Hydraides, I meant it: I want to hear your arguments presented sensibly and not in your usual aggressive and objectionable way.

Let's hear them please.

Hydraides, you may well have some good points, which could be of value, but those you're trying to convince aren't going to take much/any notice if you make yourself so objectionable.

Don't you realise that insulting those you're trying to influence doesn't work.

How about trying again, but this time do it sensibly.

Absolutely Mirasol, but that's the same for any new region, so where's the big surprise?

Not even the remoteness of the FI. The FI haven't suddenly been moved overnight to where they are now, while we weren't looking.

I completely get all the issues/challenges/etc., which need to be costed, but as far as we know, they're all known and have been known for years.

So why declare them now as some great revelation that no one had thought of?

Just for the benefit of anyone who has Godders filtered, Godders says:
"we have liabilities in....................... decommissioning the temporary port in the Falklands"

Godders has clearly been sleeping at the back of the class, not paying attention.

FFS Godders, didn't you read the bloody RNS?

Go back to sleep and stop clogging the BB with your drivel, you buffoon

I seem to remember someone else suggesting much the same (may have been DEM), plus, perhaps RKH's other Italian licences. In that way, the Italians regain control of their now, much more valuable assets, RKH gets a nice bit of money (and avoids looming de-commissioning costs), just when it needs it and the Italians don't have the public indignity of 'losing' the ECT arbitration.

Doesn't sound all that crazy to me, but no doubt Hydraides (and his objectionable ilk) will come up with all the reasons why we have mental problems just for suggesting such an idea.

It would be preferable if everyone got on together - think how much better the World would be, with time and resources used to sort out the important things, but regarding Argentina, you only have to look at Ukraine to see where appeasing bullies gets you.

The Germans are now openly accepting that Merkel's policies with Russia contributed greatly to where we all are now.
Apparently Putin now has a lovely new nuclear missile to taunt us with.

So, back to the FI: Don't give a millimetre to Argentina - what the hell would they do with 'Las Malvinas', except steal their oil & gas. While doing so, they'd mock us for not having got on with it when we could have done, as we then suffer from dwindling North Sea resources, no more oil/gas under our control, still waiting for the new generation of nuclear power stations to be built and the wind not blowing enough to generate enough electricity to fill the void.

Hydraides, you may have some valid points to make, buy why do you have to be objectionable just to make your points?
Not everyone else is an idiot.

I would add to that list, that since then (when most people seemed completely overwhelmed by the climate change demands following COP26), the Russians invaded Ukraine and pretty well everyone has accepted that Europe must cut free from Russian hydrocarbons ASAP.
That, in itself acknowledges that hydrocarbons are NOT a thing of the past as well as the need to find alternative supplies, when BIG oil companies have been reducing their exploration activities, mainly in response to shareholders and well-intentioned nut-cases who have misled everyone about how quickly we can switch to renewables.

Also, Merkel, the author of much of the West's dependency on Russian hydrocarbons gave an absolute 'NEIN' to German nuclear energy, so they really are Effed.

So if you add all that to the list I gave earlier, there can be no doubt whatsoever that SL and the greater FI oil/gas reserves are GO, GO, GO and anyone on this BB who says otherwise is from another planet, an AIM stock trader, etc., so, as I said earlier, stay calm chaps and we WILL get some sort of award out of the ECT claim, even if not quite the £250 (or $250) that DEM mentioned in his post.

If you're reading this DEM, what's your opinion (as you always post good stuff)?

Totally agree.

It was only a few weeks ago that visitors to this BB were posting that FIG were expected to be awkward, including not extending the SL licence, insisting that the TDF must be decommissioned NOW, perhaps even demanding other cash from RKH before they went bust.
Also, that HBR were bound to be uncooperative in their rush to make a 'quick, clean break' from SL/RKH.
That Navitas couldn't be relied on to sign any agreement with RKH, etc., etc.

And now we have pretty much everything we could possibly have wanted, for the time being, with NONE of the above coming true.
The only thing is the need for additional funding for day-to-day running of the company, which we all knew anyway. Some had hoped that it might come in the form of the OM award, but we also knew very well that that would be unlikely to be paid immediately, so some sort of bridging finance was obvious, even to a blind fool.

So what's all the bleating about? Some here say it's Sam's fault all over again, but really, it's punters using all the old arguments to trade RKH as happens with AIM stocks.

SL is on its way, so those who believe, just keep calm.

ARG up 60%
BOR up 30%

And they're not just as much a logistical nightmare?

If SL is a 'logistical nightmare' then how much worse are ARG's (up 49%) and BOR's (up 14%) licenced areas?

If you can't post anything sensible, then don't post anything at all.

what happened to the 20 million Russian buttons Hydraides?

Hydraides is the one who said RKH would be getting 20 million from the Russians.
Trouble is, he didn't say 20 million of what - shirt buttons? Roubles? Nonsense?

Just popped in for for a look-see, not expecting much on Easter Sunday, to find some geezer wot calls himself 'hydraides' saying RKH can expect £20 million from none other than Vladimir Putin!!

What the hell's going on and what is hydraides thinking?

I'm going to sign-out and sign back in, hoping that things will have returned to sanity!!

Please don't start that one again, we must have exhausted it to death, several times over.

Thanks DEM and I agree.

Just recall for a moment that the price of oil briefly went technically negative and then seemed to be soaring to the stars.
In that environment having to agree the future price with a dissenting arbiter, who believes he could end up in the Tiber, wearing concrete boots, if he gets it wrong.

Not sure I'd want to be one of those supposedly 'wise experts'.

anyway, it's 'Do the mathS' - we're not the US's 51st State yet.

"I do, however, note that Godders told us his opinion that Sam would delay yet again at end of March and that was proved to be correct."

Even a dead slug could have 'predicted' that.

It is just about conceivable that there are some urgent negotiations going on - the Italians may have thought themselves to have been VERY clever in stringing things out, driving RKH into a corner, or worse, then along came Vladimir and put the cat amongst the pigeons.
Now Italy is extremely short of energy supplies, and RKH holds some Italian licences - what a palaver!
