Villa,

"social media such as twitter can spread harmful news at an alarming rate of speed"

An excellent point, but aren't we hypocrites, when that same social media recently catapulted our neighbours SP against a backdrop of arguably questionable, if any, fundamentals for our benefit? I suppose we can't have it both ways?

1. Great fundamentals, progress and with good news anticipated soon.
2. Last chance to get in?
3. Lots desperate to get in at the lowest possible price, having missed earlier opportunities.
4. A few nervous people freaked by a seemingly negative few weeks set against no. 1 above, especially given trend back from the 140s and some questionable Director selling and delays.
5. Negative macro-economic trends
6. Christmas presents to buy ........? ;-)

A 2-3 day wonder initiated by those whose tactics ought to be outlawed? Hopefully.
A buying opportunity? Time will tell.

Many with fingers burned on the 'sell' button? Hopefully not.

Lots of theories today - just my thoughts to add to the melee.

More contiguous acreage on the Dalton/TAPS and an extension of Theta West - all resulting in a potential resource upgrade.
The slight delay on clean out does not negatively impact the prospects.
What's not to like?

Blimey Brian, we are agreeing again! ;-) 478s and 483s would be a nice addition, contiguous with Alkaid, Talitha and the Dalton/TAPS.

I suspect they may now be a bit pricey given the PANR finds. Nice to have, but not necessarily critical.

Blimey Brian we actually agree on something ;-)

Sailplane,
Many thanks - helps to understand the science.

Sailplane,

Thanks for sharing.

Sailplane,
Many thanks for your explanation.

To the those with the technical knowhow -

I presume that like filling any crevice (in this case the frack cracks) there will be excess to clean up - is this the case with the sand?
Is it possible, as alluded to earlier, that the pressure of the well is forcing more sand back than anticipated?
If sand is being forced back, presumably it is not fulfilling its intended function of keeping the fracks open for flow - is this detrimental in the long term?

Blackadder,
Many thanks for the video - gives a sense of scale of the place. Good luck with this on your bucket list, I'd prefer somewhere a little warmer!! ;-)

12.38 Sailplane, thank you for a very interesting article.
I suppose the $64milion dollar question is in relation to the relative quantities of initial flow and the assumed longer term impact of longevity of flow. A significant decrease in the former with only a limited increase in the latter is going to reduce lifetime volumes, whereas if the opposite were true we would be looking at significant increases in expectations in the lifecycle of a well.
Do we have any evidence of the typically expected levels in sands at the tighter end of the porosity spectrum?

Such a wise old sage..........sometimes.............. ;-)

Seahawk,
Perhaps we just need to concentrate on the job in hand and hopefully some good results.
I agree with your points at 16.22. Was it an ill-advised aberration, was it a top slice to bank a little profit ahead of a lock-in? Who knows? Whichever, I agree that it doesn't instil a great deal of confidence.
Back to the job in hand...........

Thanks Rabito for the reminder. It was a great read the first time around and it gets better with age.

Blackadder,
Thank you.
Interesting that the new PM is talking of further North Sea gas development and use of fracking techniques here in the UK to exploit our natural resources. The anti-frac lobbyists in the UK appear to disagree with the points made in the video about non-contamination and the potential for fracking to trigger earth tremors/quakes. What are your thoughts?

Many thanks Olderwiser. A simple though very informative animation.

Touche!
Great retort ;-)
No arguments!

Keep taking the laxatives...............
I've so missed your erudition.

.......not forgetting the potential for a significant resource upgrade.

Squirrel26,
Many thanks for the link.
Great interview extolling the quality of the findings of Alkaid2 and the transformative nature.
Roll on news of next steps.
