Shares in Gulf Keystone Petroleum (GKP) closed up over 21% on Tuesday on renewed bid rumours, having been up as much as 40% in intraday trading.

The company, which issued an update on operations (http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2012/01/09/gulf-keystone-updates-on-kurdistan-operations-3/) on Monday, last month denied that is was in takeover talks (http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2011/12/19/gulf-keystone-statement-on-takeover-speculation/), following rumours that ExxonMobil was considering making a bid for the company (http://www.iraq-businessnews.com/2011/12/19/gkp-jumps-on-takeover-rumours/) at five times the market valuation.
