What are you missing?
Has anyone charted the bottom hole gauge pressure trend?
Between May and August (4 months) the BHP dropped 11 psi. An average drop of 2.75 psi per month.
Between August and November (4 months) the BHP dropped 36 psi. An average drop of 9 psi per month.
Octobers' BHP reading was left out of the operational update so Octobers figure is a guess. But either way on a chart, the rate of decline is increasing.
No Note of bubble point in this particular RNS as I assume the guidance they were required to give, has already been provided.
You may pay off the bonds in time. Long term unless something changes the decline will continue.
Part from my opine on the bond payments or not, the rest is fact. If production continues - even at a reduced rate to factor in the increased GOR you may indeed have money to do a workover or drill a new well. $30m would cover it. As for the tax shell, perhaps that's worth something., but that's outside my skill set.
Good luck all.
