LIES,LIES and LIES and is not only the POLICE lying ..........

....... the SUN did too, as some of the posters over here

history says: one of the UGLY SISTERS was a man

bad habits have no limits on some people

Wow - that flew over me.............

Can somebody explian the process involved in testing the well once drilled.

What is wireline logging, how long does it take to analyze etc.

Actually it refers to a suite of tools you can use.

How long it takes and how many different tools you use depends on what you find.

Basic logging is quite quick.

If the basic wireline logging shows nothing of importance - you stop.

If there is something there you then run additional tools to check :

Porosity
Permeability
Fluid samples
Pressure testing of various zones
etc.. etc.. etc..

Basic logging in a couple of days, full suite in 5 to 6 days

so can we read into this that the longer it takes means they might have something of interest.

i.e if it was a duster they would know by now and we would all be down the pub.

As a rule of thumb yes, the longer it takes to log the more chance they have something to investigate.

I'm starting to think that something has been discovered but ...is it in commercial quantities.....?...

They could have discovered a lair of Morlocks.

Ok so i have a few questions as im quite new at this. I only have a toe dipped and dont really know the ins and outs like some on here.

So, if i look at the days buys and sells. Today there are lots more buys. How does this work. How can you buy more than what is sold. If i had a market stall and it had 20 apples to sell, i couldnt sell 50 apples, only 20. So how can there be 3 million buys and 2 million sells. Dont they have to match up.

Might be a dumb question to some but just trying to understand and learn.

or even morons! ...... a city truism is that bad numbers take far longer to add up than good ...... very happy to be proved wrong, but i still think it's very short odds on a duster ..... i guess it's possible they found traces of other than sand and may well be trying to determine a way to present a bettrer than horrific picture - e.g. it'll help us understand the structure much better or some other paliative crap

note that before the rns sp hovered between 88 and 94, and this morning has slipped back from 78 to 72 though order book now weighted towards buyers

friday is usually a bad news day.

well lets hope rns is on monday :)

jbc - your buys and sells refer to SETS transactions only

I sort of expected some rumours...but nothing at all has emerged....

Feel free to start one rf! Just give me a nod in advance so that I am ready! ;o)

a trivia question ...... what was paul simon's song that could easily apply to today's sp movements?

You Can Call Me Al???
