SB,
I have listened to both interviews of Hickey and Hibbert. First, it’s rather disappointing that Simon chooses to deferentially ask leading questions as opposed to interrogative where the facts may be better illustrated: after all, there are tried and tested evidence rules in our adversarial system which forbids leading questions to one’s own witness leaving opposing counsel to delve into the truth through rigorous cross examination leaving it to judge/jury/shareholders to adjudge on the facts. I find it difficult to believe he was an investment banker with JPM.
There is a clear dichotomy. Hickey stating a light oil with API 51 and Hickey stating a waxy oil: with your guidance, we know a waxy oil must be less than API 40 to attract the premium so stated by Hibbert.
I emailed Simon with , inter alia, this question, however, he has elected not to reply.
This is a matter which requires clarification ,even a layman as myself understands that classification must be established to achieve optimum flows.
The facts presented to date would seem to favour a waxy oil given the history of sustainability of flows.
It is very important that NUOG achieve sustainable flows and, should an ESB be required, shareholders should be so advised.
