I have faith in this horse, if it does not fall at the first its a winner. Good luck 3m. lol

If that horse wins do not sell your RRL shares. :-))

It might be on its way to Puntland and not Aintree - Oh! Deary Me what next. I must eat or will have a hangover from hell. Glad we can have a laugh but will definitely have a little dabble if it is still running and not flying. GL to you to.

Just put £10 for ACCORDING TO PETE 28/1 With William Hill. Drinks all round if it wins.

Is that to win or e.w ? I make myself laugh I would not put a penny in a one arm bandit and only bet on the national but have thousands of wasted money in shares - a womans logic or not? I believe there is still fog in China !!

To win. If kim mentions this horse on here,I can guarantee it will fall over or not come out the starting gate. lol. Im in it all or nothing. lol

£10 to win isn't going to break the bank of Montecarlo. Give it a whirl.

What you putting on £1000 lol. A nice £280 if it wins. It meaning, I take it its a horse
and not a camel. Not seen a photo. Best way I think, not have a clue what im doing. lol

Gosh you must be joking £10 is enough to bet on a nag, as we all know the National is anyones race. I have one called Rare Bob - Bob being my Brother-In-Laws Name to whom we do not see eye to eye so that is worth another small £1 e.w. to me. Aintree Race Course is approx. 15 mins away from me down the M57 me thinks but have never been. Last life was a copper and would not go as he insisted he worked there and did not want to go for a day out - How Sad no wonder I am in denial. The good news is I am far more astute.

Lets hope for a win 3 m , good luck.

Talk of this horse is on the Other Range boards - money am was 1st.

According To Pete

PETE could be perfect. Yorkshire’s great hope is, like Compo, Clegg and Foggy, getting better with age. Enjoyed a nice warm-up at Kelso.

The poor thing has had to be put down - how terribly sad. Did a few and didn't get anywhere with anything most of them fell. How did you do DC?

Sad news 3m. He fell over a faller at the 23rd jump. Thought we had an outside chance at that point, as he was 4th or 5th. Should make the jumps less severe.
That was the only horse I have ever bet on.

As I said before I only ever have a little flutter once a year on the Grand National - agree they should make the jumps less severe. I hate to know that any horse has lost its life doing what it is suppose to enjoy doing. I won't loose any sleep over the small amount of cash I lost today not like Petes owner, trainer etc. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Good weekend 3m.

Oil canot be taken out of the ground and be immediately stored in tanks, or be shipped to some foreign refinery to be refined.

The RVP of the oil has to be reduced by removing excess gas from the oil so that it is stable enough to be shipped. Crude tankers are not built to handle high pressure liquids so the RVP has to be reduced.

Also many impurities may have to be removed, salt for instance. If the salt content is high, it will enhance corrosion in the tankers, and the recipient tanks, so they will have a maximum salt content that they will carry, laid down by the shipping authorities / tanker owners.

So, basically the crude has to be de-gassed and probably desalted as a minimum before any of it can be shipped to market.

De-gassifying means building a plant with de-ethanisers,, de-butinisers, de-propanisers, depending on the exact make up of the crude oil, meaning that they can also sell refined gas to the markets.

There is a short cut to pump these gasses back down the wells to enhance the pressures in the field, but I am not really sure if this can be done without at least some of the separation plant being installed as mentioned above.

Desalters are basically water injection vessels, pumping in fresh water to wash the salt out of the crude oil, then taking the lighter crude oil off at the top of the vessels, and removing the water from the bottom. Again, that would need plant built to somehow dispose of the salty water, unless it could also be pumped to the bottom of the well to retain pressures.

Simultaneously, jetties, or single buoy moorings / single point moorings would have to be in place to be able to load the tankers. Jetties only for handling gas.

The above plant would take at least a year to build, with the planning etc taking just as long, if not more. I cannot see them being able to sell crude oil to the markets for at least two years.
