Apta MRE v Pepas Exploration?9 Sep 2025 17:34
This is a really tough call to make. I find myself swaying from one to another.
The idea of finding more Pepas's (or that feeder source) is hard to resist. But then it would also be a really smart move to repeat our success with the Pepas MRE over at APTA. Having the two MRE, which undoubtedly would collectively give us over 1moz, would then really underpin a much higher valuation going into 2026.
So where do we prefer the Rig to go to next? Would it be greed to say get another Rig and do both of the above? Well actually, it would be three Rigs because we will have at least one Rig drilling away in Argentina regardless. BG has said it's not just about the finances, but the human resources available to OMI to oversee multiple Rigs?
