Stas it’s game over mate sadly. Just like Xcite the bh or in this case the senior loan provider puts the squeeze on the finance and then is given the asset. After which they will be free to sell to whomever they want.
What a total utter mess, this needs investigating big time….
Imho both art and Ryan need to go pronto art has failed abysmally to deliver the jv, Ryan has overseen some of the most dilutive financing deals ever, whilst both trousering 50% pay increases over already inflated salaries
Any potential JV is based on 2 things - carbon capture and deep drill neither of which has been done as yet so how are you saying no one can get oil out?
All copl have done so far is very gently up the injection rate….
As I posted the other day this is not just a good results it’s fantastic if rock get the funds back as it’s at least double what they usually raise in a placing, so well funded.
Considering the equity placing for this was as 0.5p I would say this would be a very nice result for rock and should provide a very nice shot in the arm for the balance sheet.
Required here IMHO to re baseline COPL as a serious investment
GGS successful production rising and further increases expected as injection rate jakked up further
Production at sufficient level to service debt
Closure of JV with cash component to clear some of debt (ideally the bonds, not a big ask only $20 mill which is Xmas party money for the likes of Exxon)
Yup that why it’s imperative we get to a level of production asap where we can service debt.
Must admit whilst I understand they are being cautious with the injection rate it’s frustrating it’s not immediately raised to the old max level of 8 so we can get above 2k bopd asap and stop paying BH in shares for interest payments

Good point Stas
It’s staggering how many people on here think oil fields are developed for free
All fields require capex which is funded by debt. We just need to get our production to over 2k for a start then hopefully if everything is stable increase the injection rate further.
