The Khazaks are definitely at a turning point....thought I'd post a couple of quotes from Bill Browder's book 'Red Notice' gives a good insight into Russian mentality.
“Seventy years of communism had destroyed the work ethic of an entire nation. Millions of Russians had been sent to the gulags for showing the slightest hint of personal initiative. The Soviets severely penalized independent thinkers, so the natural self-preservation reaction was to do as little as possible and hope that nobody would notice you.”

“There’s a famous Russian proverb about this type of behavior. One day, a poor villager happens upon a magic talking fish that is ready to grant him a single wish. Overjoyed, the villager weighs his options: “Maybe a castle? Or even better—a thousand bars of gold? Why not a ship to sail the world?” As the villager is about to make his decision, the fish interrupts him to say that there is one important caveat: whatever the villager gets, his neighbor will receive two of the same. Without skipping a beat, the villager says, “In that case, please poke one of my eyes out.”

With yesterday's tragic news and a full weekend ahead....the one positive I can draw is that today would have been the day for any company to dump any bad news..some have definitely taken the opportunity....maybe just maybe CASP are on the brink of a positive update!
Investeg my thoughts exactly....I suspect a sale might come sooner than expected. Major companies with deep pockets may see the deeps as a real opportunity and something worth taking the risk on. A JV I think is out of the question as CASP have proved for years that regulation and scrutiny are not a framework that they work well within. What would be a sensible sale price $750m...30p?
802 not drilled through the same structure as the other deeps...so possible they won't encounter the same drilling issues. Pointless posting anything positive with the SP languishing at 3p...forget pipeline shut ins etc. they were costed in at 5p+...current SP totally due inaccurate comms from CC. Until they start filling their pockets with dividends or telling an element of truth we'll be down here for a while unfortunately
802 drilled near to Soviet era blow out...don't be surprised if a deep comes in now the concert party have maximised their holdings....shallow well production shot up after the debt for equity deal was concluded. I am reading between the lines here as as per usual pis are kept in the dark. They are in my opinion artificially extended the period between the debt for equity deal and a significant discovery to avoid regulatory scrutiny...all IMO of course :)
Not sure why we need Limerick on the BOD? Clearly he is not fulfilling his role as a non-exec in representing all shareholders. Maybe time however futile to suggest that he is replaced. He has on my behalf sanctioned the boat deal, the 3AB deal, the debt for equity deal and the purchase of drilling equipment...not one of those deals works for anyone outside the concert party and at some point need to be challenged. Maybe the 400 or so shareholders could club together and suggest an alternative candidate?
Gordon Brown spent $20bn on an IT system for the NHS that didn't work. The government need to build at whatever coat a parallel IT system that can at some point be switched over to...until the IT can stand up to the volume investment elsewhere is futile IMO
Reparations opened the door to extreme ideology and Hitler walked through it ...kick a man when he's down and if he does get up to break your nose his son or grandson will do it for him. Ukraine has assured it's status as an independent state...time for a deal to save lives though in the east IMO
