lots of irons in the fire and it is envisioned (Linda Cooks words) they will be taking things slowly this year whilst they continue to align and embed the business units and gear up for their intended FTSE main market listing in September.
the 2 projects mentioned with most interest here were
Zama - review is at an advanced stage and targeting FID approval sometime during 2021
Sea Lion - early days in the review process but it is ongoing as part of their prioritising CAPEX expenditure for next couple of years but any FID decision is unlikely to occur this year.
a general comment (again from Linda Cook) on capital allocation - its only day one of the enlarged company so there are still many variables that are unknown (SP, POO, Covid, etc) that will effect any capital decisions in both the short term and long but they are looking at months rather than weeks before any final decisions are made on capital distribution and any priorities.
I'm sure the FI picture will be a whole lot clearer later on in the year once things are settled down and bedded in.
in the meantime Sam & Stu better hope the Italians pay up big and soon or else they might be putting the hat round for a contribution towards their excessive annual packages.
