Morning Androcles, not really comparable, but all PRD sites look professional. Pumping oil derrick pad & storage tanks Vs gas drilling exploration well heads & drill pits, desert like Vs tropical conditions, but as an engineer, I had no problems with the condition of the MOU-2, 3 & 4 pads when I visited, apart from a bit of tumbleweed cosmetics on the wettest MOU-4 (beside huge water treatment plant, so Olive trees all around well watered).

All moving forward nicely :-) GLA, donalb

Just recieved email from Tim Thompson.

One working Noddy on well site:-) & 2 large & 6 medium tanks with secondary containment walls, looks very professional.

From about 20 - 30 mins !!! 3 Ireland / UK gas interconnects & no Irish means to defend them.

The LNG story might be a big olive branch win to present to Trump, along with the usual bowl of shamrock during the annual St Patrick's Day White House visit next month. Ryan definitely slowed all Irish energy down, but Michael Martin is much better skilled at "plamas" !

The Coalition is making a controversial LNG (liquefied natural gas) facility a top priority, with a decision on the next step due within weeks. The facility, likely to cost €500m over 10 years, will be the first big investment in a new source of fossil fuels for years and comes despite warnings from scientists that fossil-fuel use must end fast....

Morning oldslow, its definitely 100 X 100 M, use the "ruler" symbol on right hand side to measure the box.

Looks like the pad might be freshly graveled, definitely much lighter toned today & I guess the first black plastic basin was constructed at West edge. We can also better make out associated equipment &/or work cabins, since cloud cover is only 2%. GLA, donalb

Simple Johnny, it highlights the advantages of having our FI oil fields.

A court has ruled that consent for two new Scottish oil and gas fields was granted unlawfully and their owners must seek fresh approval from the UK government before production can begin.

The written judgement on the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields came after a case brought by environmental campaigners, Uplift and Greenpeace, at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

Good morning/evening Keith, thanks for your new maps, it puts everything in a most helpful visual context. A bit surprised you write "confirmed site" for MOU-5 already, I was waiting for the black plastic lined retention basins first :-) Or am I not the only poster, who has been visiting Guercif recently ? Oldslow, planning next visit early March on spud news.

Lots of room in my preferred Hotel now that they have block booked closer to the works. GLA, donalb

ps- thanks to your maps, I realise I walked over the MEG twice & passed over maybe 4-6 times by car :-)

Not guaranteed 100% to be MOU-5, my guestimation tonight is 80-90% probable @ 34.2789,-3.2828

Most of the rest of today's posts were either full on & highly coordinated troll attack posts & for reasons I still can not fully understand, decent LTH's replying to them & only re-enforcing the trolls status.(Yes, mea culpa, I have done it too, but try to minimize it) GLA, donalb

Today's image (29) in early, looks much cleared & brighter & definitely at least 100 X 100 M sq. :-)

Thanks Adon30, I would give it a definite maybe, about 100 X 100 m, among olives, as Paul said, looks like a new road right into the site & 5km ESE from MOU-4, as Keith updated. A fresh pass today, but Guercif partly cloudy.

Again late day trades missing on fake LSE.

Can not !! :-)

Hi Les, Vermilion buying shares is a nice thought, but WH specifically said on Wraiths recent video link post @51m, that anyone with an NDA who enters the date room can acquire the company.

My bad :-) Note to self, coffee better than tea in the morning.
