PUT 8 GTE & AMER 1st JVD, Oil18 Mar 2019 21:01
GYE acquired Vetra 20th Feb Quote - 50% WI in and operatorship of the Putumayo-8 Block ("PUT-8"), which is contiguous with Suroriente and Gran Tierra's PUT-31 Block (100% WI). The Transactions related to Suroriente are expected to be closed immediately following the Transactions related to Vetra Southeast, at which time SIC will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Gran Tierra. The Transactions related to PUT-8 are subject to a right of first refusal. Be interesting to see how Put 8 development plays out. They can drill it from Sur Oriente in the South or drill the Northern targets from Plat. News should be a driver. Last point, I've never heard of any military power being green on fossil fuels in combat, nor planes. China are amassing huge Strategic reserves of Oil to guarantee public order for decades. Climate change is key, however this is not a 10-15 year fix, the world needs to have viable proven alternative options first, the transitional of global investment patterns will change over time. However the +4bn population of the BRIC economies are not yet developed enough to foster that transition quickly, they will when ready but not now. The opposite in fact they need more Oil to consume as Investment collateral which will fuel the energy change - 2035. Then take the $400bn min not invested in E & P, all Oil majors have been collapsing the future supply chain capacity by not investing to rebalance the 5-10 global forecast, except Shale, the Drill without a Brain. The world cannot trade its way out of climate change unless it puts Oil first, use the resource to support investment in other technologies, a solar panel can't walk, it needs transport and manufacturing processes driven by the utilisation of oil, just as coal supported the world economy, took decades to switch use, but the transition happened. Unlike coal Oil is an extremely versatile resource when utilised in the Chemical industries. End GL GLA World demand for Oil will increase next 10 years, IMO DYOR, Key example is KA, will plan to use Oil to become green !!FFS 2035
