Whilst the CompactGTL JV announcement yesterday may now give the Phd engineers in EQT something to do with their days, does this mean EQT will be looking to develop a new GTL site as a MDC, will this be italy/Croatia/North Fork version 2 ? will the idiot Palumbo be forced into massive investments into this plant the company can't afford, will this be another 5 year pipe dream that just drains cash and ends up a writedown? How does this fit into the great "pivot" strategy?
Palumbo and JV Liar still haven't learnt the concept of consolidation, they have brought the company to the brink of collapse with their mismanagement, are they embarking on round 2?
I thought the "Strategy" was now to partner with established well funded partners not some minnow that has failed to commercialise its product for over 10 years?
Unlikely any funder will stump up £60M for an unproven platform without the supplying companies making major commitments themselves, and where does EQT get any cash to make such commitment?
Yesterday's news from Italy was great on the face of it but that plant is still not wiping its own face regarding running costs and the interest on the loan will need to be paid.
Interested to wait now for the full year results, surely if they can't meet even the adjusted figures the BoD must be shaken up with at least Palumbo getting the chop, JV Liar is just a liability now, everyone sees him for what he is, just a plain old bulls hitter!
Pipeline of pipelines is all well and good, but eventually something has to come out of the end of the pipe that will pay bills
