Uk Oil & Gas Share Discussion Threads

Trouble is a large majority of the small minority are "rent a mob" who just turn up to protest about they know not what.

[gismo] 06/7/2018 10:29

Great amr, thanks

[kemche] 06/7/2018 10:25

WTD - none so valued as your own.

[whattheduce] 06/7/2018 10:23

For a moment kemche I thought you about to make a valued contribution. And market maker treasuries are part of their remit in order to absorb orders and keep the market moving. It is THE key risk they take for which they receive the privilege of setting that share price to cover their risk accepting the orders.

[chavitravi2] 06/7/2018 10:22

Such a pity we are ruled by a small loud minority. Fracking would be the making of the UK much the same as the USA.

[amr2017] 06/7/2018 10:20

Email sent Gismo, scandalous reporting of untruths!

[gismo] 06/7/2018 10:19

Exactly wtd

[gismo] 06/7/2018 10:18

Excellent kem!

When a protestor says there is fracking and the other side says there is not the passive observer is undecided. When a publication or broadcast suggests there is fracking, the passive observer believes that due diligence has been done and the assertion vetted and checked where a national publication is concerned. The weight that such an incorrect headline gives cannot be underestimated. Some of those passive observers are the planning committee members, legislators and voters. Having a wide read and generally trusted publication carry such falsehoods is very serious and must be dealt with head on. Even after retractions and corrections, those wanting promote the lie will still use it as evidence of a cover up. This is a gold dust headline for the campaign groups and every effort must be made to quash it as far as possible.

moneymunch, the problem being people look no further than the newspapers. This is interesting from a Geologist on LSE:

As a UK Chartered Geologist who has worked in industry for over 15 years I can tell you that the recent seismic activity in the region has absolutely nothing to do with the HH well operations. Any trained geologist will tell you that the south-east of england is undergoing regional tectonic compression as has been for millions of years. It is partly this lateral compression from N-S that has created the 'bowl' shape of the Weald / London basin in which the oil has accumulated so we should all be thankful for it!!

The southeast of england is tranversed by numerous strike-slip faults trending roughly southwest to northeast and it is along these faults that stresses are dissipated though sudden small displacements causing earthquakes. Added to this tectonic activity, the 'recent' glaciations over the Quaternary period (last 100,000 years) has led to vertical stresses being set up int he shallow crust due to the transient pressure of the ice sheets which covered the region. Now the ice sheets have melted, the stresses set up in the crust are dissipating over time which can also lead to small tremors.

If anyone thinks that earthquakes are unusual in the UK or particularly associated with oil drilling then they would be well to look at the records held by the BGS at the following link.....

To the members of parliament,

We the undersigned collectively demand that:

1)Severe penalties, including, but not restricted to, the threat of long jail sentences be imposed on all news outlets, whether physical or on the interweb, from disseminating scurrilous and spurious suggestions that the recent cluster of seismic events recorded in Surrey and its immediate surrounds, has at its proximal cause the activities of United Kingdom Oil and Gas PLC (UKOG)without direct and verifiable evidence for the assertion.

2)Market Makers immediately cease and desist from operating illegal "pegs", "anchors", "treasuries", and other underhanded and devious means to manipulate and undermine the value of shares held by decent and upright British citizens who have REAL lives, REAL money, REAL livelihoods at stake.

3)The activities of certain shorting cabals, Hedge Funds, and groups be thoroughly investigated and outlawed for undermining the legitimate operation of the Alternative Investment Market, which has otherwise been the bastion and epitome of propriety since its inception.

4)The activities of an interweb poster who masquerades under the nom de plume of "Kirk" be thoroughly investigated for rigging the AIM market, and if after said investigation he be found guilty then he be thrown into gaol for the rest of his days.

5)Anyone who suggests that the claims of recoverable oil and commercial viability of UKOG are fanciful or preposterous be thrown in the same gaol as "Kirk" for the rest of their days.

6)Free rein be granted to certain twitter posters, especially corpulent ones of Antipodean origin, to suggest that oil is freely flowing from the Weald which is sweeter than the finest products of Tate and Lyle

7)Immediate Knighthoods be conferred upon the avatars posting as "WTD" and "Moneymunch" for services to the crown in enabling so many to achieve riches beyond their wildest dreams.

On behalf of we the undersigned.

Lol....yes indeed activeservo...all eyes on HH now. Gl :-)

Ps Gismo , it puts Ukog on the map...they're not fracking and so there you go. :-)

[gismo] 06/7/2018 09:57

I'm not really concerned about the earthquake moneymunch, they are happening all over the world all the time, we are a living planet, what I am concerned about is the fact that we are seen by the public to be fracking when we are not, it's damaging to the company and in the eyes of people that will not invest if we are fracking.

[activeservo] 06/7/2018 09:52

MM, remember the bashing you gave me last year about my concerns over BB...anyway, lets forget that.,

Back here since last week as flow testing usually gives a decent rise on UKOG.

Just a waiting game now.

Hi activeservo:-)


Earthquakes in the UK
UK Seismicity Map

Historical seismicity of the UK (yellow) from 1832 to 1970 for earthquakes of magnitude above 3.0 and instrumental seismicity (red) from 1970 to present for earthquakes with ML >2.0.

The UK is not generally associated with earthquakes, however, between 20 to 30 earthquakes are felt by people each year, and a few hundred smaller ones are recorded by sensitive instruments.

Most of these are very small and cause no damage.

However, some British earthquakes have caused considerable damage, although nothing like the devastation caused by large earthquakes in other parts of the world.
The largest

The largest known British earthquake occurred near the Dogger Bank in 1931, with a magnitude of 6.1.

Fortunately, it was 60 miles offshore but was still powerful enough to cause minor damage to buildings on the east coast of England.

The most damaging UK earthquake was in the Colchester area in 1884. Some 1200 buildings needed repairs, chimneys collapsed and walls were cracked.

Some of the UKOG veterans (Ray,MoneyMunch etc) know that O&G is my bread and butter.

I don't need to be involved with UKOG and be physically there to know that the quakes are absolutely nothing to do with HH. (As much as the protesters would like it to be...)

From what I can see it's just given the MMs a more successful treeshake.

[datait] 06/7/2018 09:40

Anyway the earthwake would have done some lovely fracturing of the kimmerage. Now thats great for UKOG natural fracking.

[gismo] 06/7/2018 09:33

Excellent, thanks

[datait] 06/7/2018 09:33

Good kemche

[datait] 06/7/2018 09:32

not yet but will do

[kemche] 06/7/2018 09:32

12M - done.

[kemche] 06/7/2018 09:32

WTD - worth considering this also?:

[onetomany] 06/7/2018 09:30

SS should issue an RNS. If he doesn't then maybe he believes he's cause the quake! Send my complaint off... hopefully they get enough to act on it quickly.
