Is Our Time Finally Coming1 Oct 2023 15:46
Good Afternoon Everyone.
I think for those of us that have been invested for a long time and those who are on the sidelines waiting should ask themselves a few questions.
Personally I think the GGS system was always going to work and profitability is guaranteed,
it,s a given for me and I don't consider it that much any more.
More interestingly, I think we can take massive solace from the fact that JV negotiations are taking so long.
Why,
if they were just talking about a full carry for a few de-lineation wells the negotiations would have been completed very quickly, ( after all the price of a few wells is less than pocket change to a respected industry leader ) compared to the size of the prize potentially on offer.
Therefore have people considered why the deal has taken a year to be concluded,
could it be ,
that decisions have to be made about what the full carry will include ,
what share of a potential Co2 pipeline would be included,
what would be the splits of government subsidies for EOR or CCS,
what value would be attributed to dormant wells for storage,
what the split of revenues might be ,
if CCU is successful what would be the process to extend the agreement to the BFFDU,
what level of WI they may ultimately want .
These are just a few of the many considerations ( both financial and legal ) that would have to be addressed in a large and comprehensive JV agreement.
So the longer it is taking the more confident I have become that we are on the cusp of a major turnaround event for both COPL and the us the long suffering investors LOL.
