Come on Nige, what's happened to your predictions?
Trying to distract attention away from yourself?

Eff me, must tell the mates in pub that Nige now reckons I'm "just a username being operated by some organisation being paid by a hedge fund or other financial institution".

Presumably this is to distract attention from his relentless "FID/Sanction 2019 - STRONG BUY" posts

I can't believe that anyone can waste so much of their life posting garbage on this BB as Nige - do you do anything else?
And some treat his posts as though he's a soothsayer, instead of the inane fool he must be.
I've got better things to do.

Yes Mike, I had thought of making some sort of joke out of that, but it would have been lost on most readers!

There's no doubt that fossil fuel will one day become ancient history, but not for a long time.
Without fossil fuels,civilisation would collapse.
Renewables don't provide enough energy yet and nuclear is proving very problematic and expensive, taking much longer to implement than was hoped.
Climate change is affected by all sorts of things and cutting back use of oil is only just one.
So fossil fuels continue to be essential for human civilisation and if the FI region doesn't supply it, someone else will.

Of course he's not, but he can't possibly bring himself to admit it here.

Nige, you have much more time to waste than the rest of us - we actually have lives to live, rather than swatting-up others' ancient posts.
As for changing one's opinion, a VERY dangerous tendency, is for people not prepared to change/modify their views as the World around them changes - something you clearly aren't prepared to do.

Look Nige, this has nothing to do with ramping/deramping.
Why do some posters insist that every post always has to be one or the other?

Clearly, there is a matter of opinion expressed (but that's not ramping/deramping), but essentially what I posted is what has happened and you can argue until you're blue in the face, but that's what's happened.

RKH BoD hasn't performed brilliantly and certainly hasn't adjusted their remuneration to match their performance and they've been awful at communicating.

There may be some F Islanders who don't want their region to be turned into a circus, but the majority want a bit of the potential windfall, before the opportunity passes them by.
I believe Keith Padgett was wrong when he warned that the oil would stay under the ocean if the oil companies tried to stitch-up the islanders. If PMO/RKH can't get their act together, then FIG will let someone else do it and we can then just sit , watch and wonder about what might have been.

As said before, I think PJ & SM kicked this off when oil was King and the PoO could only increase, with no end of demand in sight.
Once SL was discovered, nothing could possibly go wrong - in fact, everything one could dream of was "in the bag".
Getting funding wouldn't be a problem.

Well, now we know different and who'd have predicted things would be as they are now? That applies to PJ & SM, to you and every other reader of this post who's put money into RKH and to everyone else who saw the FI as the great new oil opportunity.

Forget about Greta Thunberg, as oil's going to be needed by humanity for some time yet. However, a possibly greater threat in my opinion, is that with all that oil and gas in the region, someone's going to pick up the FI oil and gas region for peanuts.
As the PoO falls, perhaps HMG delays its decision over the Export Credit funding, the Peronists get back in Argentina, investors (like you) give up, the predator moves in as everyone looks on in dismay.

Why do you think PMO have been planning to "monetise" Zama-1 for over a year?

For PMO, focusing on SL and the FI would be far less risky than operating in what is acknowledged to be a much more challenging Mexican environment.

If you're looking for a quick resolution to the endless wait, then I agree, but what the Brazil thing shows is that if PMO/RKH don't do it, then someone's going to have that FI oil and gas, eventually!

And if you weren't impressed by that news item, then try these:

I'm not saying that EC funding approval is an absolute given, but in the current climate (pun completely intended) and I was holding the quill pen to sign it off, I'd be mighty inclined to dip the nib in the ink and do it!

Crikey, they really pushed the boat out.

there's no chance of SL and the FI region getting sanctioned, when this sort of thing is going on next door in Brazil, plus all the problems in the ME?:

Yes, go away Carrot, unless you have something truthful and sensible to contribute.
Why do you persist in peddling untruths?

Auson,
I'm working on a project right now, where many of the management have seriously impressive credentials, but they're all bloody useless!
One can write a lot of impressive bulls-hit in a CV, but it's ability to do the job that matters.

Mandrill didn’t just pop over out of curiosity, it came quite deliberately to stir trouble and publicise how ignorant it is.

Much as I find events in the Middle East concerning, they're exactly the sort of events needed to remind those reviewing the export credit funding submission that we cannot depend on others for our energy supplies.

I'm hoping to be there.

Should I wear a top hat, red trousers and galoshes? One wouldn't want to be too conspicuous, would one!!
