RE: 5,000 - 10,000 bopd v 160bopd - It's about the FARM OUT!9 Aug 2025 08:45
Kevin, if your asking me there are a couple of reasons the sp has declined, these are detailed below in what i believe are order of importance.
1: Petro China ack on signing the oil sales agreement, MATAD submitted the signed agreement in January, we had to wait until end of June for the first payment and then we found they withheld 30% due to tax questions. Since June they have not paid the monthly invoice for our oil, to keep it simple the are starving MATAD of working capital hence why these workover did not start back in March/April.
2: I would agree the 821 bopd well test and the actual 200 bopd production rate has impacted the sp, i also am not an "oil man" but understand the initial 200 bopd now 160 bopd with oil being pumped is not a bad daily production rate for the region.
3: You mention paid rampers, i find that strange, i see them as genuine holders keen to promote the company they invested in, i do believe we have paid stock BASHERS and i believe they may well be backed by one of the entities that want the Heron field for their own, might it be Petro China, very likely in my eyes, no doubt these BASHERS work through some shady UK trader, but i am pretty sure yourself, ADW and chums would know more about this than me ?.
