The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
This stalemate is eminently solvable……IOC consortium should just agree to set up a mutual slush fund to provide an ‘incentive’ for the rulers to sign ……. and all will be resolved post-haste.
Remember where we are trying to do business, and what the age old customs for getting things done are.
Simple.
External pressure will be applied to the eternally squabbling face savers - to make up the Russian defecit.
The grown-ups will unite and lob a few missiles into Yemeni seaside towns as a warning not to get involved as proxy for Tehran’s retaliations - and taps will open soon …. perhaps.
Could be a good start to the New Year, and we may even crest 1.50 ?
The merger of AKER and BP in Norway a handful of years back - has gone from strength to strength.
Dynamic young ‘New World’ management in AKER coupled with BP’s sound engineering backround and Norway’s limitless access to financing - has created a winning blend.
No reason why BP and Equinor would not follow a similar synergy ?
Wow.
Just looked at Equinor’s BoD …. young, dynamic, highly educated and plenty of Energy Industry experience.
They will swamp our lot if a merger takes place.
Lets hope it does - or we will remain stuck, floundering and lost in the fog as Technology moves forward.
Good luck with that then…. the firepower in even one small frigate is devastating and is so relentless that these misguided pirates will be vapourised into mince for seagulls and chum for sharks.
Best not to make idle threats against serious sailors.
Looks like a viable option Nightpusher….. could we not meanwhile rent-in some proven energy sector expertise - to kick us off into a solid business strategy and market credibility/stability ?
Seeking yet another old mate to add to the existing non exec directors are we ?
The BoD have been systematically used and abused - under a seemingly illegal contract - by a bunch of tribals.
What is another snout at our trough going to achieve for us ?
Does the Rafidain Bank understand that they can forget ever seeing that money coming back. Ever.
Any monthly interest payments will be in their dreams.
…….Unless of course the bank is owned by a leading family ;)
The plot thickens.
“way down the list” are we ?
We are the prime source of all monies flowing into the Region - whether from direct export sales or via SOMO.
Where on Earth are our charitable contributions being filtered off to then, one wonders ?
700 B !…. but will it end up (like our missing payments) in the Swizz bank accounts of the few ?
Surely the general population wants the oil to flow so that they can see their miniscule benefit from it ?
“The members of APIKUR will continue to work with the GoI and the KRG to resolve outstanding issues“……….and does anyone know what these are, pray tell ?
Surely these can only be to avoid prosecution and to ensure and increase the wealth of those running the show.
