Hi kign, enjoyed your post along with others today, it seems the BB has become sensible again!
The only part of your message I don’t really agree with is I personally like the acquisition route as I would prefer proven production than developing our own as it saves the dissapoinments like what we have had with solan and tolmount so far. When we look at the money we have ploughed into dead or under producing fields we would have been better spending that money on proven production, surely?
The disastrous performance of this share this week has led me to bank profits elsewhere so I sold my serica shares (stupid move) but my point being we could snap up over 30kboepd of unhedged gas production for £7-800M but with circa £200m + in the bank with it. We need unhedged production and we need production quickly! I don’t want to sit and wait while we develop new fields with all the questions marks over them that can take years before producing a barrel.
I really hope the downgrade reserves isn’t just another trick to make us look like we need to merge with someone else to survive.
