johnpwh,

Crikey, and I thought it was I who was supposed to be this BB's resident nit-picker! OK, have it your own way, I'll demur. Medium-term it is. :-)

Driver,

"Oil is the past."

That's nonsense. Oil is the present, and also the near-term future while viable alternatives are being developed.

el19,

The FT link is subscription only. What's the article header, so we can google it?

WW,

Maybe you should check this out:

"Deep six your wristwatch,
Try and understand,
That the time it seems to capture is just the movement of its hands...

We know you're BP-related, but time will catch up, sometime.

Evasiveness about past mistakes won't redeem bad decisions going forward.

Wellwell,

PS I don't give a fig about Venice, neither. Someone else's problem.

Wellwell,

"There’s been no significant rainfall in south Australia for months....same happened in CA. Meanwhile in Venice record rainfall and flooding. Actually do you know what, **** it there’s no point arguing with people like you. I guess if this side of the earth is broken we can just flip it over and live on the other side aye?"

C'mon, listen to me, 'cos I've said it before, and don't like repeating myself.

I PERSONALLY DO NOT CARE A FIG ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.

What interests me here is discussion about how Hurricane's operations are going, and whether being a shareholder might make me some money.

Wellwell,

"What’s the worst that can happen if Climate change isn’t real? What’s the worst if it is?"

What's the worst? Listening to utter dumb-twat idiotic questions like that. Of course climate-change is real. It's happened in various ways for billions of years.

'Conventional' oil-thinking is that crude is formed by the breakdown of organisms long-extinct and 'cooked'. Of course, there is another (much-derided except by the Russians) but parallel theory of non-biogenic oil, proposed by the late Prof Thomas Gold.

I DON'T CARE about climate change. If it didn't change, this planet would be a very boring place to live on.

Take it while you can. Tomorrow won't be like today, and yesterday's gone.

What bugs me about this whole Greta Thumbsuck idiocy is the inability to accept that the planet is edging into a seemingly 'warm' period, but instead of PREPARING for living with such conditions, some people are trying to 'fight against it'.

Won't work. The beloved planet is a bigger organism than all of us are. And anyway, feeds off us, to see what next weird organism turns up on her surface.

Remember the dinosaurs, RIP.

Ants rule.

DK,

" next the rebellion or extinction movement or whatever they call themselves will be calling for half the earth's human population to be culled "

I am not a supporter of 'extinction rebellion' nor their ilk, but if they issue a manifesto expressing such a view, I might come round to their way of thinking.

The problem revolves around who gets 'culled'.

"she was selected, trained and put in the public eye by a secretive organisation called the 'Club of Rome"

Was that the same group that backed Cicciolina for a place in Italian politics?

LS,

"one thought I have is whether Dr T would be able to conduct his talk next Thursday at the Scottish Oil Club whilst having to carefully remember not to disclose any details or blush when asked about 'read across' with Lincoln ?"

Very good point! Oh to be a fly on that wall.

Will anyone here be there to ask the question?

DC,

"When I spoke to NP about the GWA drills apart from asking why they changed the order of drills. I also asked about the gauges and whilst I cannot remember his exact words he did indicate that it may take some time for read across to register. Bear in mind that LC and WW are quite some distance apart so the absence of comment in the RNS should not be regarded in any way as negative."

Yes.

I don't have much knowledge of the exact kit Hurricane has in place, but if the gauges in Lincoln aren't 'direct telemetry' and they're not watching the data, I'll eat my hardhat. It's one thing I find rather impressive about the company, and rare for a little independent. Everything they do and use appears to be state-of-the-art, despite the cost.

I've got this real gut-feeling that some sort of read-across between LC and WW has been seen. Caused by what, I don't know. But it's a good explanation for the 'leaks' implying a 'big find'.

Heck, now I think about it more (though it might be an utterly mad thought), it might not be anything to do with WW, but maybe the extreme underbalance exerted on WD during that DST which failed to flow 'commercially'.

It takes a long while for ripples to spread across a pond, especially if they're just small ripples. But those gauges are hyper-sensistive. Think back to results from Lanc 7, and the way the techies were so delighted that even during DST they could pick up pressure changes due to the tides?

Nah. Now I come to think of it, the less I think that the WW RNS will mention the Warwick / Lincoln 'connection'. Better to leave it for the CMD.

But everything points in that direction.

However, before I get accused of appearing too 'rampy', believing in GWA being one big field doesn't necessarily carry over to the 'Lanfax connection' hypothesis. Simply because of geographical distance on Lanfax, and that part of the Rona Ridge is of different morphology to GWA.

johnpwh,

"Lastly could I just point out that I wasn't calling Ms Thunberg a little annoyance in my last post. "

Well if you won't, I will.

Genghis,

This is 'part 2' referring to your same post.

"Yes, the result RNS will be very interesting. I'm not relying on it dropping Monday, tho, with all the connectivity checking they will want to do with both LC and the EPS, it could take a little longer."

Again (sorry) I disagree once again. In their previous RNS, Hurricane told us they'd inform the market of results of the Warwick West DST.

I admit to having instigated speculation here about a possible 'read-across' to Lincoln, though it's quite possible that others were thinking the same thing at the same time. It's a not-illogical thought, and has spread to other BB's. But there's absolutely no reason why Hurricane should feel obliged to mention it when reporting simply on the DST result. Even if it's true. Sure, it'd be icing on the cake, but don't neccessarily expect any mention of the subject. I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait 'til the CMD for that sort of thing.

This is the last well of the current campaign, so all we can now solidly expect is a post-DST RNS, and another announcing demob of the rig. Anything else will be 'extra'.

Genghis,

"However, I'm not even banking on that ; Spirit are paying for these drills, and I suspect we are marching to their music, not our own Doctor's."

I disagree with you. Hurricane remains the Operator, and as such calls the shots. Spirit's personnel may be responsible for the 'leaks', though... ;-))

johnpwh,

"is this flare on WC definitely confirmed by someone regarded as a reliable chap/ chapess?"

Other than 'Diego', who seems reliable, there's someone else who posts here whom I personally trust has confirmed flaring on WW, so that's good enough for me.

Also I don't think Bernstein, despite having the integrity of a pit-viper, would have retweeted a photo saying it was WW unless he'd checked the source.

SG2,

" Could the intrigue/ interest of recent weeks be that Comms to Lancs have been observed?"

Pigs are not generally known to fly.

Yobbo,

"Its many, many years since I was occasionally involved with well tests (from a nice warm office onshore), but I recall they normally flare continuously for about 24 hours on a DST, and then shut it down to do various tests to check the rate at which the reservoir recovers / communicates which may involve re-lighting the flare again a few times ?"

Seems like nobody's been kind enough to respond to your post, but yes, your recollections are correct. Flow periods (usually involving changes in choke size) interspersed with shutin pressure buildup intervals. Depending on what's being observed, and how the DST's been planned, shutins may be just as long as flow periods, so lack of a flare for several hours doesn't mean anything negative.

Hercule,

Bull's Blood? Crikey, that brings back 45-year distant memories!

EV,

"looks like you have been drinking the crude today"

Certainly not. I haven't descended to those depths (yet). When it comes to things I drink, I'm strictly vegan.

Genghis,

"I saw the Twitter posts around that. Now, I don't know on what basis those were posted, or how even HUR/Spirit geos could be reading field size from data pre DST on WW."

I didn't see the twiller posts, other than what was re-posted here and elsewhere. But (as per previous post) I immediately thought of the gauges installed on Lincoln. Had some 'pressure transient' event occurred on Warwick that had been picked up by the gauges, and word got out? I can think of one or two things that could cause a 'pressure transient', but won't go into detail.

This is pure hypothesis and 'armchair drilling' of course, and may be way off the mark. But the rumours regarding SIZE did intrigue me...
