RE: Total funding for ETANA. Valuation of Char´s stake23 Mar 2025 19:13
On a positive note, we have gained invaluable knowledge from the A3 data at ENOG’s (free carry) expense, which should help to re-map prospects in the license. We will never know how much, if any, the collapse of the sale of ENOG’s assets influenced their decision to exit, but if oiltdr is correct about the license interest, then there could be another partner waiting in the wings.
The success of A2 enabled the raise of funds to build the renewables and green hydrogen pillars, which many were questioning at the time. In hindsight, it looks a good decision to me as O&G exploration always carries risk. If A3 had been a success, then I’m sure the OBA1 discovery would have been tested, but we are where we are! I don’t agree with others regarding DW, as I’m don’t think there have been many successful oil & gas explorations in Morocco to date by others.
The Etana funding gives me confidence going forwards that G & A can be managed and any progress with onshore / offshore gas is a bonus. I haven’t ruled out a further fund raise if the SP recovers, but can see light at the end of the tunnel regards future earnings albeit from renewables before gas. IMHO
