The bid is back to 9.5p. So why is that and why is it not at least double that as so many have promised so many times.
Firstly I would say that although 103C found oil at all levels, the big disappointment is the lack of production from this well from the Djeno. They spent way over double the estimated budget on this well and the duff equipment has prevented them reaching the lower sands of the Djeno and so we now have to produce from R and Menjo layers.
So this is a good plan B but as we are told the drop off flow rate is quite dramatic after about 18 months to approx 400 BOPD which if things stay the same will only give AAOG 224 BOPD. In the mean time no mention of 101/102 injection plan , a plan that my or may not work so they only produce 30-40 BOPD at the mo.
Whilst we wait for the fracking equipment planned early April but if early is the same as early March CPR we continue with expenditure on a daily basis far exceeding income and any monies repaid by our partners will be eaten up.
The much hoped for CPR should be a welcome boost as long as it reveals what everyone is banking on as any short fall will not be well received and to those that believed early March let that be a reality check about every single thing this company says is never on time.
The license renewal is probably as important as anything as without it you could have a billion barrels but with no license you can't get it out. I believe it will come but I don't think it will be as soon as many expect.
Finally 104 is now the well with everything riding on it, if they fail to produce from the Djeno from this well, i think the long term rewards just won't be there. The chances are good for this well but the company will need more money for this and this along with the above mentioned is why at this very moment we can't break out of this 9.5 - 10.5 range.
