From HALO annual report - A decommissioning security arrangement (DSA) in respect of the production assets held by the group is currently in discussion, with security deposits expected to be called in the final quarter of 2018 and payable in the first quarter of 2019. The current draft of the DSA model suggests that the group will have sufficient resources to cover the deposit expected to
be payable in the first quarter of 2019, however, the headroom in these projections is limited. As a result, should the security deposit called by the operator be greater than the current projection, the group will need to seek additional funding, or an alternative means of securing this balance. Based on the current model, the security deposit called in late 2019, and expected to be payable in early 2020 is forecast to increase significantly. Additional funding would be required to cover a security deposit at the level currently projected.
HALO sell the gas at a discounted rate and with TTF crashing are not making enough cash to cover decommissioning security and Tullows €15m, let alone anything else. That's not my opinion, it's a fact.
Additional funding would be required to cover a security deposit at the level currently projected.
