Can only see a bit of it as its on subscription. Pardon type as the page keep freezing.

From the other article from Guy Walters from Daily Mail posted just below this:
"For the Russian President and his oligarchs, the ending of fracking in the UK and elsewhere will represent the CESSATION of a camptaign SECRETLY waged by the Russians to demonise fracking eyes of Western public opinion."

Story developing.

Sun, 13 Mar 2022.
Oh, I read recently, that houses in the UK dont come up to EPC rating C. It appears that it may become compulsory to get up to a certain EPC rating and from recall, it can cost £12,000 to come up to those sorts of rating. So, lots of news on the energy front. DL has tweeted about new types of batteries but I have not had time yesterday to read further.

"Guy Walters examines NATO & US claims that Russia paid environmental groups to lobby against fracking. But if fracking were widel adopted then the UK and conteinental Europe, it would severly dent the demand for gas from Russia."

You can read the rest of the long article which includes one from the former Secretary General of NATO at the time on this matter.

Lots of names mentioned of the groups.

Call up the title to read.

NORTHSTAR CHARTS
In the same thread, Stef Van de Velde commented: Belgium was 120, now 390."
One poster in the thread also commented and said that they should look for GAS PRODUCERS TO HEDGE.

HEAT PUMPS
Recently, I read that it would cost some or up to £18,000.
Whilst I was out, i decided to check in case this figure was too wide. In specie, it stated online 6-8kw horizontal ground source heat pump usually cost around £10k-£12,500. Larger 12Kw £15,500 -£17,500.
So, on top of the gas and electricity bills, if heat pumps have to be installed and not just new homes from recall, the cost is not little.

SOLAR
Online it stated "average payback period of solar PV is anywhere from 12-26 years.
From recall, this is also expensive to install depending on the size of the installation.

ELECTRIC CARS
At some stage, that is also going to be necessary by x date given petrol etc cars are going to be phased out. I gather that with electric meters, if there is a stress on the system, then the supplier can cut off the electricity by auto? Electric cars are also not cheap.

So, others can contribute if they know more or the latest.

leewayne
Thank you for your kind comment which is noted.

Mirasol
You said to me "That's not how things work with UKOG - the govt takes the view it is the COMPANY'S responsibility..." For clarity, I did mention that the practice was from mining in that reports are lodged in Australia and left it open relating to the oil industry in the UK.
I am not in the oil industry in the UK nor work in govt.

As you may be aware the UK govt has identified 4 area in the UK for possible shale gas etc, one of which is the WEALD , UK. Next week, one will hear more as to what decision will be made in the GOVT'S NEW ENERGY STRATEGY report. Rather had to believe in totality that the UK govt is not aware of the prospectivity of the weald, the history of drilling thus far and the results from the various exploration co's?

I have sighted an article "WEALD BASIN SUMMARY - OIL AND GAS."
"BGS C O M M I S S I O N E D by DEPT OF ENERGY & CLIMATE CHANGE studied Jurassic shales of Weald Basin. Could be shale oil 2.2-8.5 billion barrels of oil in the ground reflecting uncertainty until further drilling is done. Reasonable estimate 4.4 billion barrels of oil."

Also, sighted "PETROLEUM GEOLOGY OF THE WEALD-SHALE OI."-Wessex Coastal Geology.
https://wessexcoastalgeology.soton.acuk/Kimmeridge-clay-weald.htm

"..Shale oil is determined by BGS 2014 redrawn and modified towns and the KEY CENTRAL LOCALITY OF B A L C O M E. Map: "Fracking? THEMALLY MATURE KIMMER. CLAY [AND LIAS]."

KWARTENG - This is Money, 11 Mar 2022
"This is no longer about tackling climate change or reaching net-zero targets. There is now an urgent need for Britain to be ENERGY-INDEPENDENT because leaving our country continually explosed to a gas market that can be exposed , manipulated by the Kremlim would be a complete dereliction of duty." [It goes on and if anyone is interested they can read it from today's This is Money].

Put the title into the search engine to read and check. I was out and copied notes which may have some typo errors so always best to check.

BROADFORD BRIDGE
With the extension for 2 years applied for, I merely re-visited the data.

Next week, one will hear more from the govt as said. Thank you.
Sat 12 Mar 2022.
Over on the other forum, interesting to note article/s which also lends to this discussion.

Penguins,
It is now 1:07am and your post is 12:45am. LoL.
One thing for sure, you LIVE here.
I was out today so I did not check in to this forum.
Hence, why I posted later.
You say the UKOG BROADFORD BRIDGE IS OUT OF DATE INFO?
HOW CAN THIS BE? We are talking about the UKOG Broadford Bridge link ending 115.
It is obviously a extract from the DRILLING HISTORY AND TECHNICAL DETAILS of the drill and side track and I stated everyone can make up their own minds what is says verbatim.

What is there to be so afraid of a DRILLING OVERVIEW REPORT. It is FACTUAL, TECHNICAL AND IS FROM ANALYSIS OF THE ACTUAL DATA + ALL THE CORE RESULTS.

If one is a SHAREHOLDER OF UKOG, surely one would like to read and revisit Broadford Bridge given an extension for 2 years has just been applied for.

More importantly, this is a matter that concerns everyone in the UK given the coming bills to pay for gas and electricity. So, $36,000 question, how is the energy to be fixed?

We await answers from the new strategic energy report due out next week and the EU response as I also quoted.

No more answering as we will never end.

CONFIRM UKOG link on Broadford Bridge ending in 115
-I have just checked again. IT is the SAME as the UKOG Broadford Bridge link ending in 128 which Penguins is taking up with me.

128 is via going to the UKOG website and pressing Portfolio icon.

115 is also from the UKOG website BROADFORD BRIDGE - I have just been at 12:23am to check AGAIN. On the right, it shows share price 0.13p and it states updated XX time.
So, current.

Yes, UKOG Broadford Bridge link ending in 115 is more comprehensive and is just below the UKOG site. LOL, I got to read the entirety!!

The Broadford Bridge link ending in 128 is brief.

Well, one can read the link from my initial post today and come to one's own conclusion.

Penguins,
It is now 5 mins to MID-NIGHT.
So, I will keep my answer short and sweet.

[1] I have now quoted from Drill & Drop's article on Broadford Bridge with LINK.
As far as I see from the article, Ruth took the UKOG co statement which I quoted from.
You took it from the planning application. Suffice to say, this is FAIR - everyone can read your counter piece from the planning application and also Ruth's article of 9.3.22. At this time of the night, I have no time to check further so I have to take Ruth's file info. This is norm as they check archives. If it is wrong, PLEASE TAKE IT UP WITH RUTH HERSELF AT DRILL OR DROP.

I wwas referring to HORSE HILL n o t Broadford Bridge. You say you dont remember a poster called H and her comments? Maybe you were not here? Suffice to say, "no one" thought there was oil at Horse Hill and that is historical now ie skeptics as reported in the press then.
Of course, there was DL who believed there was oil and Angus. That was what the ho haa was about. Well, today, OIL IS COMING OUT FROM HORSE HILL.

I have not been posting for quite some time here. However, I am awaiting the govt's new energy strategy report next week. At the same time, the "EU COMMISSION HEAD SAYS BY MID-MAY WE WILL COME UP WITH A PROPOSAL TO GET OFF RUSSIAN OIL, GAS AND COAL BY 2025." - https://twitter.com/zerohedge 11.3.22. Very interesting to see how.

You took issue with the link from UKOG website. The last no is 128 but the one I got is 115, the rest the same. When I have the time, I will check if there is any difference.
My check was from UKOG BROADFORD BRIDGE which is the 115 link.

I think I will not be able to answer your posts given you refer to me. Why? People will want to post and they dont want to and fro's which is taking up the forum space and no one is getting an inch in. THE CURRENT TOPIC IS BROADFORD BRIDGE DUE TO THE 2 YEAR EXTENSION. I POSTED FROM UKOG PLC [IT IS FROM THEIR WEBSITE AS IT HAS THE LOGO WHICH IS THE SAME AS 128 LINK].

It would have ENDED and everyone can read what is of current interest given the extension.
I am NOT in contact with Ruth so anyone who wants to know can ask her directly.
I will check later as she quotes from UKOG'S CO STATEMENT.

I hope that is O.K with you, Penguins. Thank you.

"This time, the co is seeking another two years to carry out "DATA REVIEW AND APPRAISAL."
"After the most recent extension in 2020, UKOG said in a statement: This extension will enable us to incorporate KEY future well test info into our understanding of this NEW PLAY BEFORE any FURTHER appraisal of our BB-1 KIMMERIDGE DISCOVERY."

["Banner: Indpendent journalism on UK fracking, onshore oil and gas."
"Written by Ruth Hayhurst"

The other quote ocelot has quoted in his last post below from Ruth Hayhurst's same article as above.

LINK: https://drillordrop.com/2022/03/09/ukog-seeks-two-more-years-at-broadford-bridge-oil-site-for-data-review/ dated 9 Mar 2022.
Entitled: "UKOG seeks two more years at Broadford Bridge oil site for DATA REVIEW."
If link is faulty, then call up the title. My tabs is not working so when taking notes, there can be some typo errors, hence check.

-----------------So, anything else, ask Ruth Hayhurst if that is not correct about "review and appraisal" re: UKOG Broadford Bridge. Thank you.---------
Fri, 11 Mar 2022.

penguins,

For EXTRA CHECKS, I have just been to the UKOG PLC website at https://www.ukogplc.com
On the TOP ICONS, there is an ICON : "PORTFOLIO". If one clicks, it will DROP to HH and BROADFORD BRIDGE ETC. Everything about Broadford Bridge is there.

So, 2nd CONFIRMATION CHECK FROM CURRENT UKOG WEBSITE TODAY, FRI, 11 MAR 2022.

Penguins,
I have just CHECKED my very 1st post under this header at 19:01
and it is ENTITLED "BROADFORD BRIDGE https://ukogplc.com/page.php?pID=115 "
I have just CLICKED on my link and it works. It comes from the OFFICIAL CURRENT UKOG BROADFORD BRIDGE.

From all the UKOG plc, it is obvious that this is from reports. I cannot say 100% but as far as I know they are usually taken from technical reports on Broadford Bridge. Why? If there is any query, then the co can show the backup. This is norm in other industries eg mining.

As for Drill or Drop, it is stated they report independent fracking news or that is what I recall seeing on their banner at their website.

None of the newspapers DEDICATE their business pages to UKOG for onshore oil news.
So, like it or not, that is what one can find. I can ONLY QUOTE from public open sources.

I am not in govt etc or from the type of organisations that are extracting filing applications so cant provide those. So, I presume Ruthie has the resources to do so.

The quotes I gave are from UKOG themselves. In the past, we shareholders go to the {UKOG website and click the ICONS to their various projects. No doubt, BROADFORD BRIDGE is current. Why? If they report the WHLE OVERVIEW, THEY STAND BY WHAT THEY STATED.

So, you can see the LINKS in my post ---------LINKS ARE IN BLUE.

PAST
I recall long ago when there were many other posters on this forum. One said she/he worked as a senior executive in the oil industry but did not give designation eg GEO of renown or reservoir specialist for onshore UK oil etc. She/he said [dont want to mention names but the initial starts with H from recall] said that the SHALES ONSHORE UK were mostly THIN or THINLY SPREAD, hence there would be NO OIL FOUND AT HORSE HILL from recall. A professor said that Horse Hill would have NO OIL as it would NEED TO BE FRACKED.
One blogger went on UK TV and said there is NO OIL AT HORSE HILL. Got people on this forum all fired up eg the TANKERS WERE ALL WASTE, NOT OIL. The tanker wheels were down or up so its all a hoax? ie no oil. One of the regulars even took to FOLLOWING THE TANKER TO THE REFINERY. They said at MOST, oil in a thimble would be the max. TODAY, OIL HAS BEEN PRODUCING AT HORSE HILL , UKOG.

I was having a laugh at the old days.

P.S.
From practices in the mining industry, I assume, rightly or wrongly that if there is an extension application etc which includes "DATA REVIEW" of Broadford Bridge, then the DATA REVIEW REPORT has to be subsequently FILED with the authorities [dept].

Also, a "DATA REVIEW" has to be done by an expert who can sign the report as geo etc.
Usually, they call in an independent rather than the co's geo.

I am only going by what I have seen at GGP. The previous owner of the Havieron licence in Australia was a Geo of renown. Work was done and a REPORT was filed with the Australian Mining Dept [Govt]. One poster called up the report and it had all sorts of stamps on it ie of the various govt depts. The new potential buyer can call up the govt archives to see what has been filed.

I know this from mining so I assume that it works in a similar way relating to the energy sector?

I leave it to others to provide the filing archive details.

Penguins:
In answer to your post, I took ALL the excerpts from the CURRENT UKOG website on
Broadford Bridge wherein it details from start to finish ie reporting. This is the OVER-VIEW from the official UKOG website as to their situ at Broadford Bridge. So, not taken from here and there which may not be a complete picture.

DRILL OR DROP ARTICLE: Link: https://drillordrop.com [Just checked and the title is VERBATIM]
"UKOG SEEKS 2 MORE YEARS AT BROADFORD BRIDGE OIL SITE FOR DATA R E V I E W."-by Ruth H. dated 9 Mar 2022.

"Data review."--Isnt a "data review" of Broadford Bridge a review?
It is reviewing data.

The CONCLUSION about Broadford Bridge is also stated. BB 1z and 1y. I cant see my notes so please refer to my last post.

I can only go by the official reporting from UKOG themselves on Broadford Bridge given I cant add to or minus from.

news, Fri, 11 Mar 2022.

My word, UK onshore oil [brent] would be of interest now.

ocelot - thanks for posting up the para from Drill/Drop.

That's what got me to sit up ie about Broadford Bridge. Maybe, some of us can ask Sharetalk to get SS to do an interview as to what the expert says. Cant tell me SS is not calling in an American expert? No point if not getting an expert in.

I laugh when I think of the time of the Sunday paper DL was featured in. He said something like there's oil under your feet and its your decision Brits. Yeah, what a lot of mud DL got then. Well, come 2022 history shows us that Britain is in need of energy security.

I am just catching up on this forum.

Given a lot of posters were not here at the time of Goldman's £18, note that it was based on the SHALE GAS IF it were to be allowed ie fracking etc. Goldman stated THEN [3 July 2013] that "co's shale gas resource now model c 1 5 TRILLION CU FT RECOVERABLE based on the co's mean vol of c 1 0 2 Trillion cu ft."

"A/c we acknowledge shale is at an early stage in the UK, the re-rating potential for Igas in the event of SUCCESS could be material [almost 1700% on our estimate.]

Ref: "Coastal Energy, GKP, Heritage & IGas up to Buy."-Goldman Sachs, 3 June 2013
Call up this title to read and check.
------
The opposition to SHALE GAS FRACKING put an end to all that, history shows.
Hence, I was quoting history in case some old-timers are here from that time.

The Ukraine situation has forced another re-think of SHALE GAS FRACKING but from current reports, one notes there is still divided views among Ministers. NEXT WEEK, THE GOVT'S NEW ENERGY STRATEGY WILL TELL US WHAT THE DECISION/S ARE OR NOT?

£18 was a long time ago by Goldman. I recall that IGas sold some licences to Ineos.
The Proactive Investors article a few days ago mentioned iGas's current licences.

SIDETRACK BB1Z
Too much to copy.

SIDETRACK BB1-1Y
"Serious consideration is being given to possible short sidetrace BB1-1y.

NUTECH
"Nutech calculated Kimmeridge P50 OIP --------------7. 1 BILLION barrels of oil of which
---------1.7 BILLION barrels of oil lie within LIMESTONES gives comfort to this view."

---------BROADFORD BRIDGE IS A BIG PRIZE IF THEY CAN GET THEIR HEADS AROUND IT------
Hence, I wonder if SS is bringing in some experts in the recent application for BROADFORD BRIDGE REVIEW??
