RE: Expectations on EL26 Nov 2020 15:51
The EL is not only massive for PM & us PI's it's also massive for the government - they have hugely invested in an oil refinery so need to get this right so they need to know 100% that PM are able to service this oil refinery - so I would think there are numerous provisos that PM have to come up with before they agree to the EL - obviously they are checking the potential of the existing oil strike - but I would think they would need to know how PM are going to afford to further drill - and wouldn't be surprised if government has some say so in what PM drills - will the gov state they want the raptors drilled in 2021 - JV and who with etc etc before they agree the EL - that's why IMHO - I think PM has everything in place already and am just waiting for the EL to be granted, as mentioned only my opinion - hoping for some good news to make our Xmas
