Hope you're right Einbert.
11 business days left to meet Andrew and the Company's stated timeline.
Update will be required one way or another.
Can't imagine this running right to the end of March - if it does, the RNS won't make great reading, in my opinion.
It's either a deal, no deal, or an excuse.
Hopefully the former at some nice numbers; please not the middle one; if it's the last option, a "talks ongoing" won't cut it, I'm afraid.
More detail will be required as to, for instance, the number of parties involved and the proposed shape of any deal(s). No Company names need be identified, but anything other than a a pretty fulsome explanation of what is going on and what JOG's expectations are will be required for a very patient (thus far) shareholder base and for wider market confidence.
Remember the farm out was launched over 2 years ago (early March 2021).
Technical due diligence was apparently completed in October 2022.
Leaves 5 months to talk numbers.
A deal was certainly going to be completed by end of first quarter 2023.
Looks like plenty of time has been allowed and passed.
We are all aware of the shenanigans from Westminster, which won't have helped, but, in the field life of 30 years, Government will interfere probably on a yearly basis with their tax raids and other genius initiatives, so trying to factor that in to "a deal" with any great certainty, is, well....good luck attempting it.
Just get the deal done.

I see Alexa and Philip are talking to each other again on the BB, or should that be Simon and Briggs?

Well done Walter, or should that be Briggs, or Alexa, or Philip even.
I'm very well.
Oh the IP adresses.
See how long this post lasts.

Well 16 days to go from the "Certainly" deadline.
Can't believe this was in Mr Benitz plans on the 29th November 2022, but in the spirit of fair play, 16 days it is.
A lot of money tied up in this, so like all genuine holders, rooting for a successful outcome, although more apprehensive as the days pass.
16 days of waiting to see if the RNS drops.
If 31st March 2023 arrives with no news (please no), I think Mr Benitz would have to go, as would any advisors who signed off the RNS on 29/11/2022.
They would be a busted flush then.
Neither the market, nor the vast majority of shareholders could really trust a word he (they) said, and confidence is a huge part of the success or failure of this Company.
With hindsight, it was a real "brag or burst" statement in the RNS.
I wonder if there is regret that the language was used - who knows apart from the Board.
Still holding and hope with all my heart the Mr Benitz is bragging about the deal struck - I will be quick to criticise if the certainty doesn't come to fruition, so in any fair world, I will happily cheer any success that he brings.
Come on Andrew, issue us with an "I told you so" RNS and bask in the glory.

Good video everhopeful.
The problem with these guys is that they know what they are talking about and need the best part of 60 minutes to get it across.
Greta just needs to say "How dare you".
The politicians just need to vomit "climate emergency and global warming".
Takes about 10 seconds, can fit in a news broadcast and plays into the narrative of scaremongering, we're doomed and isn't life dreadful.
Bird Flu, swine flu, ebola, the ozone hole, co-vid and many many more events that were front page news and going to wipe us all out.
Well we're still here, but the bad news is we are all going to go at sometime, as a result of something.
We don't know when the sometime is, or what the something will be that will take us, but it's been in the post since the day we were born.
Worry for the world if you want.
Better still, enjoy yourself.

Ironing my Hitler uniform tonight, as it would be inappropriate for me to wear anything else tomorrow, given my views.

Hi JODO
I think the video that Dick shared is pretty good, well researched by people who appear to know what they are talking about (Dick was good enough to share it previously).
Your post (edited) says "is there anybody who would factor his belief into public policy without some evidence of expertise in the area!!" if I'm understanding you correctly (forgive me if I get you wrong as discussion boards perhaps don't fully cover peoples meanings clearly) is probably one of the most barking mad comments I've read on this Board - and considering we have James Simon posting on here, that really is some going!.
If I take your comment as written does that mean you have to be an "expert" on something to comment on it. Really!!!
So if I go for a meal and it's abysmal, I have to be a Michelin Star Chef to say so, or comment on it?
If I watch Match of the Day and a Centre Forward misses an open goal from 6 yards, I need to be a professional footballer to say it was atrocious football?
We aren't allowed to say if invading Iraq was a good/ bad idea because we weren't in the military?
Politicians make policy decisions daily (unfortunately). Have they all to be experts in the field? (We have a transport minister in Scotland who is a Primary School Teacher - ideally, she would be nowhere near any such decision making, or indeed Government, but that is the elected system we have).
Are you suggestion that the entire Governing and Electoral process we have now be ripped up and replaced? (you might actually have an ally in me there)
Like I say, I hope I'm in some way misunderstanding your statement on the requirement for "expertise" before opinions can be offered.
As to the BB being for discussion about JOG, fair enough.
It's just that it would be a pretty quiet place if we were to discuss matters solely relating to JOG.
There's been about 3 RNS in the last year and 365 days worth of BB typing, with all of us (yes, me as well trying to guess what's going on).
So climate change might be a side show for you, but a gentle reminder - JOG is located in the Central North Sea (Scotland); the current Scottish Government has a presumption against Oil and Gas Exploration; their coalition Green Colleagues want to ban it completely, forthwith; the current SNP Leadership contenders and de-facto next First Ministers of Scotland want to hold referendums on Independence within 3 months of any election.
Our comments may be a "diversion" to the BB.
They will hopefully not affect investment decisions that relate to JOG.
But, if I were about to chuck a billion quid into an investment over some 30 years with those maniacs around, it would definitely be on a list of things to be aware of (at least) and worthy of some discussion on this BB.
PS - Dick, I told you you were a far right crank or had far right crankiness about you!!
That big orange ball in the sky burning at some squillion degrees will be controlled by us cycling instead of driving cars.

Dick
A pretty authoritative video.
Unfortunately, by sharing it, you are now Far Right......the go to "shutdown" of cranks and weirdos the world over now.
As for the guys in the video, they must still be crying their eyes out that years of research from multiple credible sources has been burst by a wee girl with pig tails saying "How Dare You!"
They must be inconsolable, as the world media and political "elite" have sided with the school truant.
I wonder if I'll be around for the day when the penny drops and the masses discover they have been had.
I fully believe that the position of planets, gravitational pulls and tidal flows dictate our climate, not your Granny driving around in her Ford Fiesta or some cows in the field having a pick at the grass.
Moons, supermoons etc have long been used to accurately predict high tides.
Perhaps we should ask the headcases to stop everyone driving their cars for a month and see if wee can stop the high tide at your local harbour.
We all know it wouldn't make one jot of a difference.
As an aside, saw this on twitter yesterday. The movements and gravitational pull, together with the position of the earth's axis has much, much, much more effect on our climate than any unwashed, knit your own clothes, lentil eating deviant will ever comprehend. (perhaps if we can make them feel guilty about living in a world with a solar system they might start taking out their inadequacies on by shaking their fists at the sky and leave the rest of us to get on with enjoying our lives - with a few quid from a JOG sale in our pockets).
Anyway, here goes.

Yep - agree - this "Net Zero" malarkey has to be stopped, but there is next to no chance of that happening.
No spines available in Westminster or the media generally to stand up and shout stop.
It's now engrained in politicians mind as a "fact"; News outlets have some climate "emergency story" on every broadcast and web page (it was disposing of clothing and cotton up here on Friday that was going to lead to the end of civilisation as we know it - according to BBC Scotland anyway).
Why blame cotton?
We have enough loonies in positions of power who can do it all by themselves without having to blame clothes, cotton and (I forgot) anaesthetics.
I don't know when I was asked about this climate emergency thing, or when I was supposed to have voted for it, but my word, it certainly seems to have been brought in by a landslide.
Perhaps it's time for another referendum or two.
Had enough of the Scottish Independence one? The Brexit one?
Let's have one on Climate Change on whether we (Joe Public) believe in it; whether we should be squandering billions of pounds upon this work of fiction?
And finally, just to give the Liberal, Green Guardian Readers a reason to get really boilingly mad, let's have a vote on this Gender Reform Shenanigans (you know the one about men saying they're woman and rapists being women, despite being hung like a Belfast Ham).
Has to be done in the safe space of the polling booth - the lynch mobs of social media, the televised media and Westminster would have you hounded to death if you didn't agree with their perversions.

50 weeks Walter Mitty has been a member; 700 posts in 50 weeks (coming up for his first birthday.
The JOG BOD are directly responsible for us having to listen to this cabbage for so long by not striking a deal by now.
Our sanity is on you Andrew.
First ever post from the JOG Share Guru - 16/03/2022.
"I've been following Jersey Oil over the last year and recently took the brave decision of investing at £2.10 a share . This share reminds me of the practice of ' pump and dump ' as seen on Wolf on wall street. Can someone explain
1. Does Jersey have any income ?
2. To get to this stage the directors have fund raised approx £40m, against a mkt cap of £55m ?
3. On very attractive salaries with very little to show for it.
I'd hate to sound negative as I'm a shareholder but the thought smoke screen and mirrors comes to light"
Second ever post some 2 hours later (god help us)
"...promised my other half should it multi bag my 10,000 shares will help pay off part of our mortgage and pay for a nice break in Ibiza. I doubt I would get the same return in an instant savings account."
He apparently now owns several hundred thousand shares.
So, yes, Walter Mitty is one of many names suitable for you.
Most on this board know what you game is Walter, but perhaps some poor soul might check in one day and think you actually had any idea, credibility, honesty, integrity on the subject you post.
Spoiler for any newbies - he doesn't.

Surety
Remember who you are discussing things with. This board's Walter Mitty.
If you remember his very first (o many nonsensical jibberings) he was chucking in £10,000.00 to a Company that he didn't know if it was producing any revenue.
He's now telling us to remember what was going on when the first Verbier result came in (which was way before Walter raised his head).
Lately, he/she has told us they have about 100 million shares in JOG purchasing every day, apparently, with a Board of Directors he/she doesn't trust.
As transparent as can be and as shallow as a grave.
A mischief maker at best, if I'm being polite, but actually much worse if I'm going to be honest.
Let Walter Mitty play with his/ her rattle and attention seek before they get put into their cot for the night.

Aye, but then again, you're a tit.

Surety
Straight copy and paste with no editing.
I was quite pleased with the response.
We all now things can "certainly" change, but I think a "deal" is in place, with perhaps a possible better option, or variance of the "deal" being discussed.
I don't see the advisers or the NSTA folk being so bullish or forthcoming without one.
Is it subject to financial regulations ie possible Budget stupidity; perhaps Quarterly Main Board meetings (ie maybe the December meeting, but definitely the March meeting); or just the complexity of "multiple" parties (I think that was the wording) sitting round the table holding their cheques to see who releases first!
Who knows?
But I do feel a bit better about things today.
Just issue the RNS and hopefully release the cash!!

Further to my earlier post, I emailed the NTSA regarding the Verbier Licence Extension. All as below.
I note that you have extended the Licence for the above (Verbier P2170.
On what basis has this been undertaken?
The Company has some £ 6 - £ 7 million approximately in funds.
Is this sufficient for the works required? If not, what assurances do you have that this Licence area will proceed to production.
Thank you (today 10.34 am)
Reply (today 16.34 pm)
Dear Mr XXXXX,
Thank you for your email of today.
The NSTA do not normally comment when an extension is granted.
However, you may wish to look at our published guidance here:
https://www.nstauthority.co.uk/exploration-production/development/field-development-plans/
https://www.nstauthority.co.uk/news-publications/publications/2018/financial-guidance/
which sets out the matters that we will take into consideration when considering an application for development and production consent.
I hope that this is helpful.
Yours sincerely,
NSTA Correspondence Team

Seems to me they must be happy with the financing going forward.

I agree with you Einbert.
We are now 3 months on from the RNS announcement.
We are giving Andrew the benefit of until the end of March for Q1, but he did say during Q1, and I can't believe that he would seriously allow that to run up to the 31st March as the basis for his announcement.
It has been a pretty thin gruel in terms of announcements to the shareholder base this past year, but the core base of shareholders has, at my best guess, stayed pretty loyal with little in the way of share selling.
There is a danger of us sounding like kids with the "are we there yet" chat.
However, in my opinion we are well into the range of Andrew's "time added on for injuries" clock., with a stated date already missed.
That alone could allow an up date - by RNS or Media round, release - they've done it before in previous years.
It could be - everything still on track; everything still on track, but delayed because of ...take your pick; or sorry folks, it ain't happening and your cash pile is about to get hammered along with JOG's fighting fund to keep the lights on (please no).
An email to the NSTA might be in order to ask why how they extended the Verbier Licence? With JOG only having some £6 or £7 million in the bank, were they convinced or "certain" that the finance was in place to take the Licence forward. (they would probably hide behind commercial sensitivity to avoid answering, but if this goes pear shaped, it will be a valid question to ask of them). The NSTA are there (surely) to lok after us all.

Let's hope it's this Thursday!!

...most certainly, I do/

Thanks PC01
As I invest on the AIM market, I think I'm probably daft enough to be an MP.
Unfortunately, I am not corrupt, so I think that career path is blocked.
As nothing is happening with JOG, I may as well up date you on today's Leadership Developments.
The Muslim chap has really exceeded all expectations today.
That Indian Council of Scotland and the UK, along with the Muslim Council of the UK, have issued an extraordinary joint statement saying that:
"The Indian community in Scotland would live in fear if Humza Yousaf becomes First Minister."
Quite the achievement, given what goes on at the Kashmir border between these two. A Joint Statement no less!!
Akin to the Israelis and the Palestinians issuing a joint press release about violence in a neighbouring country.
This is no mean feet and it's achievement should in no way be diminished.
Rumours of a possible fourth candidate emerged over night, in Jenny "Gridlock" Gilruth - one of three transport ministers we have.
Well qualified as she is a Primary School Teacher (in modern and social studies - you've seen the decline in the High Street lately with all these Social Study and Modern Study shops and businesses closing down, haven't you?).
Qualified to tell us to tidy our desks, hang our coats up and not to forget our homework.
Remarkably PC01, last week she told us that the A( was not to be "dualled" (promised by the SNP in 2007, but never delivered).
She had the sheer gall to stand up and say the reason was Brexit (excuse for everything) and (sit down before you hear this one), the war in Ukraine.
Perhaps your brother has seen Putin's tanks somewhere north of Perth? Or perhaps the speed cameras don't take pictures but fire missiles?
Maybe your brother could venture out in his car, obviously carrying a big white flag to avoid un-necessary blood shed and give us an on the ground report as to how the hostilities are going?
Incidentally, after years of failed lobbying for a road to be built to the isolated village of Arnish on the Isle of Raasay in the 1960's, 56-year-old Calum Macleod picked up an engineering manual, shovel, pick, and wheelbarrow and almost singlehandedly constructed a 2 mile stretch of road that now bears his name and has been adopted by the Council. Took him 10 years, but still puts the Scottish Government to shame.
Thankfully, late on this morning, Gridlock Gilruth ruled herself out of the race and backed the Muslim chap (the one so toxic that both the Indians and ****stanis have united to come up with today's word conundrum "barge - pole- touch - don't - ten- foot"
