emerald_energy_logo.gifEmerald Energy (AIM: EEN) is smiling, thanks to new oil price highs. The oil exploration company was more than happy today to announce that its six month profit, after tax, had more than tripled.

Emerald Energy, whose shares trades on the AIM, London Stock Exchange said it saw an increase of more than $8 million in net income, which rocketed from $4.1 million in 2007 to $12.4 million presently. Despite a decrease in gross production from 663,000, to 528,000 barrels, revenue was up to $29.6 million from $20.7 million earlier.

The Isle of Man-based company owns a couple of oil-rich assets in Columbia, which on average produce 2,901 barrels a day, less than was projected earlier. The company blames a failure of the electrical submersible pump in the Gigante No.1A well for the shortfall.
