Great presentation no doubt. Lonny I spoke to for sometime and was convinced that we have a great oil guy in our company. I spoke to him at length and also discovered that the Guercif block used to be the Old Merada block in the days of Fastnet, damn, were it not for a lack of finance in those days think of what might have been. So far we are looking at $1.3bn from a small part of the block, not bad Eh.
Sorry Lonny if I came across as asking you a lot of silly questions but I had to having been stung by the GKP experience, but on this I feel I am dealing with decent human beings who would deliver majorly. I am convinced that going forward they would deliver big cashflows on the CNG which would then be used to continue the exploration.
With what they have found so far on MOU-1 Lonny is convinced that it is commercial and this would be further demonstrated when the testing takes place of it and MOU-2. They potentially have I believe u to 230 clients looking for gas, their business model is quite socially friendly and would help the Moroccan economy no end in that they have a sustainable model which is not into pricing their products to kill their clients.
As the field is quite large they have areas that farminees would deal with while they continue with their work . Going further there was an allusion to a 10% probability of coming into a 1000m oil column which he mentioned needed to be planned for so as not to meet surprises down the line.
I tried via various crude ways to get him to come up with figures regarding what sort of figure overall he expects the field to contain , on that he wasn't talking at all. He radically changed the way drilling was done in Morocco via import of technology from his Canadian contacts . A great person to relate to , a great explainer and listener .
The payback period on loans for developing the CNG would be short going by the returns it would generate , were they to decide to go into the business of paying dividends they definitely would have the cash to do so.
Goodnight folks , it has been a great evening. Thanks to LB and PG.
