Mr GRH.....Sorry for Off /Thread, Is the Hoste Arms good for Lunch or the Neptune at Old Hunny?
Or another recommendation please? TIA

It’s very much appreciated , thank you Gentlemen for the generous sharing of knowledge here.

to undertake a second EPT in order to run a PLT.
Philip O’Quigley (CEO of Falcon) commented:“With our unique and extensive position in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, this is really exciting news for Falcon shareholders and this significant development provides line of sight to the commercialisation of the Beetaloo, for which we remain carried for further activity.

A recent report by an industry analyst suggests that gas flows greater than 3MMscf/d from a 1,000m horizontal well are required to demonstrate the commerciality of the Beetaloo. Not only does this test result significantly exceed these parameters and significantly increase our assessment of the Velkerri dry gas play, but it also puts the Beetaloo on a par with other shale gas basins in North America.

While we wait for further news from our operations at Kyalla 117 N2-1H ST2 and Velkerri 76 S2-1, we look forward to working with our JV partner, Origin, in establishing the next phase of work on the Middle Velkerri B Shale.

With other drilling activity in neighbouring Santos-operated blocks targeting the Velkerri dry gas play, this is an important moment for the nationally significant Beetaloo Sub-basin.”

Amungee NW-1H - Normalised Gas Flow Rate Equivalent to 5 MMscf/d per 1,000m Horizontal

3 September 2021 - Falcon Oil & Gas Ltd. (TSXV: FO, AIM: FOG) is pleased to provide results of the production log test at the Amungee NW-1H well (“Amungee”). The results suggest a normalised gas flow rate equivalent of between 5.2-5.8 MMscf/d per 1,000m of horizontal section.

Amungee is located in the Beetaloo Sub-basin, Northern Territory, Australia and the testing conducted is part of the 2021 work programme which is operated by Falcon’s joint venture partner, Origin Energy B2 Pty Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Origin Energy Limited (“Origin”).

Amungee Background

Located in Exploration Permit 98, approximately 60 kilometres east of Daly Waters, just south of the Carpentaria Highway.It was the first horizontal well to be drilled and first well to be fracked with Falcon’s JV partner and operator, Origin.In November 2015, the JV successfully drilled the well to a total measured depth of 3,808m, including a 1,100m horizontal section.In September 2016, 11 hydraulic stimulation stages were completed along the horizontal section in the Middle Velkerri B shale zone.In December 2016, a 57-day extended production test (“EPT”) was completed, with production averaging 1.10 MMscf/d.In February 2017, the Results of Evaluation of the Discovery and Preliminary Estimate of Petroleum in Place were published for the Velkerri B Shale Gas Pool, confirming a gross contingent resource of 6.6 TCF, 1.46 TCF net to Falcon, full details are contained in Falcon’s AIF.
Details of Amungee Testing

The well was successfully put back on production testing on 7 August 2021.Initial flow rates during the first 48 hours of testing ranged between 2 - 4 MMscf/d with rates averaging 1.23 MMscf/d over the first 23 days.A PLT was run on 19 August 2021 to 3,098mMD, just prior to the casing deformation at 3,112mMD.The PLT data confirms that: Only 5-15% of the production came from stages 1-7 beyond the casing deformation point at 3,112 mMD.85-95 % of the production came from stages 8-11 spanning a 200m horizontal section, prior to the casing deformation. The low contribution from stages 1-7 is likely the result of a restriction caused by the casing deformation or the plugs having not milled out, or both.Conclusion: stages 8-11 may be representative of the deliverability that can be achieved within the Middle Velkerri B Shale at Amungee.The PLT test results equate to a normalised gas flow rate of between 5.2-5.8 MMscf/d per 1,000m of horizontal section.A typical future production well would be likely to have a horizontal production section up to three kilometres.The result validates the decision to under

Natural gas updates
Sign up to myFT Daily Digest to be the first to know about Natural gas news.

Natural gas prices in Europe and the UK have soared to some of the highest levels on record, threatening to raise costs for households and businesses as global supplies of the critical fossil fuel remain tight.

In the UK, prices have risen above 100p a therm, the highest level since 2005 and a record for the summer. In Europe, prices have hit €40 per megawatt hour for the first time. A therm measures the amount of energy contained in natural gas and is sometimes used to calculate utility bills.

Prices in Asia are also elevated as countries try to attract cargoes of liquefied natural gas to meet strong demand, with the spot price of LNG cargoes above $15 per million British thermal units (MMBTU), according to energy consultancy ICIS. Prices in Europe and the UK, when converted, are near $14 per MMBTU.

The widespread strength in prices is raising fears that a global supply squeeze on the fuel — one of the world’s most important because of its broad range of uses, from industry to power generation and heating — will only intensify.

“If anything, it’s surprising there hasn’t been more concern,” said Tom Marzec-Manser at ICIS. “In terms of additional supply, there aren’t many options on the table globally. Russia is really the only discretionary source of supplies out there but we don’t know when additional deliveries might start. So traders around the world, from Japan to Brazil, are starting to watch European prices too.”

A prolonged winter drained storage levels across Europe while Russia, the largest supplier, has sent less gas to the continent than before the pandemic. Critics believe Moscow is trying to pressure the EU to approve the launch of the controversial Nord Stream 2 pipeline later this year.

Russia has declined to send top-up volumes via Ukraine in recent months, despite the rise in prices and the strength of demand in mainland Europe.

But Russia has not been the only factor. Natural gas supplies have tightened globally as big economies have rebounded from the coronavirus pandemic. Brazilian imports of LNG have climbed to the

The offence would capture trolling as well as pile on harassment and could be enacted through amendments to current malicious communications acts, which carry a maximum penalty of two years in prison.

Cyberflashing would be included in the Sex Offences Act 2003 amended to include the sending of images or video recordings of genitalia. It would carry a maximum two years’ jail time.

Encouraging or glorifying serious self-harm is being targeted as part of the Government’s new duty of care laws which will enable the regulator, Ofcom, to force social media firms to take down such posts and fine them if they fail to do so.

However, it will also become a specific offence for those who “target intentional encouragement or assistance of self-harm at a high threshold (equivalent to grievous bodily harm),” said the Commission. It could carry a sentence of up to 14 years in jail.

It follows calls for tougher laws by Ian Russell, the father of Molly, who was just 14 when she took her own life after receiving graphic posts about suicide and self-harm on her Instagram account.

Knowingly sending false communications would be an offence if it could be shown to cause non-trivial emotional, psychological or physical harm. Threatening communications would cover “serious harm” such as serious injury like GBH, rape, or significant financial loss.

Prof Penney Lewis, a Criminal Law Commissioner, said the reforms aimed to move from prohibited categories of communication, such as grossly offensive, to focus on the harmful consequences of online abuse.

“Online abuse can cause untold harm to those targeted and change is needed to ensure we are protecting victims from abuse such as cyberflashing and pile-on harassment,” she said

Internet trolls and abusers could face two years in jail, under proposed new laws
The Law Commission said the legislation governing online abuse and harms had failed to keep pace with the explosion in people’s internet use

Cyberflashers and those who orchestrate online "pile ons" could face up to two years in prison, under new laws proposed by Law Commission.

The Commission is proposing a raft of new offences to combat the rise in online abuse which is not covered by current laws.

There would be new overarching offence for online abuse that would outlaw actions such as pile on harassment coordinated against an individual online.

Cyberflashing, where a perpetrator sends an unsolicited sexual image to another device nearby, and glorifying self-harm online will also become specific offences, as will sending false or threatening communications.

The recommendations, due to be published on Wednesday, are expected to be backed by the Government amid concern at growing online abuse not only seen in recent racial attacks on footballers and sports stars but also experienced by millions of social media users.

The Commission said the legislation governing online abuse and harms had failed to keep pace with the explosion in people’s internet use. More than 70 per cent of adults now have a social media profile and one third say they have been exposed to online abuse.

Caroline Dinenage, the culture minister, said the Government would “carefully consider” the proposals as it updated laws for the digital age.

“We are putting new legal responsibilities on social media companies to protect the British public. But we have to be confident we can hold the individuals using these sites to threaten, abuse and spread hate accountable too,” she said.

The Commission said existing offences were ineffective at criminalising genuinely harmful behaviour while they could, in some instances, disproportionately interfere with freedom of expression.

It cited vague terms such as “grossly offensive” and “indecent” which set the threshold for criminality too low and could make consensual sexting between adults an offence. At the same, pile on harassment could evade prosecution despite being genuinely harmful and distressing.

“The result is that the law as it currently stands over-criminalises in some situations and under-criminalises in others,” said the Commission.

It proposed a new offence based on likely psychological harm, where prosecutors would have to show a perpetrator intended to cause harm and had no reasonable excuse for sending the abusive posts.

Reasonable excuse would include whether the communication was meant as a contribution to a matter of public interest. Media articles would be exempt from the offence.

The offence would capture trolling as well as pile on harassment and could be enacted through amendments to current malicious communications acts, which c

BREAKING EXPOSE: Predator Oil and Gas – Uninvestable corporate governance & share sale scandal
BY PETER BRAILEY

I wrote positively, if cautionusly about Predator Oil and Gas (PRD) back in March. A few things have happened since, including the drilling of the MOU-1 well in Morocco provided a very unclear outcome. However I have now come to the view having looked a few matters, including but not limited to the RNS today advising of Director share sales last week, that the corporate governance of this company is so poor, it is completely uninvestable.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Embargoed for 7am Monday 12 July 2021



Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc / Index: LSE / Epic: PRD / Sector: Oil & Gas

Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc

("Predator" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries "the Group")



Board Appointment - Chief Operating Officer

Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc (PRD), the Jersey-based Oil and Gas Company with operations in Trinidad, Morocco and Ireland, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Lonny Baumgardner as Chief Operating Officer with immediate effect.



Lonny is a petroleum engineer by training and has 30 years of experience within oil and gas operations, over 25 years of which has been internationally across all aspects of upstream operations in numerous locations including several years based in Morocco, Egypt, Tanzania, Australia, Saudi Arabia (with Saudi Aramco), Canada, and the USA (with ExxonMobil).

Lonny has a proven track record in managing multifaceted operations across joint ventures, government agencies, geographic challenges and multicultural differences, to ensure business needs are achieved.

He has been highly successful operating within small to medium-sized exploration and production companies at Board level delivering value to shareholders by applying a dynamic and effective management style to daily and longer-term strategic requirements. Lonny will have a strong focus on delivering business goals for Predator capable of creating long-term value.

Most recently, since 2015, Lonny has been Country Manager and General Director for SDX Energy Inc, Morocco and London. He is highly experienced in the upstream and downstream gas sector in the Rharb Basin and is therefore in a position to apply his experience to further develop from the positive results achieved through the drilling of the MOU-1 well in the Guercif Basin.



Paul Griffiths, Chief Executive of Predator, commented:

"Today's appointment is significant and reinforces the Company's position and commitment to developing gas in Morocco. The first step was achieved by successfully finding gas in the MOU-1 well some 49 years after the last exploration well was drilled in this part of the Guercif Basin. MOU-1 established the pre-drill geological comparison with the Hoot and Guebbas gas-producing sequences of the Rharb Basin and most importantly de-risked the pathway required for dry gas from a thermogenic origin to charge the primary targets in a prospective area of over 100 km². MOU-1 therefore further enhanced the CPR prospective gas resources assigned to the proposed MOU-2 and MOU-4 drilling targets whilst adding some additional potential shallow targets that had previously not been considered. MOU-1 was left in a condition to facilitate rigless testing. In common with best practice in the Rharb Basin this will be

Oh dear…..no I play tennis….guess you are not well endowed…. Never mind … it’s not everything
…..even if you can’t read an RNS…..

No just a female….just wish I had more to put in the pot here….but good luck to all who either believe or not….

No worries ….I probably bought the shares you sold at rock bottom price …so thank you for that…
Good luck with your other investments

Oh dear shame you have sold….at least it will give you an insight into reading an RNS in the future
Good luck with your investments in the future

MOU-1 Update

Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc (PRD), the Jersey-based Oil and Gas Company with operations in the area of the Guercif Petroleum Agreement, comprising the Permits I, II, III and IV, located in the Guercif Basin in northern Morocco, announces completion of the drilling of MOU-1. Predator (75%) operates Guercif in joint venture with the Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines ("ONHYM") acting on behalf of the State (25%).

Initial results

Formation gas shows were recorded in a shallow sand at 605 metres measured depth ("MD") comprising 2.35% or 19,392 ppm C1 methane.

Total background, exclusively dry gas, increased from 0.6% to 1.7% (5,232 to 13,800 ppm C1) down to 1,159 metres MD. Formation gas shows of 1.8% and 3.8% (13,355 to 36,035 ppm C1) were encountered whilst drilling this section.

Below 1,159 metres in the lower Guebbas and Hoot (using the stratigraphic nomenclature of the Rharb Basin) total background gas was from 0.7% to 1.5% (5,000 to 11,996 ppm C1) but with traces of heavier gases C2, C3 and C4. Formation gas shows of up to 1.67% (13,643 ppm total gases) were also recorded.

Wireline logs were run from 724 to 1487.4 metres MD over the interval with gas shows.

Wireline logs will require detailed interpretation to take into account borehole conditions caused by borehole enlargement where washouts have occurred in the open-hole section.

MOU-1 drilling operations were completed and a cemented completion was run whilst the well is being evaluated.

Forward plans

The occurrence of good gas shows in MOU-1 with evidence of thermogenic gas migration supports in this part of the Guercif Basin the pre-drill geological interpretation for a deep gas "kitchen" connected to shallower reservoirs by large faults.

Based on these positive results the Company will be proposing to its partner to drill the previously defined MOU-4 location later this year to the northeast of MOU-1, and to commission an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) over the prospective area around the MOU-4 location which will also incorporate information from the existing EIA.



Paul Griffiths, CEO of Predator Oil & Gas Holdings Plc commented:

"We are pleased to have completed the MOU-1 drilling operations which was our first operated well in the Kingdom of Morocco. We sincerely thank those contracted to the Company who have worked tirelessly to execute our drilling programme. We are also grateful for the support and practical assistance given to us by our partner ONHYM during and leading up to drilling.



Based on the positive indications of the presence of gas in MOU-1 we are now proposing to drill again later this year."
