Raise expected and a positive sign1 Aug 2019 09:18
Whilst nearly all raises are frustrating as it dilutes current holdings, in this case I feel that it is a sign of ZEN trying to drop the previous reputation. ZEN has always been run on a shoestring and the recent change in strategy to own a rig is a rarity amongst small O&G companies. Most LTHs have been pleased with this change, also with the fact that additional spare parts have been ordered plus a top drive to be more efficient and safer, two very important factors. All of this comes at a cost and for ZEN that means raises to pay for it.
I for one, whilst annoyed see this as a necessary evil of ZEN is to be taken seriously and deliver the transformational news that we have all been waiting for.
