'The first minister of Scotland and wales all they have done is wait to see what Boris does then do the same but 3/4 weeks later plus they only have 8 million between the two countries you can’t compare plus is either country was independent now you would be bankrupt especially Scotland as the would of had no money from oil and not a penny from the British government'

Punctuation was developed for a reason.
The above reads like a excerpt from a Vicky Pollard aketch!

...in the PoG since the close, must bode well for today.
No doubt we'll see profit taking first thing.

...a few weeks can make.
A month ago, if we hit 200p we'd be reaching for the sell button, today 200p is seen as time to buy!
CEY, got to love this share.

Well, good buying window anyway!

...200p !
Where did that come from?

...a Blue day in prospect!

The website does what it needs to and I can't see any problems with it. Works well enough for me.

With the COMEX futures over $2000 and things looking good here, the opening price must surely be in the 210's.

...a nice message regarding the divi!
Not many good income shares around at the moment.

We'd all like to know that but we only have the estimates, which are available on the IOG website.
If you intend to invest, I'd suggest reading up on the company and it's assets first.
Be advised, this is not a 'Get Rich Quick' share, more of a smoulderer, which will hopefully burst into flame in a year or so!

...at around 205p. Slight rise but lower than expected, by me anyway.

...an interesting opening this morning.
I feel the SP will rise on the strength of Gold and the decline of the $, but this is CEY, so who can predict!

This is a similar map showing IOG's existing blocks, as well as the CalE blocks.

Draw a line across from Skegness and up from Gt. Yarmouth, where they intersect are the IOG blocks.

You could try this page. It shows a map of the area and the relinquished licences.
IOG's interests are mainly blocks 48 & 49. 48/25b has some nearby blocks which may be productive, although a lot of the area has been explored and relinquished. The relinquishment reports are interesting and give a clear picture of why the block was deemed sub-commercial.

As Mole says, it is a bit cumbersome, but is worth looking at.

I agree that Gold has always been seen as a store of value, but has not always held it's value.
I had a teacher at school who was in Hungary at the end of WW2. Inflation was rife and the currency worthless. He told us of people trading Gold jewellery, rings, coins and even teeth for simple things like cigarettes, bread, eggs and milk.
The thing with Gold is that you can't eat it, smoke it or drink it. It only has value in a civilised society.

32nd Offshore Licensing Round
On 11th July 2019, the 32st UK Offshore Licensing Round officially opened and we are inviting applications for licences. Applications are being accepted up to 14.00 on the 12th November 2019 through the LARRY system on the Energy Portal.

A total of 768 blocks or part-blocks on offer across the main producing areas of the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) with acreage on offer in the Central North Sea, Northern North Sea, Southern North Sea and the West of Shetlands.

As part of its continued commitment to improving access to quality data and insights, the OGA is making a significant volume of data available to support the 32nd UK Offshore Licensing Round. These groundbreaking data packs have been carefully collated to assist industry in their efforts to stimulate exploration and encourage new opportunities within the mature areas of the UKCS.

Companies may also be interested in the 5th Faroese Licensing Round, the timing of which has been aligned with the United Kingdom’s 32nd Licensing Round.

Decisions are expected to be made in the second quarter of 2020.

ADDITIONAL BLOCKS NOMINATED

As part of the 32nd Offshore Licensing Round, which opened on the 11th July 2019, companies were given the opportunity to nominate additional blocks in adjacent areas for possible inclusion in the round. A number of nominations were received, which have now been fully reviewed. The OGA is pleased to announce, today 8th August 2019, that a further 32 blocks have been added to the round with details now available. (please see updated block listing and map).
A total of 796 blocks are now available in the 32nd Offshore Licensing Round. All applications are to be made via the LARRY system on the Energy Portal, by the 12th November 2019 (14:00GMT).

That said, some good news on Harvey wouldn't go amiss!

But in reality, we knew the rigs would be built and deployed. As I said earlier, we know the timescale and the only really new info will be the licencing which if favourable may give us a boost. Until that happens, the reports can only confirm that things are keeping to schedule.

Who's driving?

My car AC is 15 degrees up, I think that has a leak!
