i am sure MAM will do necessary.
since you like playing with numbers what reckon you on 9 squared = 81.=the total
number of naturally occuring non radioactve elements in the universe. 8+1=9 all the rest are radioactive.

19/ 01 forgot to add, either or not naturally occuring, ie not being naturally occuring = man made in a lab.
naturally occuring if left alone by man being the main substance. they will ALL stiill naturally occur. man or no man. All 81 of them NO more NO less.
just my opinion.

HC
that looks so much better, but surely it is still not accurate.
maybe next time?

Or copy the Sharescope chart! They seem to have it right.

TOK
how many times does it take to get things right?

re my post 7401
lead has atomic no 82 and bismuth has atomic no 83, both are non radioactive. so how can that be? beware taking this number challenge, it may be lifelong.

Dow Jones Newswires

AMMAN -(Dow Jones)- Shares in Norwegian oil company DNO International ASA (DNO.OS) rose Monday after the Kurdistan Regional Government said it's willing to resolve a dispute with Iraq's central government over oil contracts the KRG had signed without federal approval.
Responding to a call from Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to settle the dispute, the KRG said in a weekend statement that it is ready to do so. The KRG also said it's willing resume oil exports from northern oil fields--after a suspension of nearly four months--provided that Iraq's federal government agrees to reimburse foreign companies for the costs they have incurred by producing oil from these fields.
"The KRG is ready to start a serious dialogue regarding this matter, and we are also ready to immediately restart the process of oil exporting from Kurdistan Region's fields at a rate of no less than 100,000 barrels a day," the statement said.
The KRG also will work to increase production from Kurdish fields to more than 200,000 barrels a day, the statement said.
Around 1230 GMT Monday, DNO shares traded up 15.2% at 6.13 Norwegian kroner. DNO has contracted with the KRG to produce oil in Iraq's Kurdistan Region, and a resolution of the KRG's dispute with the central government in Baghdad might enable DNO to resume exports of that oil.
Al Stanton, a U.K.-based analyst with RBC Capital Markets, said the Kurdish government's announcement that it was "willing to enter a serious dialogue" with Baghdad was positive in that a conclusion could be around the corner for a saga that has persisted the past few years between the Kurds and the Iraqi central government.
But Stanton cautioned that the outcome between the two sides, if one is reached, could still prove negative for DNO.
"The question is whether the companies [that have oil contracts with the Kurdish government] are forced to walk away with smaller profits from demands made by Baghdad," said Stanton, who has kept a "sector-perform," or hold, rating on DNO's stock for several months.
Iraq's recent licensing rounds for oil fields in the south of the country resulted in big foreign energy companies agreeing to small profits for deals. Baghdad may insist that companies operating in Kurdish territory also agree to reduced profits for any resumption of Kurdish oil exports, Stanton said.
The Kurds, who maintain a semiautonomous rule in northern Iraq, suspended the exports of 40,000 to 60,000 barrels a day in October because Baghdad refused to compensate oil companies for oil production.
Iraq's federal government in Baghdad, which grants all oil-export licenses, has been at odds with the Kurds since 2007 over several oil and gas contracts the Kurds signed with foreign companies. Baghdad argues that it hasn't seen and hasn't been consulted on these contracts.
"We are publishing the contracts with (Norway's) DNO and (Turkey's) Genel Enerji to facilitate discussions and to show the transparent nature of these contracts," the statement said.
The Kurds started exporting oil from two fields, Tawke and Taq Taq, in June last year after Baghdad allowed them to do so. Then in October, they suspended exports because Baghdad refused to pay the contracting companies operating the fields.
The KRG said then it wouldn't resume the exports until Baghdad agrees to pay part of the revenues to these companies

And look how good his judgement has been so far.............!

.

Smear campaign not even thought of, by the way he has been in post since January 2007 so has seen and voted on the buying and selling of Whittier the finance model that nearly broke the company and the debacle of Mauritania amongst many other things.

So while I had not intended, he has done it all by himself.

All that is available on the company web site by the way.

Personally I expect things to go right here now, once the Kurds have clarified the position of their alleged illegal PSCs and PSA's with the Iraq Government.

It seems from recent news outlined that there may be an agreement soon.

Be nice if it happened before they drop the drill bit at Sangaw the success of which should double the sp if expectations are met.

I wont hold here however has I have been in and out over the years and really not made too much on this, however I have a morbid curiosity now that just won't leave me.

Welcome. good luck here.

Business Financial Newswire
"Oil and gas company Sterling Energy has spudded the Sangaw North-1 exploration well, its first exploration well on the Sangaw North Block in Kurdistan.

Drilling and preliminary evaluation is expected to take 180 days.

Sterling is the operator of the block with a 53.33% working interest.

The well will target several prospective Cretaceous and Jurassic-aged reservoirs and has a planned depth of 3,660m.

An independent review gives an estimate of gross prospective oil resources for the Cretaceous interval of 804m barrels.

The well has been designed with the option to drill deeper to 4,160m to test additional Jurassic-aged reservoirs, based on drilling results. "

Fox Davis Broker Note

Reads Kurdistan success fully priced in if I have skim read it right.

Holders may wish to detail read it.

Thanks Poo....he's got the oil price wrong : average of $60 for the whole of 2010, rubbish ! it will be much higher....but the risk is here...I've been saying that if they come up dry, the sp will drop like a stone.....I'm a bit wary and would not dream of buying as many shares as I had with Gulfkeystone where the risk was a lot less.....anyway I'm in and will take a knock if the well is not successful, and in most of these prospective ones...DES,RKH,TRP,MXP. AEX is another and that one I'm in up to my neck....I get the feeling that I'm taking too many big risks and will get my fingers burnt one of these days with minnow oilies.

Don't think it will come up dry rf, I also took too may risks but when one comes in............!
