Appreciated.
Thanks

As a non-oilie, aside from the well shut on/off and pigging process, would appreciate an expert view on possible barriers (if any) to success which have to be knocked down in this two--three week estimated period between introduction of hydrocarbons and FOIL - is it a no brainer or are there material technical risks that need to be accounted for? If the risk assessment on that is "low" then I wonder if better informed investors might be acting pre-emptively as if FOIL had in essence been "achieved" already given their assessment of that risk and ability arguably to buy in more cheaply right now. Delighted at progress in any event.
Thanks

I would expect Hurricane should be in control of any RNS worthy news SOB rather than it's current key subcontractor. Strange also because Facebook doesn't strike me as the most appropriate or professional forum to place this kind of news, however academic now if cat out of bag either way.

Strange forum to declare news.
Either sanctioned by Bluewater and Hurricane or project manager and/or Bluewater acting off piste. Either way, I'd be surprised if untrue if genuinely made by the on site PM?

Agree
Facts as we know them right now at least:
1. AM more or less static
2. Flights still booked
3. No contrary RNS
All can form own conclusions from that...

In since 2014 but only actually blogged last couple of years.

Yup - that does need sorting - one aligned message - PR basics.

RNS aside and to clarify, what would be the most definitive indication of a successful hook-up today...is there one criteria or a number?
Thanks

Thanks Miss Dosh - this appears on the UNLOCODE register Ive just googled following your heads-up ..relevant?

I'm not sure whether HURR were obliged to RNS the rope issue (?) however I personally find the transparency of their prompt disclosure reassuring and professional and indicative of a well run organisation. Bodes well for the future when no doubt other niggles and set backs will need to be tackled.

Thanks
Ill give you one in return, again by Nichol.."Tail End Charlies".

Think ADUK may have recommended this pre Xmas (?) - top read.

Dont be deterred Carmaybe.
I've been invested for nearly five years. Aside from some occasional juvenile dog spraying amongst a select few I'm sure you find this BB worth sticking with. There is sufficient expert insight and the rare nugget to offset any downside.

Would suggest important prerequisite in terms of strengthening up corporate governance and transactional experience required around that kind of activity along with increasing HURR professional profile in eyes of third parties, in turn helping to build up confidence.

The test of a good result? Hurricane needs the pressure underground to stay as high as Trice’s models predict, showing the cracks in the granite are interlinked and the pooled crude can flow freely to the surface for a sustained period.

Think Ill have to consider this given my [coincident] nom de plume.

Confidence levels appear to be rising...POO, ships status, chairman's buy in and issuance of report.

Good article - a few key reminders for me:

1 The test of a good result? Hurricane needs the pressure underground to stay as high as Trice’s models predict, showing the cracks in the granite are interlinked and the pooled crude can flow freely to the surface for a sustained period.

2. “The productivity and longevity of that productivity is a concern” with fractured granite, said Ariel Flores, BP Plc’s president for the North Sea region. “There’s a lot of uncertainty and risk.”

The primary risk is in the rock. While sandstone is like a sponge, where fluids move about freely into a well that brings them to the surface, granite is like a piece of glass. Crack a pane of glass in two separate places, and you can pour tiny bits of oil inside each fracture, but those deposits can’t reach each other.

3. Flores said he's watching Hurricane's progress closely and will probably drill its own basement development well in the next couple of years.

4.Even after the discoveries Trice has made, he’ll need to produce oil sustainably to truly win over his critics.

Proof of the pudding will be in sustainable productivity as the acid test of RTs work and model. When (in my opinion) that happens in the near future and the risks dissipate, the critics will be silenced and the potential of this prospect will be very rapidly realised.

Thanks all.
So "in situ" around the weekend of 7th/8th Dec not too far fetched?
