Just to bring things back in focus and on subject.
Consider the current spiralling fuel prices, projected to surpass £2.00 per litre soon, driven by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, then contemplate the fact that all the legal claims here are slowly being closed. Now consider the estimated reserves, published some while ago, but still relevant today.
There is now a golden opportunity to bring this company back to market; the combination of supply and demand being met is a golden opportunity, and that metric will sustain for a prolonged period; longer than many here will need and beyond.
I don't doubt the board are also completely aware of this and trust they are making all efforts to ensure Frontera can return to doing what it should be doing, not extracting and refining oil & gas, but finding it and then identifying an appropriate company to undertake the rest. If I remember correctly, the figures we were entertained with suggested reserves equivalent or greater than Shah Deniz field, as operated by BP. Surely, if FRR can convince them, we are on to a winner.
Fingers crossed, this is the plan, but there is currently a perfect storm in the form of this conflict, which has no indication of abating any time soon, although some suggestions indicate August. Certainly seems the Ukrainians have run out of tanks and artillery to destroy and now going after Russian storage depots, so seems things are turning. But the key point is the oil from Russia will not be at our pumps anytime soon, so we need alternatives asap.
BLOE is another example. Currently waiting on news there, but if that is good then clearly that will bode well for FRR and we should feel more confident this can be brought back to market asap. The irony is that we should be trading now, not later, but patience is the key here.
