Ocelot,
Part the problem with what they say and what the actually do is that they have been producing for 18 months now, and from what they have stated so far, they have ONLY managed to reduce the mercuria £12m debt by half, they have barely touched Forrestgate debt, and couldn't even massage enough to pay down the smaller £3m payday loan, and that was with healthier gas prices to play with.
I cannot be bothered to tot up exactly how much revenue they have brought in over the 18 months, but to still be sitting on a debt mountain that is going to swallow much of the Trafigura finance, makes the whole thing smell badly.
Add that to ALL the placings, resulting in around a further 3.6 billion shares issued, then I find it hard to see how they are suddenly going to bring handsome rewards to shareholders, maybe to themselves though !!!
They certainly won't have any spare cash for the 12 month Trafigura non payment window as ALL that revenue will be needed to complete the works needed as SLBY over the same period, and that is still only likely to "maintain" current production levels.
