RE: DOOM!! If HERON not Remedied8 Feb 2025 07:50
Thank you, StockMaiden for your post.
You are not entirely wrong in what you state, just a bit economical and slightly exaggerated with the situation IMO. This board is for opinions, and yours are valid I hasten to add.
My only point is that no one is stating that H1 will pump at 850 barrels odd forever. But it will for a significant time, enough to pump good and healthy revenues to build the bank balance and more than fulfill the expansion expenditure forecasted. So I do not see this as a Doom situation.
This is an oil exploration business. High risks with high rewards. This is the game we have invested in. But to me, whilst one can argue that MB has been a little reckless in regards to sinking test Wells - (no doubt because he has been stymied for some time by the legislation and the MG vs the regional government for the Heron site), when it would have been better to hold onto the cash, everything is looking really good right now. You can argue in MB defence that with the Heron field continued uncertainty, he felt the need to find and secure new fields without the problems. But regardless, we are where we are. It is genuinely looking really good. We need another two or three RNS' to drop to confirm everything that has been mentioned before becoming reality with security, and we are off.
We are one week into February. I think that next week we will get a hugely significant and changing RNS. I am very very happy to be where we are. On course and in the realistic time lines indicated. We will all find out very very soon!
