Somm,
The wheels will have to come off for us to see 2p again. Too much in the pipeline and probably only leveraged players would be likely sellers or forced sellers.
After 14 years, Caspian still have that monkey on their back as quite simply, they haven't delivered success. The deeps have alluded them to date and the shallow campaign is not where it should be, especially when you read the expectations in the 2017/2018 Investor Presentations when it was 24 wells, 8000 bopd and loads of busses, sadly that didn't happen.
The opportunity was huge in 2007, it is bigger now. The BNG acreage is roughly the same size as the inside area of the M25 ! and they are operating in oil rich Kaz. It's not as if they haven't found oil, they have and most exploration wells are duds and P&A'd. The oil is there, they continue to spend money on the remedial work and maybe Mr Shin can make the difference on all the wells going forward.
The pendulum is swinging from risk to reward, that is a fact.
