The CPR changes nothing!
UKOG do not have the cash to drill Loxley!
It will be £5million to drill and test.
Then they will need planning for production = 3+ years of red tape and treackle.
Then they will need £12million for production kit.
It's quite plain really, UKOG will not get a partner for Loxley, the ROI is dreadful. Who would want to spend £5m on drill and test to then wait 3+ years to get production approvals only to then need to spend another minimum of £12million on production kit.
There's nobody out there going to be interested in that.
Also the figures used for gas value are over-inflated, in 5 years time (and that is as soon as production could ever commence) the price of gas will be considerably lower than the figures quoted!
But the CEO, SS will not be bothered, he's just had a lovely spike with volume and that usually means some forward selling of placing shares, after all, they don't have enough to drill anything other than a seep well in Turkey.
SP will dip to sub 0.05p when placing lands.
