Blimey! Subtitles are now available.
The result is similar to my first attempt which was part English, part Portuguese :O)
I think my translation was good. I wonder if Mr Moagi will be good enough to like an English speaker.

I have wasted 90 minutes trying to get the captions on Eric's speech.
Then I found that if the speech is too slurred they don't generate them!
Or it can take a long time.

Here is the extracted bits - less than 2 minutes- maybe the symbol will come up later?

It would help if I provided the missing link :O)

Each podcast needs processing individually but the whole text can be extracted from more or less any language.

I am playing around to see if I can automate a slow manual procedure, especially on long podcasts!

I've create a very short one here.
To see how accurate the translation is , go to the box on the left side of the HD/Settings button and click it for subtitles before pressing play!

("Favourite" is an error because I the video his actual words were incomplete at the end.)

I also found a few red herrings like this .. first from username, bank from bankroll. :O)
I searched pages 1 to 50.

RE: Technical Analysis Tuesday 19 Nov '19

I haven't mentioned any figures so I assume you're asking how much would YOU have to trade to make £500 a week and by this do you mean how much time would you need? Or how much bankroll? Or how many trades? Because your bankroll size will determine how much you can risk per trade, which in turn will determine how many trades you need to make and how much time you need to spend doing it. Also appetite for risk... until I know your bankroll to make this hypothetical £500 I can't really expound.

Two posts came up on search for both words first and bank.
Both chukkers

So 15th December could your original post?

Has anyone noticed that a typo in the subject line guarantees it will start a thread :O)

Tony recently said on a very recent podcast that people had been to the site and seen gas production and flares for themselves. I think he was referring to ministers but it may have been a wider group.

Shame I cannot search audio.

I have posted this on ADVFN where MM was ridiculed by the usual idiot , i.e.
"What he didn’t tell you is the funding is to be used for promotion of tourism, manufacturing and services sectors. But hey - he is the clever oak cheerleading on Twitter".

When is he going to stop lieing instead of accusing others of doing it?

QUEENSLAND Gas has made a lot of smart moves in recent years, but the smartest was early this month when it signed up its visionary managing director Richard Cottee for at least a further six years at the helm. Cottee yesterday demonstrated why that is the case with a shrewd $830-$890 million agreed bid by QGC for one of its neighbouring CSG (coal-seam gas) hopefuls, Sunshine Gas.

Then I found this .... https://resourceglobalnetwork.com/portfolio_page/tlouenergy-2/
For newcomers , good background stuff, though I cannot see when it was written.
Late 2018 maybe from the reference to Q2 2019?
I like the way the story is consistent going back in time.
The move from bottling gas (or piping it) for third parties to use has changed but not a lot else.
Creating a power plant to generate electricity added two dimensions to the project, generation and distribution of electricity, plus the need to have a steady supply of gas to avoid outages.

TLOU never made a fuss about that at all .... cool!

Just noticed that you can delete your recommendation by clicking it again!
Ticked Damo and it went from 2 to 1 cos I was one of the 2. Clicking again restored the 2.

Just had a light bulb moment!
If dewatering is quick then it probably means that water and gas have been escaping for thousands of years!
If it is slow then both gas and water have been trapped all that time!
No wonder excellent gas flows usually follow long/slow dewaterings!

GpT is also known as Bucklerfern and Donk imho.
He is much more moderate on HC than our boards.

https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/ann-half-year-report.5245975/

There is very critical poster on HotCopper.

He has just prompted this response from another (not me) ..... contains a few aspects of TG's history that I have not heard before .... and the final sentence definitely not!

"Hold up bud.

you're talking about the person who has invested more cash than any other individual. The same person who worked for free for a yr. Then 1/2 rate for a yr . Thats 750k he has additionally sacrificed for everyone else's dilution. And is only on a modest CEO rate for most ASX gas explorers.

if you knew anything about csg you would know the longer to dewater means higher flow rates. QGC fields took 3+ yrs to dewater"

Gee whizz! Dynamite! I tried to find video coverage of Mr Moagi because he looks impressive (and reasonably young for a minister) and I wondered if he sounded as he looks.
He reminds me of John Over , deputy chief constable of Dorset Police yonks ago.
I met him for the first time in a high powered conference between us , the Home Office and Plessey , who wanted to to back oout of the computer project. I was computer manager for my technical skills rather than managerial capacity. A debate between me and Plessey ensued until I got to the end of my tether tbh!
At that point John took over , pardon the pun, gave me a wink and summed up what we'd said.
We won hands down and I'll always admire his style. It did not take long before he was appointed chief constable of Gwent Police. I'll never forget that day and I cannot help putting myself in TG's shoes when he is derided on chatrooms. He acquits himself very well imho - looks very honest but always has to me.
A techie with the gift of the gab is very rare from my experience.

Thanks MM if I needed reassurance we are in good hands (both men) then that is now more abundant than our gas flows.

MM are you being serious or on a wind-up?
I'd have expected you to state that you were given permission to repeat the content of said discussion and without that it looks like a joke, as did your post "Quote me" which I definitely thought was tongue in cheek.

Tried to find a video to hear his presentation skills.

Nearest I got was this .... a reporter reporting Mr Moagi's announcements. Gas to liquid comes before cbm!

NE I have just had a thought after your earlier post ....

"One thing of note for me was when I was listening to the interview today my other half was busy in the room and made a simple comment, based purely upon what she heard, she couldn't see the screen, with no prior knowledge of TG or TLOU, that, 'he sounds like a salesman'. Did make me think."

Is she a good judge mate ? :O)

You've got laugh after Arsenal had a match won with 1 minute to go - then they gave away a needless corner from which Olympiakos scored the away goal that beat them! The Greek fans will have a wonderful journey all the way home (to Soho?) . Plates will be smashed tonight!

No offence taken or intended NE - and I agree Chukkers , the timetable raised all our expectations and when they were dashed , TLOU produced some more to be questionable.

To my mind, it would be stupid to do it a third time , and TG has done just that by indicating the plan is to complete a tranmission line this year. The emphasis is on the word 'plan' , he is recognising it needs financing to go well, it is not a promise (but neither were the previous timetables to be fair).

He is certainly not stupid, so it is that third timetable (albeit a single item) which makes me believe the talks about financing are not as gloomy as many fear. To have a chance of completing 100km of power lines this year suggests talks will not not takes as long as the dewatering might take from here.

I hope it is not Sertraline that gives me my confidence in Tony.
He is undoubtedly a bit of a salesman but unlike most salesmen he knows the product he is selling inside out from a working lifetime in petrol and gas at a very senior level. And his success with gas is 100% on previous ventures.

I may not need to worry for long - the two senior schools nearest my home were both closed today due to the risk of coronavirus. My BP today was 96/61 which my machine is normal.
So it looks like it is working and because I was out of bed and sat on the settee.

Botswana will have accepted that TLOU will provide electricity as a given, agree to finance the transmission lines and progress towards increased gas by various means.

That is what 'going along with it' is intended to mean NE.

The priority until now has been gas flows!

Now it is getting the transmission lines to Serowe done this year!

How much difference does there have to be for people to wake up to the truth.

If Botswana go along with that sequence of events it is ginormous!
It means the gas flows are a foregone conclusion - just a matter of time and definitely not years after the transmission lines are rusty.

If Botswana don't go along with it then TG will have put his head in a noose and alienated the whole of Botswana for long enough to destroy TLOU! He'll have taken a huge liberty talking finance for transmission lines whilst apparently taking the govt for granted.

Listened to all 15 minutes twice.
I love the way Andrew Scott aaks every question you'd hope he would, all answered with an assurity that is plausible.
So TG is in Botswana - that gives a hint there are lots of talks to be had.

It sounds like the water is being drawn from a sizeable distance away from the vertical well , and beyond. This confirms the belief that the dewatering of future wells will be more straightforward.

I found a nice article earlier. It contradicts claims that other companies are advanced of us because of the number of vertical wells they are drilling. It is worth a read unless you are a proponent of the 'TG doesn't know what he is doing' brigade. He is , yet again, supported by the evidence from elsewhere.
