Very good pupper
Seamus, that would have been and is a great entry point. It is only the judicial review that is holding this back at this point.
Once the drill starts turning in around 10days things will change quickly
Ibiza, I land back in the Bahamas today. I will see what the turnout is like and maybe get the megaphone out.
Titan I live in the Bahamas, my wife and kids are Bahamian. I completely agree with your points regarding the condescending way in which the arguments are put across by some.
The fact is that we need this oil success and everyone needs to know what the extent of the potential oil find is and exactly what the deal is for the entire area. This along with a solid financial projection of the revenue generated for the Bahamas should allow everyone to make an educated decision.
It would be a terrible shame for this drill to be disturbed after over 100 mil spent and then the Bahamas still don’t know if oil is present and in what quantity.
Meant to be 20 years in the first message
The last government loan was 600 million at 10%. You are saying that the billions from oil revenue are not needed?
Titan the $5 billion is only the start. That is the income form the initial find. Potentially is is 5 or more times that.
Let’s use the $25 billion number over 2 years. That would get rid of the national debt and create a substantial sovereign wealth fund for the future generations.
The fact is that drilling is very safe and drilling is going on by Cuba only a few miles from the proposed drill site.
The risk is already in the area. The Bahamas is just got the risk without any benefit. Why not find out if the resources are there and do the maths then make a decision.
Offerman, holding 21.5 mil now, didn’t get the additional 3.5 at 2.40 but happy where I am at.
Oaber, the Brexit situation could have major effects on British manufacturing including cars. A no deal would automatically mean an extra 10% would have to be added to cars exported using WTO rates.
This could cause major issues. The drop today is probably down to Boris.
Stepup, no I didn’t just 500,000 was traded at the 2.4. Trying again today but I also hope that level is behind us.

Very true, I assume supply boats can come along side with equipment to lift. I hope they go direct.
BPC had stockpiled equipment in Houston. These are not small items that would be flown down on helicopters.
Unfortunately I think they will have to stop at Freeport but I am sure they will make it as brief as possible.
Good spot on the engines. Another good move, they need to be able to differentiate especially when in the same market (Mercedes GT vs Vantage)
I think as Mercedes slow down on the ICE units Aston will benefit due to the small production laws under 10,000 units.
Freeport is a long way from the main population of Nassau. You won’t find many if any would make that trip to protest.
The route to the drill site from Freeport will likely take them to the west of Bimini so they will not come close to any large Bahamian population.
I wouldn’t worry about that.
The important part regarding the Bahamian government.
“ CEO Simon Potter said: “BPC will vigorously oppose the application, and we understand that the government of The Bahamas will be doing likewise. BPC’s drilling plans have been public knowledge for almost a decade, and the government provided environmental authorization to BPC in February 2020, following an extensive program of work.”
Party on the Yacht in the Bahamas more like
The Bahamas and the people may have a few differing views however they will not pass up an opportunity of a free $5 billion+ (in my view could be multiples of) once all the precautions have been taken.
I am confident with Stena and the Icemax so this is sufficient for me to feel that the drill will not be stopped. Always take advantage of the panic.
Just my opinions of course
If the trade gets fully executed then 25 mil
Only 500,000 done so far. Showed as unknown
Just put an order in for another 4 mil at 2.40 let’s see if it gets filled
