Hi Maqsood. Of course its great that they are aiming to restart production from the two old Wells, but this is only expected to provide a relatively small contribution to cash flow.
This from thd last report.
" Oilex expects to obtain a new environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment and Forest and Cabinet Committee to supersede the clearances already obtained under the previous regulatory requirements, which will allow the small scale gas production to re-commence from the existing C-73 and C-77H wells. While production rates are small, the proceeds pay for field costs."
77h was in fact an unmitigated disaster, cost 30 million usd, for very little return, and was the reason for the fall out with gspc and all that followed.
I believe that it is expected that due to the long shut in, the pressure build up will result in improved flow rates. That, coupled with the increase in gas prices will make the restart much more profitable than would have otherwise been the case. Also, it should be great PR, demonstrating that Oilex are producers again. It would be interesting to know if the workover of 77h,next year incudes the possibility of a trial of the new techniques.
Overall, I think the announcement of production restart may give a decent boost to the sp. Atb.
