Celtic, I am not going to filter you as I do not want to. There is nothing stating that I have to and nothing stating that I cannot critique your posts, I have not been personal about you, purely your posts. If you take offence to how your posts are received in a public forum, then you know what options you have.
Bickers, I frankly don�t care who trashes WS, I don�t post on there. Yes I may read it for opinion but I certainly do not want the negative posters to stop posting, so long as they are prepared to have sensible discussion and with Rainbow (as to whether he is Oma from other sites does not bother me) I have managed to have sensible dialogue even given his differing opinion in the company. It is certainly better to have discussions with people with opposed views to make sure that you are considering all angles.
I am certainly happy with the progress being made and hence my top ups at all-time lows, which I have made known as and when they have been made so I can�t be accused of being an after the event trader. You are clearly very bullish with Range and I find your post of interest, particularly your contact with Eva as you seem to get similar responses to similar questions I have raised of her in the past.
I do wonder whether the SPT is based upon the macro WTI value or the amount we recover from Petrotrin, as if the latter we would only now be breaking above the $60 level which starts to see profits increasing again as opposed to this being reached towards the end of 2017.
In regards to the world political issues at the moment. God only knows what the next step could be. And as for sanctions on Russia helping with WTI, I would be very surprise, it could possibly result in Russia sticking 2 fingers up to the world, turning the taps back on and crippling the oil price. This is unlikely but with Putin, would anything surprise you.
Luckily, with T&T and Indonesia, we are quite a way away from the troubles facing the world. Let�s hope the drop in BOPD was a �planned� one and not one due to poor geology. I note that Celtic comments that this could be fitting a water pump, something I had previously suggested, however, on further review, this would not likely result in such a massive drop off as the pressure that has been built up within the system (the aim of the waterflood) would not just be stopped pending fitting of a pump. I hope that they have maybe undertaken some works on some of the bigger producing wells to get them back into a stronger producing position.
It is a shame that the presentation did not come along with a more detailed ops update as the last one we had was Mid Feb when everything was going swimming (or so it seemed), so we are left with simple guesswork to see why the BOPD dropped off nearly 10% but the company did not see fit to update us to the reasons why.
We are in a position where we have to guess. I am confident of the future and am happy the
