DaProphet.....I don't think we can rule anything out at this stage. And the main issue, as I am sure we all agree, is cash position and what is likely to be their next steps for extracting value and cashflow from the licence and field.
If they are a confident the oil is there, and remember they are producing all be it small quantities from the Sch1 well, I can't see them just giving up and placing company in administration. If they decide to drill another well, they will of course need funding and this could take some time.
I genuinely believe they have just been unlucky with this well and the mud weight damage has been just too much to allow sustained and expected flow from that particular reservoir. Bear in mind if their technical team are still working to resolve the issue we could see anywhere between 50 - 100, or more barrels of oil per day. Disappointing yes but not a duster.
Stewart confirmed that they bitterly disappointed and are focused on the 3 core matters that were detailed in the last RNS -
(1) stabilising flow rate; (2) reducing costs to maximise cash flow generation; and (3) discussions with creditors to manage cash flow.
I understand why the shares would have to be suspended on Monday, thats just stock exchange rules and outside of their control. The unknown of course being when would they re-list or other strategies in play. This is a binary play now at this stage, could go 50/50.
