Thank you for your email to Deltic Energy plc (the “Company”). The Company is currently in an Offer Period, as defined in the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeover Code") and is therefore subject to regulatory restrictions in relation to how it communicates with its shareholders and the information that can be provided to its shareholders. We are therefore unfortunately not in a position to provide specific replies to questions that are received from individual shareholders.
Personally this deal makes perfect sense to merge. The cash flow from the IOG assets from 2021 can fund the deltic PF and utilise the other 45% capacity with the Thames pipeline. Selene would be a cheap development for IOG.....This could be a big growth story for both partners.
I think IOG have been looking at DELT for some time and suspect the Selene update last month with Shell have made this very compelling I.e 70% GCOS and the 50% prospective reserves upgrade that’s bigger than the whole IOG portfolio. Guess what 2022 drilling fits in with the schedule for IOG to tie into the Thames pipeline and makes any development picture very cheap from a capex prospective. This is making sense and Delt will see the synergy.

Draft agree but sometimes you have to be disciplined in keeping so much in cash. I have multiplied my pot of money by 500% this year and have to stick with what works.
That’s traders mike. I took £8.5k off the table Friday to maintain cash in my trading account and it was an easy 45% profit. Still hold 10m and will keep them to see what happens with the T/O or shell drill commitment. I don’t think 2p is long away.
Let’s be clear that the proven reserves IOG have is very very small....they might throw off cash in the next few years but strategically they are stuffed to organically grow the business. That’s were Delt come into it with circa 5billion tbf of prospective Resources. Selene alone (our 50%) is many time bigger than all the IOG reserves be it has a 70% chance of success and a partner such as shell. Retail need to smell the coffee and realise Delt are holding the pontoon in any deal. We are fully funded for our well commitments.
DJG - who are you referring to specifically? Personally I can leave the show whenever I please after buying 3 weeks ago. Would be nice to hear something on this proposal for T/O to give some stability and direction to the SP. that being said royal Dutch shell need to commit to a well decision within the next 8 weeks.
