The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
Good morning Avi8r & Mal
An observation from someone who does not fully understand the numbers - The recent RNS re CCS started off as follows:
"Block Energy plc, the development and production company focused on Georgia, is pleased to announce a study identifying a Carbon Capture and Storage ("CCS") opportunity within the Company's Block XIB with the potential to support a major net-zero CO2 industrial hub."
While the CCS is a fantastic asset for net zero credentials and Project 3 profitability it strikes me that as the CCS capacity is so large it will outstrip the actual demand by a considerable margin, even from a "major" industrial hub, so in reality may not be fully utilized. Just my thoughts on the matter and happy to be corrected.
Rlightor - I totally agree with regard to the gas play point of view, I totally agree with not giving the Scirrocco mob a foothold but my point was AJW used to go on the attack accusing certain poster of being in some sort of bashing syndicate when it was quite clear they were just straightforward investors expressing a point of view.
MgBRG96 - Maladoni bought in last week so why would he not like the rise, your observation does not make any sense.
Mal - You may remember AJW who used to shout down any poster who presented an alternative view - someone here has taken his place.
Last time we had production figures was the the Q3 Quarterly update but they have now stopped. Year end audited results have to be provided by 30th June. We already know from the first three quarters that year end Dec 2023 should produce record production figures and revenue. However, when they provided flow figures for the first five days of production on WR34 they only provided a boepd figure and did not specify how much oil was being produced but I think you are already aware of that.
From RNS 2nd April:
"Beacon confirms that the rig mobilisation is on track with the rig due to arrive on location in mid-April with the sidetrack operation scheduled to commence the following week."
That sounds to me that the rig will probably arrive on site within the next couple of days,
We could of course get an RNS at any time but I think it is probably more likely at the beginning of next week to say the sidetrack operation has commenced.
BB - I totally disagree, Block are much, much further down the line than they were four years ago and it would be ridiculous to oust PH at this point in time in the middle of potential farm out negotiations. You now have to let the farm out process take its course and await the outcome but it will take time, if at Xmas the SP is still at 1p and there are no takers for a farm out then you may have a point.
My point was that the new NED, John Barker (RoleyBirkin) was keeping a close eye on who said what, etc on this board, If you check back RB did call out Guzzler on this board for allegedly misinformation and that is what Guzzler (aka stuie62) now says he was banned for, Draw your own conclusions.
Thanks Roger / Mikeepikee - Won't be holding you to the numbers.
The way I see it I would put the chance of the sidetrack being successful at about 85%.
Then its do we get a "modest" result (say 250 bopd), a "good" result (say 500 bopd) or an "very good" result (say 900 bopd).
I am hoping for a minimum of 500 bopd but would treat everything above that number as a bonus!!
I am not sure if you all realise that John Barker and " Roley Birkin" who used to post on this board are the same person - I thought some of you might find this post from RB from 11 August, 2023 to be of interest:
Stock bashing.
This scheme is usually orchestrated by online message board posters (a.k.a. "Bashers") who make up false and/or misleading information about the target company in an attempt to get shares for a cheaper price. This activity, in most cases, is conducted by posting libellous posts on multiple public forums...

Is this an orchestrated event and what may the implications be if so?
Good information Avi8R
"The report stated Georgia's gas reserves amount to 5.7 trillion m3 and went on to refer to Block Energy mining a large oil and gas field 30 km from Tbilisi using horizontal wells."
Re-assuring that Block are being specifically mentioned in TV news items.
