From last years 2019 outlook (rns released 28th Jan 2019):
2019 Outlook:
· Project financing for ShoreCan due to be completed by the end of Q2
· Appraisal drilling on OPL 226 scheduled for mid-year
· On track to bring four appraisal wells onto production at a forecast rate of 6-10,000 bpd by the end of 2020
· Complete negotiations and execute a PSC with the Government of Mozambique
· Complete a production acquisition
Arthur Millholland, President & CEO, commented: "We have made significant progress over the last year, having secured financing from an African-focused commercial bank and a global commodities trading firm, which will allow us to capitalise on the significant production opportunity that our offshore Nigerian asset represents. With the potential for significant near-term production at OPL 226, we are focused on ensuring this comes on stream as soon as possible, with the first production well scheduled to commence drilling by mid-2019, assuming all steps of the process are in order.
So Art, why the delay?
GLA I hope this comes good as its been a painful ride!
