Good evening Chilts Have checked all the usual suspects and agree, Grena Knutsen is #1 candidate at the mo... Unless something out of left-field... Under 80nm from current place to AK, so can do easily in 10 hours... Hopefully leaves tomorrow late for 18th hook-up (11th day)... but if biggie might leave it a day extra... Best wishes MO

LOL Therapist.... MO understood you completely, just wanted you to explain the intricacies to Jan :-) Gunna be quite a few tankers in Scapa Flow over next few days, hope get paired with correct one... https://www.orkneyharbours.com/port-authority/info/shipping Anyway... Shuttle tanker first... LOL all MO

Think pretty damn bullish for Poo... think forecast was 0.7m draw here... Draws on both Diesel and Petrol https://uk.investing.com/economic-calendar Good luck all MO

Can see video of FPSO offload to Amundsen Spirit... Has music.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxfOd3l1WFY MO

Defo won't be Nordrose doing offload... Also looks like has 500k already on board.. waiting for someone to buy probably... Nordrose is not a shuttle tanker, does not have the hose connector on the bow (front) of the tanker to connect to FPSO's stern (rear) hose... look at Amundsen Spirit (shuttle tanker) to see difference. Looks like the shorts have it today, PMO being sold off hard... Bit cruel based on reasonable news... C'est la vie Good luck MO

All good points epiphany121 I remember at the time it was announced, Jan 2017, AB was erring on exercising the Magnus/SVT remaining option as late as possible, due to CAPEX and probably waiting to see how the field evaluates, pretty sure they've got every diagnostic tool working along with 4D and deep resistivity tools... I do see what you mean about it might be worth exercising the 75% early if the Poo is right... Will happily leave the call to ENQ, maybe if Kraken 20% gets sorted, then can get Magnus sorted... Good luck MO

Good day Chilts and fellow ENQers Looks like first Magnus drill is now complete and operating, completed 11th May Can see if search "Wellbore registration number" = 211/12a-M62Z Well Database: https://itportal.ogauthority.co.uk/edufox5live/fox/edu/WONS_WELLBORE_SEARCH_PUBLIC Think AK's #16, if per current, should be 18/19th May... Who will it be ???? FS Cygnus has spent a few days and nights at Kraken's nose, doing her lippy etc... So hopefully soon Have good-un MO

The Cat's got it's cream :-) Looks like PMO will defo be in FTSE 250 following end of May review... Enter mid-June, I think Well done... MO

Great news from PMO in today's ops update... Catcher now producing > 60k + bopd !!! (12k+ net to Cairn) Extract... "Gross oil production from Catcher reached levels in excess of 60 kbopd in the last few days with the export of excess associated gas into the SEGAL gas pipeline system expected to start shortly. The Burgman production wells came on-stream in May and hydrocarbons are now being produced from all three Catcher Area fields (Catcher, Varadero, Burgman). Initial dynamic data suggests good pressure support and connectivity within the reservoirs. The delivery capacity of the available wells is excellent with aggregate production capacity significantly in excess of the FPSO's plant design. To date, five cargoes have been successfully offloaded and sold, on average, at a premium to Brent to four different buyers. The results of the ongoing drilling programme have continued to exceed pre-drill estimates with the latest Catcher development well encountering significantly more oil bearing sands than originally prognosed with better than expected reservoir quality. The Catcher Area drilling programme is on track to complete during Q3 2018." Good luck MO

Hi Jay111s I don't have the exact timings (as AIS data is far from realtime at Catcher field) but Navion Oslo completed fourth offload 25 April, so around 30k average, assuming tanker offload #5 left the field yesterday... Hopefully well database will reflect all wells online soon, can see OGA data for Catcher fields by searching for Licence P1430 https://itportal.ogauthority.co.uk/edufox5live/fox/edu/WONS_WELLBORE_SEARCH_PUBLIC From observations, data is normally never more than a few days old, but will depend on operator input. Good luck all MO

Hey Alfa Stena Natalita back in range and has had a "mystery" 500k cargo loaded and off to Rotterdam.... MO has 99.9% confidence has offloaded Catcher, think need another tanker + 10 days for full performance to be confirmed... Is only guess... Good luck MO

Hey CC MO's got no hand(s) to show, when I swim they call me Bob...... actually how am I typing... Was a serious post... about learning from mistakes Getting the pros in for the water shut-off on 142, maybe 146, is sensible, CASP can learn from expandable plugs and bypass technology. I watched a video the other day, crew broke down 50m of production tubing in 3 minutes, so hopefully not too long for 4500m of A5... Is no probs... Just like CASP board, MO is waiting for Divi Certainly not trying to fool anyone, think CASP is good price for potential and if can get two/three deeps flowing is worth magnitudes of current SP... MO

Hopefully by now CASP know what is required for deep success... - Correct drilling equipment, suitable for sub-salt drilling...... Finally got there last year... - Correct drilling mud mixture for deeps.... A5 sidetrack... Check... finally got there !!! - Correct Completion... Learnt from A6, need a bigger boooom, Casing is pretty thick at that depth and very high pressure, proved with A5 for open hole completion. - Correct Perforated liner for deeps... A5, failed, need to ensure gravel pack has similar sized grains as producing reservoir for optimum pressure equalisation and reduction of risk of damage to liner... Hopefully fixed for next go, If production tubing is extracted, also can close off sections of reservoir if problematic with carbonate or sand production... Looks like CASP put off coiled-tubing for life... Is a shame, maybe provider unsuitable for deeps... Maybe better for shallow works... Did suggest should have gone with Baker Hughes for deep tubing works... Good luck CASPers MO

LOL Squif... Was not an insult... If MO not care about Squif, MO not mention... If MO "on the street" will probably wear them or if nice socks, sell them... If kind, can throw in some coats and blankets... for when MO on the streets of Aberdeen begging AB for a quid... :-) MO

Just to be clear.... If ENQ > 65k.... MO not eating any Squif's socks either... only < 60k (is 10k above ENQ minimum) MO thinks if no Kraken farm down should be > 70k easily.... Hope Squif washes socks and feet, and don't have any dodgy verruca or athletes' foot... MO feeling unwelll ;-} Have good-un MO

A nice fresh and almost state of realisation... by epiphany121 Think 50k is being very, very conservative... If not 60-65k, MO will eat Squif's socks... starting to feel queasy.. MO

MO's opinion... Is only based on observation... Tanker Stena Natalita looked to be heading for Catcher 24-36 hours ago... https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:375935 In which case should soon appear on AIS radar.... Disappeared approx 40 hours ago... So if have load on board, AIS details might help, also other FPSOs around , so cannot be certain was Catcher, is MO guess... If looking at OGA well data base, Catcher is still only producing at 50% (Burgman still showing as shut-in, also last Catcher wells), OGA is not realtime but is quite up to date... MO has stake, MO guessing Catcher not far away from 60k, MO won't believe TD's estimates anymore... MO

From Transocean report... UKNS Dana Petroleum Apr-18 Jun-18 Not disclosed 335,000 UKNS EnQuest Jun-18 Jan-19 Not disclosed Not disclosed Link: http://www.deepwater.com/Documents/April%202018%20Fleet%20Status%20Report.pdf Not sure exactly when in June... MO

Sad to hear Dol03, MO lost dad nearly seven years ago, still dream about him... Best wishes Also, Good luck to Jan in breaking his habit... MO been and still chuffing since teen, maybe stop some day !!! Remember, 2018 is transformational for ENQ... MO looking forward to H2... Magnus drilling finished, also PM8/Seligi first drills (hopefully) to fruition. Looks like Transocean Leader is released by Dana at end of Month for 9 months of ENQ work, including DC4 :-) Hopefully Alma, finally fixed... Might make KUFPEC happy !!! Good luck ENQers... MO (powered by Rose')

Thunder2040 Fair enough about Zama, think most explorers are a bit jealous... But ENQ's Kraken crude (lower API gravity) has been the flavour for the last few months... Is all about blending with light shale... Can confirm prices... https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_dfp3_k_m.htm Wishing PMO well, but also protecting pioneering tech with ENQ... MO
