Camelot1 you say:-
"Would it surprise anyone if Origin and Falcon have a deal in hand with Inpex or more likely the Chinese"
I doubt it would be the Chinese, who have just signed a big LNG deal with Qatar ... and who are not too happy with the Australians at the moment anyway,

Does anyone have any concept as to how long it could take from sanction to first oil if (please God) it ever happens ?
Normally it would take 4 or 5 years, I guess, but being as how a lot of the work has already been done, does 3 years sound reasonable ?

If SeaLion ever gets going, HUR's AokaMizu FPSO would not be big enough ... I think it can only handle 30000 bpd whereas SeaLion will hopefully be at least double that.

The water cut is currently about 28% but that is not anywhere near to the world average of oil wells.
According to PetroWiki the average is about 70%. Maybe things aren't as bad as they seem !
"The present worldwide daily water production from oil wells averages roughly 3 BWPD per barrel of oil, although some wells produce significantly higher amounts. It costs money to lift water and then dispose of it. In a well producing oil with 80% water cut, the cost of handling water can double normal lifting costs. Yet, wells with water cuts in excess of 90% may still produce sufficient hydrocarbons to be economical (e.g., certain wells in the North Sea Shell Expro Brent fields and in the BP-Amoco Forties fields).

Good e-mail.
p,s, hope you remembered to replace the 3 kisses with your name.

The biggest problems with Sea Lion are the 3 Swords of Damocles ... Christina, Greta and Carrie.
Unfortunately, these 3 women have a lot of (far too much) influence.
1 Christina of Argentina will be a continuous pain in the neck.
2 Greta will get on her high horse if it goes ahead ... good to see that she won't be
coming to the big international Greenie meeting in Glasgow later this year.
3 Carrie (Mrs. Boris) will do her nut-nut if she finds out that he is helping to fund an oil field.

You obviously mean me when you wrote "One poster here asked a question that showed he hadn't understood the strategic significance of the FI in our new World."
That's just YOUR opinion.
I believe that the UK has absolutely no intention of increasing Military presence in the Falklands in the near future,
That's the last thing we need ... an excuse for the Argentinians to kick up an even bigger fuss.

Premier Chief Financial Officer Richard Rose said.
“They like Zama, and I fully anticipate that they will look to retain it and develop,” he said.

Recent report of some old news re. Catcher.
https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/north-sea/310096/fire-and-equipment-failures-hit-production-for-premier-oil-catcher-field/

The delay is a mixed blessing.
Good ... Harbour more likely to develop Sea Lion
Bad ..... Harder to sell Zama if it's going to take years to sort out with Pemex.

No agreement on Zama.

Zama still not decided.

That is an interesting article.
Another news item in the Penguin news reported on how the Argentinians tried to get FI badminton team banned from the Pan-Am games unless they changed their name to 'The Malvinas Badminton Team' .
Argentina is becoming even more childish and spiteful than the EU.

Could someone explain what is meant when it is said that the new company will become the largest 'Independent' Oil company in the UK.
Is BP not 'Independent' ?

Why would UKEF lend money to a Company that then pays out dividends .... doesn't make sense.

"that "fraud" is a scientific FACT. End of."
Are those scientific facts better than the ones that told us that, because eggs were full of cholesterol, they would give us all heart attacks ?
Or that margarine was better for our health than butter ?
Or that diesel was better than petrol because it created less CO2 ? That one turned out well didn't it, with all the extra particulate pollution that caused ?

Mike33 This was the comment made by someone living in Texas.
Ambrose,
As a Texan all I can say to you is come to Texas to meet your future!
I invite you and your family to come and join my family in our spacious home without lights, heat and water. But on one condition that you remain with us in this condition for 7 days.
How do we charge our EV with the windmills frozen! At least we have fuel stored in containers for our 'legacy' internal combustion engine vehicles. By the way the local grocery stores have run out of food. Fortunately I have numerous weapons by which I can protect you and your family when the angry mobs with even less come calling.
You will undoubtedly decline my offer.
As we say in Texas you are all hat and no cattle!
I cannot imagine what London, Birmingham and Manchester will look like when your 'green future' arrives. And it certainly will!
In that day you may just recognize that 'Green energy' (and global warming) is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on humanity!
You and your family, with millions of energy starved Britons, will be crying out for the reliability and low cost of coal, natural gas, oil, or even nuclear over the rigged market for disastrous 'green energy'
