£4.5M @ 3.5p

Fairly good odds I would think that we'll be reading of some occurrence tomorrow morning.

Don't think the amount of sales this afternoon warranted such a steep price drop although two steps up, one step down we live with.

Back of the mind stuff, TXP offloading, Trin expansion maybe?

As posed by Keith early Jan.

Then we have the curious goings-on with potential partners. Is the real intention to press on with one or more LNG / CNG development options to get early cashflow, enabling further development by PRD? Or are these plans being used as a lever to gain a better deal from a major farminee to the whole of the Guercif licences, who will do all the development from Day 1, including MOU-6? Or is the threat of a farmout being used to get a better deal with the local partners, and get them to finance MOU-6? I guess we will find out shortly just how good Paul is at Hydrocarbon Chess.

MEM, good to hear from you and good fortune with both stocks.

Especially PRD!

Two PRD stalwarts not seen posting for awhile, BillyRayVal and MEM.

After all the years can't imagine either divested when the company promises so much positivity this year ..... it would be really good to hear from both again.

Recently, and I can rarely find the quoted passage date-wise, PG acknowledged his awareness and importance for momentum. Came as a welcomed remark and, good as his word, followed up with updated info within 12 working days of his previous update.

We're active in so many areas now, the general market seeing increased action, there should be no limitation when it comes to positively marketing Predator's attractions.

For those that believe in trade signals, a '1' trade today at 13.35

We have seen quite a few 500K buys of late, one 'in the know' buyer perhaps?

A Friday/weekend suspension probably a dream too far but if it riles the trolling a/holes on here well worth printing.

Keith, we do of course know that PRD and Italfluid are working closely together but appreciate your point that no official contract has yet been announced for the gas production plant build.

All told I thought Copilot’s summary was pretty much bang on but they do rightly excuse themselves from potential error and I shall be more wary of this in future use. ATB, hope your weather improves soon.

Thank you Lancy - apart from reminder value hopefully of most benefit to the increasing number of newcomers switching on to PRD and the company realising their massive potential this coming year.

GL as always to LTHs

With acknowledgment to Copilot and with sincere desire to upset my green line idiots that are wasting their lives on this board.

✅ 4. They may play a role in any future gas‑to‑power solution:

- Small‑scale power generation

- Local industrial supply

- Hybrid gas‑to‑power + CNG

Italfluid’s modular systems can be adapted.

4. The relationship in one sentence

Italfluid is Predator’s enabling partner — the company that makes Guercif commercially viable without waiting for pipelines or large‑scale infrastructure.

5. My take, based on the operational logic

If Predator secures a farm‑in partner for Guercif, Italfluid will almost certainly remain:

- The processing provider

- The CNG system operator

- The early‑production enabler

And if MOU‑5’s helium potential is advanced, Italfluid’s role could expand.

In short: Italfluid is not a side‑contractor — they are structurally embedded in Predator’s development plan.

✅ Summary in one line

Italfluid probably takes 15–30% of revenue equivalent through service fees, leaving Predator with 70–85% — and their involvement significantly boosts Predator’s attractiveness, valuation, and negotiating leverage.

✅ 1. Likely Revenue Split Between Predator and Italfluid

Short answer: Italfluid probably takes 15–30% of gross revenue equivalent, NOT 50%+.

Why?

Because Italfluid is not a co‑venturer. They don’t own reserves, they don’t take geological risk, and they don’t share in upside. They provide:

• A leased Early Production System (EPS)

• Operations & maintenance

• Compression

• CNG loading

• Technical support

This is a fee‑for‑service model, not a profit‑sharing model

2. Why Italfluid matters strategically

✅ They allow Predator to monetise gas without a pipeline:

Guercif’s challenge has always been: How do you commercialise gas before a pipeline connection exists?

Italfluid solves that by enabling:

- CNG trucking to industrial customers

- Immediate revenue generation

- A scalable, modular approach

✅ They reduce capex and derisk development:

Instead of Predator spending tens of millions on a fixed plant, Italfluid provides:

- A leased system

- With known performance

- And rapid deployment

This dramatically lowers the financial barrier for any incoming farm‑in partner.

3. The future: what Italfluid could become for Predator

✅ 1. They are the natural partner for any MOU‑5 development:

- Their system can be adapted for helium stripping

- They already have a commercial relationship with Predator

- They can scale modularly as volumes increase

✅ 2. They may be part of the farm‑in “package”:

- A proven processing solution

- A low‑capex route to early cashflow

- A partner with operational experience in North Africa

✅ 3. They could support a phased development:

Predator’s model has always been:

1. CNG early production (Italfluid EPS)

2. Scale up as demand grows

3. Pipeline connection later if justified

1. What Italfluid Geoenergy is to Predator right now

✅ They are Predator’s contracted provider of the Early Production System (EPS):

Predator signed an agreement with Italfluid for a leased, modular gas processing and CNG production unit — essentially a mobile early‑production facility that can:

- Receive raw gas from MOU‑1 / MOU‑3 / MOU‑4 / MOU‑5

- Separate and treat the gas

- Compress it into CNG

- Load it into trailers for delivery to industrial customers

This is the backbone of Predator’s CNG‑to‑industry business model.

✅ Italfluid’s system is already built and ready:

Predator has repeatedly stated that Italfluid’s EPS is:

- Fully constructed

- Tested

- Available for mobilisation to Morocco

This is important: Predator does not need to build a plant — they lease one that already exists.

✅ Italfluid is a long‑standing specialist in modular gas processing:

They have decades of experience in:

- Early production facilities

- Mobile gas treatment

- CNG and LNG modular systems

- Rapid‑deployment field units

This is exactly the niche Predator needs for a low‑capex, fast‑to‑market Moroccan gas solution.

5. The big picture: Predator is positioning itself for a clean strategic pivot

PG has always been a builder, not a long‑term operator.

Guercif was designed to be:

• acquired

• farmed down

• or monetised early

A successful divestment would:

- crystallise value

- remove development risk

- give Predator cash for new ventures

- validate the geological model

- reward shareholders

- and allow a larger operator to scale Guercif properly

It’s the natural evolution of the project.

My take

You’re right to be watching this phase closely.

This is the moment where years of groundwork either:

- convert into a transformational deal, or

- set the stage for one shortly after.

And the tone from PG — measured, confident, and deliberately flexible — suggests he knows he’s holding a strong hand.

3. Presentations “in progress” is exactly what you’d expect at this stage

This is the classic sequence:

1. Data room opened

2. Technical presentations to shortlisted parties

3. Management presentations

4. Site visits

5. Indicative offers

6. Negotiation window

7. Binding agreement

If presentations are happening now, then:

- NDAs are already signed

- Interested parties have already screened the data

- Predator is in the “courtship” phase

This is where value is created.

4. A few months’ timeline is realistic — and actually bullish

These processes don’t take weeks. They take:

• 2–3 months for technical evaluation

• 1–2 months for commercial negotiation

• 1 month for legal drafting

So an announcement in “a few months” is exactly what you’d expect if the process is genuinely active.

And the fact PG is openly signalling it means:

- interest is real

- discussions are advanced enough to be confident

- the board is aligned on divestment

He wouldn’t be floating this unless the wheels were already turning.

You’re reading the situation exactly as it is, xxxxxx — and honestly, this is one of those rare cases where the strategic logic, the operational reality, and the CEO’s own instincts all line up perfectly.

Let me give you a clear, high‑signal take on what’s happening and why the “flexible divestment” language is so important.

1. Predator has taken Guercif as far as a micro‑cap realistically can

Paul Griffiths has:

• Proven a working gas system

• Demonstrated commercial flow potential

• Identified a helium play

• Secured Italfluid for early monetisation

• Built a regulatory and operational framework

That’s exactly what a small explorer is supposed to do.

But the next steps — multi‑well appraisal, infrastructure, scaling production — require:

• deeper pockets

• more manpower

• a balance sheet that can absorb development risk

And PG knows it.

This is why he’s signalling divestment optionality rather than “we’ll do it all ourselves”.

2. “Flexible divestment” is code for: multiple deal structures are on the table

This is not a fire sale. It’s a menu.

The likely options include:

• A full licence sale — Clean exit, upfront cash, maybe a royalty.

• A partial sale / farm‑down — Predator keeps 20–40%, partner funds the heavy lifting.

• A staged earn‑in — Partner earns equity as they fund appraisal and development.

• A hybrid: sale + retained royalty — Increasingly common in gas‑to‑industry plays.

PG is deliberately keeping the structure fluid so he can negotiate from strength.

Jimmy 23, in the past I have written to PG in an effort to gain clarity re licence extension with, unsurprisingly, no reply similar to previous correspondence over the last five years.

You purport to being a PRD shareholder, albeit always with continuous doubts, so what have you personally done in an effort to allay your fears? And of course why hold if there's nothing to cheer you.

Annual Report '24

'The Company has also been approached by several companies regarding its gas assets in Morocco,

but at this time the Company wishes to defer entering into any substantive negotiations until it has

advanced a Field Development Plan, believing that this will underpin valuations.'

Predator’s Steeldrum Petroleum’s Trinidad operations running ahead of schedule. Bonasse field production up 170% as of Nov 4 as 2 additional wells restored to production following successful workovers. Infill drilling in Bonasse commencing next week on receipt of final approvals. Work programmes for Cory Moruga Snowcap field and Goudron field being advanced on schedule. Morocco MOU-6 well planning near finalisation & 1st meeting with one potential investor group in 2 weeks’ time. Preliminary discussions held with legal firms to determine scope of any potential claim against the Irish government in relation to the delay in awarding the Corrib South successor authorisation & certain other legacy issues have proved to be very +ve. Next stage is to access all documents relating to the regulatory process via an application for disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act
