· Preparations are being finalised for completion of the Heron 1 well and the contractor has indicated that it "should" be ready to mobilise in July.
But previously.. Said P China had booked DQE from July ?
No need to raise funds may change, new contract
===========================================
The Company was in discussion with DQE Drilling (DQE), the main provider of drilling services in Mongolia for a multi-well development drilling and completion programme and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2023. THE TERMS INCLUDED SOME DEFERRAL OF COSTS TO ALLOW A PORTION OF THE DRILLING EXPENDITURE TO BE SETTLED FROM FUTURE PRODUCTION REVENUE.
HOWEVER, Mrpam Insisted That Current Regulations Do Not Cater For Multi-Year Contracting And Accordingly The Company Has Concluded A Tender Inviting All Potential Contractors To Bid On Drilling On Block Xx. DQE was the lowest bidder and has been chosen to do the work.
FINAL CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS ARE UNDERWAY AND THE COMPANY WILL SEEK TO INCORPORATE THE TERMS OF THE PREVIOUS MOU WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE CURRENT REGULATIONS.
DQE are going to busy with P China from July, so unless DQE are at Heron working away its look like there will be a delay,,, so could drift either way for now.
If it goes into 2025 thats another years worth of costs to cover
