I'm still not impressed. While the report likes to tout the COS as almost 20%, the fact of the matter is that of the 8 targets on GBP's licenses only one comes close with a COS of 19% yet contains only 4% of the headline figure of resources net to GBP. In fact the average COS of the 8 targets is less than 10% and 5 of the 8 targets are under 10% COS meaning they are basically worthless leads as things stand, so that much vaunted 3,800 MMB figure is basically meaningless.
Even if you look to the drilling of Venus as a catalyst, the author himself admits it's entirely possible that third party Namibian wells will be further delayed. I think that's a definite in the current climate. With companies slashing offshore expenditure who wants to waste money drilling wildcats in frontier areas like this right now? Moreover, even if Total does drill Venus it's literally hundreds of miles away from GBP blocks.
There are chinks of light for GBP, but it's still a way off IMO and the situation is not a rosy as that report makes it appear. DYOR
