I’m working on around £1B FCF per year as a guesstimate as hedges unwind but prices will also decline.
I think we can all agree the government has intentionally shafted energy sector here, wether you beleive it’s a demolition to cripple buisness/households and jobs like I do is another debate.
One thing I feel we need to do is stay one step ahead of these clowns, moving away from CCS the government and their gloabist media will hammer us. I can already see the headlines “Oil company’s that made billions cancel carbon projects over tax increases”
They will again twist the minds of the simpletons to blame oil and gas for greed and ‘profiteering’ and caring more about profits than the environment. The whole climate change thing is just another scam to push out oil and gas and have everyone hooked up to the national grid and even more controlled.
We need to stay one step ahead and keep investing in CCS and other co2 capture projects, capturing co2 will become more than likely more profitable per tonne than oil itself.
We can’t give this corrupt government any excuse to Sabotage us any further.
Another point made on here is hedges, I am more than in favour of long term hedging to overlap the current hedging that will come to an end. We need to create a stable investment in this uninvestable environment the uk gov have created.
Demand could fall off a cliff at any time in the next 6-12 months and we need to gaurentee FCF to help with our diversification. Greed will get us all caught with our pants down if we are not carful.
