Well...
Hasn't the human race come far with their wizardry!

Yes but Azura has got only caretakers onboard alongside in Newcastle due to significant maintenance requirements if you read the news

Not a hundred percent sure but maybe they don't know until the end. When I was doing well stimulation, we were pumping chemicals in at 10,000psi (690 atmospheres or bar) to overcome well pressure. These were shallow wells in Saudi.. Your average scuba cylinder is 200 bar... They might be commited with the drill head until it's retrieved.. Maybe no time tor even abilityo be retrieving it and chucking sensors down? That's a shed lot of pressure.. But I'm not sure, I haven't been involved in drilling..
You get 1 bar (ATM) for every 10m of water and God knows how much from the bedrock and the pressure of the well on top of that..
I would imagine as this is quite a bit deeper the pressures would exceed what I experienced.

I wouldn't imagine anyone other than BPC would be releasing results of the drill early. Doubt there'll be any leaks unless someone wants to risk losing their jobs due to companies code of ethics.. Why would they risk their career...

Don't think Curry Club will be up and running for a while so I'll take my 50% gains in Spoons and put it towards some more black gold ;)

I forget hahaha!
Where I work there are no weekends!!
I'll have a day off in 3 months time..

Selling my shares in spoons tomorrow and putting more in BPC. >:o)
Getting good vibes

I cut my losses with Shell back in March. Had all my savings in one place, have hedged massively now, I made a large loss but have been lucky enough to claw most of it back in other sectors.I still hold oil shares in Tullow which is a very attractive price and taken a punt for BPC and their Perseverance exploration well Stena IceMaxx is on station and is due to complete in the next couple of weeks. Bit of a gamble but I have £5k invested and scope for a very large return if it's a productive well. Estimates up to 2 billion barrels, can't shy from that.Thinking of another £5k on Monday actually :)

Investor112, I second that on Tullow Oil - very attractive buy at that price!

Aurora, Arcadi and Azura next imo

I used to wear breathing apparatus taking tank ullages in Venezuela from the H2S, so yes there is truth to that. You could quite easily die from high H2S cargo

I didn't mean to say you can't, it's just I would imagine not ideal as you would be in DP for years, just all FPSOs I know of are turret mounted.
As you know you can lose DP and it uses a lot of fuel despite the redundancies, would be a fairly boring existence for the DP bridge officers..

I worked deep sea on oil tankers for Shell and then got my DP ticket on well stimulation ships in Saudi. Then the arse fell out of the off shore market - now on passenger ships with a bit inbetween

I have £5k invested here, not too much but still would rather not lose it ;)
What's your marine background watitsworth?

Somewhat

If you look through my posts, I wasn't aware how deep permanent marine moorings went. I had found an example that went 2900m shortly after that and posted it and retracted my comment.

Water depth

Keep the faith, the stock market was built to make money off the impatient ;)
Don't be one of the impatient! Buy more hahaha

...posts before end of day ;)

Saga is doing better as it hasn't got the massive dilution of shares and the immense high interest debt load that carnival has.
Cruise ships is also not their primary business, it's insurance - which is doing very well as no one is making claims as they are stuck at home!
Saga all the way for me ATM.
