It could be Heather Knutsen for #15 - she is reported by Marine Traffic to be on her way from Rotterdam to Scapa Flo. The data indicates that she has a load but as she has come from Rotterdam this is unlikely - also she is not expected at Scapa Flo so she could be actually going to Kraken or another oil field ????

No sign of the next tanker at the moment - also no sign of tanker approaching Scapa Flo for the transfer.

My AIM favourite is Ceres - fantastic potential but DYOR.

The important thing from the shareholders point of view is the larger holdings that have an influence on the SP. Unfortunatly both Shorttracker and Euroclear give us a misleading picture but they do give us the best view we are able to get, especially if the data from both is taken into account. Th problem with shorts is the adverse way that they effect companies with potential and they will probably be a problem here until production starts.

Tullow 7.28% PMO 12.03%

I think shorttraker would be much more useful if it provided data down to 0.2%. Euroclear on the other hand probably as you say gives us an overinflated percentage. The true figure maybe closer to 3-4% - I guess ???

Euroclear gives the data for ALL shares out on loan - so this would include not just the shorts over 0.5% but everyone with a holding below that, even private investors who are shorting the stock. I would guess the April figure is an average for the month ???

Euroclear have updated the shorts for April. SXX has risen over 2%. March was 8.67%. April was 10.7% https://my.euroclear.com/apps/en/monthly-stock-loan-data.html#month=eq:5&year=eq:2018&limit=0&search=1 Log in as guest select April for info.

Shorts for April from Euroclear virtually unchanged at 4.54%.

Using the link that Matrix posted last week we have an update for shorts in April. They are slightly up on March at 4.88% - March was 4.63% https://my.euroclear.com/apps/en/monthly-stock-loan-data.html#month=eq:4&year=eq:2018&limit=0&search=1&order=asc:abbreviation Log in as guest and select April 2018

The SP movement is another matter and just a short term extreme aggravation. The priority has to be to cut down on debt and that means high POO - simply try and forget the rest. There must be an equation for debt falling and SP rising - anyone any good at maths ???

Could be an interesting evening for POO, although the EIA inventories were not great, it does look as though US interest rate rises will now be less than anticipated a few days ago. How these two factors balance along with Trump and Iran will I think come to a head quite soon and POO will soar.

That depends on the Iranians - they may just walk away from the deal if Trumps veto's it.

Good figures from BP today have pushed the SP to a five year plus high. Sentiment is changing in the oil sector - should be us next !!!

Hello Watching The more you read the better it gets but DYOR. SP has been close to 15p. I guess CWR is fully priced on paper but that doesn't include the potential !!!

Hello Burton The true figure, not just the holdings above 0.5%, can be found at Euroclear. https://my.euroclear.com/apps/en/monthly-stock-loan-data.html#month=eq:4&year=eq:2018&limit=0&search=1 Login as a guest and select March 2018 for latest figures - April not available yet.

Despite the lower than warranted SP we are now seeing a steady improvement in volume. This will I think be the key to capitalising on the May update and give the SP a healthy boost that should I think be the bridge to the anticipated autumn update when AB's strategy starts to dramatically improve the bottom line

The highlight of the day has to be the shorts getting roasted at Sainsbury's - maybe some of them are shorting Enquest as well !!!

Was there not a deadline of the end of April - my mistake if there wasn't ???

I guess we can expect an RNS in the next 24 hours with an update.
