Looks like a bit of kit is being removed from site. Not sure what exactly. Just looking at Twitter for updates from John Rogan.

Could UKOG be sending some of that kit over to Turkey? If they have a bunch of kit from the purchase of PW Well services, then would they use that in Turkey? Might be a lot cheaper to ship that kit over there in containers, than to rent it. May also drop the costs of the initial drill & test down.

I'm still sitting waiting for a potential entry, glad I didn't buy last week. About time that pump was put back on HH1, maybe its delayed with the other equipment being moved about, and then that crane will lift it onto well when done.

He doesn't give up does he. FOTH seems obsessed with UKOG and LSE. Its really bad to see someone so obsessed with something.

It was a waste of cash. However, it would be unwise to throw good money after bad.
Cue the impending surge of replies in relation to HH..................

I think it is more likely a reflection of UKOG taking a more sincere approach to their asset base and priorities. They have no cash to do it. They had a portfolio that was too big.

SS paying for the extra share of the license was a very very bad business decision. But it only cost 35m shares right. So it was no skin off his nose. He does not care about shareholders. The real cost to UKOG in issuing those extra shares was having to stump up the nominal value of the shares on issue, which would have been peanuts.

Maybe there is bad news tsunami to come; A24 relinquishment, HH1 watered out, HH2z nothing more than a prospective water fountain, IoW sinks into the sea, Loxley site taken over by modern day Robin Hood band of men in tights, Turkey war with Syria/Iran, discovery of a new energy source that has zero cost and zero emissions, trump found NOT to be a lizard from a distant galaxy, veggie bacon recipe tasting better than the real thing, Boris wins the next 10 general elections, Adolf Hitler comes back from the dead after cryogenic freezing, and finally Rich not getting his Jim'll fix it badge.

You'll have to forgive my effort at comedy; but losing A24 is hardly bad news. I'm still waiting for an entry point. 27th Nov, 6 weeks to go.

Don't the O&GA require an operator / licensee to drill a well in the given PEDL within a certain period after award of that PEDL?

I'm not sure, but if so, then UKOG were not going to get funds to support Europa in a drilling campaign there. Would be another £3million of cash call.

So in a way, is it good news that A24 has been surrendered? Makes it clear that they'll keep cash focused on their core assets.

SCC Loxley on the 27th Nov is confirmed now. I guess Penny Rivers had to move her hair and nail appointments to fit in with that date.

Yeah RIch, do it. Maybe contact the BBC and ask for a Jim'll Fix It badge while you are at it.

qwerty, where am I ramping? I've said I am not invested, I've pointed out plenty of risks/issues and provided quite a balanced debate. A ramper I am not. If you want a ramper, then go look at Tymers. I'm not here pounding my chest and crying "buy UKOG, its going to the moon". But conversely, all I see is negativity from you, and if you have sold out, why are you still here? Are you trying to get in at a lower trading point? Or is it a CFD style short bet? or do you have environment concerns?

I have significant concerns about the environment myself, for CO2 emissions, for unethical slave labour, for child poverty and many other things. But one thing I do know; the UK oil and gas sector is one of the most strictly regulated industries in the world, there are no major oil spills that I can recall in the last 10 years, there is no slave labour (oil industry pays well in the UK), there are world class health and safety measures. Compare that to some places in Africa where the oilers have very poor H&S, poor regulations, a history of very low paid workers, oil spills galore and a general lack of any commitment to the local society.

I would back UK O&G production over anything in the developing world. I say that to uphold my belief that such a commodity should be produced ethically, safely and at the right cost for the market it is serving.

And before you ask, I do drive a hybrid car and am a huge cycling fan.

There, is that enough for you to get an understanding of where I am from. But the fact remains, I'm only here as a discussion board with a view to assessing whether I can make a 20% return in the near term. If I do invest, and if I do make a small profit (big IF's), then I'll not then hang around on here making countless posts about a company that no longer has any appeal to me from a trading PERSPECTIVE.

I see that "DavetheDrill", aka "Fool on the Hill", is mocking me on Twitter. LOL.

You don't see the obvious downside to your approach of limiting so called "bad news" to a very small number of followers.

Adrian is his real name right? Well Adrian, if you dont share the "bad news" with a wide audience, then how do you expect people to react to it? If you truly want UKOG to subside into nothing but dust, which seems clear from your anger and jealousy towards the CEO, then you may want to consider broadening the audience somewhat.

Having half a dozen followers (who are unlikely to make an investment decision based on your opinion) is not going to deliver much wine from the grapes. After all, it is just your opinion, it is not fact, and based on your past performance, only a fool would listen to your opinion. Enough said on the matter.

So to keep it really simple for you (small brain must be hurting from reading the above text and trying to work out what I am saying):

If you want to spread fear and create a selling panic, then you will want to spread the bad news as far and as wide as Twitter will carry it.

p.s. My local sweet shop did a promotion on lollipops last week, but they put it on the door the wrong way around, so nobody knew about said promotion.

qwerty59, I am not sure how that post can be considered as reasonable and up for debate. Looked through your history and I can see nothing but a stream of continual negativity. Begs the question; why are you here? You don't come across as someone who is invested, and the shorting options are very limited with CFD style short betting.

As you can see from my posts, I am working out whether this company is worth a punt. Just shy of 0.16p with some potential upside news coming soon (Loxley planning, IoW planning, Turkey progress, HH1 work-over). There's a lot that could go well, and plenty that may continue to disappoint.

DO I take a punt at 0.16p and hope for a sell at 0.192p? 20% is nothing to be scoffed at, IF (and that is a big IF) it comes off.

For the time being, I wait, and tick follows tock. No rush to lose money, but plenty of time to watch from the sidelines and decide whether to jump in or not. This is AIM after all, no guarantees.

p.s. You will observe my displeasure of UKOG CEO and PR. My local sweet shop does a much better job on PR, and they will never be a market entity. p.p.s My local sweet shop also gets a lot of customers from their positive PR. SHame that UKOG dont seem to have an ounce of understanding of the importance of the practical application and benefits to business in running a half decent PR function.

Oh, LOL. I do not use Twitter (company policy and issues that could stem from that).

Anyone re-posting for public perusal? Whats the story with the updates, I bet he is spreading malicious lies yet again being the deceptive creature that he is.

I see that "Dave the Drill" on Twitter, which is one of FOTH secondary accounts is saying that people are selling out after the videos from FOTH earlier this afternoon. But guess what, FOTH has not tweeted any videos yet, so maybe Adrian is suffering from the booze yet again, and thought he had posted videos with his other account.

You cannot make up the rubbish he does. "Unbelievable Jeff" (to quote Chris Kamara).

SCC are meeting on the 22nd Oct, but not to review the Loxley application.

So they feel its fine to review one application, but not another. Seriously, they should be adopting the same process and technology for ALL applications. Instead they have weeded Loxley out and pushed it back with ABSOLUTELY NO REASON for doing so. UKOG have not changed any part of the application, consultation is closed.

SO it is 100% a SCC cow doo doo decision. They really are NOT acting FAIRLY for the applications. They are acting with BIAS against UKOG.

Sorry about the caps, when reading it, those words should be louder than the rest.

SCC are an absolute joke of a council.

SS should be ashamed of taking that bonus, and not then putting a hefty part of it into UKOG stock. I'm sure he's just hoping for another 12 months then a cushy retirement. I don't think anyone would want to hire him in the future; I'd not trust him to stack shelves at B&Q.

p.s. Angus with Vonk and Captain America played it very sly and should be facing legal proceedings for deliberately misleading investors with their Brockham games last year (advising that they were going to test the well and having kit delivered, knowing in advance that it was a dead duck).

I do not expect UKOG to play a game with that level of deceit; but come on, for goodness sake, give us a bleeding update.

UKOG seem to be reluctant to give us an update. Been a while since that RNS.

So where are we at? Has the perf work all been completed? Have they now started to test? Timetable for completion and some updates would be welcome right?

We get the Twitter updates from the likes of John Rogan and Tony, but nothing from the company.

Cannot be much longer, surely?

I'm trying to make a decision on whether to invest or not, and all I get is silence. How can the expect investors to buy in on stock without giving more frequent updates? Maybe it is because its knackered and they are playing the game until their mates have flipped that placing stock?

This radio silence is a worry, especially when it only takes a few minutes to provide a Twitter update. Basic updates on stuff already announced in an RNS.

"please, please, please" (to paraphrase James Brown).

What is happening with Tellurian and Cannacord holdings. They were both above the 3% mark when I checked last TR-1's.

So are they still holding or not? Why have there not been TR-1's? Especially given the latest placing which would have changed their holding %'s.

Am I missing something simple?

"Train leaving the station".... "to go to the scrap yard". SS should be facing legal proceedings for his misleading statements and dishonest behaviour.

"I can smell the oil"
"Train leaving the station"
"Transformational"
"National significance"
"Billions of barrels"

Then the quiet man when there is bad news and withholding price sensitive news. e.g. HH Kim update, HH2z water issues.

Not to forget the placing to pay for HH equipment, followed by 2 further placings to pay for the same equipment.

The guy is a fraud. Simple as that.

The protestors acted illegally. They should not get a free breakfast and a slap on the wrist.

They should pay for:
1 Day rig rental
Police costs (it's not just PC Plod having to go there and arrest them, its a mountain of paperwork)
Legal fees

Add those together, and they are probably looking at £10k plus. Then maybe, just maybe, next time they will consider an appropriate peaceful protest within the realms of the law.

Mind you, they're probably on benefits, or using bank of mum+dad, so re-paying their costs may take a lifetime.

However, they have all read the documents already, consultation is closed, there is nothing left to review. Its just a plain debate and vote.

Penny Rivers is getting her hair done. So they had to cancel the SCC Oct meeting. Strong likelyhood that she's going for a wax late November, so it may be postponed until December.

Joking aside. This is a problem in "Great" Britain. There is nothing "Great" about our country other than its history. We have a backwards political system, a backwards council setup, a backwards tax system, a backwards schooling system, and a health service that is on its knees. Council's should be made to deliver against actual deadlines for reviews. 13 weeks is more than sufficient, if they cannot do it in that time, then the application should be passed, tough luck. Councillors should only be allowed to retain office if they can commit to making meetings and using basic technology. In the case of SCC, there is no plausible reason for the delay; "wanting to have the committee in person" is simply not an excuse. Central government need to shake it up and do so fast. With Brexit looming against the on-going backdrop of Covid-19, this country is going to be in a very very bad place, and very soon. Yet, the Tories make no attempt to deliver progressive thinking and policies.

One example; corporation tax for large companies like Apple and Amazon. Go read about how Apple have dodged a huge tax bill through using an office in the ROI as their EU headquarters; an office that does not have a single person working there.

Another example; we need jobs and an economy to be quick to re-start; instead we have a backwards planning process with powers delegated to councils that are mostly made up of retired people who are physiologically unlikely to take any brave steps to deliver the fast paced action needed. Progressive? Not on your nelly. This country stinks, it is rotten to the core with too many people in delegated positions of power who are happy to do sweet fanny adams (mostly because they are retired and are "doing just fine financially, thanks".

Rant over.

p.s. Councillors who follow and support XR should not be permitted to stay in office. They are in a public position and should not be allowed to socialise and support anarchists.
