Member Info for donalb

From Co-Pilot - with several official info prompts, it was using 2020-2022 company info at first & lots of this LSE posts :-)

Predator’s Moroccan position is potentially transformational: the company’s own minimum estimate of **6 TCF of gas**, combined with **associated oil and helium upside**, makes the basin a genuine strategic‑scale resource, and if commercial flow is proven, the asset becomes exactly the kind of province‑level play that attracts majors, with in‑ground valuations for multi‑TCF onshore gas typically running into the **low‑billions of dollars**, meaning a takeover of the Moroccan assets—or even the entire company—would be a realistic outcome rather than speculation, especially when paired with Predator’s growing Trinidad oil production and the re‑emerging Ireland licence option, which together give the company a diversified, cash‑supported platform that dramatically amplifies the value of a Moroccan success.

About 5 miles done, she seems to be heading SW to the West side of Scotland or maybe Belfast, or could just be testing the engines ???

5.6 Knots, appears she under her own power . The other 3 Tug, Safety, Fire control boats are all following behind.

Another step, in our long waltz.

Morning Adon30, what day did you get this view & which satellite & settings ? I have been struggling to get a good unclouded image since 4 May pass, confirmed less clear on 7 may. Also to complicate things, Google has recently put many of its latest maps (2026) behind their paywall, both T & T & Maroc. Merci, donalb

4 vessels by the Aoka Mizu, maybe some movement soon

Grampian Dynamic - standby safety vessel - there all month-long, that I have been following, maybe permanently ?

Skandi Caledonia - multi purpose offshore vessel - coming & going for 3 weeks

Boulder - tug/supply vessel - just up from ~ Aberdeen direction - holding ~4 km from AM.

Fairplay - fire fighting vessel - just up from ~ Aberdeen direction - happily holding at ~3 km from AM :-)

Another big 2M & 2M share trades @ 3.67 & 3.70

Bed & ISA's ?? or positioning ? or tax/inheritance planning ?

Another huge trade, late post, 6,331,300 @ 3.575 (exact mid price)

Would love a super Friday RNS :-)

If that's a bed & ISA, its a very chunky one. More likely internal positioning.

Interesting these 5 internal Chef positions, were posted the very same days as the vote was passed by the Chambers of Councellors (Upper Chamber).

Hespress " The transformation of the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM) into a public limited company has reached a new stage. Adopted on Tuesday, May 5, by the House of Councillors, Bill 56.24 is part of a broader project to overhaul the public sector, with the aim of strengthened governance and better mobilization of investments".

ps - thanks Keith, your link working now ? & for the moment happy with the posts forwarded by F&M etc. Info overload, etc.

Thanks Keith, but your link is not working for me here, I cant even get the old ONHMY job lists to upload. Should these jobs have been made public, as the are designated to Internal candidates ? Best of luck to many :-)

Ohhh, they have just closed down the link, though its still showing on search results under 8 or 9 May.

Other Chef posts were for Offshore, Minerals, + ???,

Sorry, but couldn't copy/paste page.

Chef de Département Non Conventionnel - reading PDF - shale gas & bitumen resources, etc.

PS - finally is updating & modernising their website.

Very entertaining, to see Porkharder, accusing others of having to suck on the hind tit. Dull mirrors are cheap & widely available :-)

Looks like the last weeks of pipelines de-conections, is coming towards an end, the Aoka Mizu is now moving over 60 m from its usual 10-20 m center point range.The Grampian continues its "un-knitting" (my term) of the Aoka Mizu connections & Aoka Misu's maneuverability is increasing.

Obviously not a simple de-turret & sail away, as some of our experienced posters have suggested.

In the first page of the RNS !!!

Post Reporting Period Events

· Europa successfully raised a total of £4.1 million, of which £3.5 million was through the placing of new ordinary shares to institutional investors. The Company also raised further aggregate gross proceeds of £640,000 following an oversubscribed WRAP retail offer, (the "Placing")

· The proceeds of the Placing will go towards financing drilling of the Barracuda prospect and provide general working capital to support working commitments on other licence interests. The Placing has further strengthened the Company's balance sheet and demonstrates the ongoing shareholder support for the business

Merci Keith, ~2 second to download in France. I guess its distance from where the docs are stored & number of servers to pass thru.

ps - for anyone interested in future AI tech, have a look at the CNBC articles, re - Corning & NVIDIA partnership, I learned more in one video, than 25 years in the semi industry, about future plans, energy, speeds, copper, fiber optic, etc.

Sad Rob, but the trolls have taken over the asylum. Long & strong with you, donalb

ps - my local Irish friends, with a house down near you, had the misfortune to be in the Lansdowne Irish Pub, to watch the Leinster V Bordeaux rugby final.

On a eu une fessé !!! :-)

**there are only a handful of real‑world technical, account, and policy reasons why someone might be unable to create a Telegram account or join a private group even when they have the invite link.**

Below that, I’ll give you a structured, complete list so you can diagnose what’s most likely.

## 🚫 Why someone *cannot create a Telegram account*

These are the **actual failure points** that prevent account creation:

### 1. **Phone number issues**

- The number is **VoIP**, virtual, or from a provider Telegram blocks.

- The number is **already linked** to an existing Telegram account.

- The user is in a region where Telegram **requires a local number** and foreign numbers are restricted.

### 2. **SMS / call verification failures**

- No SMS received due to **carrier filtering**, roaming issues, or poor signal.

- The user is using a device that **blocks unknown SMS senders**.

- Telegram temporarily **rate‑limited** verification attempts after too many tries.

### 3. **Device or app restrictions**

- Outdated Telegram app version.

- Device OS too old to run the current Telegram build.

- App store restrictions (e.g., Telegram removed from local store).

### 4. **Network or regional blocks**

- Telegram is **blocked or throttled** by the ISP or government.

- VPN interference (Telegram sometimes rejects verification when VPN IPs look suspicious).

### 5. **Security flags**

- Telegram may block sign‑ups from IPs associated with spam or automated activity.

- Using emulators or modified Android builds can trigger anti‑bot protections.

## 🔒 Why someone *cannot join a private Telegram group* even with the link

Joining a private group requires both **a valid account** and **group permissions**. Here are the reasons access fails:

### 1. **The invite link is invalid**

- The link has **expired** (admins can set expiration).

- The link has been **revoked** by the group admin.

- The link is **not for a private group** but for a channel with restricted entry.

### 2. **The group has reached its member limit**

- Standard groups: up to **200,000 members**.

- If full, new users cannot join regardless of link.

### 3. **User is banned from the group**

- If the user was previously removed or banned, the invite link will not work.

### 4. **Admin approval required**

- Some private groups require **manual admin approval** after clicking the link.

- If the admin rejects or ignores the request, the user cannot enter.

### 5. **Account restrictions**

- Newly created accounts sometimes face **temporary joining limits** to prevent spam.

- Telegram may block accounts flagged for suspicious activity from joining groups.

### 6. **Regional or network blocks**

- If Telegram is partially blocked, the join request may fail to reach Telegram’s servers.

### 7. **User not logged in on the device/browser**

- Clicking a link without being logged in can lead to a “cannot join” loop.

Looks like Sound is selling up all its Moroccan oil & gas licences to partner Managem for $57 M, only the cost of its debts being re-paid.
