All going to plan

“Offloading and siting Itafluids well testing equipment at MOU-3”

If you can not see the proposed autoroute, click on the satellite image button on the right.

Just re-checked this SOAR satellite mapping site after receiving an mail from them this morning, about checking their improvements.

It is indicating in red & white stripes, the Autoroutes 4 "planned" connections to the A2, which are are about 1-3 kms West of the bridge overpass, needed to access MOU-3 & MOU-2 which lie 2-4 kms to the east of the overpass. It also aligns closely with the 100 m wide arc of land cleared last year, that I mentioned before & is visible on Copernicus.

I imagine its just a water tanker in case of potential fires or explosions & surely fire tenders will need to be present, during explosive perforations, flowings & flarings.

We are still waiting on the "slick wire line truck" & all the flaring equipment installed, etc. But happy to see the "gas labs" there.

Evening nikb, you may be right, but I think this is the 2nd or 3rd well stimulation vessel, used at the Deepwater Drillship. Another consideration is the huge storm, maybe upgraded to Hurricane Dexter, heading over, Florida, New Orleans & Hueston in the next few days.

You are very right too, that the Blue Tarpon is some serious kit.

Aimshare, email the address below & ask to be added to the PRD news list, good for RNS's too.

I think this is an annual "concours" or competitive hiring program. Maybe they want to have less "fonctionaire" type hires & more business type hires.

Funny F&M, I haven't heard the word "gumption" used in 30+ years, its a word my old grand aunts & uncle used, all born near the turn of the last century :-)

Keep your "vim" up :-)

Evening Wraith, great to see you posting again, I was worried as you had not posted for 3 1/2 months, especially after posting that you were unwell. Still in your debt for your valuable advice on RKH, now up near 4X there & that covers all my losses on PVR/BEY, PRD & EOG.

Evening MMR, hope things are getting better for you. I have good Irish friends here, that have a holiday home, near to you & often hang out at Paddy's Point Bar for the rugby matches. Maybe if I make it there, I can buy you an orange juice :-)

I have re-translated the original post on Co-Pilot, as Google translate is often quite rubbish. It seems to me more accurate.

Well spotted, rig moved sometime between 6 th & 13 th, from Megrez (Top left of Dalton) to Dubhe (Bottom left of Dalton. Hard to know the exact date due to heavy cloud cover. GLA, donalb

“MOU-3 testing preparations underway at MOU-3 site – first opportunity to test reservoirs with the larger perforating guns previously unavailable for earlier rigless testing programmes. Programme is right on schedule and acquisition and importing of equipment and contracting of services has progressed more smoothly than any other operation we have undertaken in Morocco. We are very pleased with progress”

Plus, changes visible on yesterdays satellite pass, more white cabins near the road entrance.

Its even funnier, if the older person knocks of the younger purchaser & become full owners again after all the down payments !!! I have an american friend who got a super old house & gardens overlooking the medieval village of Langes, in the Luberon, after only 4 years of payments.

A much better return that my PRD investment, to date :-)

Hi F&M, everyday is a school day & you have me doing more than my usual morning googling :-) But we do seem to be missing dividends !!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tontine

It reminds me of a Viager here in France, where an older person sells their home, for about 1/3 down & a lifetime of annual payments. However there is the famous case of Jeanne Calment, who lived too 122 & the original purchasers grandchildren had to finish off the annual payments. If you miss 2 payments, the property reverts to the original owner, no questions asked & all your previous payments are lost.

I considered doing this with some friends a few years ago, but you would need 5-10 properties to average out the Jeanne Calment risk.

Evening p777, from yesterdays sat pass, using SWIR, (infra red), me thinks there has been flaring (orange hue)from the south end of the FPSO, since early June, also indicated on moisture index setting, the gas flares high moisture signal shows as dark red.

Hi KnC, I watched the webinar now, an hour of my life I will never get back :-) The media24 article, (which has Royal Palace connections), is saying "but this time with a new Moroccan partner", so it is already decided or mandated by ONHYM/Palace, which partner or from which small list of possible chosen partners. I think like all the Moroccan O&G explores, our options are shrinking. GLA.

JPDM & Supra3, I believe its an exaggeration to compare even the better Languedoc wines to the good Chateauneuf-Du-Pape wines. As an entertaining side hustle, for 10 year, I guided small wine groups, to both the most expensive, the better value & preferably the most welcoming vineyards for tastings & purchases, averaging about one tour a month. Yes, the higher end wines can be expensive, 50-100+++£, but lots of good younger wines available for around 20-30 £, but you need to keep they for some years (never my forté).

My best advice to all, if you are looking for good value, look to the wine appellations that encircle Ch. Du Pape, like Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Rasteau, Beaumes de Venice & Lirac, for most amateurs, maybe 90% of the quality & 50% of the price.

I propose the next AGM at Chateauneuf Du Pape, I will even throw in some free tours :-) GLA, donalb
