Works fine CODE - no changes that I can see either

I'm guessing not far from the A4123

You sure that shouldn't be Alan Turing? Lol

Watch the match then lunch eh Vinny, so what time zone are you posting from?

Hi FF, your first paragraph is exactly the point I was making and actually I thought ceramic proppants were relatively new as sand has been used for years.

Fair point 're your second paragraph, especially with regards to clay

I've asked before, but no one came up with an answer, have FRR indicated in past history what proppant/delivery method they've used on previous drills?

Vinny, you are entitled to your option but since the 18th June when you created your account, you are coming across as the 'emptiest vessel' as Plato said

Thanks FF, as ive said before, actually think it's more to do with the ceramic proppant keeping larger pathways open for longer. Personally, I think that's the whole key to whether this Taribani campaign is a sucesss

Think the gel is more about the delivery method and most would be flowed back to surface, though as always happy to be corrected.

I agree it's about oil, otherwise the idea of comingled flow wouldn't make sense to me, but was highlighting the high pressure environment, to see if any of our more technical members could comment.
The suggestion that this is for somebody else, makes sense, but am trying to work out what it would prove?

Sorry, mud weight conversion link
http://www.sigmaquadrant.com/mud-weight/

Zeron, As a follow up to yours & kingym posts about mud weights, to convert specific gravity (SG) to ppg(pounds per gallon), you multiply by a factor of 8.33.

So -
'As previously announced, the Ud-2 well had been drilled by a previous operator with significant gas shows recorded while drilling in the Gareji and Maykop reservoirs between 2450m and 5289m, with drilling mud weights of 17.5 ppg and 17.9 ppg respectively. Based on the Netherland, Sewell & Associates resource estimate, the Gareji and the Maykop reservoirs of the Mtsare-Khevi Gas Complex are estimated to contain 8.3 TCF of Gas in Place (OGIP), with 5.8 TCF considered to be recoverable'

And 're zone19 on T39
'The Company confirms that it has observed oil stained cuttings and multiple significant oil and associated gas shows during drilling of the recently drilled interval with 2.16 SG drilling mud weight, indicating a highly charged hydrocarbon formation. '

So they needed (2.16x8.33=17.99 ppg) drilling mud as heavy as was used previously on UD2.

Prod / R8, I think part of the mid/long term answer is if FRr can show that Taribani can be priced across more zones - 9, 14, 15 and hopefully 13 and 19, then a new CPR for the whole field can be produced based on vertical frac n stac wells.

Happy to be corrected, but off the top of my head isn't the N&SA CPR based on horizontals?

Just thought the differences hadn't been discussed

What does anyone else think about the differences 're the deepening of T39.

The other wells and zones, FRR have stated the porosity, but not this time, which either suggests an inconsistency or it's deliberate because this pay is different
Together with using even heavier drilling mud, which would suggest a more highly pressurised environment.

Is the 29.5m of pay oil or gas or condensate?

'The Company made a decision to continue well deepening operations with the intention that Zone 19 of the Eldari B reservoir to be perforated, tested and in order to further enhance the well deliverability, produced together with Zones 9, 14 and 15 of the Eldari A reservoir, once flowing pressure of Eldari A and B reservoir targets are equalized' '

Are you in Mexico at the mo Zib?

Only big hitters I can find - it's like the FRR style research skills test. If you try hard enough, you can find info to back up almost anything lol

Kaiser, so is UKOGs closing price a more accurate reflection of its business than the closing price yesterday?

What's changed in between? Interim reports with no new fundamental information that wasnt already in the public domain.

The only thing that's changed is sentiment imo - which can and will (now when is the interesting question!) happen to FRR in the future imo

Vinny, your last line ' Results will be the downfall of FRR or the MAKING SIMPLE AS THAT!!' applies to every business, listed or not

Re-fracturing - from Schlumberger oil glossary http://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/Terms/r/refracturing.aspx

'An operation to restimulate a well after an initial period of production. Refracturing operations attempt to bypass near-wellbore damage, reestablish good connectivity with the reservoir, and tap portions of the reservoir with higher pore pressure. Refracturing operations are also performed after a period of production that can alter the stresses in a reservoir due to depletion; the restimulation can allow the new fracture to reorient along a different azimuth. A successful refracturing operation restores well productivity to near original or even higher rates of production and extends the productive life of a well.'

That's actually quite funny commy

Silting up is not something which can be corrected retrospectively without performing a refrac - which is probably one of (though not all) the reasons why they have only perforated smallish sections on T45/Dino2/T39, leaving the opportunity to go back later ( whether it be 6 months or 6 years) to frac other sections of the pay to reestablish flow rates if needed imo

As I'm sure you already know - the new drilling campaign is using ceramic proppant which has been proven in the US to increase and maintain the permeability of the reservoir post fraccing.

It's one of the reasons that drilling deeper on T39 down into zone19 is so interesting. That layer has been shown to flow in the past, the addition of the new proppant increases the chance of a longer term, maintainable flow rate.

Or do you just want to ask random questions?

Fantastic resource size upgrade, but don't understand why it's taken this long to only produce an inferred resource?

Surely they've had time to drill enough holes to at least move to indicated?

Perroverde too true.

The direction of travel may have been bumpy over the last twelve months, but imo, the direction is very promising

I've never said whether I agreed with the timing/amount of the placing and entirely understand why some people can feel agreived and might want to express it, but cannot understand why, if someone actually holds an investment, posts 34 times in a day , the vast majority with a negative bias if they want the value if their investment to increase, especially on AIM, where sadly sentiment rather than fundamentals too often hold sway.
I might be nieve, but am not duplicitous

You still haven't answered the question about what you hope to achieve by the repetitive tone of your posts?
