IBUg
I think you're wrong here - the point is that a very large vertical section of the Kimm is connected by fractures - that includes the micrites or limestones AND the shale (which is the vast majority of the section). As it's connected all you need to do is to open up the hole opposite the limestones - these will flow better than the shales (unless you frac them). Oil flows from the limestones and is replenished via the fractures in the shales. Oil produced in the shales also will flow (Very slowly) into the fractures
We don't know how effective that replenishment is - and I 'd guess that is why they are taking so much time and spending n so much on analysing the Kimm data - pull too hard and you might bring in water into the limestones - better to keep rates modest until you know what is happening.
Ibug, wrong again. Maintaining your 100% record of being wrong.
Read the RNS again and try to understand it.
You learnt tonight that there is a difference between fractures and perforations, and hopefully you understand what that difference is, but I am not holding out that much hope as you are not the sharpest tool in the box.
Mirasol,
The last of the outstanding planning conditions need to be signed off by SCC, before UKOG can connect to the grid.
Argus
The oil did not flow from the shales as the layer was not perforated. I'll just leave it at that. End of. Go argue with yourself.
Ibug, do you now understand the difference between perforations and fractures?
argus
Ask yourself why they perforated c1000ft of Kimmeridge at BB and KL3 and KL4 at HH and 640 feet at Brockham. All 3 wells were perforated. The only difference is they did not perforate the shales at HH. That should tell you something.
Ibug you are really embarrassing yourself now. Fractures are cracks within the formation and in the case of the Kimmeridge are extensive and have formed naturally. Perforations are made through the casing of the well bore to allow a passage for oil to flow from the formation through the casing into the well.
See how silly you look now.
Argus
You obviously have missed the point. Why perforate the KL3 and KL4 layers if they are naturally fractured. You know nothing. Of course they need to perforate the interval in between if they are going to test them.
"The EWT will comprise a series of three separate test sequences commencing in the Portland followed by the KL4 and finally, the deeper KL3. If time permits a test combining the KL4 and KL3 (a commingled test) may be undertaken. It was never the plan to test the interval in between.
Perhaps if you had been an investor in Angus you would have realised that "Brockham X4Z well has been perforated from 960 metres to 1155 metres (an interval of 195 metres)" i.e. 640 feet. And look what happened there.
You don't need to look far for an analogous well.
Please try to do better.
You have to be in the same class as Thymers when it comes to knowledge.
Do you know what a test spread is?
Stanley, again you show why you have got yourself into such a fine mess with your investments. You need to pay some attention to details and facts. You could also point this out to Ollie.
You may have not noticed but there have been at least 407 oil tankers at HH. What ever the reasons there were none at Broadford Bridge. That is a major difference.
Ibug, Facts are not your strong point and as usual you are wrong again. As you can now see below your accusation of my maths ability was also wrong.
The EWTs has continued since the 16th Jan 2019 and the Kimmeridge reservoir details were updated via RNS on the 28th June 2019.
Kimmeridge oil reservoir is a vertical zone of 200M, not 109m.
Also Ibug there is no need to perforate the interval between KL4 and KL2 as the whole length is extensively naturally fractured which is why the oil is flowing from both the limestone and the shale layers.
RNS Number : 7440D
UK Oil & Gas PLC
28 June 2019
"We also tested the deeper naturally fractured Kimmeridge Limestone 3 ("KL3") and KL4 oil pool, which during its initial 50-hour period produced 563 to 771 bopd from the single KL3 perforated zone alone. The 40-41° API crude oil flowed continuously to the surface with zero water content. The test data confirmed that the Kimmeridge oil pool produces from one single vertically-connected 600ft (200m) or more naturally fractured zone, extending from the deeper KL2 to at least the top of the KL4 zone. Oil production is interpreted to come from both naturally fractured limestones and calcareous shales, which is an unexpected learning."
So far Ibug you have been completely wrong on the number of Tankers, the amount of oil produced, and the Kimmeridge Resevoir size.
Not much else left considering this is an oil company.
As per the RNS 19th Jan 2019 there had been 114 Tankers from HH.
There has now been 407 known tankers.
So 293 tankers over 56 weeks.
An average of 23 tankers per month or between 5 and 6 per week.
Allowing for down time there will have been days, or even some weeks, without any tankers. So there must have been many days when two and three tankers left HH.

How do you calculate when the % has changed so much since the EWT started? Why not just wait for the Annual Report?
Surely these are a big enough clue. (£23m)

Math is obviously not your strong point. 358ft is 109m not 200m. The interval between KL3 and KL4 was never perforated. Why not read the RNS's first before posting?
16 January 2019 KL4 production from a 103 ft perforated interval commenced during late November, yielding 2,192 bbl at a maximum half-hourly metered rate of 584 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") and at an average sustained daily continuous rate of 300 bopd over the subsequent week.
Fluid and pressure build up data gathered from the KL4 test demonstrate that the KL3 and KL4 are one single oil pool of 358 ft vertical extent. As a result, and as previously indicated, a decision was made to commingle both KL3 and KL4 production (i.e. produce from both sets of perforations at the same time).
Commingled KL3 and KL4 production from an aggregate 187 ft perforated interval commenced on 4th December at a maximum half-hourly rate of 426 bopd and continued throughout the Christmas and New Year period, producing 8,829 bbl of 40° API crude. The programme included several pressure build-up tests and testing of different pump configurations, settings and equipment.
Following the installation of a new downhole pump and an optimised surface hydraulic pump unit, stable commingled production resumed on 7th January at an increased initial rate of 525 bopd. The sustained daily rate over the subsequent week averaged 303 bopd. A de-waxing treatment applied on 14th January led to an increase in hourly rate to 351 bopd. Commingled production continues.
Argus,
Since end June up to end January about 32,000bbls has been produced (397*215 = ca 85,355 – 54,000 on 28 June). So revenue from HH over these 7months is about £1.65mm (OP av ca. $65, Exch av ca.$1.27/£1) = approx £236,000 per month
Since end November (27th) there has been up to end January 6511bbls produced (85355-78844) using the same figures that’s a gross £325550 in 2 months or £163,000 per month.
So far in February with tanker 407 yesterday that makes 10 tankers, and OP in Feb has been around $56 = about £93,000 – if the rest of Feb continues with one tanker a day = 14*215*56/1.3 = £130,000 – so not £400,000 – but for February, assuming they don’t stop for rig or coiled tubing unit arrival, about £220,000.
From the 31 March 2019 consolodated cashflow account UKOG gross outgoings were nearly £1.3mm a month, the next 3 months it was about £1.1mm.
For details see my post of 12 Feb, 21:03 where my estimate was that UKOG had at best £2.5mm left end of January. Which is why I won’t be surprised if there is a cash raise before the end of February – and not at 2p (or even a 10% discount to 2p).
‘Therefore, the Board seeks approval to increase its authority to allot and issue shares so that it can act swiftly to establish Production via an ability to fund the Company's Horse Hill FDP and to ensure that the Second Deferred Payment can be satisfied.’
Of course the £10,000 net a month they were getting from Horndean (accounts end September to end March) might delay it a day or two.
You may mess around with tanker volume, number of tankers on Jan 31st, average OP, exchange rate or claim that the £1.3mm and £1.1mm were periods with extraordinary costs – but UKOG certainly aren’t any where near covering costs with oil sales.
HH1 can at present produce oil from three separate levels in two different reservoirs. The lower two levels in the Kimmeridge have been proved by the EWT to be connected by extensive natural fractures creating over a 200m vertical oil zone producing from both the limestone and shales. Greatly increasing the amount of recoverable oil potential.
Argus,
Yes, it was my photo of the tanker and I agree, it's a shame there are a few people knocking Ukog, maybe need week it will all become a lot clearer, for everyone.
Roganjt, it must of been your photo of that tanker that I saw originally I think on FOTH twitter. Then on Wealdoilers as well.
You did well.
Trolls hate support for facts that disprove their false claims. It makes their deramping agenda so much more difficult.
Remember the recent attempt to pretend there was no cage on site for HH1. Same culprits on here today trying to get away with more false and misleading posts.
"Grid connection is covered by permitted development order 2015."
It is in deed but that's permission from the Planners - I meant there is no record of HHDL applying to THE GRID for a connection..........
Stanley, your 14.17 post explains clearly why your investing history is so poor. You need to give Mr Hardy the boot and get your financial advice elsewhere. It could not be worse than Ollie's to date.
argus1,
The 400th tanker was photographed by me last Friday week, 7th Feb and UKOG put a photo up on their web site. Seven tankers have been in and loaded since then, so 407 tankers to date.
Funny old thing. That is how many I made it. So allowing for the second one making up for Sunday that is 1 tanker a day. What Argus is also forgetting is that work has been done on HH-1 since the RNS so we have no idea what the flow rate is other than by the number of tankers giving a rough estimate.
What Argus also doesn't realise is that the Kimmeridge and Portland oil will be kept apart and that the very large tanks are for HH-2z.
Stanley, that is the £1million I had referred to in my 11.41 post today. You seem slow on the uptake.
Ibug, there was an oil tanker every day last week (none on Sunday), two on one day, 407 oil tanker to date, that we know of.
Ibug, Another assumption as to how many oil tankers there were each day. Not all are seen by those on twitter. Remember how wrong you were on the tanker count very recently.
I had posted that there could have been around 400 tankers at that time, you strongly denied it claiming only maximum of 370 and you spouted a low total for oil production.
RNS almost immediately confirmed 400 tankers had left HH and far more oil than your "calculations" and "assumptions" had led you to claim.
Your track record with your assumptions is not very good. About similar to Stanley's investing history.
Stanley, did you get fed that information from your good friend and adviser, Ollie or is it just another assumption you made up. If not which RNS is your information from.
