Hi Makeabundle, Norway make 99% of their electricity using hydro, that's mostly why its so cheap.

They sell Ireland plenty of their gas, via the UK pipeline network & then buy flash Tesla's with all the cash :-)

Evening Swiss, I have been "guessing/hoping" that the summer recess would be an optimum time to advance Corrib South, Inishkea West & even Corrib Deep, but disappointed to date. But the dog days of summer are at max on the 14/15 of August, so still hopeful/tishfull winking :-)

"The Dáil rose for summer recess on Thursday 14 July, ending a Dáil term in which the rising cost of living quickly replaced the Covid pandemic as the crisis at hand for Government, and will certainly be firmly atop the Government’s agenda when the Dáil returns on Wednesday 14 September and define policy matters for the Autumn/Winter term".

Ireland at risk of major power outages in absence of natural gas storage, EY says.

Mk111, last times I was there in October, once only 10 yards west of the rear of the basins & pad, I took wellhead photo's (gauge illegible), but security guard watching me both times, certainly didn't want me on the pad or too close :-)

Best I can offer, is from yesterdays Sat Pass, it looks to me, like much of the major equipment is still in position on pad. Storms over Guercif this week & I am guessing light rain, which slightly alters the comparisons, will know more from next passes. GLA, donalb

PS - EuroMillion 200 M€ tonight :-)

Looks like this was happening from Mon to Wed, maybe many of those late posted trades. Good days. GLA.

5. Date on which the threshold was crossed or reached vi: 06/08/2025

6. Date on which issuer notified (DD/MM/YYYY): 07/08/2025

Bit strange, 22 M delayed share trades, only posted after close after a near record 124 M shares traded today.

Very sad but true PP, worse still Guidin thinks MOU-6 is still only after a prospective 20 BCF :-)

Previously posted from April 24 2025, but Morocco is definitely going all guns to gas, local or imported ? Worth a re-read, scales are huge !!!

PS - Even EOG in the good news this week, pity its not for near Corrib gas news !

PS - My 100k @ 3p limit buy from Friday, passed today as one of the 100k trades at 10.01 :-)

Deep Water Atlas is on the move, already 32nm NE of long time position. 3 supply ships/tugs still in the FPS zone crocheting away.

Morning/evening Keith, always good to hear your thoughts. 2 points of discussion from me.

Did the use the nitrogen lift from a midway packer or the bottom of MOU-3 ???

Is it possible to go down to the 4 3/8" casing from above the high pressure A sands, say 300m ?

That would allow for only single casing perforations & with the much smaller csa, reduce the gas kick possible & maybe reduce need for over pressure mud ? Morning musings. GLA

Thanks bobbybee for all your helpful postings.

A bit surprised why Malcy described EG-08 as "highly prospective" given its relative positioning & super seismics.

Topped up too, fomo :-) GLA, donalb

Maybe SLB can import the necessary guns for us, they have much more clout at customs !!!

Still all the casings, muds, etc, need importing, so maybe by Christmas.

I am also guessing its our regular traders here, selling their own shares to bump the price down & buy back cheaper.

Watching to see if my 100k limit buy @ 3p catches :-)

Thanks Chislehurst for that, a good interview & Paul looked well & happier than usual :-)

Formation damage proven, will design next well to reduce risks. Lots of new potential gas zones, hidden by previous over pressure mud.

Next drill within 6 months. Maybe T&T sign-off next month, but no control

Africa Oil Corp is now called Merenic, but those subsidiaries names still exist.

EG-08 is very nicely placed near their EG-31 & near to both the Alen & Alba platforms.

A good day Will, bring it home !!!

Not sure if that was a big volume spike on 31/7 close or 3/8 but showing as 3/8 on this site ?

Raise RNS posted at 19.20 31/7 Israel Time ?

A good day regardless. GLA.

Interesting article PP & explains many of my own questions. Expect we will still be drilling over-pressure, but next time, with a better mud & can slow down & be ready for the kick.
