They can only be referring to the original "firm budget" is my guess BG. The one that stands till the AEX/Zubair farmout is completed and they can progress on the 3D and drill.
"The firm approved budget for 2020 is US$1.447 million (gross), principally relating to licence maintenance and planning activity."
They certainly do not have $10 mill for 3D and drilling as per below
The Operator has previously announced an estimate of $40m for the work programme, which would imply an expenditure amount US$10 million for Solo's 25% interest over the work programme period, which will extend into 2021. The JV partners are evaluating the cost of the work programme in light of current market conditions and expect the near-term programme to be delivered at significant savings to previous estimates. The Company further notes that the Operator has already performed many pre-drilling and pre-seismic technical planning and contractual acquisition activities.
