I agree - unless they make howling screw ups on hedging again I see RDSB (or whatever their ticker after move to UK and amalgamation of listings) up towards the £18 to £20 range during Q1 after hopefully stonking set of numbers end Jan
I expect/hope BP could be up towards 380/400 too

What’s thoughts for tomorrow opening?

Anything north of £20 would be a big increase in my profits. If they can also keep Divi at 5% at that share price would be great for my ISA income . With closing of the covid scaremongering I am 100% we can reach it 👍

I think we'll see a £25+ price here next year. Roll on 2022. spud

Oil back near $80 and Moronic covid becoming flu like means 2022 going to be interesting for energy producers and how the world reacts to the under capacity. Renewables still a distant future at global levels

John Redwood@johnredwoodThe U.K. government blocks new oil and gas production at home. President Biden hands out 3091 drilling permits in his first year and auctions oil leases on 80 million acres of the Gulf. US gas prices as a result are affordable whilst UK wholesale gas is hugely expensive.6:51 am · 28 Dec 2021·Twitter Web App

John Redwood@johnredwoodBBC Today's interview on the energy crisis was a proposal to put in more wind farms when one of the main reasons we were short of energy this year is the fact the wind did not blow much. No questions over what back up power is needed when the wind drops.6:59 am · 28 Dec 2021·Twitter Web App

Well said Spud.

All the media want is bad news. Good news rarely gets reported.

Mainstream media will ignore this...

[spud] 27/12/2021 17:40

Once again, the fear fuelled media will have to find another end of the world scenario to propagate to the more risk adverse. spud

Prelude FLNG Remains Shut In Until Shell Makes It Safe For Work

Monday, December 27, 2021

Shell has been told to keep its massive Prelude FLNG facility shut until it can convince NOPSEMA that it can keep the facility properly powered.

Supermajor Shell has been told to keep its massive Prelude FLNG facility shut until it can convince Australian oil and gas safety regulator NOPSEMA that it can keep the facility properly powered and that the safety systems were operational.

The order is a reaction to a shutdown of production from the Prelude FLNG facility earlier this month it lost power, and the crew making several failed attempts to re-establish power aboard.

Namely, the Shell-owned and operated Prelude FLNG facility experienced an unplanned event that resulted in a complete loss of power at the facility on December 2, 2021, which subsequently led to unreliable and intermittent power availability over 3 days. NOPSEMA started an investigation the following morning.

By December 6, 2021, the failure to restore reliable power was seen as an ongoing risk to the health and safety of the personnel on the facility and the regulator arranged a visit to the facility. Inspectors were mobilized on December 8, 2021, returning two days later.

The inspectors determined that the operator did not have a sufficient understanding of the risks of the power system on the facility, including failure of mechanisms, interdependencies, and recovery.

According to NOPSEMA, the power failures directly impacted emergency response capability, operation of safety-critical equipment – like communications, access to documentation, and information. The lack of power also impacted Shell’s ability to evacuate personnel by helicopter or boat if needed.

Habitability of the facility for the personnel on board was also in question as essential services such as lighting, safety systems, communication systems, potable water systems, sewage treatment, and HVAC were affected while seven people were treated for heat-related conditions.

NOPSEMA claimed that it was aware that Shell’s investigation into the power outage is planned to determine the causes of the issues that led to this incident.

However, the proposed scope of the investigation does not provide for a thorough review of the evidence and root cause analysis of the entire series of events experienced during the incident as well as a review of the risks for future similar incidents and actions to mitigate them.

Due to that fact, the offshore regulator ordered Shell to carry out reviews of the incidents and associated consequences that occurred at the Prelude FLNG facility from December 2-6, including the issues identified in the NOPSEMA investigation report dated December 23.

Shell is also mandated to develop a detailed plan, schedule, and commitment to timely implementation of all necessary corrective actions.

Before any hydrocarbon production starts, the supermajor must demonstrate to NOPSEMA’s satisfaction that the facility can safely recover essential power and associated essential services following a loss of power and that the safety systems and essential support systems can operate to maintain the safety of personnel.

Also, on the first business day of each month, starting from March 2022, Shell must provide an update to NOPSEMA detailing progress regarding its orders. All progress and plans must be presented to NOPSEMA once complete.

It is worth noting that the first LNG shipment from the project – originally sanctioned in 2011 – was shipped in June 2019, to customers in Asia. Shell is the operator of the project, with other partners being Inpex, CPC, and KOGAS.

The world's largest FLNG facility has had its fair share of rough patches as it resumed LNG shipments in January this year after almost a one-year shutdown caused by an electrical trip.

The FLNG vessel is 1,600 feet long and forms part of an offshore development that produces natural gas from the namesake field some 300 miles north-northeast of Broome in Western Australia.

IG deposited my RDSB divvies on 24 Dec. I got a statement this morning showing that they had taken it out again. Is anyone having this problem too?

[lippy4] 27/12/2021 11:27

they continue to cover over good agricultural fields with solar panels as the big land owners love them as an easy way to make money,instead they should be covering all house roofs especially new ones with solar panels and save the fields for food production..

why is it not law for all new builds to have solar panels???

@x...y AFAIK, the only proven generator technologies are coal, nuclear, and hydro. Oil, too, but we don't want to be using it.

As always, empty vessels make the most noise. Stuff like wind-power is an emotion-led initiative. Nobody is sitting down and making sober-headed decisions. It gives the Greens the feelgoods, politicians devise policies to get the votes, and even energy companies jump on board because, hey, government handouts. Any voice that declares that the emperor has no clothes is quickly drowned out.

The madness of crowds.

The energy shortage and cost of living squeezeDECEMBER 26, 2021 POST A COMMENTDear MinistersWhen you return from the holly and the Christmas pudding please attend urgently to the energy shortages. The gas price has shot up to  very high levels and electricity is expensive. The price caps will be moved upwards sharply in April hitting people's heating and living costs badly.It should come as  no surprise. The price cap policy has bankrupted a large  number of electricity suppliers. The policy of closing coal power stations, blocking more production of UK gas, failing to put in extra generating capacity other than wind and solar and relying more and more on imports was bound to lead to shortages and very high prices as some of us warned.When thinking about how to abate the cost of living squeeze from dearer energy it is wise to remember the most basic lesson of economics. Supply and demand is balanced by market price. If something is in  short supply its price rises in a free market until enough extra is produced. If something is in over supply the price falls until the surplus has been absorbed and production cut back.If government sets a lower price than the market needs to balance supply and demand then there will be too little supply and a shortage. The government has to allow market prices to rise to bring forward additional energy. If it refuses to allow the suppliers to pass on the  extra cost of the underlying energy then they will go bust unless the government subsidises them from taxes. Prices also of course hit or boost demand. On current policy energy will be worryingly dear for anyone on a lower income so government will need to boost their income somehow to make it more affordable. Taking VAT off fuel would be a welcome start.The only reliable way to get the UK gas price down is to allow more domestic gas to boost supply. Much of this could then be offered as long term contract gas with sensible prices and price adjustments in the contract, to avoid more buying of very dear gas on an inflated spot market at times of shortage. The only reliable way to keep the lights on is to retain fossil fuel power stations as back up for when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine, and to add more low or zero carbon generation from reliable sources that work in all weathers for the future.There is also a crucial national security issue. Trying to rely more on gas and electricity imports from Europe gravely weakens our country. The EU is energy short and dependent on Putin's Russia. Energy will increasingly be used as a diplomatic weapon against countries that cannot be bothered to generate their own power and extract their own energy..... John Redwood

John Redwood@johnredwoodIt takes a lot of gas to make bricks, tiles and ceramics. Shortages and high gas prices are threatening our industry. BBC Today shut down talking about this. Why do so many want to stop us making things here? The U.K. needs to deliver more gas.7:02 am · 24 Dec 2021·Twitter Web App

Germany is shutting down 50% of its nuclear power production in the next 6 months and currently France has something like 20% of its nuclear down for maintenance.

Over the next decade the wind in the North Sea and Irish sea is expected to be 15% plus less then it was 10 years ago. The UK is building all these wind farms, which has a huge carbon foot print to build and all the oil needed to make the blades etc which only last no more then 20 years until having to be replaced and these farms will not even produce the extra electricity the UK will need just for all the up an coming EVs and yet still shutting down very reliable, relatively cheap energy producing electricity.

and with the boris's green plan for our country we cannot develop any more gas wells in the north sea..

they have already shut down our main gas storage to a weeks gas supplies in hand as part of the great green plan,what next i ask you?????

or are theses his wifes plans i wonder??..
