Mickey, taken from the CLAYTON website "Units are designed to burn natural gas, propane, light oil and heavy oil, as well as a combination of these fuels". So why could the initial testing not be done with heavy or light oil???

SO it is agreed the entire board will be tested! all that remains is for the shareholders to decide what the will be tested for, prior to being commited!

or gasoline? Just looked at a sagd steam unit that runs on this!

CJ -No simply its nothing more than a boiler burns fuel to heat the water to HP steam for injection

[california joe] 15/2/2008 09:06

Mickey, doesn't it also run on electric? Surely a generator would be the cheapest way to commission it for testing purposes????

[california joe] 15/2/2008 09:05

Mickey, I reckon it's simply a case of them submitting the application based on natural gas usage and then having to resubmit due to a change of fuel, or submission of an alteration. Like any application, probably reviewed monthly.

Who's to say that the original permit was not in place when they discovered the gas from the well was not up to scratch?

From the time they announced a problem to the time they made the final decision to use propane (remember they were considering the options at the time of the RNS) would make the permit imminent :O)

How do you think they commissioned it if it kept tripping on high water content from the gas supply?

[relishing] 15/2/2008 08:59

Did they? When?

[mickey take] 15/2/2008 08:58

Relishing – As I explained before they commissioned the unit using propane

MT,

It has been stated that the actual operating emissions still have to be tested though, before a licence can be granted. How could this have been done before the unit arrived, was connected up and fueled with the current fuel (propane)?

"horrible feeling weve drilled a duster hope im totally wrong ,heres to blue friday"

Wonder what the reaction would be to the opposite, that they have drilled successfully a 100bopd+ well?

Yes it was a bit harsh, sorry. Just getting tired of reading the negative conspiracy theories. Its quite a tense time at the moment!

Mickey, you may find the answer here:




If not, the AQMD site probably has it somewhere if you can enter the right search question!

NO only foreigners getting married, no gas !!

Morning All

I am not saying you don't need a license to operate the steamer in fact I am certain you do.
My comment is in regard to a post by someone stating that they need a 'SPECIAL' license since the change to propane.

The application for this license should have been made before the arrival on site back in July.

Does anyone know when this application was made and throw any light on the 'SPECIAL' license requirement for the use of propane as fuel?

Oil doing very well again tonight. Now $95.50

[redhill] 14/2/2008 19:40

But as far as i can see that information is nothing to do with the steamer.It relates to another piece of equipment!

[california joe] 14/2/2008 19:14

Calm down dear! :O)

Guys, they obviously need a licence, it must have needed some sort of change, perhaps the air quality restrictions are so pedantic that the exact fuel source had to be specified and this meant they needed an alteration to the original application!

[relishing] 14/2/2008 19:09

MT,

Why would they say they needed this licence if they didn't need this licence? Talk about paranoid! Get a grip!!

[relishing] 14/2/2008 19:07

MT,

You are far too quick to jump to conclusions imo.

Look at all the information available.
