Dear Sir,
I truly admire your conviction and motivation to help the CEO and Board. There have been very rare occasions of similar shareholder help. I genuinely wish you all the best.
Realism though, must take a place here. No current oil and gas company wants a play in the Falklands. We all know the reasons why.
I truly doubt we will see oil from the Falklands in the next decade. Perhaps never.
It pains me to write this, as I was one of the early RKH investors pre the Desire Liz well. I actually discussed the Shell logs and cores with OilBrat way before Rockhopper’s first well spud. The good old Llandudno days ! Dreams of a new frontier …
Everyone to their own opinion, but in my view Rockhopper is dead in the water, OM result or not.
It’s very sad but that’s life.
Good luck to you. I hope you can make a difference. I can see you have given much time and energy to this.
Sam’s an easy target. I met him a few times. He’s an engaging, friendly chap but unfortunately the job has been beyond his skills set. I have no doubt he is incentizived enough - just look at his shareholding, albeit at 5p a share. It needed a very savvy, commercially minded CEO to get the job done, not a likable chap who had little oil and gas experience.
I for one, under estimated the Argentina shadow. Sealion and to more extent Isabelle are world class fields. The geology is great, reserves plentiful. Yes the location is remote and the water not shallow.
Exxon Guyana could have been Rockhopper Falklands but that is not the case.
The game is up here I am afraid. Goodnight, Au revoir. Alf wiedersehen. .
It’s a case of what might have been.
Here comes the sun !
