Chambers - I was asking you in relation to what you wrote "The flow seems a bit start, stop to me."

I am assuming you are just writing about what you feel, as you have never done a well test before? I'm not trying to be rude, but when folk read this they may think there is previous work experience behind this statement.

Chambers - and which previous wells are you comparing this to?

PITW - I can't remember where I read it in the Angus document, but they said the test data wasn't shared.

To be honest drilling a well isn't rocket science. Used Good Oilfield Drilling Practices and you have set yourself up nicely. Of course there are unforeseen problems...drilling in one quadrant of a field can be more problematic if more stresses have been applied there.

The biggest issue I can see with UKOG is have they learned from their mistakes? At BB they made the same mistake twice which is not good, as well as not using the same procedures used by previous oil companies who have drilled in the area without issues. I would like to think they have spent this time doing a post job review and pin pointed operational / planning failures. The is standard within any oil company set up. You always strive to cut the cost and time it takes to drill a well.

And yes you learn so much from the first well you drill in a field. You can adjust your ROPs by using a different choice of bit, different fluid system, different mud weight, change the drilling assembly configuration, change the well profile, change the casing programme to case of problematic formations etc. It's almost like having crystal ball

Imac - as i just posted it would be great to review a drone video with the current set up on site. Things take longer when you have a well profile such as Brockham (again to folk please read my historical posts regarding this). Also being an onshore operation costs are much less than carrying out an offshore EWT where your costs can be 200 times more expensive. There time is money so all the fancy equipment is utilised to get the well flowing ASAP. Angus are carrying out a more cost effective way of getting the well to flow.

I think Chris Clay couldn't care less about records. Only folk on rigs who have egos are Geologists

PITW - if UKOG drill their horizontal well at 77.8 degrees then they will exit the chosen reservoir......horizontal is 90 degrees, but perhaps Vonk might tell SS 77.8 degrees lol

I don't think their is a good relationship between the 2 companies. UKOG did not share the well test information, so I doubt they will share other data.

I always said it could take to the end of January for a RNS. Lets see if that happens.

Another drone video today on Friday or Saturday would be great to see what is currently on site.

Jolifant - I think you have side tracked on to your own personal agenda? As I said previously spend some time reading historical posts to get you up to speed. All the best.

No nodding donkey is on BRX2Y = no production

Think of it as your TV is not plugged in and somebody asks what programme you're watching lol

I've already explained what is happening in multiple posts regarding the nitrogen. Folk need to start reading them and looking back at my historical posts as i can't keep replying to the same answers as folk are too lazy to do a bit of reading.

cor19n33 - I'm on days off....thats what happens when you work 1 month on 1 month off....sigh.

Jolifant - what an odd thing to say?

I guess you didn't know the pump has been sat on site since 5th December. I suggest you read my historical posts to get you up to speed with factual information.

Notification of intended use is completely different to seeking permission via an application.

Jimmi - no application form with boxes ticked / reasons for a change to the amendment.

So still waiting for this mysterious application form? Please post it on here for everyone to see. Thank you.

Jimmi - still waiting. Where is the application form then?!?! Can't get anything in life without an application form?

So I am interested in what you post.

Angus don't need permission to use a linear rod pump at Brockham. Why do you believe UKOG trolls / derampers? If permission was required then additional paperwork with boxes ticked and detailed reasons for why a pump was required would have been submitted as an amendment. But there is no additional paperwork listed on the councils website. Just a simple diagram of the site and specifications. There is no decision date. Why? Because there is no decision to be made.

https://planning.surreycc.gov.uk/planappdisp.aspx?AppNo=SCC%20Ref%202019/0002

Angus PI's have already confirmed with SCC that no permission is required to use the pump.

And lastly.....sigh.....they don't require it to displace the remaining fluid in the well as they are using nitrogen to flow the well.

No application has been submitted for the liner rod pump which is sat lying at the Brockham site on standby.

Angus PI's have already confirmed with SCC that no permission is required to use the pump.

Why do the trolls persist with this when its already been clarified? How strange?!?!

RA - they are using nitrogen to flow the well, so why would the pump being going on? Please don't post things that you have no experience about and more importantly no facts to back up your guess.

No...just proving a point. Lets see who offers the better information. Guesswork or facts.

gkb47 - from memory it was a letter published circa March 2017. And all it was was a general whinge from a green local or we suspected a local Councilor.

To make such a big song and dance out of a published letter is quite laughable.

Long term holders will remember that Angus appeared in Private Eye before. Why? They publish letters from the Public....Looooong sigh. Wow Public Eye!!!!!!! lol

Chambers - very simple answer. Hydrocarbons haven't come to surface yet. Nothing to do with the Tidswell throwing his toys out of the pram.

Tony - you normally post a twitter link....why have you stopped posting them?

No application for permission has been submitted as its not required as confirmed with SCC. Are you now calling into the question the integrity of the SCC planning committee as well now?
