Thanks to all the contributions it confirms to a basic person like me that I'm on the right share.
A positive RNS must be due soon.
It makes you think why the the Chief Financial Officer of Addax Petroleum , a subsidiary of Sinopec Group the third largest worldwide third & the biggest oil refiner in Asia joined a small O&G company in Nigeria?
If you check Addax's website you'll find that they have a very interesting portfolio of valuable assets in Nigeria:

•OML 124 100% - Operator: Addax Petroleum
OFFSHORE
•OML 123 Working Interest 100% -Operator: Addax Petroleum

The level of China's investment in the continent of Africa has been increasing at a steady rate & Mining and oil remain a primary focus of China's investments. There are three key players taking an almost equal share in the forecasted US$15 billion development and production capital expenditure in Africa’s upstream sector:
1-The China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC)
2-The China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC)
>>>>>>>>>>3-The China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (SINOPEC) <<<<<<<<<<<
Coa Chai, an upstream analyst at data and analytics company GlobalData, says, “Around two-thirds of the spending is in Nigeria, Angola, Uganda and Mozambique. SINOPEC and CNOOC are well established in Nigeria and Angola, while CNPC has a stake in the Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique.”
One of China's largest trade partners is Africa's largest oil producing nation, Nigeria. Nigeria currently pumps 2 million barrels of oil a day and has a goal of producing 3 million barrels per day by 2023. As China’s domestic oil production continues to decline, experts predict that in the next 15 years up to 80% of China’s crude oil supply will be imported.
Back in November 2018 the 3D seismic acquisition and processing operations undertaken by Sinopec at Otakikpo
was completed to optimise the planned Phase Two development. First Bank Nigeria Plc issued a guarantee on behalf of Otakikpo Joint Operation (LEKOIL and GEIL) in favour of SINOPEC towards the release of final report on the 3D seismic data acquired from the Otakikpo marginal field. The obligation on the SINOPEC contract was fully settled in January 2019 and guarantee withdrawn.
They Chinese have good presence in Nigeria for and I do believe they had their eyes on LekOil for quite long time. They are known for being pragmatic when it comes to business so I think Sinopec tested the water with LekOil in Otakikpo's 3D seismic acquisition and processing operations contract. They liked company and waited for the best opportunity to potentially take over the company while the share price is on its knees.
I do believe there is alot going in the background & appointing Edward During Addax Petroleum's CFO for the past 10 years as the new CFO of LeKoil is to conduct pre-acquisition due diligence from within "the seller's" business.
New CFO
New non execs
Cargo lift X million due
311 increased output , JV major , increased cash flow
New asset management system
310 farm in partner
2020 spud 310
Funding
325 potential
Increased comms
Recovery play in under way, ignore the noise and 10% day swings , long game .....
That's a start, just need a new CEO next. So, it was the Lekoil employees that donated not the cash strapped company I hope ?
Great news, hope I can get a few more on the cheap tomorrow

I am expecting a lot this year from the newly appointed BOD, those directors are experienced & very well connected in the O&G sector.. 2020 will be a transformational year for LekOil !
well if this is the case, we SHOULD expect an RNS in the coming week.
