‘ As I said, it is up to each individual to decide upon fact or fiction. Here's just one of this morning's fictions that you can easily fact check by looking at the publicly available ITR. "Entire portfolio in Morocco is classified as prospective resource only". I repeat, disinformation, aka lying.
Please note, I posted that most of these divested assets not only had no hydrocarbons flowed to surface BUT HAD NOT EVEN BEEN DRILLED. It is a direct result of drilling that Guercif reservoir depths, thicknesses, areal extents, petrology, gas pressure, charge and composition are all known. How anyone can deduce that a shallow onshore basin with 5 logged modern boreholes, plus historical exploration, represents a higher risk than an undrilled deepwater prospect is beyond me.
fyi, there is a whole sub-industry devoted to O&G Acquisitions & Divestments. These A&D firms actively seek out and/or promote suitable opportunities for their clients, and provide technical, financial, and strategic advice. While many are US-focused, some such as Energy Advisers Group and Piper Sandler are Europe, Middle East & S.E. Asia specialists in asset transfer. Investment banks such as Citi & Jefferies also have specialist O & G teams. What PRD are planning is standard industry practice.’
