Re your 02:06 post ‘ Trouble is S1 was indeed drilled off Goudron wonga ‘ - I would argue that this is a very courageous premise for a conspiracy theory as someone might ask you to prove it!
If that happened you’d have to attempt to show it from the accounts !
LGO /CERP have not made a profit since I’ve followed them - the ‘ Goudron Gusher ‘ was a short lived excitement where production fell of a cliff after 3/4 months. That particular well was profitable in terms of ROCE as it was still producing oil at around 35 bopd more than a year later.
The success of that well enabled the company to borrow to finance a drill programme that was spectacularly unsuccessful and led to a succession of shareholder placings which kept the company afloat and financed S1, S2 and the latest campaign.
I wish all shareholders well here and I will continue to watch with interest. With regard to BOD they were acting with shareholder approval when P1, S1 & S2 we’re drilled and risks were well highlighted beforehand. The failures have created an army of bashers which I can understand from a human nature viewpoint and these forums are a good place to ventilate but I prefer to criticise the areas the BOD might have done better and currently this dispute with PRD might be seen as shooting oneself in the foot. There may be a good explanatIon but I’ve just not heard it yet, whereas PRD have put out RNS as they clearly think their shareholders should be informed!
