The last RNS regarding FEED on 8th March gave some clear pointers to the next news items we can expect:
“ Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") commercial proposals have now been requested.
· In addition to the FEED, other technical work has been progressing in parallel, in the lead up to development sanction, including:
o Environmental, Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA"), for which onshore and offshore environmental baseline surveys ("EBS") have already been conducted;
o Field Development Plan ("FDP") is being finalised by the Lixus joint venture partnership to enable the award of the production concession;
o Development drilling planning is ongoing which can further evaluate the potential of an additional 754 Bcf of 2U prospective gas resources for minimal additional cost. The targets identified have an independently assessed geological chance of success ("Pg") ranging from 49-61%.”
We saw a very promising rise last week. It was no doubt partly fuelled by ISA purchases at the start of the new tax year but the volume and size of some trades suggests there was more to it than just isa purchases. There is a lot of news that could land any day now in the run up to FID. It would not be unreasonable to expect this rise to continue in advance of news to at least 18p, which was the share price for the last raising of capital.
