"But I am right in thinking that ukog have had kimmeridge oil from this rns last december? If there are billions of barrels why is it taking so long and why have angus done nothing? Given that the gas wont really give much to shareholders if any, better to look at oil?"
1. yes UKOG/HHDL have produced from the Kimmeridge (which is amazing) but rates seem to have been low (less than 200 bopd) and may suffer from high depletion (fractures) . They are currently concentrating on getting the Portland up & running
2. Billions of barrels is across the whole Weald - that's from Winchester to Kent. It's also IN PLACE - no-one knows what the recovery factor may be - but probably quite low. - maybe 1-3% The numbers are based on 1 well , HH-1, and are calculated by two reputable outfits - but at this stage they're really only an educated guess.
3. Gas or oil? You have to play the cards you are dealt. I think Lucan would like to get out of the Weald for good - it's a hellish place for swampies and delays and the rewards aren't very good so far. He had the chance to pickup Saltfleetby cheap and, with luck, it will make money
