TRY NOT TO WORRY TO MUCH!!10 Mar 2020 14:44
FOR ANYONE FEARING BANKRUPTCY, WITH ALL THE SCARE MONGERING GOING ON, YES ITS UNSETTING BUT THIS MIGHT REASSURE A FEW.
Premier oil first half of 2020 40% of oil hegged at $64. Second half of 2020 14% hedged at $63.
IF prices stay where they are, we will be 150 million down buy the end of the year!! this is assuming no sale of Zama or adjustments to CAPEX.
They have 475 million of CAPEX this year this includes tolmount, drilling sea lion, catcher and other projects, which can be trimmed adjusted or deferred to assist in low oil price enviroment. Would like to think BP will be sympathetic to the current environment regarding the asset sales and timescales which are still making profit due to operating costs being only $20 but over the coming days and weeks options will be discussed with BP and the different options but doubt a share issue would be done at todays prices. (its in BP's interest to be as accommodating as they can be)
They don't plan to break covenants and wouldn't even if prices stay where they are for the rest of the year but if things lasted lower for longer still then could get wavers.
GOING BANKRUPT IN SECOND HALF AS SOME SUGGEST IS JUST SCAREMONGERING!!!
