I wonder if S&S could be back onsite this weekend? Crunch time?

BH - moving fast mate. Casing to 1500m going in.

GP, are you sure you read it? It's the Decision Document compiled by the Environment Agency in which they gave their permission for Rathlin to drill WNB-1. I don't think you can suggest that it doesn't apply anymore because it's old, because it's still in date - unless it's been varied it is what is currently in force.
I also don't think what is below ground has changed a great deal since that document was put together either to be honest.

BH, not that I can remember. I believe they had permission, but the site wasn't under the same scrutiny it is now, so perhaps it may not have been noticed. I can't remember any drone footage for instance.
It does seem that a lot of information was gathered from the WNA-2 well without completing the EWT, so maybe they did?

GP.

A drill stem test may be carried out during the drilling operation to determine whether petroleum is present in the target formations.

A DST is a short duration test to provide an initial analysis of the petroleum composition and it's flow characteristics within the formation. The initial information obtained during the DST will be used to inform a decision whether to run casing across the formation and, if so, to establish a more detailed and specific longer term testing programme, often referred to as an extended well test.

In order to perform a DST, a packer will be run on drill pipe and set immediately above the formation being tested to provide isolation from the well bore. The formation will then be flowed, with fluids being flowed to surface through the drill pipe.

Once at surface, fluids will be diverted by temporary pipework to a 3 phase separator, which will separate out oil, gas and produced liquids. Oil and produced liquids will be diverted via temporary pipework to dedicated storage tanks onsite for subsequent offsite removal for sale or disposal respectively. Oil will be transported by a licenced haulier to a permitted refinery for sale. Any natural gas separated during the 3 phase separation will be diverted by temporary pipework to a ground flare located onsite for incineration.

Sorry, wrong board (although it is relevant).

Let's hope the drone operators are investors and not tree huggers, smokie. Honest information is key, and the tree huggers are lying bastards!
I hope you buy back bigger mate!

BH, don't forget they need to case to 1500m first - KA is around 1700m (assuming the info is still correct). 7 days looks a bit too soon to me, but who knows...

BH, I was invested during the WNA-2. From my recollection there was absolutely no leak until first results via RNS (17th June I believe?). Subsequently, during testing the flare was clearly seen to burn black smoke, but the reason (although obvious) was never explained.
What I am going to be doing is expecting they do a DST whilst in the KA, and hope they use a flare that is noticed during the test. They may RNS results if they are good, or hold until the Cadeby is drilled. Just my guess.

GP, if you are genuinely interested in the Brotherton formation producing commercial hydrocarbons at West Newton, I should think you are the only person. It seems you simply want to post the words 'poor', 'shows' and 'unfortunately' as much as possible.
A few times you have posted 'I can't argue with that', after you have been questioned on your apparent criticism of this prospect and been proven to be incorrect, but you continue to bring up the same arguments in subsequent posts. Your mate who you suggest is a Rathlin geologist doesn't seem to know what is going on either. Are you in fact persimmon in another guise?
It just seems odd that you only appear to look for and post negatives, and nothing positive, when there is plenty to be positive about if you are a Reabold shareholder.

GP, seriously, who gives a stuff about the Brotherton formation when they have found gas and an oil lake in the Kirkham Abbey, and oil in the Cadeby. I'm beginning to wonder if your intentions are entirely honourable.

Indeed BH. Cadeby could be an enormous onshore oil field...could. However, I have already heard Kirkham Abbey being referred to as an oil lake.

I think they could well be drill stem testing the Kirkham Abbey formation before casing that section of borehole, so later this month Wilson. However, they may decide not to release their findings at that stage.

persimmon idiot.

persimmon idiot.

Our stalker has jumped out of the bushes again.

BH, I took it that Exploration was disagreeing with GP - stating that there WAS a reef present and suggesting that oil and gas COULD be present and it COULD flow, so he was agreeing with Rathlin's findings!
