Firstly I am not necessarily a fan of Malcy, and he does seem to be friendly with certain people, but he does raise a couple of very important points:
1) It is now apparent that Block are receiving only $3.26 Mcf for the gas based on an agreement in May, 2020 whereas as late as the 7th April, 2020 RNS we were told the rate was still $5.24 Mcf - Why the sudden change and why was the market not told until now?
2) Between the 16th Feb, 2021 RNS and the 7th April, 2021 the total production flow has decreased from 940 boed to 573 boed. Assuming the base flow from the other fields has remained constant, and with reference to the production charts in the Stephen James podcast in February this decline is partly due to the WR16aZ shut in (approx 260 boed) but the remainder would appear to be a reduction in flow from WR38 from approx 500 boed to approx 400 boed. It should be noted flow rate is an average figure over the period so the actual figure at the end of March could have been less.
3) Leading on from the above, the recent corporate presentation and a previous RNS indicated that the WR16aZ remediation would take place at the end of 2021. All of a sudden it has been brought forward, once again we have not been told why, we have been left to guess.
I am not trying to stir things up, I am still invested here, however I did take some of my shares off the table on Friday afternoon for the above reasons.
