RE: All in seriousness Nigeria want this hole drilled..4 Jul 2020 18:21
Jivinvg,
I agree with your thought process. New licence round (after 13 years) is only for registering your interest at this stage backed up by some development plan for only $115k payment. Company just raised US$1.5m so would still have $1.4m cash.
Any new licence can sit in the background for lets say 2 years, while Copl gets on with OPL226 and fast track cash flows from say 3-4 wells in quick order.
I am more interested to know if the first drill is going to test all pay zones, 6000, 7200, 8000. Last 2 pay zones cover over +5 Billion barrel potential resource as per Page 6 of company presentation. So bopd estimates could be revised even higher. Will find out more details as we get closer to drill.
