Thanks Keith, very generous knowledge sharing as ever !

I will add, for 4 hr tests, only a 1 in 6 best chance of being picked up on any satellite pass & 1 in 4 for 6 hr tests, chances even lower with heavy nighttime clouds, not to mention willy PG & Lonny being only to careful not to show their hand, if possible. Note: Guercif is in for some big wind, storms & rains this week/weekend, which will likely slow things too for safety reasons. GLA, DAB

Salut NicosEvos, not sure if you are/were Greek Orthodox or other, but you post amusingly reminded me of my long abandoned Catholic altar boy upbringing. As I was reading your post, my mind was adding "pray for us" between each line, but on reflection, it should probably say "pray for the bald faced & the money he is loosing" between each line :-) All said in the best possible taste :-)

Even more curious, is that one of the CEO's to be "grilled" by TW, is none other than Cathal Friel, serial entrepreneur & former CEO of FastNet Oil & Gas, who dropped Guercif & PG, to move into Pharma's, where he made a fortune. It seems sharks new & old continue circling & chumming up the waters, to see if the can bite off a chunk !!!

Interesting PT, for context 1 MAD = 0.093 €, so the 12kg butane cylinder, now costs 4.65 €. In comparison a French 12kg butane is approx. 30.00 €, ie, 6.45 times the price & now I see its approx 15.00 € in Spain. So, I expect lots more price rises/ending of subsidies, to come. GLA

Another school week thanks to Seabright & ROB, and finally improving my cryptic translations :-)

E = Por X Per X Charge

And if a 6-8-10 km depth rises to a 1-2 km depth (see Keith's recent Tweet) & under a salinity crisis, event the sky is the limit !!!

Even Porters has finally gone pumping long :-) Is it FOMO !!! GLA, DAB

Ibiza, "Afriqia Gaz" are a big part of the very large AKWA group.

Here is a link to a slightly outdated company brochure in English.

That's great to see Voskos, they are starting with a 2 jet version, to maybe test the water (mud) & if successful, that can be increased to up to 9 jets per test zone, greatly increasing the Sand Jet Perforations efficacy & number of zones that can be tested. An even better day today. Thanks to the PRD team & keep up the good work. donalb

Thanks Keith for your new MOU-05 educated guesstimate location, always very helpful. I note that it is in the "Kasba et Torch" area, so lets hope that is a great omen for our future gas flaring :-)

Thanks, us amateurs oilies need to stick together :-)

Additional FYI, I see zooming in photo 2 of 4, that we have lots of pumping/mixing/separating ? equipment from ECS (French Outfit). GLA

This video helped me put Lonny's photos & video in a better perspective. Hope it helps the fellow amateur oilies :-)

PS - it finishes with a fracking feature, but we will be sand jet perforating. A good day. Thanks to all the PRD team. GLA, DAB

Well spotted Jimkglas, I agree for the big cloud & shadow in True colour. And now playing around with my screen, I can see the other smaller clouds above it. Excitement over, sorry for disturbance, back to Olympics & melon & jambon cru & rose for lunch :-)

These unusual clouds from yesterdays satellite pass are around MOU-03 of course.

See link below, MOU-O3 on left, MOU-02 on right.

In both True & False colour, some unusually dark clouds around MOU-2, though not a Moisture or IR signature. Any thoughts ?

Thank you Fordy, for promoting your families worthy cause today, it bringing out the best from many of our posters.

However, I would just like to recall to all, an experience I had 35+ yrs ago & the dangers of any casual profiling, be it racially or by nationality, by religious identity or other. My first ever flight, was to England to work & earn some money to pay for my unaffordable Irish College education, during the Thatcher Building Boom/Bust. First off the plane with little hand luggage & needing to p*sh, I was pulled straight in by an unknown to me, CID. They harassed me for 2 hours, asking all kinds of nasty questions, terrorism, bombs, IRA, who sent me, etc, etc. I had no idea what they were talking about, no idea why they stopped me & felt completely disillusioned by my arrival to England.

Eventually, I was released & found my way to the Landlady's house, soon got some small "buy & sell" jobs here & there & within 2 month I found myself working on "final fix work" for a subbie on a military medical recovery accommodation site in Leatherhead. Not the least vetting or security requested for any of the subbie crew to enter this military premises, which turns on its head, the gauntlet, I suffered on arrival to England.

My point, is that any & all stop & search, should be very targeted to know suspects & associates, to recognized behavior patterns, etc, & should never over generalised & do more harm than good to the wider community.

GLA, long & strong, Donal

ps - I have never ever been first of a plane since :-)

TUI looks solid in comparison. Will know more in a few weeks. GLA.

Budget carrier Wizz Air reported first-quarter revenue growth, though a swing to loss amid a rise in financing expenses and a foreign exchange hit. In the first-quarter ended June 30, total revenue improved 1.8% to EUR1.26 billion from EUR1.24 billion a year prior. It reported a EUR4.5 million pretax loss, however, swinging from profit of EUR67.1 million. Its total operating expense was 5.0% higher at EUR1.21 billion from EUR1.16 billion. It reported a net foreign exchange loss of EUR10.1 million, compared to a gain of EUR17.1 million a year prior. In addition, net financing expenses climbed to EUR49.0 million from EUR12.8 million. "Our performance this quarter demonstrates the resilience of Wizz Air's ultra-low-cost business model. Despite the competitive landscape and ongoing supply chain challenges, our strategic focus on delivering the lowest fares, improving our route network, and maintaining high operational efficiency has yielded results," CEO Jozsef Varadi says. "Looking ahead, capacity is stabilizing and we are focusing on further optimizing our operations, with an emphasis on improving our most profitable bases and enhancing efficiency. We remain optimistic about the demand outlook, with both ticket and ancillary [revenue per available seat kilometres] expected to be up year-on-year while load factor is maintained above 90%."

BHP (BHP) has been "looking to bulk up their copper outlook," CLSA analyst Baden Moore told Reuters. "The deal is demonstrating to BHP's shareholders that BHP has other strategies to build their copper exposure, although I don't think it means they have definitively walked away from Anglo," referring to the attempt earlier this year to buy Anglo American with a ~US$50B takeover bid that was rebuffed.

Has anybody else noticed that every time one troll takes a holiday, another troll takes up the full time troll role.

Look at all these clowns recent posting histories, its a "one/two week in" , "one/two week out", do the hookey pookey & shake it all about :-) What is the shift pattern in Basra ??? Long & strong, DAB

Robert & Mary, today I am officially joining you guys on a smaller secondary trading strategy, new trading buy at 6.20€. PS - of note today, TUI & EZY are much less %down by today's Ryanair news, than both Ryanair & Wizz. Their hotels, tours & cruise business, etc, providing much higher margins & a cushioning safety net. If true, I plan to sell @ 7.19, then rinse & repeat. GLA, DONALB

No change to RKH vs Italy case, lots of environmentalists still unhappy about the 20 yr sunset cause. Separately, I read that Switzerland are staying in, as its in their best interests. GLA, DB
