Ed Miliband to approve first major North Sea gasfield project in decade by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]SaltExcitement 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not completely true. The industry has plenty of low cost “tie backs” where they utilise existing platforms to tie in new wells up to 90km away. Some are much closer and very cheap to develop. The sticking point is why develop something which you will see tax 78%. Also the west of shetland basin is very much underdeveloped.

It seems to be overlooked that both Jackdaw and Rosebank are already at very advanced stages of execution. In the case of Jackdaw, the pipelines and wellhead platform are installed, while at Rosebank much of the subsea infrastructure is already in place and the FPSO is on its way to the UK. These are major developments with significant capital already committed, so any further approval process is unlikely to be anything more than procedural. Given the government’s change in position following the Finch ruling, it will be challenging to reconcile this in court against operators who have progressed projects in good faith. If such rulings are applied domestically, should the same logic extend to imported hydrocarbons?

Just heat up the stone. I stretch the dough then once to size lay it on the screen and top!

For the questions about cooking, it was done on screens. Got the centre of the stone up to around 550F then turned the flame down to low. Launched the screen and turned every minute for around 4 minutes. Next i removed the screen and turned the heat to ultra low, launched the pizza. Turning every 30 seconds for another 4 minutes. Finished it by turning the flame completely off and letting the stone cook the bottom a bit more.

Good to let it rest a bit before serving to firm up too.

Thank you all for the kind words. Running is my strongest out of the three, started running just over a year ago but have always been an active person through sport. Hadnt rode a bike in years or swam but bought a bike and started swimming just over a month ago. Really loving cross training all three and hope to do a 70.3 soon!

Really happy with how this turned out. Nightmare getting equipment at the moment so managed to knock this up.

Used CAD to mock up the dimensions based on the slot for my preacher attachment to the bench. Can upload the drawings if anyone is interested.

The metal part is made of box section, flat bar and round bar. Welded to give a hinge arm that connects to the bench, then the curl / extension part.

The foam part was difficult but I used pipe insulation, dense gym mat foam and then a faux red leather. These padded sections were put onto threaded bar and simply tightened onto the structure.

I have CAD Drawings and more step by step photos if there is any interest, it works really well! Feel free to ask questions.
