Cebo,

"If indeed someone credible confirms that this was a smaller offload as Londoner suggest, then I suspect we will see another tanker back out there within a fortnight."

I hope you're right. I have very good reason to believe the load is approx 355,000 bbl. But sorry, not going to name my source.

I haven't had time yet to read all the other comments on today's RNS regarding the resignation of the CFO. But I just cannot see it as good news, because the timing is terrible. Just three weeks before the annual financial report, and a month before the CMD, where we may have expected Stobie to speak. It's unsettling, to say the least.

"Yup that confirms it. You’re a ****wit."

Thanks for the compliment, Wellwell.

But I bet I get a lot more fun living my f**kwit life, playing poker, being kissed on the cheek by young ladies, (though nothing more than that), STILL corresponding with people trying to try to find the certificate for the casing crossover which failed and led to the Macondo blowout, and so on, than I suspect you do. Plus drinking a lot sometimes, while getting together an upcoming exhibition of motorsports photos of mine which a local gallery wants to put on their wall. The following month it will be oilrig pics. Just to show off.

(Want to know why Aston Martin has chosen pink as the colour for their new F1 racer? People are wondering about it, but I know who's slept with who, and thus why.)

Heck, at my age, having fun is the bottom line. Money is secondary.

"Profound global strategising Adouble, unlike you to hit such a serious note."

Maybe unusual for me to comment in such a way, on a rather OT thing, but that's the way my mind works, and I don't mind writing about it if such a subject emerges.

Because the world economy is being 'hit' by this Coronavirus scare, and it 'hits' shareholders like myself.

That's what worries me. Not coming down with the 'flu. Nor (if push comes to shove, dyeing of pneumonia. There are worse ways to go.

From a distance, I'm more interested (and worried) about people in England having their houses flooded, and stuff like that.

Wellwell,

"That’s the one. In response to your lovely opinions. "

Ok, apologies about 'rant' last night, but as you and I know well, gas re-injection in Lancaster is a non-starter.

Nice to see more 'tech' stuff coning back onto this BB.

Got thrashed like a dog at my little local poker game so now have to go online to try catchup. More later.

What's luck got to do with it?

Wellwell,

Which one? The one telling me to go f**k myself?

Don't be in a hurry to reply, I've got to rush and (hopefully) make some money.

Dear Missdosh,

"Petroatlantic expected at Wilhelmshaven refinery with an ETA on the 28/02/20. Still showing a cargo of 61.000 MT."

Thanks! But now we've got a 'shipwatchers' race' to have fun with! Someone on the PetroAtlantic is either lazy, pushing the wrong buttons, or something's broken. Because that ship has been showing 61,000 metric tonnes load for weeks now.

Who's going to be the first 'shipwatcher' to find out the real tonnage?

I'm out this evening in about half an hour to take part in a little poker game which will go on until about three in the morning, so won't be looking at my phone to check the Wilmenshaven website. But I sure will when I get home...

(*_*)

Longwait,

"I just read an article about the virus and world economy.... after finishing reading it, I looked out of the window to check the world was still there."

Yup, still there, in all its Orwellian glory!

Strange how thing pan out, isn't it? A flu-like virus originates in China, which although most people who catch it just get a cold or some 'flu, some others (probably with a weak immune system) develop pneumonia and die. A few thousand so far over a couple of months when in the same period of time at least 100,000 people will have died in road traffic accidents.

The media (these days 'uncontrolled' ) goes into a spin, telling people 'not to panic'. Which of course causes people to think they're smarter than the media, and... panic.

One result? The economies of the Western Democratic Capitalist countries worldwide (as represented by their stockmarkets) go into tailspin. The price of oil plummets.

But at the same time, with a retreat into 'safe havens', the price of physical gold goes up (Something I'm personally taking advantage of!)

Who has been the biggest buyer / stockpiler of physical gold over the last three years or so? China. Who is prepared to deal oil directly for gold? China, Russia, and certain middle-eastern countries. Who stands to lose the most from cheap Chinese imports like motor-industry parts? That place called 'The West', not the Chinese factory-workers where the plant has been shut down, 'cos they're paid a pittance anyway and have probably got a chicken or two running free in their appartment-block bathroom to lay some eggs, or to kill and roast when push comes to shove.

There's a lot more than this whole thing than just another virus. And it ain't a 'killer disease' like Ebola, which is a very nasty thing indeed.

Writing on phone so can't insert quotes.

But wrt Brexit. The UK IS now out, irrevocably, and yes, changes have already happened for some people.

I live in France, and could vote in local or national elections, had I wished to (which I don't). Now I cannot (which doesn't bother me a bit!).

There's at least one 'commune' in France with a British mayor, and countless others with British people on the council. Unless these people have applied for, and already obtained either dual-nationality or Frech citizenship, they willl not be able to stand in municipal elections, which are in acouple of weeks' time.

No doubt the same applies in other EU countries.

Wellwell,

I was just about to go to bed after a very long day doing uproarious things which I don't feel any need to elaborate about here, especially given the Harvey Weinstein trial result , which pleases me enormously, but I couln't help noticing this:

"Injection of gas alters the very reservoir behaviour they are trying to model."

Now that, my man, is an utterly bull***t phrase.

Cut out the bull.

Gas injection would be downright dumb. Where would it be injected into? What good would it do?

F**k that 'reservoir behaviour they're trying to model bulsh'.

Gas re-injection into FB is just a stupid idea. Period.

Quote from our friend johnpwh.

". Revenue by itself is pretty meaningless. "

I think this BB is really going downhill.

Sure, positive cashflow from offloads of oil from Lancaster haven't yet put Hurricane in PROFIT overall. But they're doing a lot better than x numbers of other companies with no incoming revenue whatsoever.

Longwait,

"I realise that I am running the risk of being accused of ramping"

Not in the eyes of anyone reasonable, you aren't. This board is recently overwhelmed with 'derampers' (which by rights is against LSE 'posting rules' but seems to go unnoticed by the moderators) whereas I see few people saying 'buy now!', which might be construed as 'ramping'

I'm just keeping calm, wishing that the bank would hurry things up so i've got the cash to top up at this ridiculously low price, but not encourageing anyone else to do the same, 'cos I'm not a 'ramper'.

But I do know a gift horse when it's looking me in the teeth. The current SP is insanely low.

fang2,

"So, that's a 'no' then. Figured someone might know off the top of their head to save me doing oudles of research. "

Yup, gas injection isn't part of the equation.

"(thought that was what this forum was for, but hey let's just leave it all to the twat's from the asylum)"

This forum used to be like that, but has been recently invaded by escapees from some sort of loony-bin. Up to you how to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Wessexmario,

Sorry, I missed your first bit.

"I can't believe that there's been so little counter to the nonsense that dssp is posting there. "

That's not true. There has been plenty. Not just on BB's, but from the company itself.

Though hang on, TheLemonFool isn't a BB as such. It's a privately-owned site, of which Dspp is a 'moderator', and which became (as mentioned by myself a few weeks ago) a limited company back in November.

feelinlucky,

"AM getting a seeing to by Petroatlantic!"

Roger, roger...

Wessexmario,

Good to see you back, sorry to see we got a bit cross-threaded the other day, but no sweat.

"He's(Dspp) either continuing to try to spook everyone (in which he's probably having a little success, as they seem to be lapping it up rather than constructively criticising it), or (and I'm coming to think more likely now) he's just still frantically trying to convince himself that he isn't suffering from cognitive bias and that his improbable and unproven hypothesis is right. "

I've followed your ongoing discussions on TLF. And I'm glad to see that you now appear to reckon that the fermongerer is fighting something of a rearguard action, even (as 'moderator' of that site) moving the 'bonds issue' (what issue?) to a different place, so more difficult to find.

Regarding his latest posted graph, it is in regard to a completely different geographical locality, and completely different geology. So like comparing apples to watermelons. Furthermore, there was absolutely no mention of the source from which such 'data' were obtained, so the thing is worthless.

Some people here mention this share having been 'manipulated' and beaten down to its current level by persons unknown, with a similarly unknown agenda. (Though it's sure that making money for themselves is not unconnected with that plan.) And others have pointed out that the current valuation of Hurricane's real estate is essentially zero. Which is ipso facto absurd.

But of course, the 'trolls' and fearmongers continue their crusade, trying to convince people that HUR is some sort of scam run by liars and incompetents, out to steal money from ignorant PI's.

Sure, there are any number of those around on AIM. But I don't think Hurricane is one of them.

WWN,

Good post. Or rather, posts.

Your later one:

"No firm idea how the potential P&A and OGA well will be funded - best guess is 50/50 but that has to be confirmed"

I've been wondering about that, as well. But of course it's a big 'if'. Until we see the rig actually heading there, we won't know whwther the P&A is going to happen or not. If yes, I suspect it'll be on Spirit's tab, though could be 50/50, as you say. Things appear very uncertain about the continuation of the JV, but will no doubt be clarified at the CMD.

"I personally would like to see HUR concentrate on Lancaster. If they can do the minimum to hold onto GWA really cheaply then fine, but if not we should park it quickly."

Can't say I entirely agree with this. Again, we don't know the situation with Spirit, but even if they walk away, GWA ought to be kept at almost any cost, because despite the naysayers who consider WW to have been a 'duster' (which it wasn't), the thing's an obvious 'field', even just judging by Lincoln alone.

What I'm really wondering is how long the CMD's going to take? There's a lot of ground now to be covered. But an all-afternoon thing might be too much for both the speakers and the attendees.

drillordrop,

Oh, you've woken up again have you? That was a fast nap. Or do you often have these sudden 'falling asleep moments'? Maybe you should see a doctor about it, and avoid driving.

" How much have you made on paper? Oh. But that’s not the point is is."

In the past I've made quite a few thousands profit through trading this thing. But currently, yes, my holding is showing a 'paper loss', but I'm a patient person, and I know that it'll show as a profit again. At which point I might make a trade or two.

So my 'paper loss' ISN'T really the point for me, right now. What IS the point for me, today, is how much I won at the poker game. OK, just a few hundred, but it was in rather convivial company, filled an miserable and grey Sunday afternoon, and it's always nice to make a bit of tax-free cash.

Oh, and I may be old, but not exactly lonely. Finally a longstanding misunderstanding has been cleared up, so on the 50-mile drive to and back from the game I had the company of a lady 25 years younger than I (another player) in the passenger seat of my car.

I think everyone should note from drillordrop's latest post that he's incapable of reading two sentences without falling to sleep. Way back in the past, he'd have been labeled the classroom dunce and sent to stand in a corner, facing the wall.
