JA51: please excuse my ignorance on drilling rigs. I’ve just looked at a lot of photos of flare stacks and some of them look very similar, if you’re referring to that scaffolding thing at the back, behind the metering skid, to the right of the large white cylinder.

New drone image on Twitter. It's definitely on SF7.

Either a workover or the sidetrack!....RNS PLEASE!

If they have managed to get a rig at short notice that would be a superb RNS.

do we have a winner ....the smell of stale urine is strong , has 13reallyneedsahobby47cptmainwaring posted?

[1347] 08/12/2021 16:15

Maybe they really are going for a ferris wheel for Christmas?

[headinthesand] 08/12/2021 15:51

And why pay for something you've only just confirmed you're now not going to be using for at least four to five months?

As with the vast majority of things ANGS, this doesn't look at all joined-up to me.

Maybe... just maybe... George has changed his story to shareholders that many times recently, he's forgotten to update his suppliers?

IMHO, that's the problem with making things up on the hoof... you have to keep track of your own tall tales!

CQ ;-)

That most certainly is a mobile drilling rig, well spotted. Why it's on site now is a mystery, perhaps it became available and they took it? I'd expect an update if that was the case.

[jtidsbadly] 08/12/2021 15:44

....or maybe that Joule-Thomson valve is lost in the sea lanes and they’ve changed the batting order again.

[sincero1] 08/12/2021 15:44

so many self titled experts on this board but still so many guesses..... just embarrassing .......


sets timer for that smell of stale urine , irrelevance ... and lashings of negative supposition ...

[jtidsbadly] 08/12/2021 15:41

Presumably that bit on the top hasn’t arrived. That’s the trouble with multiple specialist contractors, the rear end doesn’t know what the elbow is doing, what? Maybe someone said they needed a spud, as we’ve been saying all these months.

[headinthesand] 08/12/2021 15:34

Maybe, but still, how then is the RNSed statement "The rig procurement for the side-track continues to be held back by logistical issues" in any way true?

[1347] 08/12/2021 15:32

Are they doing some work on SF07 that is not drilling, e.g. some logging or bore assesment?

[headinthesand] 08/12/2021 15:25

As WG818 has commented next door, the thing that looks to all intents and purposes like a rig is either on or right next to SF7, the well that has been pencilled in for sidetracking.

If that is a rig (and I can't think of anything else it can realistically be), it's very confusing as to why it's appeared right now? I mean we got told only 8 days ago that the company was now not going to drill any sidetrack until well into Q2, because (allegedly) of "rig procurement issues" - and yet there seems to be one there now? From the ANGS Nov 30th RNS:-

"The rig procurement for the side-track continues to be held back by logistical issues and rather than risk a drilling programme running over into our commissioning timetable, the Company has decided to defer the side-track until shortly after First Gas."

and:-

"...the sidetrack itself scheduled for April/May 2021".

It would seem bizarre, but I can only imagine that they either forgot to cancel or more likely, left it too late to cancel - anyone got any other suggestions? I mean, the last thing one would want is to be paying for an inactive rig to be sat there for a number of months... so if a rig has magically appeared on site, why in the world aren't they gearing up for sidetrack drilling (originally scheduled for Jan 4th and which - as we'll remember - was going to be completed in next to no time, rather than 16 weeks)?

As with so many matters ANGS, very little makes sense.

Yes but there was another photo I recalled from a while ago and I thought it may be the same thing but clearly not.

[ja51oiler] 08/12/2021 14:52

NO..... that was it quite clearly in the background!

[rmart] 08/12/2021 14:41

ignore that. I thought it was sometying else

[ja51oiler] 08/12/2021 14:40

Funny they haven't Tweeted pictures whatever it is!

[ja51oiler] 08/12/2021 14:39

Could be a pilling rig I guess?

[ja51oiler] 08/12/2021 14:34

It looks like a rig to me!

[jtidsbadly] 08/12/2021 14:24

Flare stack?

[ja51oiler] 08/12/2021 14:17

So I'm just looking at the delivery photos again and if you look behind the new grey bit of kit their appears to be a rig on site!.... Workover?
