Rickierich. My comment was in no way 'deramping' neither did it have any other ulterior motive other than to suggest you read the last 12m news about the company you are either invested in or thinking about investing in and then work out why your post was entirely the wrong question to ask. The likelihood of any drilling happening in the next 6m is quite small, tiny but possible. You may have gleaned from the other posts that the next piece of news to which I alluded was the obtaining and completion of a license acquisition and nothing to do with drilling. Currently none of the pending 'deals' are over the line, some are probably more than others but unless they have somewhere to drill, there wont be any drilling-- simples. If/when they manage to close any of these deals which will then open the door for some field work, they will still be a long long way off from drilling anything, hence my 6m comment, however, closing a deal will have a material effect on the share price, therefore if your question was 'when is the SP likely to increase?' you may have got a different answer =i.e. If/when they finalise one of the acquisitions then there is likely to be a bit of excitement and depending upon which deal it is, the SP will react accordingly. And then when that happens, take any profits you have made and think about what the next piece of news might be. Currently, the only asset they own is in Italy and it chucks out some gas and some associated condensate for which they get a bit of cash. No drilling planned for Italy. If the Tunisia deal is approved then the production from there will be payable to Zenith from the date they struck the deal which I think was about April 20. Its not complete and therefore they don't officially 'own' the license because it is waiting approval and so far as I know, they cannot monetise the production until approval but if they get it then they will receive the back log of production apportioned to them relevant to their share of the licence. It is therefore something of a waiting game and a decision that you would need to make as to whether you believe that any of the deals will complete and thus whether there is likely to be any drilling.
