Hi DRRchi,
I agree very much with what you say there. Looks to me like PL is looking for the right Argentinian acquisition. Based on the conference call it sounds like they have turned a few down as not being quite right. I think they are looking for something between 1-10 thousand bopd but have a gut feeling they are looking for something between 5-10 thousand bopd. Further, if they are cautious about funding Paraguay 100% on their own, if it comes to that then I think they are going to be cautious with their acquisitions.
It appears that PL is looking for decent margins on the barrels a low cost base, adding to bopd and revenue and cash flow, cash flow, cash flow.
Hopefully, now it's starting to turn round we will get a jump in the sp as the acquisitions come along. That is what happened last time. The sp struggled along at 6p then in a relatively short amount of time went to 10p. The surprise for me was that it hasn't moved on upwards from 10p - but that could be a buying opportunity.
Atb,
