“ Inspection & packaging of the 11” 10,000 psi Blow Out Preventer (BOP), 10,000 psi Choke Manifold and associated equipment ready for shipping from Edmonton, Canada to our operations site at Tendrara, Morocco. Preparations for the next stage of the workover operations on our gas production wells moving at pace.”

Apart from a couple of days of 5x normal trades and a modest sp uptick, we’ve also had to manage without the industrial output of the house de- ramper. Where has he/she/it gone? Reassigned to another bb, job done? Has there ever been a whistleblower from the dark side who has revealed who employs them, what targets/objectives they are given etc? I’m all for a bit of forensic realism in the shape of PS, but the output in question was verging on manic!! Would love to know the back story. GLA. MM59
From FB:
The operational team has safely and successfully installed the production packer into our second gas production well TE-6 during the ongoing work over operations. Similar to TE-7, the packer has been set approximately 2200m below the surface. These operations were performed whilst the well remained live, to avoid any formation damage to the reservoir and completion.
Sound Energy, Bedrock Drilling, Schlumberger, Italfluid and Tacron engineers with supporting subcontractors are on site preparing the wells for future gas production to feed the microLNG plant currently under construction. The crew have now rigged down and demobilised. We will now commence preparations for the next phase of these work overs due spring 2024.

Another interesting bit from the pre TE9 FSC

Question from bo42
From Algeria what is the percentage of hydrocarbon in the paleozoic that comes from the very oldest rocks and from the newer rocks
Brian Mitchener (Exploration Director)
80% trapped beneath the salt, 20% in Palaeozoic, below the Hercynian Unconformity. But the stats are really dominated by the supergiants, Hassi R’Mel (produces from the Triassic) and Hassi Messaoud (produces from the Cambrian which is Palaeozoic) these hold > 56% of discovered reserves.

Yes, have just found quote:

Question from Wanger18
You say March for drills completed! Is there any guarantee that we won’t have 3 months delay on top of that like TE9. Or is it now a case of the ball is rolling and barring anything out the ordinary the timescales should be fairly accurate?
James Parsons (Chief Executive)
These are live operations so there can always be delays but to be honest these are simple vertical wells and we have done a few in this geology now so I am not expecting significant delays. If you do see delays it frankly is more likely to be me slowing things down on purpose for other reasons.
When asked if he anticipated any delays with the 3 drill program that any delays would be of his choosing if it suited negotiations. I don’t think we’re in that situation yet with TE10, but a lengthy well test ahead of finalizing TE11 site could be part of the mind games with any interested parties.

. . . the harder they will try to get your shares. The usual suspects have come crawling out of the woodwork and the tree shaken to trigger stop losses. It must be looking very big indeed. Not long till the drill bit starts turning.
