I attended the AGM this morning as I had mentioned I would a few weeks ago. It was a fairly low key affair with only myself and another 3 private shareholders in attendance. It was as expected quite a positive meeting and great to hear some things clarified from the "horses mouth" so to speak. You can see from the presentation that topics covered, for me the main things I was very happy to have clarified were that the wells are performing well and as expected with NO water or gas issues. The company is fully funded in the phase to 55k bopd which should be a relatively straight forward process as everything has been "done before". There are no issues with the ESPs, they can be installed easily and as standard. Some people across the blogs have mooted various issues with the wells, water issues and ESPS, this is not the case according to the experts on the board. They seem well prepared to move ahead with the move to 55k asap and the developement of the next FDP is underway as well as negotiations with the MNR and MOL regarding the amended PSC which should be concluded in Q3. I left feeling quite positive and think that the next 6-9 months could be quite an exciting time for this "boring" oil company. The pipeline tie in is expected to reduce costs by about 1 dollar per barrell also which will also be good news with PF2 being hooked up in the coming months and PF1 next year. So all in all quite a positive agm in my opinion, good to see the team in action and also clear up some of the crap being claimed around the boards. Best of luck everyone and hopefully this is only the beginning of the recovery.
