"If there’s an asset, you can borrow against that rather than diluting your equity value. Its alway better to use debt than equity"
You can, but they are still a good distance from that. There's a difference between probable and proven reserves (and we aren't there yet). If there is proof of discovery then the reserve still remains contingent on subsequent development. They 'may' get enough data from the well to evidence volumetric probability and they will be trying to get some indication of performance from the open hole testing, but I suspect they will still need to raise in the interim. But we'll see.
