adrian,
what have ex anything johnson, never anything farage, daily mail, natwest and coutts to do with ukog. is it a cult thing?
from the published information it was primarily a commercial decision to close farage's account. his balance had been below their threshold for some time but a mortgage was still outstanding. they closed his account after the mortgage was paid off early. seems he's a snob who wanted the kudos of a coutts accountwithout the necessary cash.
if they had really disliked having what they describe as a ******, xenophobic, grifter on their books they wouldn't have waited. in fact i'd have thought at least one of those characteristics would apply to many high worth individuals that bank with coutts.
what this board is about, ukog, not made up stories about other posters.
as for loxley many posters have quoted the valuation that effectively ukog wanted put on it by rps - the one not using their preferred forward price scenario. in any case the valuation/ resources were based on a significant change in production scenario (1 well instead of 5 because of an external report that ukog wanted used), a map with forced closure, a flakey interpretation of alfold and rule of thumb recoveries.
despite these 'issues' the npvs based on contingent resources were presented unrisked. however a potential farminee would certainly consider all these (and other) risks associated with what is an exploration well, as rps point out the gas column, reservoir parameters and thus flow rates are unproven and even if gas is found it could not be commercial.
seems the oil odour zone in pinarova was not worth bothering about until they had a failed swab test in one bit of hoya and drilled through the amplitude anomaly. not even a secondary target it's quite possible the testing already run was valid - the formation just didn't flow. the 2 month wait, so far, for a bigger perforating gun may only result in the the same outcome.
as for a conceptual deeper accumulation - where's the structure map showing a structural closure - surely that would be a better indication of a deeper accumulation than the geochem of samples from pinarova, the shot holes and e sadak that may show similarities (or not), what the source was but not where, or whether, it resided somewhere else previously.
