St. Peter don't ya call me, cos I can't go

[gagner2006] 25/10/2006 10:57

no, just read the info riddlerone posted etc. company is profitable with its current business, so when they start to make sales of this equipment, then the share price will go through the roof.


not bullish really, but expect good news to flow soon....

[2magpies] 25/10/2006 10:43

gagner2006

you're bullish!!

Any particular slant you wish to share with us?

[gagner2006] 25/10/2006 10:32

sorry one of them was mine at 0.6 1mn

[2magpies] 25/10/2006 10:29

They look like 'director buys' to me.

[maytrees] 25/10/2006 10:21

Largish buys going through too.

[2magpies] 25/10/2006 09:52

If, what, riddlerone says above is true that they've already taken on staff, then the trials must have been successful.

So, big news at todays's EGM?

Expansion of share capital, to pursue growth -- perhaps phenomenal growth.

How nice it would be if it become 'industry standard', and what with the world turning increasingly 'green', its all just perfect timing.

[abubryn] 25/10/2006 09:45

Maybe so. If this new tank is successful there will be plenty of people sniffing round to see what makes it tick .

[2magpies] 25/10/2006 09:10

abubryn

perhaps they thought you might be spying for the competition!

[quidnunc] 24/10/2006 12:04

Not impressive

[abubryn] 24/10/2006 11:03

About 6 months ago I asked if I could at my own expense visit the uk production facilities for producing water treatment units as I had interest as a shareholder and because i have worked on water treatment plants overseas but sadly no reply .Maybe a new PR man is also needed.

[quidnunc] 24/10/2006 10:09

good excuse for a jolly.
Would have been better in Gib then we might have had a look at this plant of theirs which is supposed to be revenue producing.
Good technology but few sales. They need to boot out their sales guy and put someone in who can actually go out and find customers.

[abubryn] 23/10/2006 20:14

Where is it being held ? St Helier ?

[quidnunc] 23/10/2006 11:47

I might even go along

[riddlerone] 22/10/2006 12:54

Morning,EGM is on 25th and at 3pm.I am believe we are not too far away as he indicated that they have taken people on already to service & run the module.As i said the best thing is to give him a call .

[2magpies] 22/10/2006 12:24

riddlerone

Did he give you any indication as to how close NSO is to installing its unit onto a rig?

Also is the EGM on the 25th?

[riddlerone] 21/10/2006 13:25

Afternoon 2magpies,when i spoke to Richard Eldridge last week he was very optimistic .They are sure the demand is there for the Norweigan area,the uk area and global as well.Must say after reading the article and speaking to him we could be sitting on a very lucrative investment.I would suggest that you give him a call ,the number is on the investnature website.The EGM is due next Wednesday,lets hope we get an update with the outcome of the resolutions being passed.

[2magpies] 21/10/2006 10:06

Thanks riddlerone.

If that was on the 6th October, then this bit looks nice (as we are fast approaching 1 month from date of article:

'prospect - if onshore trials go as well as Nature expects - of having a first unit installed on a rig in the very near future for Statoil's ongoing exploration programme'

Very near future. That means weeks not months to me.


Perhaps there's a typo in the next bit:
'The company now uses this process at onshore treatment plants in Stavanger in Gibraltar'. ?Stavanger and in Gibraltar, perhaps?

[riddlerone] 20/10/2006 15:23

Most of the time she does it for pleasure!!!

[gagner2006] 20/10/2006 15:01

excellent article riddlerone

do you often bribe your good lady??

[riddlerone] 20/10/2006 14:51

I believe it was 6/10/2006

[2magpies] 20/10/2006 14:25

riddlerone

Thanks.

What is the date of publication?

[riddlerone] 19/10/2006 14:39

Afternoon guys,well after bribing my wife i have managed to get her to copy this lot for you.Hope it stimulates some input

Nature taps in to waste water issue
Norwegian company confident of offshre success with special unit


STAVANGER-based Nature Technology Solutions has just completed an onshore demonstration of a a packed-down version of its equipment for purifying contaminated water.
The container-sized package is the first production unit made so that the process can be taken offshore.
This move has particular significance for drilling rigs operating in areas such as the Barents Sea where "zero discharge" of pollutants is required, even to the extent of preventing rainwater from running off the rig and into the sea.
Instead of the current practice of bringing everything back to shore for treatment. Nature claims to have come up with a highly attractive alternative in the shape of a small, mobile offshore plant that is capable of processing liquids to virtually pure water, which can then be discharged into the sea.
The company has particular hopes of a commission from Statoil to deploy the unit on the operator's north of Norway drilling programme. It is also in talks with other operators and service companies for possible north of Norway applications, according to chairman Richard Eldridge.
"We are told that the potential worldwide is huge", Eldridge said.
Drilling rigs everywhere have to deal with oily slop tank water that results from drilling processes and washdown of drilling areas. In highly environmentally sensitive areas such as the Barent, this can also include the aforementioned captured rainwater.Traditionally, this problem is tackled by returning the waste water to shore. An exploration rig might have to ship anything from 50 tonnes to 200 tonnes from its slop tanks to shore each week by supply boat , at a disposal cost that is likely to approach $500 per tonne.
About six years ago, Nature developed a treatment process based around a "green" organic adsorbent developed and patented by director Stig Keller that binds the pollutants.
The company now uses this process at onshore treatment plants in Stavanger in Gibraltar, where it has the contact for management of port waste. The high transportation costs involved in oily water treatment for exploration operations has led to increasing attention being given to the idea of carrying out clean-up at the point of generation on the rig itself. This is whate Nature claims is feasible with its new package.
"At the request of oil companies and offshore operations, we have been developing a rig based 'discharge to sea' system for the past year at our technical base in Stavanger", said Eldridge.
The central challenge is to pack all the equipment into as small a package as possible because of the premium on space offshore.
"We have got everything inside a 20-foot container that weighs around 10 Tonnes and is capable of dealing with five-to-10 tonnes per hour of water", said Eldridge.
"This is probably a 90% reduction on the space typically occupied by such equipment onshore".
A new subsidiary of nature,called Northern Treatment, has been formed in conjunction with the SAR group in Norway to launch and operate these offshore units on a rental basis in Norway.
The immediate attraction for the company is the prospect - if onshore trials go as well as Nature ecpects - of having a first unit installed on a rig in the very near future for Statoil's ongoing exploration programme in the Barents Sea.
Nature is confident enough to have set aside $1.2 million for building the intial unit and its demonstration "Once we get our first offshore application on a rig such as Polar Pionner, we will build several units for the Norwegian market and are now starting to develop the UK and international markets," said Eldridge, "We will not sell units, but will offer a treatment service offshore, including operatives on a dayrate basis", he added.
At the end of the treatment process, the operators are left with a solid waste that is shipped to shore. The volume, at worst, is only 10% of the original waste water.

Thank you very much wbit
