Hi treasures,
Agreex that if Ash 4 comes in good and it has to be very good then fy guidance could be achieved.
The worry for me is the elephant in the room and thats the decline in production which I find quite alarming.
For example we ended up with 2021 fy production averaging 2327 boepd and now daily production around 1250, uog haven't told us officially q3 production for reasons that they only know, so I use my own estimate and want to make that clear. That's a big drop.
The other thing is that Asd-2 was a success and came onstream at 462 bopd at end of march and yet even with this addition the production has really declined.
Even with asd 2 q2 production came to1537 boepd, q1 was 1567 boepd so you can see that's really a drop of 492 boepd over 3 months( adding 462 to q1), not good.
This is why I think egypt isn't able to cover all uog cost and the cash will soon get eaten up.
Maria might come good but let's not kid ourselves, never count chickens....
We won't get the cpr until end of year so nothing will happen until 2023 but there is no guarantee that anything will happen and if I remember correctly, no doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong and I might well be, it will take about $70 m to drill and bring to production so need a company with deep pockets to put up the capital.
I think uog will need to find another asset that they can buy into, one that is producing and with no risk, before cash dwindles.
Anyway good luck but please dyor.
