DrPatience Re "Also, if it was a done deal that NS is dead, then surely Shell would not waste around $65-70 million drilling Selene and Pensacola (their share)."
The deal with Shell and Deltic is years old and was signed during an advantageous political era.
As the times have changed, there is a chance shell forfeit the drilling, but dont worry, because even if this occurs, the directors here will come out with a statement like "Weve been awarded a licence for the largest find in recent years", and everybody here will be back in ramp mode.

I disagree, The directors wont get any friction from shareholders, infact the opposite.
Deltics investor base is loaded with gullible retail investors who come out with stuff like "if I can prevent dilution, I shall throw last years savings into Deltics fund raising, and thus lower ones average."
The Directors are not held responsible in anyway, look at the title of the below post of peterlowen,
"North Sea exploration star"... The actual news title of the article is North sea firm... but as you can see, the investors here are blinded by their own wishful thinking... Deltic is FAR from a star.
A more accurate title "Useless North Sea company that's been Exploring for over 8 years has now focused solely on blaming the Labour party for there blunder streak"
The lesson with this share and many others on AIM, Most Exploration companies are a waste of time, they are a bad investment.
