Is anyone in personal contact with Tiburn ?,
hopefully he is taking a well earned break,
but he has not posted for a few days.
I hope all is well with you and yours my friend .
GL to everyone else and lets hope for better tomorrows for all here and in Canada.

Good Evening Everyone.
Here we are again awaiting news ,
on this occasion i am as anxious as everyone else for something positive.
The frustration on this board is certainly justified.
A good case for lack of Comms is undeniable,
and this time AM MUST GIVE THE DOG A BONE.
I rather suspect that we will not get much tomorrow,
the bare minimum again.
I am not worried because i am still convinced that the fundementals and the prospects for the company are excellent.
I think that the CUDA issue and the new discovery issues are inextricably linked,
if we cannot have news on one we will not get news on the other.
But ARTY needs to remember that we all on here are owners of this company also,
if he is restricted by NDA'S he must tell us !!!!,
even he cannot explain for what and why at this time .
IT IS NOT THE LACK OF DETAILS THAT IS SO FRUSTRATING ,
IT IS NOT KNOWING IF THERE ARE REASONS TO BE FRUSTRATED THAT ARE IRKING EVERYONE .
So come on AM do not forget the supporters of the company,
we may not be of major importance to you,
but please do not forget that officially as far as we know,
the majority of the shares in this company are in PI'S hands .
Come on ARTY show us all that we have not been forgotten.

Great post Daceon.

Good Evening Everyone,
some interesting thoughts about the possibilities about upcoming news on the board today.
A thought has just occured to me that may have some relevance,
AM seemed keen to purchase his shares and sort his options out before the the Blackout period,
if he was in control of all the timings for news why the rush,
we all know that the annual results cannot be spectacular ,
hopefully the production update and a forward looking statements should be positive.
But maybe he was worried that news he does not control ( a big bucks buyer for Cuda for instance ) may break before the 30th and therefore decided to act just in case.
Just a thought.
GLA This Week.

I am afraid i missed Jay 12 in his pomp days ,
condolences to his family,
i will certainly join those raising a glass for him at the appropriate time.
RIP.

Good Evening Everyone,
I am with Noob and Shouston on the P- issue,
I am not totally convinced there is one but as long as its for added value then I am not concerned.
For some considerable time I have been convinced that I cannot lose on COPL,
the only variables are how much will I make and when.
We know AM is not big on comms ( at least not frivolous ones ),
I actually believe the only error of judgement he has made since the purchase of Atomic was to listen to who ever advised that our RTO would not require suspension ( that person or persons should be taken outside and given a damn good k.....g ),
remember when we finally came out of suspension,
we opened at 64p obviously what MM's considered ball park fair value.
They could not have known that an irate Hadron would sell and keep selling and killing the sp with it.
Then the traders moved in realising there was a lot of scope to play here on a liquid share base.
In august just as positive things were happening CUDA went bust ,
so AM hatched a plan.
Then the deeps drill discovery came into play,
silent running mode commenced presumably hoping to pick up Cuda for a song.
Then the enormity of the deeps discovery became apparent,
In January for what ever reason ( maybe to purchase shares maybe for other reasons) AM announced the size of the discovery.
All the while WTI was rising making the Cuda WI more valuable and more interesting to other parties.
In February the a......e from Russia kicked of sending WTI through the roof.
My point being that the goalposts have been constantly moving ,
mostly in a positive way for COPL.
There could be any number of scenario's playing out behind the scenes,
and most likely which ever way this plays out will be good for us all on here.
I for one will be glad when the Cuda situation is sorted one way or the other as it is only holding us back now.
Finally we will stop the goalpost moving and we may be able to score at last.
As Shaa just put it so succinctly would you rather be in this share or out !
We will understand better where we are going wthin the next 5 weeks Max.
GLA.

I would go for $35 million to Continental .

So all we have to do is sit on our hands,
anybody that thinks AM is not working flat out behind the scenes to maximise all the assets we have
for his and our company is deluded .
It may take time and we may also feel like “Mushrooms “ at times lol, we may also think we are being kept out of the loop at times,
but negotiations and tactics are called the DARK arts for a reason,
its because they must take place in the DARK.
Ther have been many twists and turns in our recent past which we do not understand ,
and i expect there wil be more down the line ,
but i still believe that all will be well lol,
and that our time will come.

Good evening everyone,
firstly let me apologise to the board,
I have been very busy lately and although I have been following what's going on I have been distracted by events elsewhere.
But yesterday I noticed a surreptitious attack on Tiburn which was neither justified or warranted.
I have noticed that some have become bogged down and obsessed with the minor details and have maybe forgotten the bigger picture.
There has always been criticism on this board for the poor quality comms transmitted by AM ,
I have also felt this from time to time.
There were posts hinting that the our brothers on the Canadian BB have a more realistic and more accurate view of the prospects of COPL than our board,
I have only looked at some of the entries from there,
and would in no way wish to criticize them,
I do believe that most of the research posted on this board is of merit genuine and factual.
So who turns out to be more accurate only the future will tell.
Firstly lets remember that our sometimes maligned CEO is an OILMAN first and last.
He is clearly not a spin doctor,
but as far as I am concerned when a man like AM puts his money where his mouth is we should take note.
I also would like to draw peoples attention to the fact that the PRB is only relatively young in it's development,
https://jpt.spe.org/it-may-be-boom-time-oil-rich-powder-river-basin
This article is from 2018 but I would urge people to wade through the whole of the article ,
it maybe useful in the understanding of our potential.
I am going to pick a few points out which will maybe quantify our possibilities here ( even if the market has yet to assign any value to them yet ).
Firstly,“What’s unique about the Powder is just the areal extent of some of these zones aren’t the same magnitude as you see in the Permian or the Midcontinent. So zip code really matters,” .
It is possible we are sitting on one of the best Zip codes in the PRB.
Secondly,
Oil and condensate production from the basin is forecast to jump 25,000 B/D this year to 136,000 B/D and continue rising next year above its 2015 high of 144,000 B/D ,
so potential production from our FDU could be higher than the whole production form the PRB in 2018 in time.
Thirdly,
The influx of permits has been part of “a race for operatorship,”
please note that 3 out of the 5 companies in the list above this statement have been taken out by larger companies.
Fourthly,
Federal units allow for the permitting of up to 25,000 acres where little-to-no exploration activity has occurred. It designates a single operator among, in some cases, dozens of partners, removing the need to file permits early and often to secure control of drilling and production work. A unit is challenging to form, mainly because there are often differences of opinion between the partners as to who should operate it.
Remember our possible discovery is called the Federal Deeps Unit.

lol.

Could be ,
A trick of the oil,
or
The lamb lies down in Wyoming,
oh lord ,
You better make it a minibus lol.

Panama has it right,
Sparkz ,
if we do not stand up to him now ,
we will be engaged by him in a few weeks time anyway ,
do you seriously think he will stop at Ukraine.
Anyway enough pontifcating.
GLA.

Thanks 34 ,
together we stand.
B.

You could be right Large ,
but i will stand my posting history up against yours with pride ,
go and look at the recent self intersted posts on your other board,
that is part of the reason i HANG MY HEAD IN SHAME.

I hope i have said what everybody else is thinking.

Good Evening Everyone,
for those of us who have done their own research on COPL there was always plenty of upside that we know will eventually emerge.
But once the discovery was announced in August and confirmed in January was revealed the future prosperity of this share was all but guaranteed.
The only variable was going to be timing,
how and when the market will react,
we all know the ins and outs of what is going on here and I am not inclined to go into details at the moment.
Suffice to say that the stars have been aligning in our favour for maybe as much as 6 month .
Unfortunately,
with every dark day that passes at the moment our prospects are increasing exponentially,
of course like everybody else on here this was my hope and judgement.
But I have to say that with every day that is passing the gloss is waning of my judgement.
I have led a very full and exciting life ,
along with poor judgement and ( 3 wives later ) and with many mistakes and a very late convert to trying to make my money work in my favour,
I could do with a a result here.
But at the age of 62 ( eventful years ),
I have to confess I want to hang my head in shame.

Everyone of my generation have had the best of everything that has ever been on offer as far as life is concerned the only wars we have had to face were ones heavily weighted on our side and with the greatest of respect to all our armed forces self indulged by our leaders.

Now when we are faced with a bully and it is time to stand up and be counted,we are lead in the so called democratic world by a bunch of cowards and charlatans,
who it seems will say and do anything but the right and just things.
Their final gambit will be to stop taking oil and gas from the scum bag that is
VLADIMIR PUTIN.
They do not want to do it because of the financial pain it will inflict on us all.
But have to say that that pain is the least we could bear for our brothers in
COURAGIOUS UKRAINE.
I for one would like to stand right beside them ( even though our leaders say it would be illegal for us to go there and fight ).
So please Ladies and Gentlemen temper your impatience.
Our time is coming ,
but remember those that are going to pay the ultimate price for our future success.

Good evening everyone,
I have to confess i am a little disappointed with AM this evening.
I have never really criticised AM about the lack of communication,
but this time i am incandescent with his attitude this time.
He knows and monitors what the researchers on this board discuss,
he also knows that such a small increase in production would increase speculation .
If the major problem is with BFU 21-35-76 ST A SN 3H he should have explained it to us via RNA.
It is only No 4 of our best producing wells and the best ones are to the south well away from the horizontal and also taking effect from a different injector well.
So he could have increased pressure as shown by last months figures in other parts of the BFU without affecting the pressures at the horizontal.
Also the new proposed 2 mile pipeline is only from the horizontal to the gas collectors it does not effect the best producing wells.
My only hope for optimism is that we now have bigger fish to fry,
that other deals / negotiations are in play and that the BFU doesn't really matter in his list of importance,
otherwise i think he has let the LTH'S down badly on this occasion.
Perhaps it is now time for AM to revise his attitude to PR,
at a time when we should be flying we are languishing further under the influence of the traders,
and whilst i am still confident that we are in the right company at the right time ,
i cannot hide my disappointment on this occasion that we have not been kept up to speed in some way about our future progression.
Sorry folks just venting a little bit,
it's just with all the possible good news or any news AM could have let loose,or any news not of the negative variety
that he could have used,
knowing that we would know immediately he has shown the bretheren a little disrespect especially in the current unfortunate circumstances ( with the greatest of respect to our UKRAINIEN BROTHERS who are showing ultimate courage),
when every circumstance is in our favour.
So let us hope that positive news that cannot be far in the future will arrive soon,
i apologise to evreyone for the negativity,
but i feel it is warranted on this occasion.
GLA.

Tiburn ,
I was wondering whether those 9 drills are set in stone or could he ask to drill a little deeper and access the new discoveries via those ?.

You attack Tiburn ,
You bragg about making money,
Whilst i have no problem with you trading us to make money,
YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM HERE.
It has been traders like you on a much grander scale that have held us back.
The serious investors maybe waiting for production confirmation before moving ,
the liquidity of this share has allowed you to play.
But ,
How Dare You attack the man how has tryed in an unbiased and sometimes critical way to steer people in a positve direction.
YOU HAVE ONLY SNIPPED FROM THE SIDELINES FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT .
If you have research that will have a negative effect on the long term prospects of this company then lets hear it !!!!!
Other wise give it a rest ,
you are only demeaning yourself further.
GLA.

Well said Tiburn,
i feel sorry for those that have departed this morning,
the truth is that the unfortunate situation elsewhere will only make the case for COPL stronger in every sense.
even the market games are only half hearted this morning.
The markets will start to look for safer places to invest.
It may even be that a small bit of positive news from AM's arsenal of news maybe enough to focus minds in the coming weeks.
For sure we have been a plaything of the markets for a very long time,
but in the situation developing ,
even our potential and our prospects in the safest of jurisdictions will have value,
i am sure our time is coming,
THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE HERE,
in every possible way,
this is a good place to be.
It's only a matter of time.
GLA.
