...until spring 2017 when they ditched it without completing the trials.
Their position since then has been the same as Cepsa's:

"Don't ring us, we'll ring you"

Thank you for your comprehensive post. The elephant, however, has quite obviously not left the room.
If:
2) msar's sulphur content comes from the quality of feedstock used not the fuel itself. Low sulphur msar could be created if low sulphur feedstock is used.

Why was low sulphur feedstock not used in the Maersk sea trials in the first place or offered to them since May 2017 when they rejected MSAR for exactly that reason?

Could the answer be that there isn't any?

For the uneducated:

Oil sands or tar sands (also called oil-impregnated sandstones and bituminous sandstones) are, as the names imply, sandstones that are saturated or filled with black, heavy hydrocarbons or bitumen

So the conditions currently being experienced in that area could quite easily cause temporary safety measures to be employed.
Like moving personnel off site

For people invested here it is generally best practice to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
Hopefully the QFI samples are already off site but, when asked yesterday, Mike said he didn't know if they were being air freighted or not which implies they don't even know if they have been dispatched yet.

Should be Okay, I just prefer to research this kind of stuff myself rather than sit on my hands and wait for an RNS.

That's fine, easy mistake to make.
Asphalt Ridge is apparently in Uinta Basin near Vernal, Utah.
So I'll try and phone some municiple authority in Vernal once they're awake and ask them what the situation is.

I would certainly hope so.
Do you know the exact location of the Greenfield site?
I'm a newbie here and can't find it on either website.

Looks fairly serious out there ATM.
40% of homes at risk of being burned down
I have Emailed both QFI and TomCo and asked them to respond as to whether operations are being effected.
Will paste a reply if I get one.

"Question, any ideas what QFI could expect in revenue from UTAH once up and running..?"

Not Possible

Nobody's released any figures yet. As I recall from TomCo transportation costs to Nevada State refinery are $13/barrel for them.
I suppose it will be somewhat more to the coast.

But DYOR and have a lovely day

I respect your posts more than others.

What was your understanding about yesterday's presentation specifically regarding Utah producing MSAR solely for maritime sector?
I am not able to review it ATM as I'm out and about.
Also if Utah produces MSAR IMO compliant, will QFI be able to trial it again with Maersk?

Maersk Notification



Quadrise Fuels International plc (AIM:QFI), the emerging supplier of MSAR® emulsion technology and fuel, enabling a low-cost alternative to heavy fuel oil (one of the world's largest fuels markets, comprising over 450 million tonnes per annum) in the global shipping, refining and power generation markets, announces that the Company and supply partner CEPSA have been formally notified by Maersk Line A/S ("Maersk") of its intention to let the Operational Trial Agreement between the parties expire once the MSAR® fuel currently on-board the test vessel has been consumed (the "Notification").



Further to the Company's announcement of 7 April 2017, Maersk has now formally notified the Company of its intention, in achieving compliance with the International Maritime Organisation's ("IMO") 2020 sulphur limit environmental legislation, to use only compliant fuel (less than 0.5% sulphur) from 2020

"it's naturally IMO low sulfur compliant."
Not according to Maersk it's not, which was precisely the reason they gave for rejecting it.

Jason stated, in yesterday's Investors presentation, that QFI were looking to produce MSAR from the Greenfield site specifically formulated for the maritime sector.

Does that mean we will have to wait for the MSC LONOs to be completed before it can be marketed?

Also, does anybody have any sensible suggestions as to from where it will be loaded onto shipping?

Possibly Portland?

Looks like he's notched up another one.

Eric Zurrin, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"We're delighted to have reported another set of exceptionally strong results from Phase 1 of our drilling programme at West Kenya.

Throughout the course of this programme we have delivered some of the best drilling results we've ever seen at Shanta, and we look forward to progressing Phase 2 across our portfolio of licenses as we look to uncover West Kenya's true potential.

Exploration is integral to our sustainable growth story and we look forward to updating our stakeholders on further progress at New Luika and West Kenya in the near-term. Our diversified portfolio has the potential to transform Shanta into a mid-tier gold producer in Africa to support long-term returns for shareholders."

Thank you for your reply; prompt, pithy and erudite as ever.

Just a couple of queries:

Firstly, Google have never heard of a marine engine manufacturer "eejit". Is it two stroke or four?
Secondly, who asked you?

Thanks for that link cation

Do you know if the sea trials led to LONO being issued and, if so, what type of engine it was issued for as the article only specifies the vessel?

Thank you both for those informative posts.
Makes sense to hold onto these lMO.
Certainly doesn't appear to be swayed by the POG which is encouraging.

If you hadn't noticed, or hit your own head :

"A sample of produced oil is also being prepared to be shipped to Quadrise Fuels International plc in the UK, for the purpose of assessing the suitability of the heavy sweet oil produced by the POSP for their emulsion process. It is expected that this sample will leave the US before the end of June 2021, with testing taking place over the coming months."

So the lies, as always, have come from QFI, to suit theirs, as well as your bosses, purpose.

The money here lies in the sentiment, not in the fact

Get it now?

From March:
"It is expected that the enhanced POSP will restart after Easter, and that oil samples extracted from ore of the Potential Site will then be taken, assayed, and then shipped in April to the UK, to enable the Company to complete the necessary lab and pilot testing at the Quadrise Research Facility ("QRF") as planned. As previously noted, we anticipate being able to complete the MSAR® tests at QRF within three weeks of samples being received."

Absolute rubbish.

Pushed the SP to 6.40 for their hedge fund mates to turn a coin.

Love AIM at at your peril

TIN

Tin is the forgotten foot soldier of the energy transition, which will be the largest long-term demand driver for the soldering metal, Kettle said.

Nearly 50% of demand for tin, estimated at around 340,000 tonnes this year, is for electronic components, many of them vital for the low carbon economy.

Without tin, electrons don't flow and electric vehicle batteries don't charge.

Jeremy Pearce, analyst at the International Tin Association, estimates electric vehicles, renewables and energy storage use around 45,000 tonnes of tin a year.

"This could increase to up to 70,000 tonnes per annum in 2025 and perhaps 100,000 tonnes per annum in 2030."

How do you know that?
And why would they be selling before drilling results?
