The difference between you and me is I look at the match after the score hasn't started. Then again you are playing with yourself - let's hear what happens last week.

[superg1] 16/12/2014 20:37

So good you said it twice.

[mister big] 16/12/2014 20:24

The difference between you and me is I look at the score after the match is finished ! Then again you are playing with beer tokens - let's see what happens next !

Even I don't get 4 reds bud.

[arlington chetwynd talbot] 16/12/2014 19:54

You got it wrong, admit it.

[mister big] 16/12/2014 18:06

ACT / heart well - the market is fun at times !
That's why I love it so much ...

[hurricane.] 16/12/2014 17:02

The late flurry the last of the forced seller?

[arlington chetwynd talbot] 16/12/2014 16:53

Well get used to the 20's and chat about things.

[woodpeckers] 16/12/2014 16:53

Thanks for that mick.

This is a snippet of an email reply I received from Lance re some concerns I had. Whilst not being able to be more specific he is obviously of the opinion that Iofina is continuing to improve substantially, " The Company has made great progress in the past 6 months and continue to make great progress on the variables and things the Company can control."

Che

Nice one. Good to see someone put the effort in then come to the same conclusion posted all along. I can tell by your post you did your research.

If you are thinking of the bakken water side check out searches around slick water which looks to be the new technique boom coming in the bakken. I say new, but it's an old method.

Che7win, fracking wells don't run for 30-40 years:"

kattatogaru,
be careful making bold statements like that, I do research for hours and hours, when I say something I say it after research.

I have put in 100's of hours of research in the past few weeks - believe me.

I am no expert in the field, never have called myself one, but if I state something I have evidence to back it up, usually from at least 2-3 sources.

As superg says, we operate in a sweet spot, it is the fringe areas where costs are going to be highest. You think of those falling freight rates for train haulage if production tails off...

The wells that supply us are extremely salty and yes, they do last 30-40 years lifespan, I have read this from many sources.

I'm satisfied that it's true.

Yes, you are correct, the oil rate does decline fast, but water is a different matter altogether, go research it.

Besides that, you neglect to think about the refracking which needs to be done on an ongoing basis and in addition, you are forgetting that IO2 is piped into a 100-mile pipeline owned by the O&G operator.

Some reading for you for - I have better examples for our wells elsewhere:

I like iodine and it's been explained enough times re it's unique properties and growing use.

Take nano and the world conquering q dots. Before they get to market it is already being declared as technology that will be replaced.

I watch QMC in the US which have cadmium free dots and they put news out on the topic. Q dots won't be world conquering but with only two coming at it from the right direction they are well placed.

Once they get mass market lower prices on oled q dots start to disappear re screens.

[superg1] 16/12/2014 14:38

Joe

It's called fair value under TO rules. Fair value when you tot up the brine leases and technology is well above the share price so a non starter.

On that topic in the video Tom talks of high Ppm and higher bpd sites. For every one they add opex will come down. In fact it time if the sites are so good then personally I would drop the likes of io1.

A reverse scenario to most where the fringe gold has been exploited by some plants with the rich veins to be added.

Mr Big - early Xmas present 200,000 @ 27.5p buy

[roger melly] 16/12/2014 14:28

ok Who just bought 200k shares?

[joeblogg2] 16/12/2014 14:25

At this depressed price are we vunerable to an oppurtunistic bid?

[superg1] 16/12/2014 14:23

The steep decline in such plays is exactly why there would be a bounce.

Many companies will be selling much of their oil over 90 dollars well into next year and they have to meet those contracts.


What will happen is that the wild catting and fringe development will drop away with small companies struggling.

Eg in te case of slick water (high volume water) Oasis reported 35 to 50 percent increased production per well. Liberty reported 100 to 200 percent.

Oasis did 4 wells and now state they will do most of their wells next year with the slick water method. They forecast they will so 70 to 90 percent of their planned wells. It will mean higher water use but much higher well averages.

In the case of Oklahoma if they stopped fracking tomorrow we would have a very good run of production through 2015. As Rug pointed out in detail the decline ratios are very different.

What's more where IOF plants are happens to be the sweet spot of the area.

At the risk of being pompous, time will tell.

[monkeymagic3] 16/12/2014 14:17

JoeStalin - Were all your top ups undervalued or now over valued? Hard to read through the pomposity. Thanks

[superg1] 16/12/2014 14:13

Trav

It may be worth you viewing the CEO interview with IG. 3 to 4 minutes in starts to cover the opex cost. 1 plant under 20 others over 20. The aim is under 20 (AGM comment).

They have one more or less exactly what they said for Q4. He did say he can control the business but not the share price, which of course is true.

They are on track re the iodine and the share price dropped away.

[festario] 16/12/2014 14:06

They won't stop drilling / fracking... because they can't do without the oil.
If they looked to import it (again), then that would simply put the price back up which is self defeating.
Fracking is part of a national energy strategy, not just a whim to nip in and out of.

[kattatogaru] 16/12/2014 14:00

Che7win, fracking wells don't run for 30-40 years:

"The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that about 29 percent of U.S. oil production today comes from so-called tight oil formations. These dense layers of rock and shale are cracked open by blasting water, sand, and chemicals deep underground, creating fissures that allow the oil to flow into horizontal pipes, some of them thousands of feet long. Production from wells bored into these formations declines by 60 percent to 70 percent in the first year alone, says Allen Gilmer, chairman and chief executive officer of Drillinginfo, which tracks the performance of U.S. wells."

So if low prices persist for a year, our frackers may stop drilling and we may stop getting sufficient brine.
