you may well be correct somekindofnut I really don't know....I just assumed they would want to test systems before telling the world FPF1 is up and running ......it would look bad to say the least if they announced first oil was flowing then a few day later ...oops there is another problem. Either way not long to find out!

Hi DRUSS.....ok sound good....il go with Weds 1st Feb for RNS...... but I reckon oil will be flowing through the veins of the beast that is FPF1 a few days before that in the last few days in Jan. I'd guess they will want a few days light running before telling the market. Let the count down begin 👍🍻

Morning Vlad...can you show me where it say "end of Feb" as I can't see that in the RNS ...it just says " scheduled for Feb". The electrical issues are nearing completion (stated on 12th Jan)..... I doubt very much we are looking at another 6 or 7 weeks...the end of Feb for first oil.....no other problems mentioned.... but we all know the weather out there is pretty rough this time of year. Just a little sportsman bet if you like....my guess is we have oil flowing by first week in Feb....and we will be sitting around the £1.20 mark.

I'm not surprised colebrooke1972....I fully expect this over the £1.10 next week as we draw closer to the big day.

Malcy loves this stock...poster boy of the Bucket list he calls it......It's Definately on the 2017 list....too right. 📈

Its not me sarge questioning the integrity of the sub surface systems...ive got complete faith and believe the oil will be flowing at the end of Jan...1st week in Feb at the latest.

SS....There would definitely be a maintenance schedule in place for the sub surface pipework etc... remote cameras as well id guess.

sounds about right to me...within a few months our production will be at least double current levels...cap ex down... debt down...oil price up...( hopefully) We are the prettiest girl at the North Sea Dance! Whats not to like as Malcys said!

LOL...its the only way to be Doubler. If you think about it and the JB issue on FPF1 didn't occur... and we started pumping and extra 5k barrels back in the end of Nov...my guess is we would be at £1.20+ now and edging up and production ramps up....honestly mate.. I've seen it in the tea leaves :-0

personally I cant see us having to wait til end of Feb for first oil...first week in Feb at the latest...just my view and as for the £1.50 that will be here in April...depending on the OPEC games but all going well we should be ok.

...not being one to ramp and all that but I can see a nice big blue day coming here 📈 Another day closer to first oil

still on the up @56bucks....Saudis cutting again, Looks like they mean business... they really want this to work and get oil back into the 60's!

.....God give me strength.....set a buy rating & target 5p lower than the current SP. Who pays these clowns! ...they missed the £ off.

SS you old de ramper..they were 69k rollovers..... Another day closer to first oil!

I can see this @1.03/104tomorrow and a steady climb next week...first oil is a massive game changer and my sneaky feeling is oil will...,be flowing my end of this month!. They know this but just said FEB to leave a bit of slack incase anymore hiccups....its just my view.

No Delay SS...just proceeding cautiously is the name of the game....once flowing next week they will gradually open the taps ...20kpd flowing within 3 months.....YOU GOTA LOVE THAT! :-0 Come on SS ...spread the love....£1.50 by March

...up 2% and back over $56.....keep going!

I'm sure it will be much closer to 2 weeks than 4 ;-)

its worked well for them in the last year..they know what they are doing and this stock is only going one way this year and that's up!

...Ithaca Energy An operational update from IAE this morning, all will be revealed in the results but most things are going well here as one might expect. Production last year beat the guidance and this year is 19-22/- although Stella might improve that. Not in the short term as the start up has been delayed again but only to February but that makes no difference. The good news is that Harrier is now under way, a cheap development as it also uses FPF-1 and the GSA infrastructure. Opex is down 30% at $18 pb and net debt is falling too, this will only get better when the FPF-1 finally gets up and running. Still a top stock in the bucket list and a certainty to stay there, amongst the best in show.
