Hi Peter
The NHNL PDF certainly states that it was down to lock of financial ability on ADME - a fact that could easily be attributed to DBI considering this was the primary source of funds for this project, if we lost the contract due to not been able to fulfil a contractual payment from a 3rd party (assume CALABAR CAPITAL), we should have really had something concrete that we didn't buy into KONH until that had been fulfilled so we couldn't end up in a position like this, or was it a fact that ADME had to buy KONH first, that then had to complete on the NHNL contract but then DBI never had the funds and our exclusivity agreement was there revoked?
There are lots of uncertain issues, why are ADME working with Emerald Energy on Barracuda - as far as i can see, they held the license but it was revoked in 2019 - but NHNL PDF states that the license is held with Emerald Energy and NHNL are the exclusive service provider for Barracuda, which cause more confusion as to do NHNL have any legal right to the contract if there agreement is with Emerald Energy who had the license revoked - Emerald Energy website looks like it hasn't been updated 2 years
So a real big question - who actually owns the license to Barracuda (officially as per any Nigerian Government documentation)
I haven't located anything that the license has been passed to any third party, or Emerald went to court and got it back
So many question, no answers, a lot of speculation, just move onto AJE - its prospects look very promising
