In that case don't you mean freeloading?

I'm gonna have ta get u a dictionury........

Coffeemug,

Sounds like you're really tensed up, have I hurt your feeling?

Mawwhahahahahhahahahhhaha!

Coffeemug,

If you do some research you'll find out the rig is being mobilized.

I've more than you'll ever own so don't sweat it pal.

How are those ridiculous stocks your pumping to high heaven on X doing? 30+ down now geez I hope peeps over there have paid no attention to your wild rampathons.

They've mobilized the rig so let's hope it's spud at long last and they've ordered the drilling fluid etc..

If it's started the horizontal sidetrack then we should get a RNS next week.

I think CASP are going to have to do a new CPR soon after Block 8 has been signed off to include some P1/P2/2C Reserves as the currently flowing two deep wells have been producing oil for sometime, however in saying that they may well wait until A7/A5/802/803 wells have been completed later this year (by summers end?) with new shallow Dolomite reservoir to include too, so new CPR year-end/ Q1 next year?

CASP say they'll be no more exploration wells drilled on the BNG contract area (Block 8 will definitely if there's oil flowing on the two new structures or not) so I reckon we could see an Appraisal Program put together early next year on the BNG license, it will cost a few hundred million to begin with with an oil pipeline included in planning costs - Major onboard after FEED done?

A busy year ahead and hopefully there'll be some bubbly flowing too.

Coffeemug,

That didn't make sense, do you mean semblance?

Try using smaller words.

Coffeecuos,

What are you talking about, I've already explained what to expect in the next update and when and a lot more so why are you telling me stuff I've already posted.

Please keep up.

P2..........Yelemes Deep

The Yelemes Deep structure extends over 36 km2. To date two deep wells, 801 and 802 have been drilled to depths between 4,000 and 4,868 meters with a third deep well planned to spud before the year end.

At Deep Well 801 we are working with external geologists to determine the next course of action.

''Deep Well 801 was originally drilled to a depth of 5,050 meters reaching Total Depth in July 2015. As with the other deep wells drilled at BNG the well was blocked by a combination of excess drilling fluids and rocks from the potential reservoir.

For an extended period, the Company sought to remove the blockage with the use of chemicals and by periodically opening and closing the well as pressures grew. During that time oil flowed to the surface under its own pressure.

In May 2018 the Company announced it successfully completed a 350 meter side-track from a depth of 4,501 meters by-passing the blocked pipe. A 5-inch liner was run to the new bottom of the borehole at a total depth of 4,852 meters.

During the drilling of the side-track we encountered four potentially oil-bearing intervals. The first of 6 meters between 4,535 and 4,541 meters; the second is of 20 meters between 4,554 and 4,574 meters; the third is of 59 meters between 4,635 and 4,694 and the fourth is of 36 meters between 4,812 and 4,848 meters. Subsequently we perforated 75 meters of the intervals identified.''.

The 801 Deep Well has massive potential - why is the 803 Deep Well drilling to 3,950 meters and not targeting these very thick intervals deeper down as in the 801 Deep Well?

The 802 Deep Well has found commercially flowing oil at 4,000 meters so maybe they're drilling the 803 Deep Well to the same depth just to get some deep flowing oil under their belt from this interval(s) and will leave the deeper intervals in the A6 Deep Well until the Geo's and A6-7-802-3 well out comes.

Block 8

The Block 8 contract area extends over 2,823 km2 with three identified structures and production from two existing wells.

Drilling at Deep Well AKD-4 has reached its planned total depth of 3,922 meters and preparations are underway to test the well (Deep Well T-2D, has a planned total depth of 3,500 meters).

What's interesting is deep oil has been found/ flowing across all 4 structures between a depth of 1,500m, whether any of the structures are connected is still to be discovered, a common factor is deep oil has flowed commercially between approx. 4,000m and 4,400m across 3 of the 5 structures with the 2 on Block pending testing - if at all, is this where the structures could be connected?

Airshagyl

The Airshagyl structure extends over 58 km2. To date four wells have been drilled to depths between 4,400 meters and 5,300 meters.

The Planned Total Depth of the A7 Deep Well is 5,300 meters with an interval of interest identified at approximately 4,000 meters.

Deep Well A6 was drilled on the Airshagyl structure in 2015. The well was drilled to a depth of 4,516 meters but given the experience gained in drilling the earlier deep wells, the drilling phase proved easier although issues were encountered when drilling through the salt layer.

Caspian Sunrise has twice attempted without success to perforate up to a 60-meter section of the 100-meter oil bearing interval, using different contractors on each occasion. After further investigation it appeared that both attempts to perforate the well failed with little or no penetration of the casing to allow oil to flow.

Get these intervals perforated and who knows how much oil will flow - tip for Shin use much more powerful explosives and frack this fukcer boooooooooooommmmmmm!

Deep Well A5

As previously announced the side-track from a depth of 3,796 meters successfully reached a depth of 4,405 meters without incident, which has become the well's new Total Depth.

Since then cementing has been successfully completed, the well extensively cleaned and subsequently perforated over a 63 meter interval from 4,331 meters to 4,394 meters.

Another whopping interval of 63 meters that flowed nearly 4,000 bopd, will the Block 8 rig do the job and the new formulated acid work? No stuck pipe please!

The A8 Deep Well flowed 120 bopd from 1 of 3 intervals but was deemed none commercial - at what depth was the interval that flowed and was this well drilled on the boundary of the structure?....................

Coffeecups, they've already exercised the option to buy Block 8 - there's no going back the letter's in the post.

After CASP acquired the option to buy Block 8 in September 2022 (nearly a year and half ago) I reckon CASP's drilling company spud the two Block 8 wells not long after around February/ March 2023 hitting TD in September and have now been ready to flow test these two wells for 5 months now. They will have drilled through various intervals of interest on the two new Block 8 structures so the question is what is it they're preparing to test? They will already know the interval(s) thicknesses and if any oil flowed to surface from an open hole/ saturated core samples, if you ask me it's looking good as you don't test water 😉

Roll on the Regulations etc. signed off.

Coffeecups/SmartyP1 - CASP have recently released RNS updates within a couple of months of each other so it's logical to think the next RNS update would be March/April but don't expect any TD's etc. other than what I've stated.

SmartyP1 - It's highly unlikely CASP will bore the cost of building a beach-pad as all costs and upgrades were agreed to be paid by the hirer who decided where the borehole should be, which is deeper than the drill ship is made for.

In your coms with CC did you ask him if they were waiting on Block 8 regulations to be passed before flow testing the wells?

Cont.......

All in all the work that should have been done in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024 have all been pushed into Q3 2024 so hopefully (there's that word again) summer will be much better than the start of this year.

A very large pinch of realism is needed if you guys think the deeps will be flowing in March-April.

With all 4 deep structures possibly flowing mid year thing are looking up at long last............

March or April for the deeps? - Not a chance!

The 803 Deep Well has been averaging 3m per day for 3 months - that's 500m drilled in 3 months with another 3,700m still to drill!

The A7 Deep well took 4 months to drill to 2,150m with another 3,150m still to drill, and the well has still not spud!

Shallow Well 155 is still waiting to spud after drilling the 142 Shallow Well shambles, which will take 4 months to drill, so June-July to flow test it.

The A5 Deep Well should have spud mid-November last year and has yet to start drilling the sidetrack - it's beyond a joke!

802 Deep Well has 3,400m of stuck pipe remaining and still no specialist 'partner' on board to try and remove it!

Both Block 8 Deep Wells are still waiting to have Regulations passed, so they can get on with fracking/cementing and flow testing the wells!

801 and A6 Deep Well to be decided on when A7- 802-3 Deep Wells results are known.

Also the reason they have now dropped their CE payment from $15m to $10-15m is because : 62 days of planned drilling * $150,000 per day = $9,300,000 plus a 15 day 'potential' delay factored on top adds another 'possible' $2,250,000 so they'll get around $9,300,000 and $11,550,000 far below the initial $15,000,000 touted!

And they're getting $32-$34 pboo Gross which after taxes and transports cost will probably be around half of that - what are the trucking costs $10 per barrel?

Production down 800 bopd since Q4 2022 - BoD who sign off the RNS's have been telling us more porkies stating production was 2,000 bopd for the last 6 months when in fact it's been around 1,600 bopd! Is CC have a laugh with hi one-liner ''With the return of Well 142 production levels are moving in the right direction'' - LOL 1,900 bopd is still less than reported multiple times, but yeah better than 1,600 bopd...........

Possible short term news is Block 8 regulations passed and they can get on with flow testing both wells - they will need to bring back one or both rigs to do this, which are currently being used elsewhere - I don't see them using a workover rig to do this work unless they've already done the work and just waiting for Regulations to pass so they can announce the flow test results?

802 Deep Wells stuck pipe removed in the next couple of months.

141 Shallow Well needs 27m of stuck pipe removing so they can start sidetracking the well.

Another shallow well (807) flows next month.

A5 Deep Well sidetrack started.

The biggest news for me in the last RNS is the Dolomite reservoir is flowing - how thick is the 160 bopd interval and how far does is stretch?

All in all the work that should have been done in Q4 2023 and Q1 2024 have all been pushed into Q3 2024 so hopefully (there's that word again) summer will be much better than the start of this year.

A very large pinch of realism is needed if you guys think the deeps will be flowing in March-April.

With all 4 deep structures possibly flowing mid year thin

How low will they go before being delisted?

Limbo...limbo ha... limbo... limbo ha....hah hah hah hah hah hah hah dah....hah hah dah...

...just sold 1,050,000 shares at £0.0245.

Must really need the dosh to sell - a successful 142 shallow well update is around the corner and could see tears 😢

''A G70 rig recently acquired from Sinopec is being tested with the resumption of drilling at Deep Well A7.''

What does this mean ''is being tested '' - why is the G70 rig being tested when it drilled the A8 Deep Well last year to over 5,200m? - recently required ' lol.

Has the A7 Deep Well actually started drilling yet or is the G70 rig being tested first before drilling resumes?

Who writes these updates?

21 December - ''Work has started at Well 805 drilling horizontal side-tracks at a depth of 2,222 meters targeting the dolomite. The G20 rig in use will conduct similar side-tracks in turn at wells 806, 807 and 54.''

31 October - ''Wells 54, 805, 806 & 807 are to be worked over using a G20 rig starting in Q1 2024 at depths of approximately 2,000 meters targeting the previously unexplored Dolomite.''

I was surprised to see Well 805 being worked on this month (already spud - Jan?) as they said work would start Q1 2024 - I was thinking perhaps 2 of these wells would complete next year after a typical CASP late start, but I now think they may complete all 4 wells - one well per quarter? They're drilling the 805 sidetrack horizontally to 2,222m into the unknown Dolomite zone, at what depth are they starting re-drilling from 1,000m?

142 Shallow Well - how far was the none commercial sidetrack from the original 1,400 bopd interval, was the same interval drilled into and also found too much water ingress? Hopefully the other interval currently being drilled is commercial - news January? Then onto spudding Well 155 - interestingly this well is the final MJF shallow well.

A7 Deep Well - I don't think this has started re-drilling yet as it sounds like they are still testing the G70 rig - I originally thought it would take around 5 months to complete the A7 Deep Well using the G50 rig, but the G70 rig is a more powerful rig so perhaps TD will be sooner? Note the A8 Deep Well took way over a year to compete using the G70 rig.

They may not spud the A9 Deep Well next year after the A7 Deep Well (drilling commitments have finished with the 803 Deep Well), but if they do it's expected to widen the parameter of the Airshagyl structure. The CE dosh may be a factor to spud it?

A5 Deep Well - What's happening with it? It was planned to spud mid-November, perhaps they're still waiting for one of the Block 8 rig/ crew?

Understandably there are some doubts about the Block 8 wells flowing as Carver tends to get excited releasing positive news early and would have expect some new if positive by now regardless of regs being signed off.

803 Deep Well - Hopefully no stuck pipes and a summer TD.

So after the 803 Deep Well and Well 155 have completed drilling that will be three structures the Yelemes Deep, Airshagyl and MJF on BNG that will have completed their drilling programmes, though they are going to re-drill the 54, 805, 806 and 807 wells on the South Yelemes I'm not sure if this structure has completed it's drilling programme too - I would guess it has.

Which means they could be up for selling BNG next year having a much better understanding of what they might have re T/O price tag?

Then onto drilling Block 8 deep wells again, unless someone wants to buy the whole shebang?

Just doodling.........

Coffeecups,

''Work at Well 802 has now stopped to allow the rig to be used to drill Well 803 the last of the deep wells in our BNG work programme, which is due to be spudded in mid-November and drilled to a planned depth of 3,950 meters. ''
