" If there is an RNS I don't expect to get the offload volume but who knows."

IF there is an RNS. Hmmm.

Let's assume the tanker hookup just before FoiL was just a 'trial run', or took on only 'slops'. This run is definitely for oil produced and stored on the FPSO. And as such represents the first actual revenue earned by Hurricane in its many years' existance.

Surely that's a 'price-sensitive' bit of news, and thus has be RNS'd?

What do others think?

"The comment by I believe Alistair Stobie ‘ Interupted ‘ was by my own view precisely chosen"

I know that some people are optimistically interpreting the word 'interrupted' as a veiled reference to a TO or similar. But may it not have a more prosaic meaning, referring to an interruption in production during the 'debottlenecking' operations such as tying in the third well and hooking up to a pipeline?

I wasn't at the AGM so cannot draw my own conclusions from observation and listening to AS, but would welcome opinion from people who were there.

JB,

Ash was the preferred wood for the arrows, not the bows they're launched from...

Which makes a lot more sense.

JB,

In that case, we were both wrong!

JF,

"Ash was also the preferred wood for making the English Longbow "

Yup. forgot that. Maybe time to forget about geology here for a while, and instead discuss the elastic properties of various woods.

*** 'Gone in the Wind'.

'Gone WITH the Wind'

Sorry, typo. I really must try to get some sleep.

Haircule,

"I hate to be pedantic, but it’s the frame, not the chassis, of the Morgan which is made of wood."

I stand humbly corrected. Yes, you're right.

But just to get my own back, and show I'm not completely thick, Ash is a wood with some remarkable mechanical properties. And for your local pub trivia quiz, it's the wood used for church-bell 'stays'. Stronger than Willow in terms of load-bearing ability, but less flexible.

Wulbert,

"So, help me out here. When (or at what point in the DW drilling process) can we expect some news/gossip/leak about DW?"

Genuine, so genuine answer, when I can get away from rattling the bars of Wellwell's cage.

News in terms of an RNS will come sometime after DST results are known. However DST will be visible and we've got plenty of spies out there!

I reckon about another fortnight, but may be wrong.

Wellwell,

" There’s always tomorrow."

Yeah.

"Tomorrow's another day" Last line of the film 'Gone in the Wind'.

So let's try another couple.

"We Blew it". Which film?

Or alternatively (and even more amusingly), "For a moment I thought we were in trouble!".

Wellwell,

"Down 2.74%. Wrong again."

Ah, so it is. Guess I must admit to being wrong. It was down just 0.47% when I last looked, while sitting outside a café. Anyway, doesn't bother me in the least if the SP is down a couple of percent.Just so long as it goes up a bit for the next 'spike'... Unlike some big so-called 'investors', I don't 'sell into raises'. Instead try to recognise the 'spike' and then do so, even if I might miss the sweet spot. Doesn't always work, but here's hoping...

" I can only admire the big bikes of today."

Me too, because there's no way I'd be stupid enough to try and ride one. It'd be instant wipeout.

Ah! Nothing like a bit of good petrolhead O/T after a day when one's preferred SP has taken a beating all day but ended up just 0.5% down come closing bell.

Molucca Velocette with a touch of Synthamesc... The Droogs' favorite cocktail.

Wellwell,

"He was responding to another posters question and simply listing the outstanding levers that may have bearing on the SP. But don't let that detract you."

Ah. So you now speak for 'Foresite22', do you? He was 'just responding to other posters' questions', was he? Shame he couldn't respond himself to tell me that.

Plus he didn't in his own post get so detailed as to talk about 'outstanding levers that may have bearing on the SP'. I thought he was some sort of oilman. And to me, when one starts talking about levers and bearings, I start asking if anyone's got a crowbar or a hammer within reach.

Obviously I've got the wrong end of the stick. But it won't detract me, impact me, retract me, or whatever...

Haircule,

" I love the sound of a V8"

Anyone who doesn't shouldn't be writing on an O&G BB! Music to the ears...

mrmisterfox just posted this:

"Anyway....it is what it is....c'est la vie et bonne chance escargot."

And I'm sorry, I know it's midweek and so on, but I couldn't help scurrying off to youtube in search of something, and found it.

Haircule,

"I am prepared to be patient. My Morgan awaits."

Hey! That's a new one! Most people on these BB's seem to be wanting a Porsche! (Not me. If I can keep my battered ol' Rangerover in diesel, I'm happy.)

Best of luck in acquiring one of those wooden-chassised things.

Oh, but this BB gets funnier by the hour.

Latest from 'Foresite22' who I initially thought was some sort of oilman, but am now having serious doubts. Talks the talk (sort of) but...

" What did the production testing before FOIL demonstrate?;"

WHAT 'production testing'? No 'tests' involved. Just 'firing up' the wells and getting them online and into production.

" when is the first lifting from AM?"

When the shuttle-tanker arrives.

" how is WD going - mechanical sidetrack?"

As distinct from? Who gives a dam, anyway? Past history.

" WD TD drilling results - discovery?"

Wait for the RNS post-DST.

"demonstrated flow rate in WD?"

Idem.

" when will OGA approve 100MMBO reserves; etc, etc, etc"

Ask OGA.

" Lot of uncertainty."

Yes. As to your credentials for asking such imbecilic questions, thereby trying to spread doubt in peoples' minds. Only one thing's 'certain' when playing this game called 'life', but I won't mention its name because it may upset your obviously fragile mind.

But I remain happily confident that Hurricane Energy has got all the 'issues' which are obviously causing you so much concern under control.

Longwait,

"So I have no intention of taking the cash 'why' I can, thanks very much."

Completely understand your point of view. If you're in a position to be able to continue 'holding' 100% (as I think you are), then do it! Unfortunately I'm not, have my diesel / whisky / excessive fun costs to meet, so did a little topslice lately, and am not ashamed to admit it.

What makes me laugh is the jokers here who continue implying there's something wrong with the company, that maybe it's golden syrup being produced on Lancaster, rather than oil, and similar suchlike baloney. Shrieking 'sell, sell, sell!'.

'Bigtime' will be when someone comes with an offer nobody in their right mind can refuse. They may be on the road already, but haven't yet tapped on the door...

Thedriver,

" Lth should take the cash why they can imo."

Thank you for your trading advice. However it comes a bit late. I took a handy 10% the other day, now waiting again...

cadell,

" There's been a lot of top slicing will stop soon. Personally, I'm in for the big pay-off which might take a year."

Hey! You been hacking my computer?

Nah, only joking. :-))

But I don't think what we're seeing now is the result of 'topslicing'. That's been and gone. Anyone who wanted to do that and wasn't getting out of bed early to check things during the days preceding the RNS was asleep at the wheel.

I think instead what we're seeing now is automatic stop-losses kicking in, plus also a bit of panic-selling by people who haven't been following the story closely. If you care to look at the simple SP chart for the last three years, it's showing a classic trend. Except there are a few more rabbits left in the hat, to be revealed soon.

The wolves were howling on the hills surrounding the fair town of Niort of late, so yeah, did a little 10% 'topslice' myself when the spike hit. And have no 'shame' in admitting that. I know of others who did the same: there's nothing like some free money, and the wolves have gone away. Even if (due to slowness) I only managed to get 61.5p, not the peak price. Not complaining, though.

Just hoping that when Warwick Deep comes in (nb 'when', not 'if', because that's the way my belief-set is working) plus CMD, the spike's a bit higher, because my percentage sell will be bigger.

And then just leave the rest at the back of the drawer for about a year, for takeover time or whatever.

Wellwell,

"EIA data out later. "

The temptation to put on an orange wig and say "Fake News!" is great...

Carry on deramping, you're doing a great job.
