There is no RNS about this. Take a look at the Angus website investor questions, or have a watch of the last webinar, where George confirmed Angus will pay a dividend to shareholders next year.

Angus Energy (AIM: ANGS) is pleased to announce that the side-track of SF-07 programme began today with testing of blow-out preventers in advance of spudding the well. The Company will supply regular photographic coverage supported by graphics of the progress of the drilling programme on its social media platforms with a 12 hour delay. This will allow any material change to the programme to be properly communicated by RNS ahead of the updates.
This being a side track rather than a new well, the Company expects to be running equipment in hole to a depth of 1300m reasonably swiftly over the weekend and it is above this depth, at around 1150m that a whipstock (essentially a wedge allowing the hole to be drilled at an angle to the vertical) will be set and the 9 5/8" window will be milled through the casing and cement.
Early next week directional drilling begins in earnest in 8.5'' bore at a low angle to the vertical to a total depth of around 2,560m (TD) which should terminate about 1m into the target reservoir. The speed of drilling the first section (8.5'' section) is likely to vary during this element of the programme, but an estimate of 8-10 days is not unreasonable.
Thereafter the drilling will be nearly horizontal and slower for a further 300-400 m. The total programme, including clean up of the well, is expected to last some 35 days. The Company may be able to advise success in the actual drilling activity after approximately 30 days but a further 10 days would be required to begin to have confidence as to likely production rates. However few drilling programmes follow predicted timetables closely and investors should expect variance.
Production from the existing wells continues at previously advised rates at Saltfleetby excepting a four hour planned maintenance shutdown yesterday for a software upgrade.
END.
Tom, could you provide me with the multiplier you use for converting the daily published values (e.g. 0.1588 for yesterday) into mmscf (I am using 35.3147) and then the conversion value to therms (I am using 10282) ?
Probably like you, I have a spreadsheet to track the daily/monthly values and am happy to use your calculations (if mine are wrong)
Not sure if it would make much difference, but worth a minute of your time to complete the consultation and support the injection...

This does not work (for me)
I just emailed the BBC to ask that they cover the news from Angus (5 million standard cubic feet per day to be introduced into the grid very soon) Especially as the lack of UK gas is a very hot topic at the moment. BBC covered the ship arriving from Australia with gas a few days ago, so let's hope they pick up on Angus's story.
