RE: RNS LO 16/20 to 15yr FEL7 Aug 2019 11:21
What is there to be suspicious of? The farm in deal is for a commitment to drill three very expensive wells , two of which are in to prospects similar to Iolar. If Iolar doesn't prove up the play and the major concerned is either CNOOC or Exxon Mobil then it would have been prudent for them to wait until the Iolar results are known. In addition there has been the on going saga of the Climate Action Bill going through the Dail since Hugh first announced the potential farm in. The Porcupine assets are now merely bonuses if they come in. Inishkea is the company maker and this morning's RNS confirms yet again that the prospect is clearly of interest to several companies. As an aside - in case any have forgotten - Cairn farmed into one of our Porcupine licences a while ago and are now targeting an Irish well in 2021 (from their annual results). If I can sell my house while the SP is this low the money is all going on EOG!
