Jiddy Most posters/readers can work it out, may be invested now, may be not! just ain't worth the headache. Interestingly despite constantly questioning others transparency and motives still not seen that list of monikers and doubt ever will for the reason you previously gave.
See GMT exploration have taken an interest in some of Repsol's leases on the Nanushuk, just 392345/392346 for the moment sometimes wonder why and for what some of these transactions are made, after all Repsol are not short of cash.
Bit odd a lot more buys but can the MMs let it rise back to start of the day or are they content to just make money from those whose who sold at the bottom and those wanting to get in. Not sure if any big buyers in background. last 20 trades 75% buys (11:34), very surprised at the UK oiler, though they would have a bit of a run but do not know much about it.
NPRA but probably the reason that ANWR will sail through, greens in Boston do not like it but for the indigenous populations money talks and it is their views that are increasingly paramount.
Jiddy was always going to be that way, same as on any share if traders sense an opportunity they will exploit it, as mikemike said not an ideal CR window, but all could be very different in 3months time.
The fact that ASCR is partnering Oil Search and Oil Seach have intimated "seismic acquisition or drilling" their words not mine on Greater Grizzly during winter 2020 which could butt up to AEA / ASCR may indicate that we may just become part of a bigger programme after all COP has the 3D from the Bear (greater Grizzly) 3D Survey and we have the modern 3D to the East with a max 6 mile gap.

Now looks bad but don't write off our chances yet.
mikemike our permits are in place in essence an would require only mods as necessary, unlikely that any one firmly commits to rigs and major equipment until permits approved (per eegbvi) so perhaps a fast strike is not impossible, although DW did state that the companies he is talking to would invariably want to do there own due diligence before drilling. I think 2020. :-(
