Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I find that a situation where a psychologically dysfunctional immature individual is picking on more well balanced experienced individuals more than distasteful. I see a media choosing a young ' innocent individual using her perceived purity for their own ends. I see parents using any opportunity to elevate their offspring into the limelight and I see an individual exploited for her identity to further the goals of the fascist greenies.
I have much personal experience of autism and aspergers, I was also writing letters of concern for the environment to the hen PM in the 1970's.
I strongly disagree with Yorkshire life in his assertion that we must be nice to the little angel. That is exactly her reason d'etre. An innocent face beyond rebuke.
I do however agree entirely that the core problem is too many people. All other considerations are consequences of too many people and are at best not addressing the root cause. Co2 is just a sideshow.
As one of the most highly populated countries in the world ( density ) it seems the UK is at the sharp end of human destruction.
The planet will survive. Civilisation is what's at risk.
Lincoln 205/26b well (2016)
:-
hydrocarbons were encountered at the depth of the planned TD of the Lincoln Well resulting in the operational decision to deepen the Lincoln Well;
gas chromatography and logging while drilling data indicates a very significant hydrocarbon column of at least 660 metres TVD, comparable to that found at Lancaster; and
the oil down to ("ODT") was observed at approximately 520 metres TVD below structural closure which is 168 metres TVD below the ODT in the Arco 205/21-1 well, which was drilled on Lincoln's flank in 1995 (the "Arco Well").
The Lincoln Well was planned to exclude testing, and the well is now being plugged and abandoned
See the last RNS of 2016 and the first of 2017 for more detail
There has been drilling nearby by Arco in 1975 that gives some confirmation of the geological modelling with seismic. Easiest place too see first for info is page 51 on the CMD presentation this year it shows the structure and the location of the aforesaid well. CMD presentation:

No... I think she was from San Francisco.
Assuming the previous vessel did indeed offload none of the 72 hour initial well test 3 days at 20000 bopd .... 60k .
The initial plan of 9 rising to 17 kbopd was explained as safety limits for the offtake installation, not a formation consideration. It would seem unwise to produce immediately at long term 17K rate initially and as a mid value guess, a production rate of 13-15k bopd maybe not unreasonable.
This gives a mid point estimate of circa 250k barrels.
Hopefully at some point clarification will be forthcoming. With the DST due anytime the SP seems to be in Stasis.
Perhaps you think most people on here have no ethics, perhaps since you're on here + have no ethics and assume that others are like you. You compound the errors you make in your assumptions and engage in patronising superiority. You also seem to have contempt for the democratic process.
It is immediately obvious that you do indeed occupy the high ground.
Methinks you stand on your head.
9Kbopd planned for first 3 months. Standard 500K barrels offload. seems should occur at 30th July. If everything goes as planned.?
As soon as a few days seems optimistic.

Ok you got me. I gave you the simplest answer for the cube root because my keyboard won't type formulae. Now you've asked for the square root I'm done.
All square roots have two solutions, cube roots have three solutions. To work complex roots out there's de Moivres theorem the full set of solutions
Square root
2 values
are (-1/v2)(1+j) and (1/v2)(1+j)
cube root
3 values
1/2(v3+j)
1/2(-v3+j)
-j
aaagh......
cube root of j is ... -j
Ahh amplifiers. Start with the best open loop amp you can make, then apply some feedback. Not a lot.. Excessive feedback only introduces phase problems and poor design. Waveforms are rarely sinusoidal, loads are vaguely resistive. Design for good open loop step response low output impedance and good frequency linearity. Class a is good if your room needs heating, but b can work quite well.
Spent years trying to convince punters at Earls court, Harrogate and many other venues, the musicality of designs capable of sourcing huge amounts of open loop current.
Days past.......
j is a very useful mathematical unit. It enables the understanding of the complex interactions of oscillatory systems. Although often used in electronics to enable the frequency time domain analysis of time sensitive signals. Z transforms including fourier and laplace transforms are useful methods in frequency analysis. The use extends into the physical - the analysis of structures - buildings and even oil rigs respond to wind and wave in an oscillatory manner- they shake. Wind turbines generate sound at their blades which annoy, but in farms can generate low frequencies which can do more than annoy. their turbines generate stresses due to torsional oscillations of the drive train. The mechanical and electrical design needs to optimise damping to deliver efficient output with acceptable stress levels.
Maths does a great deal in such fields but the analysis of wave functions involving complex conjugates leads to an understanding of quantum tunnelling. The use of J or i is immense even if it is imaginary.
The operator is imaginary - the conclusions are real.
Mathematics doesn't lie. Mathematicians might!
This one do?
All the white ones were just off picture. Hundreds of them.

Please stop polluting this board with the mental waste that is apparently emanating from your psyche.
I have solar panels all over my roof have done for almost a decade - earn me circa £1900 p.a. I also buy energy from bulb. I have an heat pump installation and have off grid solar heating. What do i think of the 'green' fraternity? Most are inane, naive or barking mad. 100% renewable energy is just a con, created by certificates and swaps whereby your supplier swaps units of 'green' energy for some 'dirty' energy for a few percentage points. So people like you can pretend to be green. What is 'green'? - Renewable'? oil is renewable over a few million years ( or so!) and the 'renewable' wood fuel in 'green' generators is shipped around the globe with an enormous green footprint so it can pretend to be green for people like you. Although it may take 100 years to renew some fuels.
When is 'green' really 'green'? Your car charges from the grid that is not green, despite your pretense' swaps'.
The human race will destroy the planet with or without pretending green energy at it's present rate.
There is not an ecological problem on this world that could not be improved by the reduction of the human population.
Climate change is not public enemy number 1.
But sheep 'green' idiots readily suck up this narrative.
Do me a favour and go preach to the inane that come out of universities in their thousands with the IQ of a carrot that spew simplistic - black/white pseudo religious garbage about climate.
The world is a complex place, much too complicated for vacuous . virtue signalling snowflakes.
Climate change awareness should also include it's uncertainty and while people are obsessing about CO2 the planet continues to be destroyed by chemical pollution, deforestation, the removal of habitats and resource depletion. If CO2 was ignored at the present rate then human race is screwed anyway, There is not a significant environmental problem that would not be substantially alleviated by a serious reduction of the number in the population. CO2 is just a money making sideshow.

The very monied interests I mentioned who stand to profit by exploiting the climate ''-Crisis'' -
Yes carbon credits taxes, fines and rules make lots of money- 'with added virtue''
Calling people a pratt because you disagree with them is not a reasoned argument, commonplace amongst climate warriors. Any scientific assessment of the issue of global warming or climate change - it's new name since humans are now also accused of causing cooling or warming or both - should be one where the evidence is assessed and conclusions drawn. Errors and statistical probabilities are an essential part of the process. With 'Climate Change' the predictions are just that predictions, based on a computer mode/models. There are also extrapolations of past and current trends, that is somewhat muddled by the leftovers or not of the mini ice age circa 1700 ( or 1450-mid19th) . Predictions like weather forecast are largely unreliable and quite inaccurate - Current published data shows a mean temperature rise of 0.4 degrees this millennium. The current temperatures are below this trend.
Climate change is something that happens all the time, attributing the correct man made factor to the current change is difficult, but is more than likely that there is some, just the amount is vague.
The climate change lobby approach the problem with a evangelical blindness and fervour. The destruction of the eco system undoubtedly goes on but many Climate change theories are more a lifestyle choice than a scientific 'Crisis'.
The real scientific analyses has been taken over and oft corrupted by virtue signallers, political manipulators and monied interests.
Few would have minded a point of view being presented. After myriad 90% negative posts often about the same thing over and over, in my book that's spam. You can call it whatever you like. I never debated anything with him. Some people are on a mission. Leave my ears out of it.
The 'green' people in society are all too often green around the gills. The reality and the rhetoric of the global climate change lobby are quite different. The 'Green' economy worldwide is in the order of 360 billion. Th UN is currently hoping to 'suck' out 100billion from the western economies to kick-start it's green initiatives. This is shortly to be followed up by it's green bonds to raise 76 trillion pounds - over 1 trillion per year to back it's green finance initiative and also to finance it's 'Climate Justice.' Carbon taxes from the west and belt and road type finance from the UN'
It is more clear however that all this is not about the planet, not about the survival of the ecosystem or the people..
It is about $$$ , it is about politics and it is about using green money and regulations to persecute the wrong people and reward the right ones.
The UN migration pact is an integral part of what the UN envisages for the future.
Currently electric vehicles save no one any money nor do they benefit the environment. The environmental footprint of short life time battery technologies is not that good.
Things change and slowly electric vehicles will get better. We are not there yet. People who want to legislate ICE out of existence seem to have a good crystal ball but when it comes to science, the brains of a gnat.
It all about corruption and money. As usual.
Time will only run out when the truth is extinguished.
1969, Lubos Moti, Czech physicist: “It is now pretty clearly agreed that CO2 content [in the atmosphere] will rise 25% by 2000. This could increase the average temperature near the earth’s surface by 7 degrees Fahrenheit. This in turn could raise the level of the sea by 10 feet. Goodbye New York. Goodbye Washington, for that matter.”
There are myriads of crazy projections from Scientists:
Paul Ehrlich a professor of Stanford University in the 1970' gave a speech in the UK at The institute of Biolofy he claimed that the UK would be a group of impverished Islands full of Starning people by the year 2000, and may not even exist at all.
January 1970 Life Magazine “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support …the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half…”
Climate cooling was all the rage in the sixties.
I neither confirm or deny being convinced by either side. I am convinced that people who believe such ludicrous claims adhere to the cult like protestations of the sheep community with the fervour of a religion. I could write a book with all their preposterous 'sure things'.
Before you whinge about fossil fuels on an investment board of fossil fuels you need to get your facts straight and your brain out of the greenhouse.
I apologise to one and all for my off topic (HUR) response to the bleaters.
