Tankers and the EWT16 Aug 2018 10:23
For those fretting about the frequency of tankers and the implication this has for the amount of oil being produced from the Portland layer I offer these extracts from the Portland Extended Flow Test RNS in July
'Although we are in the very early stages of our 150-day test campaign at Horse Hill, the signs to date are extremely positive for the Portland oil pool. The unexpected bonus of natural oil flow to the surface, without the use of a pump, gives us cause for further optimism regarding the Portland's overall commercial potential.' 'The long-term reservoir performance data is also expected to provide the necessary data to enable, for the first time, Petroleum Resources Management System compliant Kimmeridge and Portland reserve figures to be estimated at Horse Hill.'
This to my mind is what the EWT is all about and 3 or four tankers a day, although very nice and earning a several 10's of thousands of dollars, in the scheme of things, will not have much of an effect on the SP. What will drive the SP up very rapidly will be a declaration of commerciality backed up by industry recognised reserve figures?
Will this come to pass? Well, I do not have the detailed knowledge or inside information to make that prediction. All I can do, just as anyone else can do, is look at the current EWT on the Portland and note that every time a change has been made the amount of oil produced has increased. If this trend were to continue through the EWT for the Kimmeridge layers then IMVHO the sky is the limit but my best guess is that the big boys will be trying to muscle in long before we get to the end of the Kimmeridge.
This is not intended to be a ramp just my opinion based on what we know so far. If you think I am wrong please feel free to contradict me but please qualify your opinion in light of the information I have given above.
