Nor do you have to be a 'green', a 'nimby', or any of theother attempts at insults to post an honest opinion about UKOG's projects and RNS.
If that honest opinion appears negative to you then maybe you should research the company and its projects rather than just repeating and believing what the company say - with any prediction about what might happen even what the company say is only an opinion, and UKOG is extremely selective in what it does RNS,
Often what is most telling is what they don't say. Just about current projects.
No mention of any details about the Pinarova structure, OIP, expected production and no revised volumetrics for Basur despite 2 phases of seismic and 2 new maps - the latest of which they haven't shown.
An RNS today, nearly half way through Q1 - when UKOG has said the well would be drilled, and no mention of actual progress towards drilling the Pinarove well.
2 RNS about Loxley and no mention of the pre-planned farm out - and confusing information about flow rates and number of wells planned - both quite different from the published information provided to the inquiry based on the new mapping in 2021. They also haven't submitted their work to independant audit in a CPR since 2018 - this more importantlys also applies to HH where promises of CPR's following various periods of production haven't been kept.
Specific to HH UKOG has had a Kimmeridge report done, with contingent resources orders of magnitude less than the numbers bandied about previously, by RPS in 2019 but only mentioned as a footnote to the resources table. Is this why HH-1 was not dual completed despite suggestions it would be in early 2020?
and of course HH-1 has been producing from the Portland for nearly 3 years. In that time the only information about flow rates of oil and water is that released by the OGA, and then the NSTA. No mention that decline would be so aggressive, nor water production such a problem - and no comment as to why the planned conversion to HH-2z to an injector hasn't happened.
Having already committed all raised funds to Turkey - virtually stopping any work on the previously transformational or of national importance Weald projects, the Turkey project is now relegated to drilling a risky, but cheap, well on a previously unmentioned structure already tested with a flow of water with an oil cut.
But never mind now we have - Gas Storage! Hydrogen!
