Hey Terry who’s paying you to troll?

They are indeed doing a great job Romaron. Their arguments do not stand up to proper scientific scrutiny. But as Andy Warhol promised in the future everyone will be famous for. 15 minutes. Until you ask them to immediately replace their everyday widgets made from oil and oil derivatives. Yer but, yer but, but , but.

You're dreaming friend, AB has been a rabbit caught in the headlights for a very long time.

Strenuous inactivity.

Harvie is only in power because Sturgeon needed the green vote and saw him as a useful idiot, as she did his sidekick Slater. They have a very limited life in Scottish politics. His opinions are best ignored.

There is no probably about it. Labour will close down the North Sea as surely as Thatcher closed the pits. Ideology has no concept of business or strategic needs, purely class warfare. Control of the means of production thinking has not gone away, but a convenient cover is climate change. The one chance to emerge from this with a semblance of return on investment is for Sunak and Hunt to grow a pair and spell out to the country the hard facts of future energy security and swallow their pride by putting a floor on the EPL. Will they do it? It would take the kind of courage I doubt either have.

Follow the money. Starmer is in receipt of a huge donation from an anti oil and gas player, who no doubt will see an enriched future in Starmer's future renewable energy company. Get it out in the open, Starmer is as bad as the Tories for taken handouts and is in thrall to lobbyists and ideologists.

Good post Romaron, pretty much spells it out how much of a jam Enquest is in. The intransigence of opposing political parties combined with their ignorance of the real effects of the EPL and the wilful lying of both parties make a perfect storm for a struggling outfit. Reeves is an opportunist, like Starmer, but in opposition whatever you say doesn’t come back to bite you unfortunately. The Tories have lost any moral fibre they had, and I very doubt hard questions at the AGM will do anything to change the mindset of a prime minister who is only on the carousel for the short ride to the next general election when he.knows he will have to go back to mortgage and overdraft applications. Good luck at the AGM .

The sincere zealots at work. About time we had some vigilante response in a big way. I notice they are not in Mumbai, or Washington or Beijing, they are middle class attention seeking prat’s taking full advantage of a country too soft to punish them. In Starmer’s vocabulary a proper punishment.

The market is very seldom wrong.

Krakenoil I share your pain, but no one in their right mind would buy Enquest.

Strong operational performance, will satisfy the efficiency aficionados. Does absolutely nothing for shareholders. There is still a statement on Enquest’s website clearly stating that there are no plans for shareholder returns . That is a red flag to me. This company is Bseisu Ltd, it will survive or die according to how he wants his retirement plan delivered. We shareholders are straws in the wind.

Dumbly, my thoughts exactly for some time now. . The squabbling incompetents are oblivious to what is actually being felt in the country, playing out their roles as they see it knowing it’s short term . Revenge against the Labour Party for leaving the note in the Treasury, “ sorry there’s no money left”. School boy actors performing with no accountability whatsoever.

Why has this sp been anchored around this level for so long ? It’s no accident I’m sure, any comments?

Enquest to be renamed as Mary Celeste Mk 2.

ZippyFrood, maybe the govt attitude is explained by the fact that they really don't know what they are doing on this issue.

Tory leadership challenge ? Who in their right mind would want to lead that bunch?

It is looking increasingly likely that the only safe haven for Enquest shareholders is for the company to be sold to a solid going concern who have truly global interests and not be screwed by the amateurish politics of the clowns in the commons, (*Both sides of the aisle )

Now is the time for the CEO to show leadership, step up to the plate and garner more shares. Will he ?

KO, take it easy mate, there are media hitters such Telegraph and Times fronting up to the government on oil and gas. It will come out in the wash soon, Sunak’s preference to reward his banker associates, and his slavish obsession with taxing oil companies, all oil companies, irrespective of how much or little they succeed is shortly going to bite his ass. Starmer’s acceptance of 1.5 £M from an anti oil chancer , will see him accused of planning to close the North Sea with the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. The Sue Grey affair won’t do him any favours and flip flopping from one principle to another is being noticed by the public .
I don’t buy the idea that this anti oil drive is supported by “ zealous activists”. They are civil terrorists and again the public is turning on their antics. You are right on the notion that business profit being seen as disgusting, Starmer, Rayner and Reeves seem to be as stupid as the Tories ( who are the party of business ) in spouting judgement without analysis or future thoughts simply because on the one hand Labour see it as an open goal for election, and on the other, Sunak is a mediocre banker who got lucky and will bend to any pressures to make him look good.
Sunak is the biggest thorn in the side of oil and gas. A spineless, photo op. grinning his head off as the country sinks into oblivion. Profit is a dirty word in Britain but the wheel will turn and eventually return. In time. Do we have the tenacity to wait this out with Enquest.

Sounds a bit like pump and dump patter to me.
