Hello all.
I'm a QFI noob, having invested last week.
I've read the recent RNS and listened to October's presentation and Q&A.
The company value is, it seems to me, largely tied to the IP and so these proof of concept trials for customers seem to be the silver bullet for both market awareness, new business wins and material growth in value.
Alternatively, if it is not, then the company is overvalued!
But comparisons to other IP-based hype stocks over the years (EVRH springs to mind, SYME, even CTAG. Oilers often valued over £100M with just the potential of a find) with no/limited revenue and loss-making, a valuation £150M+ is achievable fairly quickly. Indeed I believe QFI was once valued around this mark.
So, I'm quite excited by the potential here.
Anyway, ramble over. Question time.
With the Utah project, my limited understanding is that the company first need to get their hands on the shale in order to assess it for MRSA-compatibility. However, from everything I've heard, plans seem to be well underway based upon the assumption that it is. Is that just normal business practice? Or is it just a foregone conclusion that the oil will be green-lit?
Assuming all goes well, are they looking to conduct a similar small-scale trial to that in Morocco?
Many Thanks,
ATG
