Sale of East Gamma? At best it's 15mmbbbl recoverable if there's anything there at all... it's many years away were it to actually get to drilling stage. What do you value that at then? Another year's salary for TC at best? More likely no cash at all, and just a small % if it get's to produce some time in the distant future?
PMG won't get cash to drill Skerryvore, they will need to farmout a large % to an operator who will actually do something with it (if they fancy it). PMG don't have the capability as an operator or to drill a well (they have never drilled a well since they were formed). They may get a small % left as a free carry if they find a partner willing to take it on. But can't see anyone rushing to sign on the dotted line, it's been sitting there on PMG's desk for many many years already - it was first described by PMG as a 'drill-ready prospect' over 10 years ago...
P.s. A little surprised the SP didn't tick up a little on the LDS-1 flowrates, but then again maybe not, it's pocket money and there's little left in terms of real growth potential for the company.
A long and solid history of failed projects with much hype and no actual results (other than those managed by other companies) means there's little to interest investors now.
I didn't realize until recently that the stake PMG took in Faroe Petroleum many years ago (2007) was actually bought some years before TC came on board as CEO (2010).
