I don't think the update is too bad considering the circumstances. Yeah, sure problems with taq taq, and payment worries but they've been issues for ages.
On the positive, the update on sarta is very encouraging. sarta production appears to be just around the corner, with potential for fast expansion next year.
I'm used to being disappointed with gas progress but it does seem genel are trying to get an acceptable agreement in place.
Interim dividend is also encouraging. Can't remember what the cost is to company (something like $15 mill?) but that should be affordable if oil price stays roughly where it is.
As for diversification, the company has licences in Somalia and Morocco, just need to find willing partners! Buying into existing already producing assets elsewhere does seem like a good idea. They'vettalked about it many times before and I'm sure if they get an opportunity they will do it.
