Stockmaide ; you realise that PM can simply do a farmout with both of the new blocks ?
Here's a recent farmout example on AIM ;
" AIM-listed Challenger Energy, the Atlantic margin focused energy company, has announced that the farmout of a 60% interest in the AREA OFF-1 block, offshore Uruguay, to Chevron, has been completed, with all required approvals from the Uruguayan regulatory authorities having been received, and the farmout taking legal effect.
As an immediate result, the Company has received a cash payment of US$12.5 million while retaining a 40% non-operating interest in AREA OFF-1. Chevron has assumed operatorship of the block and going forward will carry 100% of the Company's share of the costs associated with a 3D seismic campaign on AREA OFF-1 (up to a maximum of US$15 million net to Challenger Energy). Thereafter, should Chevron decide to drill an initial exploration well on the AREA-OFF 1 block, Chevron will also carry 50% of the Company's share of costs associated with that well (up to a maximum of US$20 million net to Challenger Energy)."
