Willec this is why I like this merger. I have not have confidence in BPC to be able to follow through and actually drill the oil. I don’t think they had sufficient skill and understanding to physically get it done.
The oil is undoubtedly in the ground. The reason I have invested in CERP is because Leo knows how to get over the finish line and that is what BPC need at this time.
Leo will bring the drilling team that was already announced a few weeks back (I am sure under the guidance of Leo) and oversee the drill in January.
This is the first time in the 10 years watching BPL that I can see it actually happening.
The other reason I invested here was because if it doesn’t happen we still have some potential with a stronger oil price.
Leo put this all in motion when the oil price was at $20 and every person would have said it was likely to stay below $35 for the next 2 years. This would have made CERP’s assets almost worthless.
This low oil price has recovered much quicker than expected and it seems it will be in most people’s interest to keep it that way.
Leo specified his feasibility study on the CERP assets was at $45 and that has been a low average over many years. This makes CERP viable again if this does fall through.
We would be crazy not to go after the big money shot that has presented itself. I have said before I think BPC would have been happy to take LEO without the merger but he is bringing us along for the ride.
