The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode with London Stock Exchange Group's Chris Mayo has just been released. Listen here.
Satellite Rishi hasn't gone back to the fracking ban imo. Whats been said is they're going back to the position of waiting on the "new science" which funnily enough they're working on with IGAS (according to IGAS's no's last month)
This is their whole position. No ban just waiting on the science now that Labour can no longer say no.
"We will not support fracking unless the science shows categorically that it can be done safely.”
In the meanwhile IGAS and No 10 Policymakers are busy getting the "science" together to prove it can be done safely..
we continue to work with the OGA [Oil & Gas Authority], BEIS [Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy] and No 10 Policy Unit to demonstrate that we can develop shale in this area in a safe manner.
“Our discussions have focused on the new science that would be brought forward on a sector wide and site specific basis that would allow the moratorium to be lifted.”
Reading between the lines its actually a fairly positive position to be in. Sneaky tories soon gonna stuff the antifrackers imo.
Agree largely sharebel though to be honest not sure there's actually been a reversal its more just politic talk.
What no.10 has actually confirmed is that they're going back to the position of waiting on the "new science" that they and IGAS are developing before bringing it to the public at which point parliament won't be able to stop it now they've had the vote last week.
Down to IGAS now to present this new science they announced in their results last month so we can move forward.
ie...
IGas said:
“Following the moratorium on fracking, we continue to work with the OGA [Oil & Gas Authority], BEIS [Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy] and No 10 Policy Unit to demonstrate that we can develop shale in this area in a safe manner.
“Our discussions have focused on the new science that would be brought forward on a sector wide and site specific basis that would allow the moratorium to be lifted.”
1. You're not in the know you're an investor who was unlucky enough to buy in the 90's and sell in the 30's so needing to continue to be negative for personal emotional support.
2. The link you gave was to the Mets climate prediction page using AGW models that fail them year after year as they are unable to properly allocate solar forcing (ie they don't believe in it its all Co2)
Just remember this mantra and you'll do fine "The met are never right."
3. No I do not read the Daily Mail mostly for fear of melting the last of my available brain cells.
Look for colder winters in the UK Dom not warmer.
Disappointing. One too many uturns from the tories.
Have emailed the co. asking them to sue under the ECT to get their past investment back suggest others do the same if only to give our latest PM some grief.

Thanks and just to clarify I'm not negative just cautious.
This para could well be describing water flowing from the reservoir imo. Needs a further update on what they mean by "understand our reservoir characteristics on the North Slope."
"It is encouraging that the reservoir response to the stimulation procedure has been very good, as we have experienced strong initial fluid flows measured in the thousands of barrels per day. Remember, these are conventional reservoirs that have superior reservoir qualities compared to shales, and given it is our first well completion applying stimulation techniques in these reservoirs it requires a little patience as we better understand our reservoir characteristics on the North Slope.
How many thousands of barrels of "fluid" so far not oil.
Patience needed to see what they have imo.
Well they did say it won't effect this years finances rather 2023 and 2024 so maybe not such a big thing for them as imagined as yet?
Needs a few of the oil clean up contracts they were hoping for last year to come through imho.
Maybe not a lot has changed.

Liz Truss Odds: The Front-Runners to Replace the Prime Minister
Bookmakers favour ex-chancellor Sunak to head to Number 10
Drill or Drop July..
Sunak joins Truss in backing fracking – with local support
BY RUTH HAYHURST ON JULY 27, 2022 • ( 26 COMMENTS )
The UK’s next prime minister will be pro-fracking but only if local people want it.
Once reality bites and its realized the amount of damage the antifracking industry is doing then commonsense should prevail imo.
Having your gas turned off on really cold evenings is going to be quite the shock even for the most ardent greenies.

Prepare for three-hour power cuts in January and February, National Grid chief warns
The National Grid says power may be shut off between 4pm and 7pm on 'really cold evenings' if Britain can't secure enough gas during extreme cold

The government is allegedly drawing up a plan that could see residents living close to proposed fracking sites offered payments of up to £1,000 to give their consent.
A few weeks ago, the government formally lifted a ban on fracking for shale gas in England in a bid to boost and diversify the UK’s energy supplies.
According to the proposed plan, if the majority of local residents agree with gas wells being drilled near their homes, then the payments would be made to all members of the local community, even to those who had opposed the development.

They don't have to be for fracking they just have to let the democratic process go through as happened last night.
Now its down to the fracking co's to get locals onboard for conditional planning permission which with their purported £1000 sweeteners should be quite doable imo.
Up 300 percent from its lows though.
Pleased with the vote tonight myself. Would be good to see IGAS move quickly on the planning front now.
Winter fuel bills will help the sheeple give conditional approval imo.
just a word to the wise.
I'm hearing strong rumours about there being rumours about rumours that this deepening has produced a gusher.
Just so you know you know.
Nice figures, is this still with the €35K/month fixed costs?
Agreed, they certainly seem to be right co. right product for the Indian market.
Nektar could possibly make a cash offer imo but they'd have to place. Would depend on the appetite of their backers for risk I guess.
They have severely cut costs this year with 70% of staff let go.
"Part of the strategy is to continue with the cash they have, which should run for about three years, without needing to raise external funds. Nektar expects to end the year with about $440 to $450 million in cash and investments and no debt on its balance sheet."

Agreed and if they make/announce substantial progress on the €4m by end of yr as expected along with confirmation of their predicted €100k/month going forward sp's going to feel very "safe" at this level imho.
