Sorry did you miss me... ?
"Dave handing out a big spanking" .. really? must've missed that bit. What did he "guarantee" or "promise" rather then hedge his bets with "but you never know"
The well is apparently flowing "ahead of expectations"... what were those expectations?, they're not telling us that are they, everyone thought the expectation was originally 500 bbls/day, then it was 500 AFTER the Proppant Squeeze, its doing "3-4 tankers week" i.e about 100-120 bbls/day (as everyone has already worked out), so iss that ahead of their expectations? which were? A silence on flow rates? why?
Simply because the Calmar payment is due on first "commercial" production, if its being produced on a commercial basis then it's due, if its still on the carefully worded "extended well testing" and "clean up phase" the argument is it isn't...putting out a rate will allow Calmar to do the maths 100*65 = $6500/day , Opex $4000/day... thats commercial isn't it?.
It may well flow at 500/day but even then the revenue and current cash doesn't seem to cover the proposed work programme they've highlighted, £2.08mm Calmar payment, WNB testing, WNA Testing, Biscathorpe s/t, Bisc planning payment, 2 wells at Keddington, another Bigger Claymore Royalty Deal, Overhead and other licence costs... feel free to ignore these inconvenient facts... as I'm sure you will, you don't have to read my posts, they do seem to make you angry, so perhaps you shouldn't...
