Snaith, putting words into another poster's mouth is really a little trite, no?
I did not "agree that if the HH2 conversion at Horsehill gets the go ahead to convert to a water injector well profits from oil sales will see a huge rise."
I stated that, IF permission is granted AND IF pumping water back in to Horse Hill does not adversely affect existing production or water contamination, then the cost of sale on UKOG's 100 bopd would indeed go down.
That's markedly different from what you were so unsurprisingly keen to pretend I'd said.
Snaith2
So how come HH-1 isn't producing at 1400 bopd?
CynderLad
What we don't know is how much fluids came out of HH-2Z between December 2019 through to October 2020. They will need to be replaced before any affect takes place. The longer it goes on the bigger the void at HH-1. imo the only gains will be in the non payment of contaminated water for quite a long period, probably years.
Snaith2, aka Adrian,
If you neighbour has a water leak, then is your house flooded?
I ask, because, if UKOG's original statements about HH2z being a different compartment in the Portland are true, then injecting water into that well may not drive oil up much at all. Have they really modelled HH1 / HH2z and shared that publicly? You seem to have a lot of confidence in a CEO that has a rather shocking track record.
Penguins
I checked the area and GYP are already producing there. 700 bbls a year from 1st well and now up to 400 bbls a month but can only see that 2 wells have been drilled.
Ocelot,
AME have already shown that the bit of SE Turkey that UKOG is involved in is not very analogous to the Kurdistan fileds by multiple drills at the adjacent, analogous to Resan/Basur E Sadak with significantly lower production and reserves.
Perhaps they intend to help with exploration nearer the border.
Have HITS on filter, so I have no idea what he wrote.
Isn't it amazing how UKOG apparently nothing to do with drilling for oil in SE Turkey. My geography must be terrible.
"H2P has identified the geology of southeast Turkey as analogous to Northern Iraq with the potential for world-scale reservoirs."
On the other hand, the use of the word "analagous" by H2P, part of the I-Pulse group founded by Robert Friedland, has nothing to do with UKOG (see Ibug's link of 07:06).
H.I.T.S.
Bit like the use of analogous when it comes to Horsehill and Broadford Bridge which is over the horizon but not Brockham which is nearly next door. Could it be because of Brockhams production figures?
Same could be said about Resan and East Sadak but not Sadak, Bukat and Kedil which are all closer.
They only mention Godley Bridge but never Alford when it comes to Loxley so UKOG really are selective with what the do and don't admit to.
Snaith "Headinthesand
The cost of oil sales is high at Horsehill because of the high cost to tanker contaminated waste water away to be incinerated."
I agree. Which is precisely why I said that nobody but an idiot would want Holmwood and Markwells Wood to be "producers like Horsehill".
"These high costs will be non-existent if water injection is used to put the wastewater back into the well." Again I agree that just the water disposal element of said costs would be substantially reduced... IF such a thing is permitted and IF such a thing is viable without adversely affecting production.
No deramping here - just stating facts. But I have to comment that throughout its entire history to date UKOG has always been very fond of its "ifs" and "potentiallys" and "expected to be's"...
Of coarse you are wright. After all what has SCC to do with the lease. The important approval for HH-2 is not the EA one which is mainly procedural but the approval by the OGA for the FDP addendum.
I have asked UKOG on many occasions why they never put in a FDP addendum to produce simultaneously from the Kimmeridge and Portland at HH-1 and have never had a response. They never even raised it at the AGM.
H2P has become a shareholder and board member of leading Turkish explorer Aladdin Middle East, which has been operating in Turkey for almost 60 years. (from your link of 07:06, Ibug)
And yet not one of H2P BoD is an AME board member.
If it is, then it makes this extract from Ibug's link of 07:06 all the more interesting:
TURKEY
H2P has identified the geology of southeast Turkey as analogous to Northern Iraq with the potential for world-scale reservoirs...
Is this the Robert Friedland behind I-Pulse?

Snaith2
Wrong. They never re-submitted the Planning Application and Holmwood application was withdrawn by Europa.
"03 May 2017
UK Oil & Gas Investments PLC
("UKOG" or the "Company")
Markwells Wood Planning Application Update
UKOG (AIM & NEX: UKOG) announces that, in order to progress the acquisition of new site-specific hydrogeological data over and around the Markwells Wood drilling pad, the Company has temporarily withdrawn its planning application to the South Downs National Park Authority ("SDNPA"). The application is now planned for resubmission later in 2017 after the completion of the planned data acquisition and upon the conclusions of ongoing technical conversations with the Environment Agency ("EA")."
" An Interesting tweet from Anton " and yet no picture of this surface piping. All sounds very dodgy to me. UKOGers back to their old tricks methinks.
Snaith, if either site had been drilled and "turned out to be producers like Horsehill has", that would in fact be really bad news for UKOG.
Why? Because from looking at the very recently released HHDL FY accounts, roughly speaking, every £1 of revenue generated from oil extracted from HH seems to have a £2 cost of sale attached to it. And that's without taking into account any of the initial set-up capex costs required, which would run into seven figures per site.
So actually it would be far more correct to say that Holmwood and Markwells Wood would have had to turn out to be producers absolutely nothing like Horsehill demonstrably has.
On that basis, it is very easily arguable that UKOG and especially its long-suffering PIs dodged two bullets when permissions weren't granted on these two sites. ..
Ahh Snaith - newbie, turns up on a Friday, has in depth past knowledge of UKOG - so if you're not FtH who are you?
Taking O&G advice from Adrian is akin to asking a kwik-fit mechanic to give advice on ancient Chinese literature. Enough said?
Ibug,
You began your post of 08:27 thus:
Christ. How many times have we heard UKOG use that term.
----------------------
I was simply pointing out that the extract did not come from UKOG but from a link of yours.
Adrain - please go away
Ocelot,
Unfortunately there is already a field in SE Turkey adjacent (and slightly nearer) Iraq to the field UKOG farmed into in south east Turkey - Resan/Basur - that has multiple wells yet doesn't produce oil at volumes 'analogous' to the Iraq fields. UKOG has also preferred to look far to the south-east and the Kurdistan fields than actually mention the production over time (or even a snapshot) of this producing lookalike field.
I wonder how much investment getting 8% of AME cost, or are they just going to utilise their technology as payment?
I noticed this in the annual report some time ago which suggests that the even the relatively small current 'reserves' for E Sadak may not be all they seem:-
'Our current strategy is to increase our oil production substantially from our new discoveries, proving the recoverable reserves to international industry standards and to the satisfaction of financial institutions.....' so they can get a London listing.
So the recoverable reserves quoted by AME (and requoted by UKOG) might be a bit flakey for the analogous field to Reasn/ Basur.
ocelot
So what. I post many links but don't believe a big % of them.
I don't go highlighting the rubbish, my word, they come out with though.
If SE Turkey was so analogous how come we have not heard of it before. Do you ever hear about the major oil fields in Turkey? Nope. Iraq? Yes.
another cr@p share to have a punt on mirasol ?? What's the strategy choose something with a bad chart and have a punt ?
