exploratory targets: the Upper, Lower Cretaceous
Guadalupe Formation and the Tertiary Barzalosa Formation. The well was drilled slightly
deviated at an angle of 9 degrees and found the top of the Barzalosa Formation at 2,206 feet MD
(1,040 feet TVDSS), the Upper Guadalupe at 2,995 feet MD (1,825 feet TVDSS), the Lower
Guadalupe at 3,079 feet MD (1,908 feet TVDSS), and the top of Villeta Formation at 3,272 feet
MD (2,099 feet TVDSS).
PDQ läuft exzellent, imho haben sie auf Buganviles getroffen.

AN INTERVIEW WITH KRISHNA VATHYAM
PRESIDENT AND CEO WITH PETRODORADO ENERGY – PDQ


(As of January 26, 2012)

Canaccord’s Fred Kozak has had more than a little luck lately with some of his ideas and one that we are very thankful of was his suggestion that the significance of the Argentina shale plays would attract much attention and he has certainly been right about that. Thanks for the idea on Madalena Ventures (MVN)! He continues to suggest watching the area as if Madalena has success it will help companies such as Crown Point Ventures (CWV) dramatically.

But back to Colombia where Kozak hosted the South American Oil and Gas conference in Bogota just last week and 22 companies from around South America participated. One of those was a junior that Kozak has hopes for called Petrodorado Energy (PDQ.V). We caught up with President Krishna Vathyam, for a bit of an update.

David Pescod: I guess the big question for you Krishna is the permitting process in Colombia. More than a few people suggest that the bureaucracy in Colombia is not the most efficient. Any thoughts on that at this time?

Krishna Vathyam: The clock in Colombia runs a very different speed than Alberta. We see structural and procedural issues with the environmental permitting process. Since this problem is faced by all companies in Colombia – we have to learn to live with it.

David Pescod: How many of your plays in Colombia are waiting on this permitting process and of course with a play just downstream from Petrominerales’ 10,000 barrel a day well, that’s one play that is going to be attracting attention if and when that permit is obtained.

Krishna Vathyam: at present we are awaiting permits for 3 blocks to start drilling. We are expecting these permits shortly and once we get them it will take us around 4 weeks to spud. An important point to note here is that PMG is drilling a second well Yatay-2 targeting the secondary target from the 10,000 bopd well Yatay-1. As per the guidance from PMG the test results from this well are expected end Jan, so we are eagerly awaiting these results.

David Pescod: We look at a chart on PetroNova (PNA) and notice that as soon as they got their big play okayed, people do pay attention. Is this something we should be hoping for down the road?

Krishna Vathyam: We at PDQ have a lot of big plays in our portfolio so we expect the market to really take interest in us once we get our permits. The smarter money will buy before that!

David Pescod: You have a long list of high profile plays over South America from Paraguay to Peru to Colombia. What kind of realistic time frames do you expect now for spudding these various plays? And we note some suggest Paraguay might be a long way away?

Krishna Vathyam: We expect 2012 to be a significant year for us, as most of our plays are going to be drilled. As for Paraguay – we will know by mid Feb if we drill in 2012 or 2013. All technical work has been completed and well locations have been finalized. It is quite frustrating that this big play is held up for some above ground issue. We expect to drill 12 exploration wells this year, let us say due to the standard bureaucratic delays we only achieve to drill 7-8 exploration wells – even this is a large number of catalysts for this year – hence we expect 2012 to be significant year for us.

David Pescod: I guess for any speculator the idea is what kind of an upside does some of these plays offer? As far as the top four or five plays that are going to attract attention, just how big a story could they be?

Krishna Vathyam: The way we built our portfolio, we have what we call company maker blocks (5 of them). If successful each one of these 5 blocks have a potential of over 100 mmbo recoverable net to PDQ, and giving a valuation of $10 per barrel it leads to each of the 5 potential blocks to be worth $1bn! So the upside is very significant.

David Pescod: In working in the countries – Colombia, Peru and Paraguay, are there things about working in the countries that one should worry about or be hopeful about? Particularly since Paraguay isn’t that well known in the oil and gas business…

Krishna Vathyam: First the really good part: all these countries are investor friendly i.e. no issues of taking funds out of the country and also their license rules are very similar to Alberta. The areas to worry about are as you have noted the bureaucracy taking much longer to issue permits – which leads to delays of months to a year or two – which in turn upsets the investors.

David Pescod:
We note that there’s lots of different expectations for oil prices over the next year, anywhere between $80 on the low side, to $120 on the high side. What kind of numbers are you expecting and what should we know about oil pricing in Colombia, Paraguay and Peru?

Krishna Vathyam: Here we are in a lucky position as we can evaluate our commerciality (when we have exploration success) at both these extremes and make decisions accordingly. We think for our “company maker” blocks a WTI of $80 will be sufficient to have commerciality. We expect Colombia to track the Brent more than WTI as it did in 2011. Peru again should track the Brent since its main export market is Asia. Paraguay at its early stage will track the WTI.

David Pescod: If you had to suggest a stock to be following other than your own, what would it be?

Krishna Vathyam: We have gone thru this before, I still recommend PRE and had previously suggested PNA – before its significant run-up (when we talked it was trading in 40’s now it is in the 90’s), so if you had followed my lead when we last talked; you would have doubled your money. (DP: Actually, we did listen to Krishna and pick up a few PetroNova just in case he knew what he was doing...and now that we’ve seen his stock picking abilities or luck, next time he is screaming about something, we will feature it).

David Pescod:
Thank you very much Mr. Vathyam!

David Pescod Interview with Krishna Vathyam, PRESIDENT and CEO with PETRODORADO ENERGY (As of August 9, 2012)

David Pescod: We are here with Krishna Vathyam and finally celebrating a bit for Petrodorado Energy with two tidbits today. Their major play CPO-5 – they finally got their licenses (we hear nine months after the Colombian-imposed deadlines) so why don’t you tell us a little about that play Krishna.

Krishna Vathyam: For the CPO 5 play it’s very close to some very prolific producers in Colombia. 80% of Petrominerales production comes from two blocks that are adjacent to CPO 5 (North West). We are going to drill our first two wells about 2 km away from some big discovery wells that ip’d at more than 10,000 b/d. We are very close to this trend and we have one fault corridor further southeast from the other discovered wells. The area of the two blocks put together of Petrominerales is 1/6 the area of our block, the CPO-5. So we have a big land position and more importantly is that we are pretty close to discoveries. There are multiple prospects and each prospect has 3-4 stack sand prospectivity. So that’s why it looks very attractive and we will be starting our drilling program with two wells and based on the results will drill more wells. So we are very excited about it.

DP: You have licenses for up to 45 wells, but none of these wells can be considered “gimmees”?

KV: Yes they are exploration wells. The plus point of getting licenses for 45 wells - if the first well is successful, we can drill two development wells without needing any more permits. That’s the plus side of it.

DP: Also in the news today, you announced that you spudded your Dorados well. That is a much higher risk/reward well though, isn’t it?

KV: Yes. It’s high risk in the conceptual sense. We drilled one well in a prospect east of Dorados towards the end of 2010 and we discovered gas which could not sustain production, but the primary target called “Caballos” wasn’t reached because of gas kicks. The presence of hydrocarbons is not the main risk from our point of view; it is the quality of the reservoir which is the risk because the “Caballo” formation has not been proven in the neighborhood. So that is the risk associated with it, but if it is successful, we are looking for light oil and the size of the prospect is quite big – 20 million barrels net to Petrodorado’s interest, and very close infrastructure. So to convert a discovery into commerciality is very, very quick.

DP: What is the new perception of working in Colombia? It has been an unpleasant surprise how long it’s been to get permits and most of the oil companies working in Colombia have seen their shares get hammered over the last while. Any thoughts on Colombia?

KV: They have issued a whole series of permits right now along with us. Pacific Rubiales also announced a water injection project has been approved, and Ecopetrol/Talisman mentioned that they received their permit for CPO-9 block which is south of our CPO-5. So it looks like they batch released some permits, but from our point of view, we haven’t seen a structural change. I hope that structural changes have been made so that these things are problems of the past, not of the future. But I have to see it to believe it.

DP: What are your thoughts on the price of oil going forward?

KV: As usual I would say it will stay between $80 and $100.

DP: Okay, last time we cornered you, you were picking Bankers Petroleum (BNK) as your pick with a nice target by Christmas. Any changes.

KV: No. Bankers is still a hold. And I also proposed Total and it is already up from the day I proposed close to 15% to 20%, yielding 6% in the meantime.

Petrodorado Provides Operations Update

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 5, 2012) -


Petrodorado Energy Ltd. ("Petrodorado" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PDQ) is pleased to provide an operational update on the Talora and CPO-5 Block in Colombia.

Talora

A testing rig is now rigging up on the exploration well Dorados-1X. Multiple test intervals have been identified and will be tested sequentially from the deepest to the shallowest.

The target testing zones are:Lower Dorados Sand conventional reservoir
Upper Dorados Sand conventional reservoir with indications of fractures
Unconventional Shale unconventional with indications of fractures


Petrodorado is the operator of the block with a 65% Working Interest.

CPO-5

The Kamal-1X exploration well was spudded on October 29 and is presently at 700 feet. The total target depth of the well is 10,500 feet. This is the first exploration well in CPO-5 targeting the Mirador, Guadalupe and the Une sands in trend with nearby prolific producing wells in the adjoining Corcel and Guataquia Blocks.

Petrodorado has a 30% non-operated working interest in this block.

Krishna Vathyam, Chairman, President and CEO of Petrodorado Energy Ltd.

"With the drilling in CPO-5 and testing in Dorados-1X underway, we eagerly await results from these two wells. "
 
Petrodorado to Test Loto-1X in CPO-5 Block

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - March 11, 2013


Petrodorado Energy Ltd. ("Petrodorado" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:PDQ) intends to case and test the second exploration well, Loto-1X, in the CPO-5 Block located in the Llanos Basin in Colombia.

Loto-1X

This second exploration well commenced on January 22, 2013, and was drilled to a total measured depth of 10,500 feet. The Loto-1X well targeted the Mirador, Guadalupe and Une sands.

Drilling has been completed and three conventional cores were obtained and logging operations have been concluded. Petrophysical evaluation supported by the conventional cores indicates that the target reservoir sands in the Tertiary, Mirador and Guadalupe formations are oil bearing. Well logs indicate total potential net oil pay of approximately 80 feet of high quality sand.

Fluid sampling is presently being run in the three potential reservoirs as well as in the Une formation to confirm if it contains mobile hydrocarbons.

An ESP multi-zone testing program using the present drilling rig is planned for the Loto-1X well in the Mirador, Guadalupe and Une formations. The Une formation will be tested conditional on fluid sampling results.

The CPO-5 Block is presently under phase one of a two-phase exploration program of a total of 5 committed exploration wells.

Petrodorado has a 30% non-operated working interest in the CPO-5 Block.

Krishna Vathyam, Chairman, President and CEO of Petrodorado Energy Ltd.

"The conventional cores and logging indicate excellent quality sands in the target zones and are similar to the sands found in nearby discoveries. We await testing results to confirm these logging and coring results."
