I really like oilman Jim (controversial I know….)
But he talks about placings and up coming drills, I might invite louis10 to join us over here lol
This is what he said about 88e interesting he says people don’t get excited about flow testing so need to consider this later this year as it might not take off….
Another company raising last week to flow test a potentially non-commercial well was 88 Energy (88E), which announced a non-renounceable rights issue to raise £6.29 million at 0.31p. The principal use of the funds is expressed to be for the flow testing of the Hickory-1 well at Project Phoenix, North Slope Alaska in 2023/2024. Also covered by the fundraising are planning and permitting activities for the potential drilling of an exploration well at Project Leonis, North Slope Alaska in 2024/2025, but that’s a year and a half away.
Flow testing simply doesn’t create the same excitement with the public as drilling. The popular imagination is that when a well comes in, oil and/or gas comes shooting out. The idea/importance of flow testing doesn’t really enter their thoughts. (I covered 88E several times previously in the private blog and it’s another one that performs well with a drill: Charlie-1 was financed with a 0.7p placing and the share price reached a high of 1.48p prior to the spud; Merlin-1 was financed with a 0.33p placing and the share price reached a high of 4.7p subsequently; Merlin-2 was financed with a 1.49p placing and the share price reached a high of 2.817p prior to the spud.
