General Discussion
88 Energy - Merlin-1
What happened lately?
- 88 Energy started drilling for Merlin-1 in Alaska (median 645mil barrel of oil)
- In total, the company drills for 1,6bil (median) barrel of oil in their upcoming drilling projects
- Dave Wall, Managing Director of 88E, leaves the company in May
- Dave Wall increased his shares from 39mil and 17,5mil performance rights to 120mil shares and 77,6mil performance rights
- Erik Opstad, general Manager of 88E, is the founder of their farm out partner ELKO
- After costs of the project increased, 88E has "issued 360,000,000 fully paid to a professional and sophisticate investor at an issue price of A$0.018 per Share" ( 02355885.pdf (weblink.com.au) )
- The mentioned investor is drilling partner and company of Erik Opstad, ELKO 88 Energy (ASX:88E) completes surface hole drilling at Merlin-1 - The Market Herald )
- Joe Bidens policy makes it more difficult for the big players to get oil Biden policy puts 72% of Alaska’s remaining oil at risk, but output won’t be affected until after 2030 - DRILLING & PRODUCTION, Alaska, Joe Biden - Oil & Gas Middle East (oilandgasmiddleeast.com) )
Rumors:
- Drilling partner wants shares, not cash ( 88 ENERGY LIMITED (ASX:88E) - Oil Flowing then Buyer Coming In, page-1 - HotCopper | ASX Share Prices, Stock Market & Share Trading Forum )
- Both Dave Wall and Erik Opstad are preparing for a takeover by a big player
- Share price could jump even higher than it could if they'd find oil
- Why would DW and EO increase their share position right after the drilling? This would only make sense if there are big news coming up
