Oil and Gas Eye provides quarterly analysis and commentary on activity driving the AIM market, and examines movements of Ernst & Young's Oil and Gas Eye index, which monitors the performance of AIM oil and gas companies on a weekly basis.
Oil and Gas Eye market values improve, but vulnerability is underlined 
- The Oil & Gas Eye index gained an impressive 24% in Q1 2012, outperforming the rest of AIM and the large cap oil & gas sector
- Gains were driven mainly by takeover speculation and drill-bit success
- There is still a huge need for investment capital in the sector. IPO activity was almost non-existent, and secondary fund-raising fell substantially from Q4.
- Many junior companies have had exploration successes, only to face development delivery challenges
- Directors and investors need to find necessary capital and expertise, and avoid (or maximise value from) a takeover approach
