US lawmakers grappling with the same issue as our own gubmint over domestic production. What's the point in shutting down less polluting local supply and then depending on other producers to open the spigots? From House of Reps today:

Manyana: "How do you know what amount of gas is there because the Transocean equipment failed during the 2012 drill. That is why they had a court case that went on until 2015."
Nobody knows what amount of gas is there. What we have are estimates based on modelling. There are two official ones -- an audit by RPS energy, and a CP report by Netherland Sewell & Associates. There is a third revised estimate by PVR themselves from 2016, but it covers OPL/1 (the option that PVR relinquished) as well as SEL 1/11. None of this has anything to do with the Transocean failure. That well was sidetracked and drilled to the original target depth regardless of the initial failure. The flow rates that you yourself reported in your previous post came from that drill.
Manyana: "You strike me as somebody who wants Barryroe "to fail", probably because you have no shares and would like some, have no money to buy them ... etc."
I hold several million shares in Providence. Once again, I invite you to keep things civil.

You strike me as somebody who wants Barryroe "to fail", probably because you have no shares and would like some, have no money to buy them, left work in your 40s because you were probably regarded by your associates as a pain in the rear end and hence are living on the clippings of tin.
Very much the same attitude as your superego "TheShen" whose mantle you have now adopted.
So when Barryroe is a success and people like me are rolling in it we can thumb our noses at people like you because you have been naysayers for so long that it is now water off a ducks back.
And I thought you had put me on "ignore" but obviously you like reading my posts because you scrutinise them so carefully you can nearly repeat them verbatim which indicates what an absolute nerd you are. As they say, once a nerd always a nerd.

I like nerds because I always feel superior to them.
Manyana, you are doing yourself no favours with your catty remarks. It's just a cover for your gaffs about turning oil into hydrogen, discovering oil with a sonar survey, and all the other old wives tales you have spun about potential funders and takeovers. I invite you to stick to a civil discussion.
Manyana: "So how does that square with "flowed 7 million standard cubic feet of gas a day from a second, 17-foot thick gas bearing section in the upper part of the Wealden sandstone"."
It squares very easily. Like I said, the upper sands are more gas rich. 7 Mmcf is the equivalent of just over a thousand Boe. The EDS scheme is looking for 15,000 bbl/day. The gas is a small fraction. It's not MY story -- it's from PVR's own audited analysis. Processing the gas is going to be a pain for PVR (and an expensive one) which is why they have variously discussed reinjecting it or burning it to power field operations. Of course they will discuss other options that are more palatable to Green sensibilities, despite the gas being less than 3% of the field value. Such as:
""Produced oil and gas is planned to be transported onshore either through a subsea pipeline, or floating storage units and shuttle tankers."
And whatever happened to the reuse of that Kinsale pipeline? Does it even exist anymore or is it being dismantled as we speak. Linn himself said he didn't want it.
Isn't it amazing how easy it is to get a reaction from you which delights me especially when you start spewing out total misinformation and had to go scrambling all over the place to try and prove your point.
That is why I think you are TheShen come back in another guise.
You say "And if you had UNDERSTOOD the Providence documentation, you'd know that they were talking about so-called blue hydrogen from natural gas."
But I thought you said "the gas is irrelevant". Barryroe and you claim Linn said "Linn himself speculated that the gas might be just reinjected to maintain oil well pressures."
So how does that square with "flowed 7 million standard cubic feet of gas a day from a second, 17-foot thick gas bearing section in the upper part of the Wealden sandstone". and " “We are very pleased to confirm that the gas zone was far more productive than we had anticipated. "
Plus:
"Produced oil and gas is planned to be transported onshore either through a subsea pipeline, or floating storage units and shuttle tankers. The production life of the field is estimated to be 25 years."
So, if it was being reinjected why would it be transported onshore? Another fine canard from you as usual.
Go back to being "well read" but I suggest you start with Enid Blyton as her level of literature just about matches your intelligence. She has a lot of books so you can claim to be "well read" when you have finished but if you don't think she has enough you could always move on to Barbara Cartland. I think I heard she wrote about 270 so that should keep you busy for a while and "chick lit" seems to match your level of intelligence.
I suggest your insomnia is causing you to go a bit doolally. Back to bed then and take some Horlicks. It might help you to sleep and sort out your addled mind.
Manyana: "Barryroe was never envisaged as a "gas" producer but on the basis that the oil is mixed with gas, the gas was seen as a by-product."
Manyana, previously: " gas is a far cleaner commodity than coal or oil ... it puts Providence in a far better position of strength when it comes to develop Barryroe."
The Greens may be stupid, but unless they are complete morons they will realise that a field that contains only 10% gas as a byproduct is not part of a cleaner greener transition story. Linn himself speculated that the gas might be just reinjected to maintain oil well pressures. Solution gas has traditionally been a mere annoyance, and was generally just flared off before that practice was prohibited. Why do you think Linn was talking about reinjection? ... the alternative is a lot of expensive infrastructure for what is less than 3% of the field value.
Manyana: "But even the current amount equates to one fifth of Corrib and when they drill lower the chances are they will find even more than in Corrib and possibly as much as was in Kinsale where the gas lasted 45 years."
Did the magic sonar tell you that? Always the one for ridiculous unbridled speculation. The previous drills on Barryroe found that the upper sands were more gas rich than the lower. But even assuming the same 10% ratio of solution gas across the whole field including the Jurassic, there would have to be six billion barrels of oil in place for it to contain as much gas as Kinsale. Pull the other one.
Manyana: "Furthermore, if you had read the Providence documentation you would know that one of the uses for the Barryroe oil was to produce hydrogen. So, clever clogs, is hydrogen a gas and, if so, why did you not add it to your simple calculation."
And if you had UNDERSTOOD the Providence documentation, you'd know that they were talking about so-called blue hydrogen from natural gas. Nobody's talking about turning oil into hydrogen. You probably also don't know about the paper from two months ago by Cornell and Stanford scientists (Howarth and Jacobson "How Green is Blue Hydrogen" https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ese3.956 ) who did a hatchet job on blue hydrogen. Under a veneer of science they cherrypicked methane leakage stats to paint blue hydrogen as a sinister plot by the Big Oil bogeyman. Total nonsense, but that's what does the rounds in Green circles.
Greens are evil and Barryroe should be developed, but your fairy stories aren't going to convince anyone but yourself.
Do you do nothing else but sit "watching" this BB? Are you an insomniac or is it you just don't have anything else to do? Probably both.
Barryroe was never envisaged as a "gas" producer but on the basis that the oil is mixed with gas, the gas was seen as a by-product.
But even the current amount equates to one fifth of Corrib and when they drill lower the chances are they will find even more than in Corrib and possibly as much as was in Kinsale where the gas lasted 45 years.
Furthermore, if you had read the Providence documentation you would know that one of the uses for the Barryroe oil was to produce hydrogen.
So, clever clogs, is hydrogen a gas and, if so, why did you not add it to your simple calculation.
Try again.
After all, since Barryroe sits directly below Kinsale the possibility is that the Kinsale gas came from Barryroe in the first place.
So, as usual, poor mouther, you do not know the facts and until we do clever people than you will have their say.
90% of the energy and (at normal prices) 97% of the value of Barryroe is oil, not gas.
Our delightful EU representative, Mairead McGuinness, is starting to see the light by realising that gas is a far cleaner commodity than coal or oil and is putting it forward as a "green" transition fuel.
I am sure that will upset our "greens" including our noddy, Eamon Ryan, but it puts Providence in a far better position of strength when it comes to develop Barryroe.
