OK last one then I also need to do some work (these dolphins won't train themselves).
So, if I was a CEO who wanted to deliver shareholder value, I would do as follows (however it is hard to give answers when we don't know the truth of the situation):
Are additional approvals needed for remedial work on Kiliwani?
I would tell them what ever the government told me, instead of telling people at EGM one thing and then leaving a vague answer on the website.
What is the latest on a licence extension on Mtwara?
I do not know, we have put in the application and have been assured we will get a positive response, there are no timescales given though. However as I have overseen a constant decline in the share price recently from highs of 7p to less than 1,5p I will be reducing my and my BOD salary significantly until I actually have something more to work on. I also won't be needlessly adding the BOD while the farm out is confirmed.
Are you fully funded for CH-1?
If the farm out is finalised, yes we will be.
Why are you acquiring more seismic over Ruvuma and when can we expect it to take place?
So we can find the oil and gas there, as soon as we can (after farm out is finalised).
What is the status of drilling CH-1?
Well we spent a good few months on the tendering for rigs, which we completed in July or August last year. Since then we reviewed the tenders for another 3-4 months and now have a rig and a company in mind, so we are waiting on approvals and the farm out completion.
Can you confirm that the deeper target at CH-1 is oil or condensate?
This is maybe the only one they answered properly...
