Latest details we know from farm out were from the operations update rns released 20/12/2019. I have copied two parts of that relating to conventional farm out below below. There is a lot of news to come in this quarter if you read DW's comments about how Q1 is shaping up. We are now over half way through Q1 already so it's going to get lively, very lively, soon.
1) Project Icewine - Conventional
The level of interest and the quality of parties in the Project Icewine Conventional farm-out dataroom remains highly encouraging. 88 Energy decided to honour requests for an extension to the year-end deadline in order to maximise the number of bid ready parties, whilst also remaining within the logistical schedule required for the drilling of multiple wells in the 2020 operating season. Consequently, the Company is now targeting close of a deal in 1Q 2019.
2) Commenting on the operations update, Dave Wall, Managing Director of 88 Energy, stated: "By shifting the self-imposed year-end deadline for the Icewine conventional farm-out, we are maximising the chances of achieving the best deal possible for our shareholders and we remain highly encouraged by the level of activity and the quality of the parties active in the data room.
The first quarter of 2019 is shaping up to be an important period for the Company with results expected from ongoing analysis related to the HRZ shale, the drilling of the Winx-1 exploration well, further definition of the potential on the Yukon Leases and, of course, the Project Icewine conventional farm-out.
