We are in this together...one can debate..no point arguing...both camps can be right...I hve already pointed out what I think...and that is...jv partner can come anytime...we are not obliged to take up or forever wait for parties 2 and 3 make their proposals...following is the tns abstract..
"We have now received a proposal for financing of NJOM-3 via a farm-out of a minority position, from a substantial upstream company with existing production. We are in discussions with this party about the details of their proposal, however we can say that, provided discussions conclude positively, this proposal should provide sufficient funds to drill the NJOM-3 well - we had received a draft proposal from another party last year, but only for a portion of the funds required. While there are multiple other parties who have expressed interest in partnering with us, there are two other parties in particular who have undertaken substantial due diligence on the project over the past few months, and we are also expecting a proposal from at least one of these companies. Our intention is to conclude a transaction as soon as possible."...
2 things here...one.. they are already talking to party 1...these talks can conclude anytime providing both sets and happy...my take JA is pushing for some extras...he might or might not get this from party 1...dont forget party 1 is not obliged to stick around forever they can easily walk away...
Imo the point which most of us are getting confused with is this bit
"and we are also expecting a proposal from at least one of these companies"
These two parties have been doing their dd for few mths..repeat few mths not wks..we have not been given deadline for their proposals to be submitted....imo...just my opinion..if ja expects a proposal from these parties that does not mean he will get it...we hope we get one it's not guaranteed that we will...
The last sentence is telling.. "Our intention is to conclude a transaction as soon as possible."...
Bottom line is there is no definitive answer imo...if party 2 / 3 were to make proposals..then it might take another few weeks...that doesn't mean to say proposals might not already be on table...
It's good point to be debating about...atleast we have possibly 3 parties interested...what's not to like....its taken something like 10yrs to get to this point...so healthy position to be in...
Only folks this might be a problem for is those who are trading trp..as long it's all positive I will take it Mon or anytime in Nov...
This debate regarding jv partner can easily be applied to rig contract...many think it's vali..yet vali isn't mentioned at all in rns...but they do mention " but there are now more rig alternatives available to us."..implying there is more than one option outthere"
It's not about who's right or who's wrong..it's about getting this njom3 drill over the line and pudding it after 10 or so yrs
HAPPY DAYS
