You are becoming a poet yourself countdemonet

it's not fun when they play semantics
as they say everyone is frantic
when they see a semantic

But at least it is a short one.

Predictions or promises, call them what you will.
When will we have permission to start our Saffron drill.
I really think the time has come for just a little post.
Putting all our minds at rest and finally lay the ghost,
Of if and when and maybe and is it really "soon".
So we can turn this cheerless dirge into an oily tune.

Hi countdemonet, that is why I am not holding my breath

"soon" could prove to be very similar to "a few days" and "drilling next week"

I'm not holding my breath then

One would have thought, as they have told a caller this week it would be beholden on them to make it more public through Twitter.

Seems appropriate to us

Diwali, Deepawali or Dipavali is the Hindu festival of lights, which is celebrated every autumn in the northern hemisphere. One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali or Deepavali symbolises the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance"

Oct 27 Sunday Diwali

Oct 28 Monday Diwali Holiday

Thanks for calling the company, Gibbo1066, but "soon" might be in the same class as "a few days" and "drilling next week"

TCGLOVER - I'm hoping I'm not one of the "others" that is getting on your nerves with my silly nonsense rhymes - only do it for light relief. Apologies if I am and I will shut up, if so.

I agree Magoo - "The appropriate time" will be different for each LTH

LGO-fan - As my poetry is pretty awful, I suppose the comparison with Leo's time-lines is is probably valid

Razorman - did you get an acknowledgement to your email?

From a disappointed LTH but I'm sure I will recover

Credibility is hard to win
with presentations, interview
Hard to know where to begin
Your credibility Leo, you just blew.

You cannot say a "just few days"
or tweet a "drilling next week" too
Please do look at your turn of phrase
I think your PR's gone askew

I know tomorrow never comes
But next week's joined the never queue
Hard won credibility succumbs
Before you post, please think it through.

Surely there will be a tweet or something from cerp today for the delay?

Apologies for the repost but

I always rush to press too soon
More readable after this fine-tune

What do we have, let’s make a list,
From this summary, to give the gist
Of what there is and what may be,
Optimism with no apology.

South American focused E&P,
Not just Leo’s idiosyncrasy.
But in Suriname, no guarantee,
A&D of Weg Naar Zee.

In T&T, production base,
Five producing fields in place.
All the i’s dotted and t’s crossed, covering operational costs.
For Goudron and the other four are almost like a guarantor.

Near term value, Saffron, Clove,
Well could be our treasure trove.
Long term value, CO2, also water injection too.
Following on, SWP with E&P and A&D.

Funds will become available,
Revenues sustainable,
Suriname, Trinidad are both,
Ripe for development and growth.

For those who are not familiar with the following acronyms I have used

E&P = Exploration & Production
A&D = Appraisal and Development
T&T = Trinidad and Tobago
SWP = South West Peninsula

MrMagoo31 - If there is something to celebrate, I will be there. That will be my first cerp get together.

Unless my rhyme makes me persona non grata, of course.

LGO-fan - I was trying to write a sonnet to Saffron but I failed

It had the 14 lines but I couldn't do it in iambic pentameters, so not that good

Another silly rhyme from me

This week, next week, sometime, never?
for this exploratory endeavour
Just a "few days", then "next week"
Last week's next week, now next week?
CERP predictions somewhat blurred.
Obviously delays incurred.
I would dearly like to know,
What is the current status quo?
what are the problems in the way,
Of getting the oil rig into play?
So for my sanity and morale,
A sensible explanatory rationale,
Explaining please, what is the score.
TT red tape or something more.

"The next few days" has become 13 days so far - perhaps Leo really does have to remember his motto of "under promise, over deliver".

Mind you with "drilling next week" we still have tomorrow.

Would be good
