Morning cinch,
Yep read the same rns, so in reply.
I did mention the sale of Maria and if the transaction goes ahead uog will receive $2.45m in April or May this year followed by an uplift payment which may occur this year and then 3 bonus payments, not sure when these might occur.
I've also provided links for shareholders to Jesmond capitals listing on tmx, their news contains a lot more information on the transaction.
Uog market cap at the moment is £7mor around $8.6m.
Don't think the cash balance has taken a hit because of the state of the Egyptian economy on its own but mainly due to production decline along with 3/4 wells drilled in 2022 not being commercially viable and costing around $1m apiece.
The average realised oil price per barrel from Egypt achieved was approx. $96/bbl so they got a good price in 2022 and Brent is currently around $88 so uog will get around $84.
As for Envoi don't think I said uog had ditched them only that Envoi hadn't been able to find a partner for Jamaica and that uog are now employing a second company based in the US to assist in that process. Is that a positive or negative in a way it's both.
Salary cuts, not a good sign although agree they were getting to much.
Tightening their belts in a way.
Well workovers seem to be going on forever but getting nowhere, delayed, operational issues seem to taking forever to solve, why is that?
If Jamaica does come off you are completely right the sp would be a lot higher.
Debt, nearly missed that.
As far as I know in 2023 uog will still have to pay bp 12 payments of $220k or around $2.64m.
I would like to know what the debt consists of and how they came to a figure of $1.5m, could you help answer that.
But they did reduce it by $4m in 2022 .
Your right I do post a lot on uog and have done for many years as a holder and non holder over those years but funnily enough never had to explain my posts so much when a holder.
I never always posted positively as a holder and like to call things as they are regardless of my position.
Hope I've been more balanced, but the scales seem to be uneven at the moment.
All my opinion.
Good luck.
