OldReggieBabe,
I sold here back in the 80's....but kept it on my watch list. Don't have a large position here, but a small holding in mid 20's is far too attractive despite the company history that I am fully aware of. Hence current price of 22p and not �2.50 if everything had gone smoothly all along. Creates buying opportunities when you get -60% drop in 2 days. Totally understand the frustrations of many here, but we are where we are. Go to leave the 'Emotion' out when investing. Need to look forward, as that is what the Market uses to Re-rate share price...."Forward potential"....not past mistakes. Market has already punished the share price for some of the issues you highlighted.
Yes, the company made quite a few blunders, like very small well choke, Left wells shut-in far too long, Drilling vertical first and then Horizontal in some cases, etc. etc.
(1) Morgan Kinder gas processing facility -
commenced operation on 15 Nov 2017. Wells VOBM#1, VOBM#H2, VOBM#3 already connected to the plant. First production revenues of US$514,000 already reported for 15 Nov - 31 Dec 2017 period (Source: Interim Results RNS...27 Mar 2018).
(2) VOBM#5 -
Issue seems to be Frac going in too deep into the water zone, which is now hindering the hydrocarbon extraction. Heaters orders to deal with freezing lines......Heaters arrive this week to resume Testing. Once VOBM#5 issues are resolved and flow tested successfully, this will also get connected to the Morgan Kinder processing facility via new pipeline.
(3) VOBM#1 -
Main issue seemed; steel casing collapsing in the lower most section. Upper zone achieved successful fracking and already connected to the Morgan Kinder Gas processing facility initially at lower flow rates. During Diagnostic procedures, choke size was increased to 22/64, resulting in rates in excess of 6,800 mcfpd and c.250 bopd on a 22/64th choke; a material improvement. The VOBM#1 well was then shut in to avoid additional blockage and has scheduled a fracture stimulation procedure similar to those successfully performed in the adjacent Double A Wells Field. (Source: Operational Update RNS 9 Feb 2018).
(RNS...9 Mar 2018)
the frac on the upper section was successful and the well is presently in the post-frac cleanup phase and is producing at an average rate of 4,000 mcf/d of natural gas and 132 bopd with variable quantities of water at a stabilized flowing tubing pressure. Pantheon receives 70% of all revenues from VOBM#1 until payback.

nearby VOBM#1 well produced during its testing period at over 6000 mcfpd and over 500 bopd without formation water prior to its shut-in and the collapse of the casing in that well...
NOTE: this would be Target production rates, PANR would aim to achieve from VOBM#1 Side-track operation, resulting in more than doubling of gross Monthly revenues in addition to potential revenues from VOBM#5 in due course (Excluding both: Wilcox & Navar
