As I've stated before, Turkey will soon announce that they have made a HUGE discovery of OIL & GAS in the northern coast of Cyprus, most probably the biggest the world have ever seen, even with or without a new engine or any advanced technology equipment for the "old girl" Piri Reis. This will be in part to fool the TCs in Cyprus and for them to save face in Turkey, and, to appear to have equal hand in a game of poker with the RoC, in trying to negotiate some kind of a deal on Cyprus's Natural Resources, much like what Eroglu comically tried to do with the UN few days ago. The only problem will be, while the RoC will have hard facts and figures on Gas & Oil contents from the drilling in "Block12", Turkey will keep her facts and figures on "discovered Oil & Gas" a secret, in the hopes to make a bluff in negotiating with the RoC with nothing but a pair of Deuces in her hand!

So Mad Dog Erdogan sends an ex-Dredger with a Fish-Finder running on a Dodgy Engine in a geological stab in the dark ... laughable. Deffo for internal consumption and the usual dim-wits watching state television will fall for the scam in their millions. Doubtless Pres X will be one of the fools.

Anyway by contrast the exploration in the southern waters has been based on decent prospective geology, the nearby Israeli finds and backed up by state of the art 3-D seismological data, which Noble has bought for some millions of dollars and who are now spending a massive amount in exploratory test drilling.

Oh and this is what it would have cost to run one of Noble's floating rigs back in 2009...

"...Noble: It is the third largest offshore oil exploration and production company with presence in India, Mexico, Brazil, Middle East and West Africa. It has 63 drilling units (13 semi submersibles, 44 jack-ups and three submersibles). The day rate was $83,417 in 2006 and $164,000 in 2009 (by comparison average day-rates for Noble's international fleet was $60,922 in 2005 and $83,417 in 2006)... "

Yes Bill, the mighty, super rich Turkey could not even afford the VAT on it's own customs to release the engine FFS. Are these people for real, I mean seriously. Are they really expecting the international community to believe such crap?? I know some morons on this site might, but pleaseeeeee!

Oh well, time will tell, I am pissed off that our own politicians are not making the most of these micky mouse decisions to highlight the utter stupidity of turkeys actions and get them ridiculed worldwide.

Where's VP when you need her, I would like to rub her ugly face in this one.

VP last seen taking to the lifeboats on the Piri Reis.

Yes and quite mate, and not just politicians, ... why aren't the media picking up and asking questions of the huge difficulties and expense of prospecting for oil/gas?

... and doubtless, as Kikapu says above, in a few days/weeks time Mad Dog Erdogan will announce promising results of the scrape along the sea-bed of the "we have found oil!" type.... we can see it coming... LoL

Except, Erdogan may want to rub it in a bit and use an Ancient Greek word instead, by yelling out loud, "Eureka, Eureka, Eureka"!!

[Get Real!]

The man is so immature he’s capable of emptying a dozen barrels of crude oil and then pump it out on camera just to prove a point!

This reminds me of a true story in a Cypriot paper in the 80s, when someone poured crude oil in different places all over his land and then lightly covered it with earth so that when the potential buyer walked through and stepped into the sludge he pretended to be dumbfounded by all this “black stuff” coming out the earth and offered a small discount to “clean up” from the exorbitant price! The idiot fell for it and later went to court complaining he got ripped off.
