RE: Jubilee weakness, and GNPC loans3 Oct 2024 10:00
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to interpret their research how they see fit, however this time their article has a smell of panic. You have to question the timing of the article ..... very strange how it happens to be released on the day the share price is up nearly 10% at one point. Then if we look at the opening paragraph it states:
"Tullow Oil’s much vaunted Jubilee field drilling campaign has yet again failed to deliver oil production consistently above 100kbod at that field, with field production languishing below 90kbod in the last quarter. "
Agreed, Jubilee was supposed to be consistently over 100 kbopd, however to state "field production languishing below 90kbod in the last quarter" is rather far fetched given production was 89 (April), 87 (May) and 85.6 (June) bopd in the last quarter or 87.3 bopd for the quarter. Hardly languishing . Yes, this could be see as a downward trend, except for the fact that in July production was 90.5 kbopd and the average for January to July now sitting at 90 kbopd and Tullow have clearly stated this should be maintained for the year.

The rest of the article is the usual regurgitation regarding debt, arbitration, etc. With the share price sitting in the low 20's and current world events, can't see a short position being a good option. Each to their own.
