We hear a few posters telling us this is a lifestyle company, utter rubbish, MH bought Santa Cruz late 2019, SC was at the time a group of 5 oilfields all mature and run down, months after the SC purchase Covid hit the world, like most oil companies we had to throttle back production, like many oil companies we ran into financial difficulties, debts to pay and less oil and gas wanted by the market, since the Argentine opened its borders early in 2021 we have been in a constant state of upgrading the surface equipment in Santa Cruz, these surface works are a must if we intend increasing production, we are at the end of these surface upgrades and now entering the exciting part where we bring back into production 30 previously shut in wells, then we have numerous wells that require workover, followed by Campo Limite which was put on hold April 2020 due to covid and no doubt the financial constraints Covid brought with it.
The recent debt for equity deal, debts due 2032 and decreased interest rate does mean several billion more shares but it also means we have cash to spare on increasing production.
We are building a new company with a new future, seems its taking too long for some investors and some posters that are not invested.
My thoughts are that by 2024 we will be approaching 50 million a year turnover, happy to wait and in for the end result, seems others want a quick result but that will not happen.
