Good article Rosso & may keep some of the Spanish energy giants in the mix in Morocco.

As for wind paying for things, right now France has the highest electricity generation by wind ever recorded at near 19GW or the equivalent of 19 nuclear power plants & Spain must be similar. France is also importing 2.4 GW from Spain, whilst exporting 18GW north & east. That's huge revenue & the lowest CO2 footprint available..

Some times when you rip of the plaster, its good for TUI share price !

Zebra, you being a long term & significant shareholder, you might do better re-reading the RNS's before posting such unfounded accusations.

The Phase 1 testing obviously started as RNS'ed, followed by on-site preparation, CTU testing, depth tests, safety tests, etc, but was then delayed due to weather conditions & consequent delays in explosive deliveries. I expect they do not deliver explosives to remote sites in Morocco unless all lights are green. The actual explosive perforation & flow testing could only happen once the explosive deliveries were made.

Operations summary

Phase 1 rigless testing operations commenced on 10 February 2024 after arrival at the well

site of the explosives required for the perforating guns and allowing for adverse weather

conditions caused by severe gusts of wind that prevented crane work to ameliorate.

All four zones in MOU-1 and MOU-3 to be tested were perforated and operations were completed on 19 February 2024 with the crews and equipment being demobilised. Operations took 10 days versus the pre-testing forecast of up to 14 days.

Silverfoil, forget about Hiroc, check out FDE (Francaise de Energy), part of a large methane pyrolysis consortium, but much more importantly have the licence over the recently discovered largest known natural hydrogen source, estimated between 50-250 Million Tonnes !!!!Plus, huge licence for coal bed methane & abandoned mine methane recovery in the Alsace Lorraine region, along with bio-methane sites in N Ireland, Norway, etc, etc.

Profitable, very low cost eco financing & growing 40-60% per year.

Plus ROI, used ~ 50% fossil fuel to create electricity over the last 30 days, no to mention all the coal, gas, wood & turf used for more direct heating, etc. Einstein Ryan needs to move !!!

A Christmas Tree and/or BOP has been present at MOU-1 since drill !!! Gauges there ay explain the lack of movement on site. See centre of pad.

Thanks D220. Here is BP's own link too:

Thanks Keith, my cheeky observation might just have some legs. Looking at it again in "true colour" at MOU-3 from the 12th on a 50m scale, its appears as a very white wetness ??? Now, that reminded me of a video, I saw before !!! See "Watch SJP Test".

Great find Keith, this appeared between the Jan 25 & Jan 28 satellite passes, the same as window as the ground work done around MOU-3 (use 100% cloud for extra days). I measure it using the rule function exactly 2.6 km centre to centre with MOU-4.

Cheeky thought Keith, as MOU-3 has "possible" water run-off showing as blues on the "moisture band", but there does not appear to be a lot of new moisture shows in the surrounding area's, is there any chance it's the water run-off from the sand-jet :-)

Mainly good weather for the next 15 days too !

Re-spouting your previously failed stories wont achieve your goals Nigel. Paul was not in control of that decision but the smart man behind it, Cathal Friel, chose well in the end.

Italian rare disease specialist Chiesi Farmaceuti has agreed a €1.18 billion deal to acquire the Irish company behind a breakthrough therapy for a rare and painful skin disease that mostly affects children.

More movement in Irish gas investments & they may well all be connected !!!

"Corrib gas field Operator expands into biogas" (Vermilion is operator)

My thoughts are that Ryan may be part can kicking, to avoid being sued under the ECT &/or is being pushed by reality of low carbon native gas & its programmed use beyond 2050. Maybe too, Nephin's/Canadian Pension Fund's (43% shareholders Corrib field) new bio-gas investments that have moved the permitting forward, hopefully for a triple Corrib, Inishkea West & Corrib South partnering.

A very funny man, OLDSLOW, I have the same quote on a book on my bookshelf, somewhat mad cap 60's goonies stuff & somewhat before my time, but another true comic genius. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/253091.The_Essential_Spike_Milligan

Androcles B, not sure if we really need new Artificial Stupidity programmes, seems like nature has already aced it :-) However, spent an hour this weekend listening to this fantastic recent AI generated sketch, from the 14 year dead US comedy genius George Carlin.

Warning - it's 50% bad language for those of gentle demeanour !!! :-)

A good day for Europa & if this 2 year extension has been awarded in good faith, for the island of Ireland, an all island gas network, relying on locally sourced gas and/or GB imports.

Also, as has been mentioned many times in the past, the shipping over & back of a rig from Scotland to the Corrib area, was quoted as about 50-70% (?) of any drill's costs.

I repeat the idea that a shared & partnered triple licence drill of Corrib Deep, Inishkea West & Corrib South is the most economical way forward for all , by hugely reducing drill costs per licence, risk of failure & the best way too to protect Vermilions near $4 billion sunk infrastructure costs.

Thanks Jules8, for confirming these large changes adjacent to the MOU-3 site. Re-measuring in day-time, using the site "measure" function (not cardboard today :-), its about 300 m X 100 m right next to the 100m X 100m well site. Somewhat reminds me of the rectangular shape on page 8 of the Sept 22 presentation. Looks like we are finally getting ahead of the puck, a la Wayne Gretzky !!! GLA
