Hurricane Energy (HUR)

[ReallyVeryFoolish]

The silence is deafening from the new BOD's, I guess their priority remains salvaging their portfolio for future jobs, the new guy looks like the Stoolie he was hired to be, collecting a year or so's severance pay along the way to oblivion.
Im not even sure if the company is tradable at these levels, really sad times for all interested parties past and present, lots of folk ramped this to death and should hang their head in shame............

Dead cat bounce Friday and this morning. As usual, it will be sold into and HUR stock will be back to plumbing the depths around 2p by mid week. An announcement by Blue Water this morning about brown field work on Aoka Mizu. Water injection is rumoured but I think AM will not have the gross fluids handling capacity required and the cost will be prohibitive on such a massively risky prospect as Lancaster anyway.

The rumour mill has been working overtime it seems today at HUR.

Just over a week since my last comment. The stock did get down almost to 2p and has since bounced back up to about 3p. That's 50 per cent in just over a week. Of course, for me 50 per cent of nothing is still nothing and this misadventure remains written off. The whole thing is still likely in death throes. The new broom(s) now in charge trashed the outlook with an extremely brutal RNS and since have stayed pretty much silent. It stinks to high heaven and it'll be a relief of sorts when the venture implodes to nothing.

Continuing to keep half an eye on this one. Another little rally today takes the closing price to 3.6p. There is a shuttle tanker apparently scheduled for the latest cargo off load which is good but likely to be delayed due to weather. The silence from the new management is deafening me.

On the Norwegian side, Robert Arnott's (ex HUR chairman)'s new company appears ready to give the basement play a go:

I wish them well. But I hope they are not blind to what is happening unlike a certain Dr T who, it seems, was detached from what was really happening under his feet.

The vacuum of news from the management of HUR worries me somewhat after the wrecking job of an RNS inflicred a few weeks ago. Taking a quick look at information in the public domain, Navion Oceania left Lancaster yesterday afternoon after off loading Aoka Mizu. Currently heading to Rotterdam with a 10.5m draft. It's being suggested elsewhere that recent production has been a bit north of 13,000 barrels a day. Of course that's not much more than a guess and water cut remains unknown. I really would like the new management to be a bit more forthcoming. Navion Oceania -

The report of brownfield work on the Aoka Mizu was an over egging of the pudding.

Both the work on the Aoka Mizu and the Haewene Brim FPSO, on the Pierce Field awarded to Global was nothing more than the engineering and construction contractor Wood Group being replaced with Global E and C as Wood Group's contract came up for rebid and the work was awarded to an other contractor.

That happens every 3 to 5 years in most cases.

I agree, it was 100 per cent non-news.

Another piece of evidence on how the project could go so wrong. I guess you have to give the previous management some credit for having the cojones to even silence dissenting voices within the OGA. And if that's the attitude towards the OGA, one can only imagine the groupthink going on inside the building.

On the other hand, it seems that Dr T used his influence and his reputation in the industry to prevent a dissenting voice within the regulator being heard. That is not a good thing but obviously suited the wider OGA agenda at the time. And it means critical information that would have better informed the private investor was not made public information.

Hmmm, what just happened to lift the shares 25 per cent?

It's hard to be a comedian on forums My comment was intended tongue-in-cheek.

To be clear, such an act in itself is reproachable, but also suggests an blatant unwillingness to entertain valid downside cases. HUR was not just fighting dogmas and skepticism to get to the EPS financed and approved, but also the unfortunate fact that the fluid samples below structural closure contained only traces of oil (as per the September 2020 presentation). This and other data invalidating the reference model was not given weight, even though it is evident that such challenges were brought forward by the OGA and prospective partners. This leaves willfull ignorance or incompetence as the options. I am not sure if it even goes into criminal negligence/misleading statement territory, the bar is probably very high for this on subsurface projects, but others with more experience may comment on this.

Thank you FB, your input is highly appreciated, by me at least.

I have seen companies do some really 'interesting' things with well tests and suchlike data. The most relevant funnily enough on water influx via fractures (on another field) !

I rather suspect that HUR board are very keen to keep a low profile and let time pass in the hope that nobody explores legal pathways regarding data released to shareholders.

Once again, odd share price movements.

Depends on how one interprets the role of the OGA. I don't think they are there to protect investors, but to maximise the tax take for the UK before the whole UKCS is forced to shut down by the decarbonizing religion. Maximising the tax take means encouraging new ideas and concepts, just as long as they are entirely privately funded. The people who produced the CPR can be criticized, but I think Pye has gone a bit ultra vires.

Question for dspp, do you think drilling another well in lancaster will happen and if so where would you drill it?
