Stockraiser,

None of the overhangs have prevented them from maximising production during the test period.

In that respect, the taps have been open as much as possible already.

Indeed, they specifically stated that they were using shut in periods (apparently daily, but in reality nobody knows) to reduce water cut.

The implication is that as pressure in the oil producing zone drops, then the dominant flow (presumably from the 'sweet spot' higher permeability zone in the Portland) becomes water. So it needs regular shut in periods to allow the reservoir pressure in the lower permeability oil zone to build up again.

They also have to balance excess gas production, as it's clear they are producing at or below the bubble point in the reservoir.

Also, many on here seem to forget it's not just EA permission they need, it's also required from the OGA and that's the critical one.

If UKOG cannot persuade the OGA that the water re-injection is genuinely for reservoir management and not just water disposal, then their plans will go nowhere - irrespective of what the EA decide.

Window dressing - and poor window dressing at that.

Lot more to UK waters than just the North Sea.

Wizard,

Resource based borrowing needs a CPR.

Of which there has been no sign for several years despite extended production at HH.

Given the stark decline in oil production, combined with the increase in Water production, writing off the Kimm and the failure of HH-2z, any CPR for HH will make for ugly reading...

£500 a month for Gas & Electricity?

Either has a huge Mansion or it's very badly insulated - or both.

Just looked at my Mums - her new bill is going to be about £185/month when the new cap kicks in, and that's a large 4 bedroom detached.

You do realise that there are over 16 BILLION shares in circulation right?

Gideons,

You've already admitted to being Adrian two weeks ago, you are fool(OTH)ing nobody with your denials.

"But reverting to calling everyone Adrian they don't like is petty and childish.
Grow up!"

Considering most of your posts consist of childish name calling of those people who point out the giant holes in your arguments, that really is the pot calling the kettle black....

Adrian,

From the 'UK Oil' thread, you posted in response to Ninetails post about a fire incident offshore;

Yea yea yea..
Blow that candle out Ninebins x

So no, I didn't make it up.

I await with mild interest to see how many times you respond 'just this once' this time.

Adrian,

You never respond to any of my technical challenges to your posts, because you can't.
You have no clue about how the oil industry works or the technical knowledge that it takes to work in it.

Instead you - as usual - resort to cheap insults.

"I have insulted you or anybody else."

So you admit that your post mocking fire safety offshore was insulting?
Good.
Because for that alone you should have been banned.
Again.

Or did you miss out a word in that sentence?

Obviously got you rattled then.....

No Adrian.

Your time is up - in about an hour I reckon.

Agree Penguins, it's irritating to get called a Green when you actually work in the oil industry.

Even more irritating when it's by someone who clearly has no clue what he is talking about.

As for 'being scared' - laughable.

And it makes me fume when he thinks it's funny to mock fire safety offshore. Even more so since he is in the fire safety business himself.

He's never acknowledged my response to him on that, or apologised.

For me, that will always mean he is an XX chromosome parental unit copulator, who is lower than a chihuahuas anal detritus.

Penguins,

You are wasting your time discrediting Adrians posts, as you are starting from the incorrect assumption that his posts have credibility in the first place.

After all, anyone that ignores simple facts and regards David Icke as a reliable source is not playing with a full deck...

Rough had to be closed as it was already operating 5 years beyond it's design life and had serious safety & technical issues that needed addressing.

To do that, the entire 8A complex would have had to have it's wells P&A'd and the platforms removed.

On the other platform complex, BD needed substantial refurbishment and upgrading, whilst BP would essentially have to be replaced - in part because of the damage caused by the explosion & fire in 2006. CD would have also needed refurbishing, but not to the same extent as it was just a wellhead platform.

Virtually all the wells had serious integrity issues by that time and would have needed to be P&A'd and replacements drilled.

Overall, expenditure of c. £1 Billion and about two years shut down would have been needed to do all the work required to bring it up to current operating standards and redrill most of the wells.

Politically this was simply not possible for any Govt to do, as the eco-warriors would have been out in force screaming about "fossil fuel subsidies".

Rough only stored about 10 days worth of gas at it's peak, so it would have made no difference to the current gas price crisis, as those Countries in Europe who have more storage are finding out.

Hmmm, if taking money from Russian Oligarchs (many of whom are here under the 'golden visa' system introduced by Labour in 2008 and are here because if they went back to Russia, they'd be imprisoned or worse) is such a crime, I wonder what description could be used of those LibDem & Labour MP's (including the LibDem leader) who took money from a Chinese Spy?

Oh, BTW, the Energy Secretary who approved the BP/Rosneft deal?

One Sir Edward Davey, current Leader of the Lib Dems.

Yeah, you did.

Like I said, feeble minded.

Gideons / Fool / Adrian,
"Lol. Why do you call everyone you disagree with Adrian Ibug. I think you should see someone :)"

No, you need to see someone if you're so feeble minded that you've already forgotten that - last weekend - you admitted to being Adrian.

And no, I haven't forgotten your disgusting post about fires offshore.

You didn't even have the courage to answer me, you pathetic, mean-spirited, contemptable individual.

From the wedding venue, the top of the drilling rig would be just under 5 Deg above the horizon and take up less than 1 deg of the 360 degree panorama, and it would be there for less than 3 months of the 5 year licence term.

Presuming a well produces 100 BOPD equivalent, 3 x 1.5 MW wind turbines would be needed.

Each wind turbine would have a central tower 65 - 80m high and a blade diameter of 71 - 83m.

Maybe he learned his management style from ARCO?

BP hadn't thought about buying them until the ARCO Chairman/CEO went to BP and essentially told them "Give me $XX Million and I'll recommend any offer you make for ARCO to the board...".

In it only for themselves and nobody else.

Spot on SKWiZZ . Just need to hold your nerve and have self belief. good luck to us all in our trading .

So you are going to ignore my posts of 00:11hrs this morning on the "UK Oil" thread and 23:10hrs yesterday on the "Well worth a read" thread?

Thought so.

Shows the true nature of your character.

"Yea yea yea..

Blow that candle out Ninebins x"

Adrian, you are truly showing your pathetic, mean, nasty side now.

Every single offshore worker undergoes rigorous safety training, including underwater escape from a crashed helicopter, firefighting techniques to be used against oil and/or gas fires (which, BTW, include having to shut fire doors which may seal your workmates into the area where the fire is, sacrificing them to save the installation), first aid and offshore survival.

The fire training is VERY realistic and involves things like finding & rescuing a weighted dummy from a smoke filled room while in full BA kit, and closing a valve which is 6" from a 15' x 15' wall of fire (fuelled by diesel under pressure).

If you don't pass all these training courses, you don't get to go offshore. Full stop.

They have to be passed every 2 - 3 years (depending upon the course).

Certain personnel (like me) go through more specialised well control training, which also has to be renewed every two years.

You don't think we know about the dangers of fire?

We do.

Because unlike you, if the excrement really hits the fan we cannot just run away.

I was offshore on a Drilling Rig when Piper Alpha went up.

Every single person on that Rig knew someone who didn't make it off.

I knew two.

I cannot fully express my disgust with you, as it would get me tossed from this board.

Y'know, what's really sad is that Adrian is so ignorant about the industry, he doesn't even know that there is no such thing as an "oil rig".

It's either a Production Platform (Offshore) or Production Site (Onshore) and the equipment that is used to drill the Wells is called a Drilling Rig.

Gideons (this week),

You never offer any facts to back up your claims.

You have never won any argument, as your claims are rebutted using facts, technical knowledge and logic by those who actually work in the industry.

Your claim that "open to real scrutiny, they get blown apart" is laughable, because the opposite is true - but you are too ignorant about the technical details to recognise or understand that.

And when you get called out by people who really know what they are talking about, you have no logical response - because you have no experience or knowledge of the oilfield.

So you simply resort to cheap name calling and then complain about 'being cancelled' when you get tossed off the board. Again...

Adrian, you are a very sad individual.

As to your claim about my posting being "100% negative", I challenge you to show how any technical post of mine has been wrong.

I know you won't, because you can't - you'll simply dodge this by claiming that I'm a greenie or shorting UKOG.
