I doubt very much whether any decisions are being made today, tomorrow or next week.
Navitas’ priorities are to get Shenandoah on stream and Sea Lion ready for FID. That’s not expected until June which is still a couple of months away. We’ve seen turmoil in the markets for less than a week - of course it’s not ideal for them that the oil price has gone down but it won’t affect their day-to-day activities and the decision on when to push the button on Sea Lion will come later and I suspect the waters will be much clearer in a couple of months. It’s in nobody’s interests for global trade to grind to a halt.
It’s worth noting that Navitas actually got involved in the Falklands when oil prices were roughly where they are now, and with a breakeven of $25/bbl it’s still a very attractive investment case. Much more so than many higher breakeven options elsewhere, so that may be even more attractive to potential partners.
