When you try to acquire a huge slice of the company, slowly slowly over a couple of years , you have to patiently ,crush retail interest, and work the book down.As we have seen , the share price has never been allowed to escape north it's always been forced back down, discouraging any retail excitement, and encouraging any new buyers to capitulate and sell.The day of reckoning now nears though...

Oh yeah meant - can turn on a sixpence!

Looks like somebody put a dime in the meter. :-)

L2 not looking bad right now but lately it can turn on a dime.

It depends how big it is. They've only got till Friday and at this volume it's a hard grind. :-)

A scattering of small trades , they will fill that big order eventually.

SOLD BEFORE CHRISTMASBANG GONE A decade or so ago, in the biggest commercial legal case of the year , over which legal costs were over £ 50m, EXPERTS on either side, in a court room , placed a value of £2-4bn on the company - when there was no production infrastructure , no production and no revenue. Huge revenues now , a doubling of reserves since then , and the market cap is less than £ 1/2 a billion. The buyer(s) investment bankers have certainly done a job on suppressing the market share price pre trade sale.Bang Gone IMO. Hi

Malcy .....


Oil price

Oil is happy enough and I’m not going to go through the same argument as yesterday about Omnicron as to be honest the market has probably decided that economies can’t afford to keep closing down and better to get everyone jabbed and boosted. Jet fuel is probably the highest risk as people are happy to travel but not internationally in case foreign Governments change the rules mid holiday.

Retail gasoline in the states is still drifting, sleepy Joe called the short term top there, a gallon will rush you $3.315 down 2.6c w/w, a fall of 8.4c m/m and a rise of $1.157 y/y. Perhaps more importantly is that today sees the start of the two day Fed meeting at which inflation and tapering will be discussed, I mean hey if rates need to go up sometime after the last inflation print why not just go and raise rates now?

No nestofBS its you that's really stupid as you're proving again you know and understand zero about reasons for the much larger pipe. This has been explained many times over the past 10 years.

What happened to the dedicated shaiCON 500k a day heavy pipeline:-)

Perhaps it went the same way as the pressure in the Permian was going to increase the flow rates across the field and several zones:-)

And that 150k a day would be achieved by 2014:-)

[nestoframpers] 14/12/2021 21:48

So the 700 K a day pipeline tie in that goes past Shaikan has about 90 K a day going through it ATM . Funny how they built all that capacity way earlier than they needed to. They must be stupid - pmsl.

I'd expect what we have seen so far .... an orchestrated suppression of market SP, grinding out the few weak retail left, over past 3 years.Immediately prior we may see a violent spike up or down ..in any event the FDP watershed signals a friendly agreed deal, or a public competition.

[goatcam] 14/12/2021 20:02

Gazebo, he’s been sure of it for 8 years. But one day we will wake up and it will be ‘Bang Gone’... just not before this xmas IMO

[gazebo79] 14/12/2021 19:58

Bangone.You seem sure of it.In your opinion then.Would you expect to see a steady rise before said day.Or wake up one morning and Boom?

[banggone] 14/12/2021 19:49

OAP - who cares ? If you want to trade Brent there are plenty of futures and options available to punt.This is a be nailed on certainty - Takeover at monumental premium , and imminent.

Paul, do you actually want a takeover right now? Wouldn’t you prefer to reap the dividends for another year or two? Yes a takeover could happen but I wouldn’t obsess over it. $100m dividends a year and we would both be making over £100k each... not to shabby.

Looks like Brent is anticipating another big draw in the petroleum figures when they come out later.
