RE: BPC 4p-5p per share (£200m market cap) even if Percy-1 is a duster? Here’s potentially how and why25 Oct 2020 14:39
GarryGraham - there are a few paragraphs in my book dealing with a troll who suggested that LGO/ CERP was a huge fabrication - posters tried the usual helpful suggestions alluding to the fact that the accounts were audited etc but this cut no ice - in the end I challenged him to up the stakes to suggest the government of Trinidad and Tobago were also involved as they are in ultimate control of the Production Sharing Contract through Petrotrin ( now Heritage ) - they publish monthly stats through MEEI ( Google Trinidad MEEI publications) which include a column on PSC production. As CERP own most of the PSCs in Trinidad the figures should bear a relationship with the official accounts produced by LGO/CERP. Additionally Petrotrin sent a representative daily to Goudron to measure tank oil - he was affectionately known as the daily dipstick!
Obviously Irene isn't knowledgeable about these matters otherwise she would have helpfully included the above information!
I don't claim historic knowledge of BPC so I can't reconcile their oil production over the years in the same way but I'm pretty confident that they've not been over extravagant in their bopd claims - it may be a bit remiss of me not to check any historic claims they've made but I must confess I have, perhaps foolishly, relied on BPC merger rns info where they stated one of the reasons they wanted to merge with CERP was so they could show SOME PRODUCTION which implied they had none - didn't those rns raise a red flag with you Sherlock?
In my epistle to LayLadyLay the other day I asked him, jokingly, to produce evidence of an unsuitable investor - I hate to say this but I think you come very close Garry - I don't give buy/sell advice Garry but think of your children and your blood pressure mate!
