Just looking back through a few posts and amongst many from our numerous well respected seasoned contributors, I found this one from Spectre130 from 2nd July. I’ve read this several times over since and it really does provoke some carefully consideration 😊
‘Caterham, may I add my thoughts and sympathy for what must have been one horrendous crash. Your deeply knowledgeable posts have contributed to educating this illiterate on the fascinating geology of the Gurceif Graben, and by extension, the North Sea. All the very best for a swift and full recovery.
And here's a thought. GRH first mentioned Leviathan a couple of years ago. MEM also referenced it a little later. What a fantastic name for a huge gas discovery.
But here's the thing.
Just a few weeks ago, in a Predator RNS, I read for the first time the word TITANOSAURUS.
A fraction of a milli second later I silently mouthed the word WOW.
And a slight curl of the lips - which for me passes as a wide smile - twisted my mouth.
If Paul and Lonny and Moyra believed MOU-NE needed a new name, Roget's Thesaurus contains thousands of possilities.
They have chosen TITANOSAURUS.
I allowed myself the slightest of smiles when I read the name, because to me, it said it all.
Would this trio of vastly experienced and highly respected people in their field have gone for such an evocative and powerful name if they had any doubts about what that prospect holds?
I think not.
It has been a long, long road. But I believe we are now in the calm before the storm.
To all those who have held the line, and to all those who have arrived more recently, good luck.
And to Lonny Moyra Paul and the rig crew, safe drilling.
Because when TITANOSAURUS roars it will be heard in the four corners of the O&G world.
