Has a date been posted, yet, for our year-end results?

I see they were in March 2018 and May 2019.

Anyone know if HUR can ramp the 2 Lanc wells up towards total of 30kbopd and flare all the then produced gas? So bringing the price per barrel down without the cost of laying in the Gas pipeline.

Shows the last two days , the UK new cases have dropped.
Scroll down to the list of countries and click on the UK (underlined). Then scroll to the Daily New Cases bar chart - hover mouse pointer over each bar will show actual number of new cases.
Maybe our damp climate may after all be our savior - the Flu virus can't transmit well in high humidity conditions, especially as the springtime temperature start to rise. Fingers crossed the coronavirus is likewise hampered.
Also note the low number of serious cases and low death figures for Australia where they have trialed using Malaria & HIV drugs as antivirals. See for details:

Australian researchers claim two existing drugs could 'cure' COVID-19 after patients they tested responded 'very well' to treatment.

....when the HIV medication lopinavir/ritonavir was given to people infected with the coronavirus in Australia it led to the 'disappearance of the virus'.

An experiment that proved why Flu tends to be a UK winter infection:

By housing infected and naïve guinea pigs together in an environmental chamber, we carried out transmission experiments under conditions of controlled temperature and humidity. We found that low relative humidities of 20%–35% were most favorable, while transmission was completely blocked at a high relative humidity of 80%. Furthermore, when guinea pigs were kept at 5 °C, transmission occurred with greater frequency than at 20 °C, while at 30 °C, no transmission was detected. Our data implicate low relative humidities produced by indoor heating and cold temperatures as features of winter that favor influenza virus spread.

Also:
.... we normally think that the damp makes us ill, rather than protects us from disease. But to understand why, you need to grasp the peculiar dynamics of our coughs and sneezes. Any time we splutter with a cold, we expel a mist of particles from our nose and mouths. In moist air, these particles may remain relatively large, and drop to the floor. But in dry air, they break up into smaller pieces – eventually becoming so small that they can stay aloft for hours or days. (It’s a bit like the mist you get when you turn a hose pipe to its finest spray.) The result is that in winter, you are breathing a ****tail of dead cells, mucus and viruses from anyone and everyone who has visited the room recently.

I think GENL should be ok from its low cost of production point of view, but with Iraq getting much of its income from oil are we going to find the government becoming strapped for cash, with the knock on being, we start seeing delayed payments? Any thoughts?

I notice water is starting to get a mention again!
In my opinion - and rather simplifying the maths - taking a 15k bopd rate at a PI (productivity index)of 200 would cause 15,000/200 = 75 pounds per square inch, down the well, pressure drop as a result.
Now 1 pound per square inch pressure drop can lift a column of water just 2.31 feet (0.704metres)
So the ‘suction’ of 75 psi in the wellbore caused by drawing 15kbopd could lift the aquafer water some 75 x 0.704metres = 52.8metres.
So, even if there are good fractures going straight down from the wells to the aquafer, by my ballpark calculations, that amount of water lift is considerably less than the distance from the lowest point of the deepest Lancaster horizontal production well ie. the 7z well, which is 268metres above the oil water contact depth of the aquafer. So, still over 200 metres of separation from the aquafer water, even when 'pulling' 15k bopd from the 7z well - And the 6 well at least as good.
Anyone got any more indepth/accurate calculations they'd like to share?

Is that a definite, that gas flaring is limited to 20kb/d, or is gas flaring limited to whatever the output of the 6 and 7 wells are set to produce? Which, if so, could readily be raised to give 15kb/d each with a bit of debottleneck fettling. After all the PI of the wells is so high that the pressure drop would only be about 75 - 80 psi and at that small pressure drop the resultant small lift on the aquifer should still gives a huge margin of safety.

particularly interesting: click on 'Show Graph' in 'Active Cases' box, then move mouse pointer over the graph line to show active cases on a specific date - since the 19th Feb have been steadily falling - looks like China's strategy is slowly working.

Bridge Plugs: Bridge plugs are a mechanical plug that is used to provide a solid seal
within a wellbore for plugging. Some bridge plugs are designed to be easily drillable in case the well is desired to be
reentered at a later date. Bridge plugs are typically made of cast iron with duel slips with a sealing element between the slips. The plug is designed to be set in a wellbore and then have cement set on top to provide a complete seal of the
reservoir below.
