hbr......they will. They will go into it, if there is gas, they keep on drilling.

Would it not be lovely if Casca, Chinook and then Royston sub thrust all had gas......what a whopper that would be.

[homebrewruss] 13/2/2021 11:58

Pro was there a hint in Xavier's tweet that they might peek into the subthrust?

'Royston-1 is planned to be drilled to 10,700 feet MD targeting at least the Overthrust Mid Miocene Karamat and Herrera turbidite sands within the WSW-ENE trending, SE verging, gently folded, thrusted and subtly backthrusted CSKY anticline imaged on SBC 2D seismic data'

I mentioned some environmental permit information last night, the information is actually from here:
Coho -

You can search further here:

DB, I believe von Bismarck had an encounter with Flashman at one point.

Some environmental permit information thanks to Speculater on LSE:

'Some additional information from Primera's CEC6031/2020 application.
The 6" diameter pipeline is sized for 10-15 mmscf/day at 500-800 psi
Also adding two additional 400 barrel storage tanks to bring total storage capacity on site to 1,600 barrels. Projecting 300-500 barrels a day.

Also NGC's CEC6095/2020 application submitted Sep 17, 2020 for an 8" diameter pipeline, 2 km long connecting Cascadura to Poole Valley valving station where the 30" diameter Beachfield to Phoenix Park line traverses. The 8" pipeline is designed for 100 mmscf/day at 600-1400 psi. Cost is stated at TT$58 mil. = US$8.9m paid for by NGC.'

1st one is Coho and the second was submitted prior to Cascadura deep and Chinook results it seems.
Not had a chance to delve deeper but I think the information may be available from this site:

USA --love Americans but nation born out of Treason

[davidblack] 12/2/2021 19:19

Obama was a great friend of the armaments industry and loved dropping missiles. Bush 2 was also beloved as was Clinton.

The only one who didn’t like war was Trump probably because he couldn’t see it as good business which was his lens of all decisions.

As soon as Biden was elected my son started to buy options on big defence shares in the US and has made out like a bandit.

As to the politics, it’s not my country, we lost the right to comment in the 1770s thank goodness. Anyway we have enough political entertainment of our own here.

Txp is far more fun!

How many Obama kill v Trump
How much chaos Obama cause v Trump--ie war zone chaos

[davidblack] 12/2/2021 18:58

Although it’s not polite in Europe to mention it I think Trump did some very good things in amongst his oddities.

Firstly unlike the previous 4 presidents he avoided escalating any wars he inherited. He actually confronted China seriously in a way they understood. Pointed out to the French and Germans they were free riding on defence and that had to end which it will once they feel the next cold wind from Moscow. Another was he pointed out that the UN doesn’t work in terms of things like WHO and has become a giant junket.

However I do prefer slightly more predictable presidents if only to manage the boring 95% of other things as I don’t think Donald was a great details man!

He also killed coal by exposing it to full competition by allowing gas pipelines to be build which would a no bad thing if you like clean air if your a “Greenie”; the democrats would not have done that.

The gas is in the ground guys....as James Parsons confirmed in Morocco and VOG in Cameroon. GLA

DB ...I think we would be friends if we were on the same side of the pond

[davidblack] 12/2/2021 18:05

Didn’t expect this to be solid in Canada today as Monday is a bank holiday “Family Day.”

In the US, it’s “Dead Presidents Day” rather than “President Trump Liberation Day” as one of my American liberal friend now calls it.

Most strange as a Brit as we don’t give a damn about any ex prime minister for more than two minutes post resignation.

Into 180s next week hopefully

[pro_s2009] 12/2/2021 14:28

Good timing zeus......inching up again now.

[zeusfurla] 12/2/2021 14:25

Dunderheed Buys went through no problem on iweb platform. Could be a delay in reporting from the platform today? Prices I got were in line with market at the time around 175p. I thought today a good day to add given news soon and MM's seem to be closing the gap with Toronto in a gradual way. Looking calm at the moment.

[dunderheed] 12/2/2021 13:40

Zeus - interesting - mine are - no problem at all at times of purchase or thereabouts?
It's bizarre - sometimes my purchases appeared in the past and sometimes not - and I gave up looking for them after a few hours. IMHO.

EDIT - were yours at "good" prices though hence may try and "delay" and appear as sell later?
Previously I have purchased and got as much as 2p less on the ask than was showing on Level 2 and on the spread. These were delayed (a little) when that happened and shown as sells - on bbs where they just split halfway between ask and bid and determine in that manner.

[dr pinkstone] 12/2/2021 13:40

Agreed-keep adding

[pro_s2009] 12/2/2021 13:23

Patience is very key here.

Covid is causing lots of delays. Lots of people are working from home. Extra precautions in place.

Add that on to Coho being the first onshore gas development in years and you get a perfect storm for delay after delay after delay.

But....the gas in the ground is not going anywhere. The company is well funded. Everyone is learning from Coho to make sure that Casca/Chinook development runs smoother and faster.

Just a case of sitting on your hands (and buying more).

[zeusfurla] 12/2/2021 13:18

I've had 3 buys today (all under 10k) and none have been reported by MM's. Could be coincidence or MM's obscuring buying pressure? News could be next week or early March - quite relaxed about timelines. Paul said the main risk this year was timing. I've lost too much through past impatience - never again!

[pro_s2009] 12/2/2021 12:48

I think you can see why Paul said........that T&T are trying their best to get as much gas on line as quick as possible.........they are not delaying anything deliberately, its just taking time as this is the first time in a long time its been done onshore with Coho. Expect things to be faster with Casca and Chinook getting on line.

This article shows how the situation is getting desperate for more gas.......and therefore, more revenues.........




Ramnarine predicts even lower gas production in 2021

Expect further declines in natural gas production this year and the country is running out of fiscal space are the observations of one economist and a former Energy Minister.

Former energy minister Kevin Ramnarine said the country’s natural gas production is expected to further decline in 2021.

Ramnarine’s comments came after Finance Minister Colm Imbert revealed that the country’s economy is in peril as a result of a decline in oil and gas production and low international commodity prices.

In an interview with Guardian Media Ramnarine said the challenges facing natural gas production warrants a national discussion.

He said: “Natural gas production in 2020 was 15 per cent lower than it was in 2019 and th.........................

Had to reprocess this one.......got the depths wrong.....my bad


Gr 7a at Rosyton-1 around 9000 feet

Gr 7bc at Royston-1 around 1000 feet

TD around 11500 feet.

Will not be going into Kraken in the Cretaceous at this location as not ideal - this well is designed for the two Herrera sands Gr 7a and 7bc.

(for reference at Royston-1 top of the Cretaceous around 14,000 feet)
