Fair enough SpArmada. I'm very happy to accept what you say. I'm not familiar with the NSTA's workings but I was so pleased to find the production data that I thought it would be complete. I understand that Wressle is held as two PEDLs (Production and Development Licence) 180 & 182, so you would think this covered all eventualities, and that the granting of the development consent would trigger the release of the all the data, but there we go! All the best.
Not even Mark Abbot knows about how the NSTA data publication policy works, I cannot answer to that question, I wish I could. My guess if that their licence was explopration, not production, thus, the NSTA didn't published the data until the change of type of license was formal. After a long time using NSTA/OGA's data, I can guarantee you that monthly production data is timestamped on the 15th.
SpArmada. I'm sorry if what I posted isn't correct. But can you explain otherwise why the NSTA hasn't published any figures for June when Wressle gained production consent in late May? I agree with you about the gas flaring. Maybe it will be fixed fairly soon with the proposed small electricity generator. I understand these don't take too long to order and install.
I'm pretty sure they will be in conformance with everyone else GP. I think the data submission form is pretty clear
GreyPanther, stop spreading disinformation across different boards. The NSTA uses the 15th to date the production data because it is the middle point for each month. August production data corresponds to ... August production, not July.
It is a pity they are flaring ~75 boepd of gas, I hope they fix that soon
Hi Mirasol. I think the two production figures: (15 July: 771.68 bopd and 15 Aug: 711.16 bopd) aren't the production figures for those two particular days or months. IMO they are the average monthly figures for the preceding months of June and July. I say this because the NSTA's production consent for Wressle was announced in late May, and the NSTA always date their production figures on the 15th of each month.
NSTA have published July & August numbers
July 2022 3156.7 tonnes per month 770 bopd
August 2022 2909.1 tonnes per month 770 bopd

There was an interesting post on the UJO board on Weds which may be of interest to some of us. itsawrap -emailed Mark Abbott as follows:
"Hi Mark, drillordrop has published the latest stats for onshore oil production for August. Wressle is still not included, many of us are wondering why. Can you shed any light on this for the bulletin boards?" Mark kindly responded very quickly.
"We have been providing monthly production data to the NSTA via the online portal since the field gained production consent, so there is no reason it shouldn’t be published. I will chase the NSTA on this to find out why."
One big disaster. As all gas companies in UK.
So what if December is grim. Its December.
We've already been blessed with a warm winter. There's no way we are having below average temp winter now. Its 1/3 done.
Would be instructive to see the outcome from a referendum about Fracking after the general public where given the true facts and potential instead of propaganda.
The long range weather forecast for December (within wide limits of reliability) is for a “blocking pattern” with high pressure stationary over the U.K. for longish periods, that means cold nights especially in the North of England. The middle of December is anyway a period of peal electricity and gas demand as almost everyone’s at work. So it looks like December may be the first real test of our winter preparedness. And all that gas is under the East Midlands waiting to be harvested.
"If the same seismic criteria for Fracking is used for roadbuilding ,quarrying,pile driving etc then they would not be allowed."
this is true - but they're not new - the problem is the Public were convinced about the "dangers" of fraccing years before the industry woke up and tried to tell the truth - too late I'm afraid
I hope hunt (think i spelled it correctly) puts a windfall tax on the green energy producers ,they are making lots of money because of the extortionate energy charges. Strange that the just oilyy slicks dont mention that,but i suppose you don't bite the hand that backs you.
If the same seismic criteria for Fracking is used for roadbuilding ,quarrying,pile driving etc then they would not be allowed.
" Focussing on energy security will eventually lead to a rethink about fracking."
If the events of the last few months show anything it is that any UK politician will run a million miles rather than try and resurrect fracking
The point is that diesel over £2 puts the spotlight on the energy crisis and anything that does that gets the media, the public, and politicians thinking about energy supply and energy security. Focussing on energy security will eventually lead to a rethink about fracking.
By the way it’s interesting to note that many of those who wring their hands with moral outrage at Qatar hosting the World Cup conveniently forget they use Qatari LNG supply. Hypocrites.
what's teh point?
That's diesel and it's costly because we don't refine enough in the UK - quite a lot comes from Russia - it has no impact on the Price of oil or EDR - just means someone like Jim Radcliffe will look at changing over some of his UK refineries
Title should have been “National Fuel Crisis” and “before Christmas”.
The Daily Mail report that diesel is already over £2 on motorways and expected to rise to that level across the country possibly before Some analysts have raised the possibility of rationing

There are a couple of good posts by Panther et all on UJO re Wressle - worth a look

RE: StandbyWed 17:24
Based on the rather limited reservoir data released by Egdon I don't think we are seeing a production decline due to falling reservoir energy just yet. While I've seen no definitive published info, I feel this to be the case this because no water has been produced so far, and from the original but limited DST data available it seems that no gas cap is present in the Ashover reservoir. I reckon it's much more likely that it's as you suggest, and that the oil rate has to be managed to keep the flared gas at or just below the daily limit imposed by the EA. It's also possiblethat during the summer Egdon may have choked the well back more than is necessary in the winter, but this is just a blind guess on my part.

Thanks for you input GP.
Agree re the Ashover volumes, which I also think will be shown to be larger when they demonstrate that the contact cannot be where GC placed it, probably by continued pressure analysis and mass balance work. According to UJO's own released data the well has gone from about 820 bbls/day in March to 750 bbls/day in a pretty steady decline to July to 700-725 today. My view is that this is not a natural decline, rather its a by product of having to manage the gas volume flaring limit. Once the flaring issue has been eliminated then it should increase, or do you think this is a natural decline?
Excellent interview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXZgpOJGUUk
morning mirasol, I'm not sure how the RNS could be any clearer
"Site micro-turbine to be installed for site power"
"This will be undertaken in two steps. Initially we will replace the site diesel generator with a gas micro-turbine for site electrical power, and secondly, we will install a separate gas engine to generate and export up to 1.75 MW of electricity into a local private power network."
You need to have a customer for the electricity - Ok you can use some of it on site but I doubt you save much as you still need the backup of conventional sources. Egdon survive by NOT paying out on extra kit - they have always been extremely careful on capital commitments
need to log in to view...
IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor caught up with Mark Abbott, managing director at Egdon, to discuss its operations and how it has had to pay its share of the ‘Energy Profits Levy’, despite bigger companies like Shell ‘avoiding the windfall tax altogether’.
Hi, mirasol, I disagree, a simple micro-turbine instead of a diesel generator should be part of the on-site kit when a well starts producing. Bear in mind Egdon has a lot of sites, the micro-turbine should be viewed as an investment for the company which can be moved to another site if and when necessary. I dont think it would look silly at all, just a sensible & strategic purchase, in fact, not buying one a year ago makes them "look very silly" imo.
