Very good point Markie, this must have been on Ryan's desk since 28 April 2023, a constructive delay to scupper the Fortress LNG Cork planning permission & afterwards awaiting full cabinet approval. This is Minister Ryans's second go at an Energy Security plan, after the previous plan was universally slammed. CEPA is a UK consultancy that Ryan twice outsourced the reports too, with less of his agenda followed in the 2nd report & more gas required as an interim energy source.

Just found this huge news from Monday & it coincides surprisingly with Tuesdays release.

The High Court has agreed to consider a developer’s challenge to a refusal of planning permission for a €650 million liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the Shannon estuary near Ballylongford, Co Kerry.

Several flavours of opinion here, good existing licences will be honoured (allegedly).

Ireland is going to acquire a gas storage ship to meet future contingencies, Energy minister Eamon Ryan has announced – and there will be a “small charge” to your bill to pay for it.

Owl85, I agree £20 is a very high target, in the short-medium term, so lets split the difference & say £10.15 :-)))

Wizz drops approx. 10% on v good results & then 5 days later jumps 7.5%, on maybe only a minor upgrade. Very much a sell on any news & traders market.

UBS cuts Wizz Air price target to 3,625 (3,900) pence - 'buy' - 13/11

fake predfan, you really lack imagination !!!

myself, i could fly ryanair to oujda & take the train to guercif & visit all 4 mou well sites by taxi with my long lens camera. that would take about 8 hours one way & £100 & i could easily maintain a watching brief for a week for about £400-500.

****, i could even employ a local to take daily videos of each mou well site, for a reasonable fee.

even simpler, i could pay the bucks & get the early most detailed satellite images, which would quite clearly show the well site action.

not to mention, loose lips, etc, etc.

France & Spain & Belgium imported 20M+ tonnes of Russian LNG since their full invasion of Ukraine !!! All of Europe need new major sources of gas !!! GLA, DAB

W1 well has produced at gross rates of over 950 bbls of oil per day !!!

A good day for investor questions then :-)

Maybe there is some news bubbling up, like our gas in Wressle !!!

Also the Irish Energy Review is due out this week (allegedly). GLA, DONALB

Agreed LythamSlim, that does seem to be case for the gas offtake at the well head, but to fully develop & to sell on the licence, with stub equity, will need a major (International) Oil & Gas company.

Nobody mentioned that the ongoing Israel Vs Hamas war, may have changed Predators plans, timing & strategy, with a large Israeli gas company, often mentioned as a potential suitor. Any large gas deal between Morocco & Israeli could now be delayed, on hold or even cancelled. I can only trust that Paul knows best & will act in his & our best interests.

MK111 - I prefer the French term - "lapsus révélateur" :-)

For the bedwetters, better to invest in Pampers !!!

Ryanair posts half year profit of €2.18bn following record summer traffic.

Europa Oil & Gas - Inishkea article in Irish Times today, trying all leverage to get some Government gas development backing, can only be good for our Corrib South too.

As no one else posted, Guercif cloud cover 30/10 satellite pass was 83%, poor visibility at all Mou sites. Today's weather, more cloud, some rain.

SkyTruth Flaring Map now updated to 27/10, no flares visible to me !!! But please check.

I just posted this on PRD chat, regarding similar postings there ! Looks from the Examiner article, that a total re-development of the just de-commissioned Kinsale facilities, would be necessary. It feels again, like someone is pishing up my leg !!!

"BRV & Jimmy, this reads that there is no longer a functional Kinsale pipeline to re-use, nor an un-cemented well connection. If Kinsale is to be re-used, it would probably need a whole new infrastructure re-build & maybe new well drills. Its also 45+ years old.

Nothing visible from Mou 1 to 4 !

The Board of Upland now advises that it has received information that has cast significant doubt on the veracity of the Approach and identity of the potential offeror. In particular, the Company has now received communication from Mr William G Bollinger, the co-founder of Egerton Capital, whom the Company was led to believe was associated with the Approach and the potential offeror. This communication from Mr William G Bollinger has clarified that he has no connection to the Approach or any offeror vehicle known as SEC Capital.

Or could be the new retention/burn-off basin filled with water/lining, or maybe a big dark truck. No light up seen on the SWIR image.
