bullson as usual a fair and balanced appraisal of where we are, much of which I agree. Your statement of a few days ago encapsulated how most investors felt/feel......first time in the last 2 years I feel disappointed with the BOD.
The history can be debated ad infinitum, the basic issues are formulated by the lack of foresight, delivery of other opportunities and in many ways the lack of "plan B" in the event of lower than expected reserves at Verbier.
I suggest the recent result at Verbier, yet to be confirmed, casts doubts in the minds of Investors and the market, that other areas within the Licence may not come up to expectation. Remembering it is only JOG who have so far claimed the lower reserve at Verbier is commercially viable. Is it not critical our Major partner confirm the commerciality of Verbier. Let us hope they will before too long.
IMO, the nub of the problem being a junior partner, is information being fully shared, who ultimately decides on process and crucially who determines location of drills. Equinor are a mulit-national and the cost and loss of a well is a mere flea-bite to their finances.
