It's a good short term trade from current SP for the monthly production figures, but in the medium term it's all on Indico-1. If Indico-1 is disapointing then where is the recovery in production coming from? Don't think Put-8 will be enough to plug the gap of declining production from platanillo, if it even happens this year, we have heard nothing on that front, and there are issues with indigenous communities on Put-12. N-Sands has completely screwed up the recovery and production plan, and nobody (including me) saw it coming. We all thought the 3 well programme there would be sucessful and immediately raise production back up to where it was before. Plenty of other oilers out there offering better upside than here on the basis of a binary bet on a single drill... The company is currently making a lot of money but production on platanillo is declining and over the last 12 months the board have shown absolute incompetence in rectifying it. They have only managed one drill all year, and it was a duster on a prodiucing field, they wasted almost a month on a workover which didn't actually result in any increase from the well. They also have absolutely no idea where to drill next, and by the time they put another plan together it will be 2019 and production will have continued dropping off. If Indico-1 has a good result everything will be peachy, but after the N-Sands fuck up I don't think anyone should assume the result is a foregone conclusion.
