L3 - I think we have all said that ENQ will pay some tax.
Infill wells will qualify. Anything classed as Capex by ENQ will likely qualify.
Work overs may not. Day to day maintenance will not. Lease costs will not. Diesel to run Kraken will not. However some of what ENQ class as Opex may qualify.
There may be some exceptional revisions but they have not been quick to do this, and in theory these elevated prices are not expected to continue. The new tax will also impact the economic case for existing assets so it may all come out in the wash.
