Spanish,
Sorry buddy, but your thought process is flawed.
Mongolian Govt. Is as keen as MATD to get oil flowing ASAP.
Exploitation licence is granted for 25 years, renewable for another 25 years. Mere formality, in my view, been quite a few weeks already. Would not be surprised if Exploitation licence is granted in Jan 2020.
Even more important for Govt to get this show on the road in an Election year. Lot of votes can be grabbed by sitting Govt as they deliver on the 'Domestic Oil discovery' by a local Mongolian oil company.
In answer to someone point about domestic feed stock for the upcoming oil refinery, Petrovis would be very happy to maintain the FULL supply chain, from crude oil to refined product feeding their Petrol stations, throughout Mongolia. Instead of paying far more for Russian Oil imports. Govt would save over $2Billion in import bill. So things should move much quicker in my opinion than the picture you painted. You might be knowledgable person, like Oilfated, but that's your own assessment..not fact?
Why do you always quote, in the end by saying....just stating facts?
Facts are known after something has already happened.
