No...IMO Atkins are our EPC partners....they are certainly in that game and the timing is right.....I wouldn't be surprised to see that announced this week coming. They are jointly presenting a paper with JW....‘Project Islandmagee Energy - The Natural Gas Storage Facility in Northern Ireland’
RNS Number : 3038M
Infrastrata PLC
07 January 2019
JW.......'The full EPC tender package was issued in December 2018, with the tender returns due to be submitted in February 2019.'
Should be an exciting week.
As well as Evan Passaris of Atkins and John Wood presenting ‘Project Islandmagee Energy - The Natural Gas Storage Facility in Northern Ireland’
Also of interest is that DEEP are also presenting a paper on ‘Enabling Long-term Storage Integrity Management by Linking Stand-alone Well Integrity Checks’
And Atkins are also presenting a paper on ‘Optimizing Strategies for Brine Production as a Result of Salt Plant Modernization - a Case Example’…..JW was talking about this a couple of weeks ago in a tweet wasn’t he?
Interesting stuff going on !!

Following written by Dr Evan Passaris, chief geotechnical engineer at Atkins, the guy presenting the paper with JW
…… ‘While reservoirs tend to be bigger, allowing more gas to be stored in one go, salt caverns are easier and quicker to access, and have shorter filling periods, says Dr Evan Passaris, chief geotechnical engineer at Atkins. There are at least 14 salt cavern projects across the UK at the moment and Atkins is involved in seven.
“You do need both types of storage,” he adds. “You need the reservoirs to meet base demand and cope with seasonal variations. And you need the salt caverns generally to cover the peaks, because they can handle high withdrawal rates.”
As such, the salt caverns represent the most efficient and effective option for the UK to pursue, given the strain already being placed on the system. It helps that salt is an ideal storage material. Its porosity and permeability to gaseous products are near zero but can also be hollowed out relatively easily using a solution-mining process.
“Salt is a perfect material because it acts as a container. Healing of fractures is a process distinctly related to salt thanks to its ability to flow plastically, resulting to some extent in the closure of fractures,” Passaris says.
Atkins provides many of the services that go into designing and developing salt caverns, including the geological surveys to locate the best sites; carrying out the analysis and numerical modelling to design the caverns; and ensuring that caverns maintain their integrity as operators inject and withdraw gas.
Are salt caverns and reservoirs the future as far as gas storage is concerned? According to Passaris, it seems to be heading in that direction.’
Nice!.....that conference is brimming with international specialists of the highest calibre.
Roll on next few bits of news !!!
GLA !!!!
Can someone explain, for those on that might be a bit soft in the head. Me. Why would warrant holders vest there warrants now @ current SP rather than wait until a bit further down the line when the price is a lot higher.
With two years left before they expire why would you use them now as opposed to when the sp is into the 2-4p range.
Better to do it now before all the unknowns are... still unkown? Therefore locking in profit.
If it all goes Pete Tong, for whatever reason, they have got their money back and are riding free. So no loss.
Genuinely interested if someone could add a little to my understanding. TIA
Otherwise, almost a totally predictable week. Slight high first thing Monday, after Fridays rise. Gradualy getting lower till midweek. Then rise a bit more Thu, Fri to end a bit higher on the week.
Every time bouncing off the the support trend since Nov. Most of the MA's have crossed to support a short term rise. And I guess it will do similar until something newsworthy is announced. Then it's time to put away the charts and hang on. Meanwhile, since the New Year, a lot of new people have found and joined the good ship INFA. Of those, quite a few are short term traders. Looking for a quick return here or there. These are the ones creating this pattern. Short of pics from the anti's showing JW spearfishing dolphins off the North Irish coast I think we are all good till fresh news arrives.
Anyhoo, pub o'clock.
Laters, Si.
Can you nibble the warrant holders out?
Have done very well out of Infa so far & i'll keep nibbling at around a penny !
That's it, thanks Humpalumps.
guessing you mean this :P

Evan Passaris, technical director of Atkins and John Wood of Infrastrata presenting a technical paper together at the solution mining conference in New Orleans in early April "Project Islandmagee Energy-the natural gas storage facility in Northern Ireland". See the list of speakers. Humpalumps can you do the link honours? See technical papers list. Blue? Chips? Think a glass of something is called for.
Please don't allow anyone to write '1 code for the believers'
4 v 1
comfortably into the 1.2's this morning for a strong end to the week
Hints and clues...more like a Who's gonna do it than a Who dun it. Nice that the tweets come along to give us something to gnaw on. Thanks JW!
Yeah they were on the tender RNS and they are a huge company so looking good there :)
'InfraStrata and Atkins have been selected to present a paper at the Solution Mining Research Institutes Spring 2019 Conference #INFA #ATKINS'
Can this possibly be read as a JOINT paper by INFA and Atkins....if so, I think we might already have either our EPC or Owner's Engineer?
Sounds like John is being duly diligent himself!.......ensuring that many pencils in many peoples hands are being continually sharpened!......so as to keep in the game !...... I'm sure he's wringing the best deals possible.
GLA !!!!

Busy week with various DD work streams taking place, things are moving along at a nice pace. #INFA
Looking at the recent trades would it be fair to state that on balance there are lots of small sellers and a few larger buyers which implies a consolidation i.e. a smaller number of larger shareholders?
If this is the case does anyone have any thoughts as to how this may impact the SP once the news starts to come in?

money on the trade I've just done...I blame Gilgamesh...LOL. And he can buy me an oggi!
Very interesting from John Wood
