Good morning Romaron,
Another cloudy and rainy morning in south Sweden, start to get desperate for some sun and dreaming back to Cervinia skiing:-) If we ever hits the jackpot here I could imagine buying some small hotel in the Alps and post less here.
About Spirit, I checked some but will not spend too much time on as we have no clue.
Seems like it could be a nice partner and maybe they discussing with " third partner" also like exxon fields to be included in the deal, no idea.. but could be the reason it takes time.
Hitmans post ties in very well with what we discussing, AB-hedging-shareholder value.
Hitman calculated what money will be left for shareholders after paying down debt and it makes a huge difference 50 or 60 oil. Thats why AB could never go wrong hedging 2 years ago at 75-80 oil and 1 year ago at 65-70.
Those hedging would add a lot shareholder value, and if oil would continue up to 90-100 we could have lost the maximum profit shorterm jackpot but still hitting longterm jackpot with additional hedging at 90-100 oil.
Your talking about restraints, I hope they dont have restraints for hedging at high oil prices.
I dont blame AB for hedging low last 6 months, it was completely necessary for survival, restrictions maybe and no-one had a clue for how long and low oil prices would be.
To summarize, AB been very good last years make Enquest survive, less good at creating shareholder value.
Ofcourse he done good things also, Magnus and cutting cost. But without it we would not even exist.
Sorry but I dont see him exceptional better then other CEO's, maybe slightly below average.
I am sticking around here just because the upside is always biggest in Enquest with increased oil prices specially from these levels of shareprice.
Have a nice weekend
