It's an excellent piece of business, gaining full exposure to a second block off shore Guyana which Exxon is going to drill multiple exploration wells; Huge amount of sunk costs have gone into this block already from. seismic and drilling, v valuable data.
And what a fabulous cash bonus...$15.7m into the kitty which pays for the Gazzania well in H2....no placing required.
Now have exposure to 4/5 wells over the next 20 months or so.
Has any junior got a better set of O&G Exploration assets?
2 blocks off shore Guyana, 2 off shore S Africa, 4 off shore Namibia. All worked up with 50-100m $ spent on seismics and interpretation . Multiple drill ready prospects.
Now we have the Venus and Graff discoveries, we have multiple majors all over us wanting a piece of the action. I expect to see a lot more M&A activity
