Morning all

£72k Sold £555k Bought = SP down 5.7%

If ever there was any proof needed on manipulated and controlled pricing.

My understanding is ,under Takeover regulations, the minimum Sidara could bid, although I do not expect such a low number, is 49p per share as this was the recent price of Sidera WG share purchase. Takeover regs are available online.

Good luck

Islandgirl, I took the liberty of reading through your previous posts on WG and other companies. Excellent analysis, opinion and comments in my humble opinion.

In doing as much due diligence as possible, without access to the financial that Sidera and Deloitte are privy to, I am unable to see any substantive negatives in WG at this suppressed price. Let's hope that their are no unknown unknowns in the books.

That aside, this is looking very promising.

Best of financial luck Islandgirl and all.

I doubt very much Sidara will walk away after spending around 1 month going over the books. They know they can make an offer below the last bid. If they walk away, they will be locked out for another 6 months under regulations.

Other bidders could then come forward then steal this great opportunity while they look on, helpless, from the sidelines.

Hi Invstrat

You are right, I am having difficulties keeping up with your confused juvenile posts. "Have a look at Chid's summary " does not clarify or elaborate on the point of posting, if you actually had one in the first place.

Please in your OWN words explain what point you were attempting to make is especially in the immature reference to 'Komrade'?

Take your time, proof read your post to see if it actually makes sense and, if so, I assure you I will respond to your analysis, opinion and commentary.

In my summary, with respect I would like to rule out that you are not just impersonating an clown

RSVP.

Have a good evening.

"People on this thread need to get some factual background on Russia and Putin, before they accept any of the pompous, patronising opinionated, unsubstantiated, drivel that they will get bombarded with on this thread."

"Pompous" "Patronising " " Opinionated " are you serious ?

That is the pot calling the kettle black surely ?

Emotional, immature and unnecessary comes to my mind when I read your year 11 level essay on the Russian State and Putin but mostly hypocrisy comes to mind.

Getafgrip you are a hypocrite on so many levels. You attack others under the pretence that you are a knowledgeable, moral, principled BP shareholder and others are not.

Your attempt to distance yourself from other BP shareholders over Russia with your hollow righteous indignation is pitiful.

As a BP shareholder you should be aware that BP and europe’s oil majors bought $100bn from Russia since annexation of Crimea in 2014. Financing Putin's regime up and to the conflict. Where were your morals when you purchased BP shares ?

As a BP shareholder, you should recognise and acknowledge the complexity of global energy companies geopolitical dynamics and politics..

After the annexation of Crimea in 2014, many Western companies, including BP and others, continued to buy oil and gas from Russia and of course Rthe Rosneft shareholding.

European nations and companies continue to be deeply intertwined with Russian energy companies after the annexation of the Crimea and with war continuing on the Ukraine/ Russian border, and yet you are still a BP shareholder. No ethical or political principles at that stage ?

You should also research your investment and see the other dubious countries they are invested in.

Your morals, principles and opinions are questionable. Your essay was unmeasured, emotional and totally unnecessary as was the attack on others.

My interest in Russia is solely the Rosneft shareholding not political.

So get a fu**ing grip mate

Norway's Equinor has halted output from its Johan Sverdrup oilfield, western Europe's largest, due to an onshore power outage, the company said on Monday.

Oil prices rose on the news, adding to earlier gains stemming from escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Brent crude futures were up $1.88, or 2.65%, at $72.92 a barrel by 1547 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures were at $68.8 a barrel, up $1.78 cents, or 2.66%. [O/R]

An Equinor spokesperson said work was underway to re-establish production, but it was not immediately clear when it would resume.

The outage was caused by smoke developing in an onshore electricity converter station which sends power to phase 1 of the Johan Sverdrup development, the spokesperson added.

The situation was quickly clarified, but resulted in a temporary shutdown of production on the whole Johan Sverdrup field, he said.

The Sverdrup Phase 2 converter station, which supplies power to Sverdrup and other fields in the North Sea's Utsira High area, was operating as normal, the spokesperson added.

Equinor said last month that it expected the Sverdrup field to come off peak production levels around 755,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) from early next year.

Equinor is the operator and owns 42.63% of the Sverdrup licence while Aker BP holds 31.57%, Norwegian state-owned oil firm Petoro 17.36%, and TotalEnergies holds the remaining 8.44%.

With oil recovering well, I wonder what will be the next attempt at suppression ?

OPEC cut: BEARISH

OPEC add: BEARISH

MENA war: BEARISH

MENA truce: BEARISH

Trump win: BEARISH

Harris win: BEARISH

Inventory DrawBEARISH

Frac Ban: BEARISH

Ghawar on fire: BEARISH

No more OPEC crudités: Mind, lost

Poo as usual rebounding on news of the shutdown, Ukraine escalation and Chinese imported oil by sea hitting a record high in October. So much fir the Chinese economy in crisis. Add that to record low global inventories, counter seasonal demand. What wi happen

We see great potential in a partnership with Corteva - together, we are well positioned to deliver value through leveraging Corteva's technology and grower relationships and bp's refining and trading capabilities," said Emma Delaney, executive vice president, customers & products, bp.

Hi Happy

I hope all's well with you.

" Everything is possible " my Rosneft post's summarised in three words.

Mark

Hi Chid

An excellent thoughtful contribution. I could not agree more with your sentiment regarding the demonisation of BP and its peers.

My contribution was more a cautious possibility rather than a distinct probability on Rosneft as a negotiated settlement is expected next year by all parties.

Of course there would be hurdles, political and otherwise, to overcome but there are hundreds of billions of Russian assets seized in the west and vice versa. Specifically on Rosneft, the Qatari government investment Trust also owns 18% shareholding so, as I said, let's not get ahead of ourselves. The war will end, negotiations on sanctions, stranded assets, financial will be way down the agenda but all will ' eventually ' be resolved one way or another.

I understand your pessimism. I would not be surprised to see the Rosneft shareholding going the ways you suggest, however, no one knows the outcome and its not over until its over. That's all.

Great post Chid

Invstrat

What's your point ? Please elaborate.

Apologies again. Previous post not completed before auto posted. LSE platform is not for for purpose

Hi Meg, with the appropriate level of respect to you for your post, firstly, I do not understand your contribution to the debate on BP's Rosneft shareholding.

What is the point you are attempting to make ?.what is the value of your contribution to the debate ?

Your insignificant ontribution make no real sense. The Geo political situation is far more complex than you seem to believe. Politics are more complex and nuanced than black and white. The world and history is so much more complex than just Russia/ China bad, the 'democratic West good. China is our enemy, the liberal west are best for us.

Your confusing and irrelevant post

Hi meoryou

100% the site. The learned and acquired patience required to be a BP shareholders has come in useful with this wonky platform.

Out to walk off my Sunday lunch now.

Have a great evening.

Apologies again....

" I would expect that BP retains........

dialogue. i would not expect that bp retain a line of communication with rosneft and the russian government effectively on and the same.

igor sechin, the head of rosneft and a long-standing ally of putin, said in june 23 that bp is still a shareholder of rosneft and that bp's dividends have been transferred to special holding account in russia, like for other foreign companies that operated in the country.

bp's position is that they are still attempting to sell their stake. i do not believe that is the case. all that has happened is an ac******* change. a write down not a write off. they officially no longer recognises a share in rosneft's for net income, production, and reserves also no longer reports rosneft as a separate segment from its financial results apart from that nothing has changed.

while putin has imposed capital controls and restricted 'enemy states' companies, he has taken no action to nationalise rosneft which was the concern. it is interesting to understand the shareholder structure of rosneft that has russia's state holding company rosneftegaz owns 40.4% in rosneft, qatar's qh oil investments llc holds 18.46%, while bp still formally controls a 19.75% stake in the company and i believe a glenmore minority ( 1-2 %)

so without getting ahead of political shenanigans and negotiations that i expect to start early 2025, as bp shareholders, i believe we can allow ourselves some cautious optimism on rosneft.

watch this space.

have a great day all.
