“Sealion, In normal times this would be a no, but in todays world it is possible”
sorry “normal times”, what does this mean?
Sea lion is commercially viable under certain conditions the cost of extraction and potential risks is less than the revenue that can be achieved for the oil. That’s it basically, “normal times” is not a definitive statement.
The price of oil has fluctuated so much, all oil produced anywhere in the world has been affected for its commercial viability.
The main thing is the trend line, the mainly political one world, one government movement getting us all to green energy for me is dystopian. Batteries and solar panels are green right? I have worked in electronics and power supplies most of my adult life, those constituent parts are anything but green. The move is politically driven in my opinion. This means the narrative can always flip a little. The reality is without oil, industry will fail. Supply versus demand says oil price will not fall below what is commercially viable for Sealion in my opinion.
Therefore in “normal times” I see Sealion as always highly commercial, it’s just political will required.
Good luck all
