One for Yuyus!

The other day over on the HUR board you mentioned the presence of a couple of Ensco rigs at dockside somewhere near your neck of the woods. A bit later I went onto Googlearth and there they are! The 70, the 101, and (I think) the 120. The 101 is now out in the Ekland field, but according to the Ensco website she's contracted for two wells September onwards, so it's not impossible that she'll be the one for Corallian's Colter and Wick. Sure, there's been no RNS yet about a firm contract having been signed, just the LOI, but nevertheless...

Any likelihood of you being able to pick up any rumours or scuttlebutt emanating from the dockside?

Sure, RBD has more irons in the fire than just Colter, but it'd certainly be nice to know how that project is progressing. Q3 isn't too far away, now.

What with all the O/T, I think we missed a small movement (?) of the FPSO on Sunday. Just a few tens of meters during a twenty-minute period. Nothing so spectacular as the boat's 65-knot trip to downtown Dubai ten days ago, but nevertheless at one point she shows as having climbed on top of the quayside, so I suspect it's just another false AIS reading. Back where she ought to be, now!

It occurs to me that the AIS signal could be deflected or otherwise show incorrectly due to nearby crane movement or something like that. And the AIS beacon appears to be located somewhere close to (maybe on?) the flare-tower. Maybe 'Tarkers' might drop us a line here sometime with any updates he may have seen.

"just pijoe and it'll be a full house."

Or a Royal Flush...

Snail,

Bien, merci! Et toi?

The Hurricane SP is showing slightly blue, and nobody's commented on that!

Arbitrader,

"yes a deadline, AFTER which something may happen."

Yes. But nevertheless the sterling exchange rate can be directly attributed to what's already happening. Or at least, that's my humble opinion. Seen objectively, the image of the UK right now is that of a circus 'governed' by sad-face clowns. With an 'opposition' presenting no happier an alternative. The roads are liable to break your axles, the trains when they're running don't do so on time, the prices make beer a luxury item, you spend more time in jail for fly-tipping rubbish than robbing a man's house, and people who decide they're of the opposite sex to that they were born are treated with more respect than royalty.

Or at least, that's the image projected.

Think of the words of the lawyer in 'The Long Good Friday' when he and his mafia boss are checking out of the hotel: "Your country's a mess".

That's a shame, because it's the country where I was born and bred, and I'm proud of that fact. But it's true,
nevertheless. The term Perfidious Albion has never applied better than at present.

Mind you, I live in France, which is a police-state, so no better. But it projects a better image, and I don't live in constant fear of someone nicking my phone. And a country is like a company: image counts for a lot. And who will invest in a company which has a bad image?

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Artrader,

"as a lot of seem to forget; nothing has happened yet."

I beg to disagree with you, in that Article 40 was 'triggered', and thus there's now a deadline.

A couple of weekends back the habitual O/T turned to politics and Brexit,which made for depressing reading! But given that this BB is about shares, investing, and the 'market', I don't think that Boyzee's question is so O/T, even so.

I live in France, so see the entire thing from a certain distance. Nevertheless I follow UK news closely, and consider Boyzee's labelling of the 'Brexit Issue' as a 'shambles' is quite correct. And I think it will get worse.

Personally I'm very wary about talking about 'the market' as though it were some hydra-headed beast with which one's in constant battle. Because as a PI shareholder I'm part of that market, and thus my own actions may affect it, even in a miniscule 'butterfly effect' way.

The Brexit thing has already had an impact on my own investments (including HUR) simply due to the drop in exchange value of sterling against the euro. And it hurts. And when something causes me to feel pain, I think twice about approaching the thing that's hurt me already, and do so in a rather wary manner. I don't think I'm the only person to behave that way. So without any particular evidence to support this, I nevertheless suspect that Brexit and the pitiful shambolic 'politics' currently reigning in Britain is off-putting to foreign investment, particularly at this time of year.

Mind you, other than countries like Laos and Outer Mongolia, most of the rest of the world seems to be behaving in a pitifully childish shambolic manner as well...

Someone was offering 250,000 shares, so I've just bought 'em on 'spot' price.

My first post here, but I've got sick of hearing about Reabold and not having a bit of the action!

pijoe,

"Must go now to Greggs for a slap up brunch ( stake bake AND sausage roll).."

And then people wonder about this 'obesity problem' in the UK.....................................

Dear Missdosh,

"Greetings from somewhere in the North Sea."

This evening, go all-in with 10-2 offsuit on the button! And show the hand afterwards. It worked for me the other night (did it for a bet with my local tavern-proprietor who didn't reckon I'd dare to), and people treat you with incredible deference afterwards.

Though in your case they probably already do...

(*_*)

pijoe

In btwen all the noise. Which is nic, by the way.

"the Jamaica area has real interest..but is the equity % sufficient? "

Yes. Look at the BoD. Not idiots.

Tullow.

Ricfle,

"What do you think UOG is doing in California or Romania?"

Eff All!

That's why I'm in UOG and not in RBD.

What is RBD doing offshore Jamaica?

Over to you...

Ricfle,

"What do you think UOG is doing in California or Romania?"

Eff all, thank God!

What's RBD doing in Jamaica?

Genghis,

"Apologies to others for continuing the OT, we should really all go over there to carry this on. It would certainly raise the tone over there."

Yes, agreed. And already an interesting O/T weekend discussion here for once.

See you on one of those BB's, or maybe not, or at least not too frequently! This place is enough to keep track of already.

Ridfle:

""You are what you is and a cow does not make ham."

Call any Vegetable. LOUD AS POSSSIBLE. Maybe Fillmore '73 version.

Ricfle,

"You are not getting my point, there are three prospects with six drills this year."

Yeah. In California.

And that's why I haven't bought in yet.

Big deal.

pijoe,

"the only downside for me is the malcy promote (who works on pies consumed in my view provided by others)..but i think more believe him to impart good info than bad..so irritating as it may be then no bad thing to wealth creation as a shareholder."

Lovely! Thanks, man.

If I 'take a punt' on RBD, it will be nothing more than that. Heck, I like 'quick money', and take it and run when I can. Why not 'join the herd' from time to time?

Effit, to quote the late Frank Zappa, 'We're Only in it for The Money'.

Ricfle,

" before you disagree look at the dog that is UKOG and the PI support it gets."

I'm afraid you must have somewhat misunderstood my intelligence, oilfield understanding, and sanity, come to that.

I'm not sure about the 'PI's' who are into Udog.

The thing is, it's a whopping opportunity for 'fast traders' who can trade on an hour-to-hour basis, taking advantage of the people who think a 250-bbl tankerfull of crude leaving a wellsite is the greatest thing since sliced bread.. There are one or two of 'em here! (Those taking advantage, that is.)

But I'm not in that happy situation, so I don't.

Despite our frequent disagreements, Ricfle, I didn't just drop off the back off the pumpkin truck, and I suspect you didn't, either.
