He's only 5'8" or he behaves like he is anyway, assuming we're talking about that prick on twitter!

I also recall you saying this Ricfle, and thank you for posting the Bloomberg article.

Things are going to get very interesting indeed for Hurricane. The following paragraph in the Bloomberg article really stands out, and says it all:

“If oil demand continues to grow to 2030 and beyond, the strategy of returning cash to shareholders and underinvesting in reserves will only turn out to sow the seeds of the next super-cycle,” the analysts wrote. “Companies which have barrels in the ground to produce, or the services to extract them, will be the ones to own and those who do not will be left behind.”

Nothing, at the moment. You’re absolutely correct.
Under promise, over deliver is the hurricane way

tinlode, she's not in dry dock anymore. She was refloated after painting the hull afaik.
Having said that, I don't believe for one minute that she had a quick jolly around the docks at 10 knots today!

Lombard Odier clearly remain confident in the future.

Much obliged to you aduk. Will have a look for a copy of that.

jplay Attacking one of the most well researched and generous contributors to this board will not improve your situation. Indeed it just brings the whole board down. This is a public forum and if you don't agree with or even like a particular poster then it's probably best just to ignore them unless they are being obviously false or misleading which is clearly not the case here. Crow2 You are clearly a funny guy with a lot to offer here. Well done.

I think the idea is that it's just for fun. Personally I couldn't give a monkeys who wins, so long as first oil is a success (and comes sooner rather than later), and so long as a well deserving charity gets a good sized unexpected bonus. Don't forget that should the eventual winner have made their prediction months ago at the beginning of the sweepstake, then they will have the additional satisfaction of knowing that they made a good 'long term' estimate. The converse will also be true for a winner who places their bet a mere few weeks before the event.

ADUK Following from your post at 17:48, I wonder would you (or indeed anybody else) be good enough to recommend a good all round book on the subject of the Macondo disaster and what happened? Something which is understandable by your average investor. I'm interested in the subject and would like to learn more. Cheers

Max I think he means he wants to sell TERN and reinvest it here in VRS

IJWT/Chessman your notes are much appreciated. Disappointed I couldn't attend. Hope you enjoyed the day.

With respect Jamescarver, SDX and Sound couldn't be much more different. Pretty much the only similarity is that they both have interests in gas in Morocco. SDX has plenty of gas, is drilling and finding more, is selling gas at increasing prices, at a huge margin, and to an increasing customer base, and then there's Egypt. Established oil and gas production in Egypt, more drilling, more substantial finds, new production, increasing prices etc etc. Frankly Sound have none of that. They may (or may not) be sitting on a couple of TCFs, and they may (or may not) find more. They have no income and are running out of money. It's certainly not clear how theyre going to fund the further substantial exploration that they require. Schlumberger may have funded the seismic, but theyre not going to pay for everything. As James Parsons is fond of saying, Sound is a binary outcome - a gamble in my opinion. SDX is an excellent medium term investment.

Entirely agree with SIPP - you post what you want Boyzee. All part of the rich mixture that makes this bb one of the best and most informative on lse. I live in hope that I might have something useful to contribute one day, but I wouldn't hold your breath haha!

What does it say Stu? From the look of the share price action I'm assuming he's announced that someone has worked out how to produce graphene in their kitchen using a childs pencil sharpener.

The code 1 thing has been shown to be untrue many many times across many different shares. It's a chat room myth unfortunately. One would imagine that if market makers had any requirement to broadcast to eachother the lodging of an RNS (which I frankly doubt), then in 2018 they would probably have other and more sophisticated means of doing it. It's a little like Santa Claus - we'd all like it to be true but... Apologies to the believers.

Thanks laserdisc. I had forgotten it was the vessel that moved the chains.

laserdisc Why is Fortitude being watched, what's it doing re HUR?

Anybody know what time the teleconference is tomorrow?

Aduk I think you misunderstood my comment re the plate. I thought it was attached to seal the hole in the hull that would result when the turret was removed in Dubai. When the turret is in place there is clearly no problem, but I imagined that when you remove the turret the boat fills with water, maybe. Anyway, the turret is now reunited with the rest of the boat so no problem.
