'The joint operation between Rathlin, Reabold and Union Jack have a commitment to drill and test a new Kirkham Abbey deviated or horizontal appraisal well by June 2024. The joint venture has also committed to recomplete or sidetrack and test one of the WNA-1, WNA-2 or WNB-1Z wells in that same timeframe. The Company estimates its 16.67% share of costs for these commitments to be c.£2.2 million. Rathlin, the operator of PEDL183, is working with the NSTA to defer these commitments to allow the time necessary for Rathlin to obtain sufficient funding for its share of the commitments.'
so, apparently not the £1.6m per 1/6 stated in an earlier presentation.
5/6 would cost RBD/Rathlin £11m - Rathlin has little over £1m imo, RBD had £8.2m as at 30.04.24
it seems to me that RBD not only has no intention of bailing out Rathlin but they can no longer afford to!
They are shifting focus to CS while WN withers and dies. If I'm right, this strategy means they can continue to milk the company for several years whilst keeping LNenergy ticking over
