A reminder that the previous home page photo was of the beginning of seismic at Basur-Resan and had been in place for more than a year.

Agreed, Mullins.

Turkey drill &/or Loxley farm-out are the 2 most obvious candidates.

Sounds as if, in terms of timing, they've built in a margin.

The price of Brent crude rose on the news of the output cut from Russia, the world's second-largest oil exporter after Saudi Arabia, increasing by more than 2.5% on the day to $86.6 per barrel.

"As of today, we are fully selling the entire volume of oil produced, however, as stated earlier, we will not sell oil to those who directly or indirectly adhere to the principles of the 'price cap'," Novak said in a statement ...
