RE: CUDA purchase no brainer9 Mar 2022 17:26
Over the last 2 days this has moved up from the low 30s, great if we can go back up from here, COPL is never going to go straight up from these levels without news . Cuda is approaching in the next few trading days, that will set the strategy for 2022. Either way we have the best discovery to fund and drill, Cuda won’t pay for that if we want to be producing significant amounts of oil in the near tetm. With the right strategy this could move to a 20k bpd operation by the end of the year and more than double that in 2023. Personally I don’t think we got Cuda and if we did we would be very lucky. The sale process was going through just as the significance of the play was being recognised by the wider oilers. If someone else gets a small percentage of our play for a lot of money then this will have valuation implications for our 50+% and wider acreage. With some cash we can then get a farm in and not give too much away. But overall Cuda in the bag is best for us. Just a few more day, nice buys going through, weak holders and traders getting out at 38p not much of a surprise.
