Think that,s the whole idea of the testing, finding out the best set up for optimum flow rates and extraction.

This incident was quite embarressing to BP. The snippets we were getting were a few people to blame and sacked.
I have photos of it. If i remember properly they waited till the last minute to evacuate so can only assume as the platform was still at the commissioning stage, the functionality of some systems not been approved.
Main thing no lives lost.
Few stories about the Gulf of Mexico.. The general consensus with the yanks is the offshore industry is not an appealing industry and full of ex convicts..
That comes from USA Guys in the industry..
Us brits dont see it that way.
Still invested in BP and Shell. No inclination of selling anytime soon.

There was an almighty f..k up with Thunderhorse platform..
Our ship was part of the commissioning project..we were installing all the risers[pipelines] from the seabed to the platform.
We got told to run for cover as Hurricane Denis was approaching. We stopped work with the platform and headed for Galveston.
They evacuated all personnel from the platform and the platform was left unmanned.
On our approach to Galveston we got a change of orders[many people ****ed off as thought they were going to get a good jolly run ashore] and got told to return to the Thunderhorse as Hurricane Denis veered away from the Thunderhorse location.
When we got nearer the platform we couldn,t believe what we were seeing. The Thunderhorse was almost capsized..Luckily the sea was flat calm as the air vents were almost submerged.
They then used our ship as a stepping stone and base for the salvage team to pump out a flooded leg of the platform.
The platform gradually became upright. The damage i believe cost billions with the delay.
The reason for the trouble was whoever was responsible for leaving the platform unmanned in a safe set up had not set up the ballast system properly and ingress of sea water had flooded various compartments .
More to the story but believe the cost was eye watering.
Wonder if Looney was there then!!
Most of BPs disasters have been in USA areas..
makes you wonder

Exactly,
A little input from his take on the latest data gathered, which I believe PB mentioned XM was going to present..
Sure it was said in the 2nd last proactive video..

I follow Xavier Moonan on twitter expecting some insight of the geology where our drilling activity will take place.
All I see is old news, touchstone personnel employment records. Really non essential crap.
I get the feeling he has a lot of free time.
Maybe he has a multiple roles such as arranging the companies leisure activities, photo shoots, lottery syndicate..

Watching the situation in the Ukraine trying to way up will there be an invasion or not..
Discussing with a Chinese friend and asked what the Chinese news are saying about it.
The information i feel is something to ponder is the Chinese have not told their people in the Ukraine to leave..
The relationship between Russia/Chinese I feel Putin would give Xi Jinping the heads up to give time for the Chinese to leave the Ukraine
Time will tell
RNS showing on SHEL board..
Welcome to the renamed Shell
Gas prices increasing, mixed feelings about that..
Should be good for SP.

Surely this RNS must finalise the FDA approval..

As from after close friday. Working on £1billion
Approx money outstanding to buyback £352 million..
Been keeping a tally after each rns,d transaction announcement.

Just tried a bit of mental arithmetic on the buybacks.
I estimate bp have crossed the halfway line with over £0.5 billion used in 22 days worth of transactions, assuming they are all logged. As it stands if they keep buying at the same rate the buybacks could continue into the middle of October.
Then the build up to Q3 results.
Quietly confident the SP will rally on the build up to Q3 results

I am a Jock myself and enjoy reading fellow investors views and information that can influence my stake.
As for politics surrounding independence better not engage..
BUT I will say hope the jamtarts get pumped today...COYBIG.
Does this seem about right.
$500m share buy back each Quarter=£358 using figure 1.396 for exchange rate.
Yesterday 11875000 x Average price £3.027 = £36 million.
£298 million remaining to buy back shares this Quarter. Say buy Average price £3.06.
Therefore approx another 97.38 million shares can buyback for this quarter.
Does this seem right, hopefully they buy when they dip and keep an upward trend.
