So will you be holidaying at lake Garda again.

As you have expressed so much support and admiration for Miss Thunberg has she persuaded you to change your carbon emitting habits?

I assume you comment is tongue in cheek.
Nevertheless it is worth comparing with the British response to the Piper Alpha disaster.
The Cullen Inquiry was critical of Piper Alpha's operator, Occidental, which was found guilty of having inadequate maintenance and safety procedures, but no criminal charges were ever brought against the company.

Redoctober58 is a on the face of it new member to LSE and posts on this board claiming to have knowledge that is not widely available to the market. Despite being new to the board his posting style suggests previous. Unless you are totally gullible it should arouse suspicion or at least put you on notice of someone who might have a motive.
Biffadog has assumed the latter and responded with all guns blazing. Not a totally unreasonable assumption. He is not the only one to accept RO58 at face value. Time will tell.

If you stand on a pedestal and preach there are bound to be some who don’t agree with you. Expect the occasional milkshake.
She has chosen to make herself a public figure and should not be exempt from criticism simply because of her age.
I do wonder how she will cope with the hardships of this journey, not that I am concerned or that I wish her ill but it is pretty certain that she will be seasick for long periods. Will there be any revealing stories from crew or are they all bound by a non-disclosure contract.

The Germans have a name for it: schadenfreude

The problem I have with children advocating action on climate change is that they are almost certainly mouthing indoctrination by their teachers without having any real understanding of the issues or the ability to make a critical analysis of the argument. I am willing to listen to the views a panel of scientists but I see no reason why I or indeed anyone should take notice of a child who chose to opt out of school.

I would suggest that Amaja’s credentials were reinforced by the fact that AS mentioned the clever chap who phoned Vopak. We all know who he was talking about.
Amaja’s post 22nd July:
My sources in the Rotterdam harbour tell me that she carries 56.000 tons of crude oil which is the equivalent of 455.000 bbls. I got this info from a very reliable source and crossed checked the information with a second person in the right position.
This time, I will not divulge my (external) source as I have the feeling that someone is trying to put a lid on it. However, the wheelings and dealings in the Rotterdam harbour are far away from Surrey, let alone Aberdeen.
Perhaps Hurricane will corroberate the info at some stage, but probably not before months to come.”
Who do we think might be trying to put a lid on it?
Amaja gave the tonnage figure (56,000) from his sources and a conversion of weight to barrels which I believe is wrong hence my figure of 413.6K. Accurate conversion requires knowledge of the density factor however my estimate of 413.6 is calculated on the tonnage Amaja reported for the first offload (47,389) and confirmation of the volume of that load (350K barrels)by AS and the not unreasonable assumption that the density is the same for both loads.
If as has been suggested this next offload is 450K barrels the necessary average flow rate to achieve this would have to be over 16K barrels per day, only 1K short of the target rate at the end of six months production. In the CMD RNS HUR said ” A cautious approach will therefore be taken to manage increases in flowrates between the two wells, with careful reference needing to be made to the combined rate.”
So have they thrown caution to the wind?

Amaja reported the 1st offload as 47,389 tons and confirmed by AS at the CMD as approx 350K barrels.
Amaja reported the second offload as 56,000 tons and gave a barrel equivalent of 450K but if the tonnage figures are correct it would have been 413.6K barrels.
Average flow rate between first and second offload 12.523 per day.
If we have a similar load to the last the average flow rate will have increased to 14.8 per day.

The poster said “LC will be getting well tested around the 19th of this month.” i.e. 38 days into the drill. I thought they tested when they reached TD, not as soon as they entered the reservoir.
I asked if this was realistic which in terms of probability would mean greater than 50%.

Yes your relpy suggested this, but 38 days into the drill? This is a 180 day drill progamme for three wells i.e. 60 days average per well.

On this thread 6th August clkmouselozhouse posted “no, 75 days is miles out, LC will be getting well tested around the 19th of this month. GLA”
Did anyone take this as realistic?

If the allegations are proven to be true Muddy Waters could be hit with substantial civil claims from Burford shareholders.

this one’s for you

Brent has just spike up and is now at 59 or thereabouts
News? and will the sp follow?

daltry
Agreed a successful EPS is what needed to move the sp however to say that’s a year away is rather pessimistic and inaccurate. HUR said 6 to 12 months and the EPS effectively started following the introduction of hydrocarbons on the 11th May. By mid to end November and if there have been no problems the doubters will have to start rethinking.

Getting a pressure gauge in one well will tell you nothing. You have to have gauges in two or more wells to get any indication of connectivity. Neill Platt confirmed this when I asked him the question. He also said that the decision to drill WD first was made after discussion with Spirit. Remember in January they were saying Lincoln was to be drilled first so draw your own conclusions. In that interview with MGW RT was waffling to avoid giving a meaningful answer.

where did the banana come from? The fool on the hill?

The next event will be the third offload from the AM around about 23rd August but don’t expect company notification, it will be strictly a shipwatcher’s event. Next should be LC RNS. Spudded on the 12th July so probably towards mid September. The test will not be that it flows oil but will it be a commercial producer.
Mid to end September will be Q3 and no doubt an updated presentation with a report on progress with the EPS. Will it be my cup runneth over or----?

Thanks for the link. Read the book. It’s worth it.

“Below structural closure”

Imagine Warwick and Lincoln as two adjacent hills or mountains. Between the peaks will be a col i.e. the lowest point along the ridge between the two peaks. Warwick deep was drilled to a level below the col whereas the two crestal wells will be drilled into each peak above the level of the col.
The col represent the level at which structural closure occurs.
That at least is my understanding of the term.
