Farm Out News13 May 2019 12:22
Working backwards from the most recent comms below, when would we need to have an agreement signed so that we can get the permits/contracts in place for a 2020 appraisal well? That has got to be the hard deadline.
Subject to the negotiation of terms and conditions, the Conventional portfolio farm-out deal is targeted in Q2 2019, with the intention to drill an exploration / appraisal well in 2020
Another thought re farm out, the big players already in the area seem quite well set up in terms of acreage and drilling oppotunities, I'm thinking ConocoPhillips, Repsol, Exxon and Oil Search.
However the 3d programme just completed by BP indicates they are open to exploration in new areas. My feeling now is that it will either be BP or a new player to an exciting region. Fingers crossed and all that.
