Well I was on the phone to him for about 90 minutes a few weeks back following up on some emails that had been going backwards and forwards.
He has a very good reason for wanting CW in place at the moment; there is simply too much going on for PA and TB to deal with it all. If we end up with this JV or another JV, I expect that there will be change at board level. If we execute a JV, the JV partner will likely want board representation or the right to nominate a director(s).
It may be that it takes a while for the JV to be executed, assuming one is agreed, the timescale might look like this:
1. HoTs 2nd week November
2. JV documentation agreed mid December
3. JV executed late December/early January
Obviously, there are no guarantees that anything will progress and it could fall out of bed at any stage and it might be that we do a JV with another, to date, undisclosed party.
The above timing would give the JV sufficient time to fully sort its operational plan for post March: it is too cold to frack earlier than April. Any fracking will need to be done April to October.
