RE: Ambiguous RNS from Roland7 Jul 2025 15:15
Disagree wakey,
On the 4th April Roland stated in a RNS "Synergia had anticipated that the drilling of the first new well under the WP&B would commence in Q2 2025, however, Selan has informed Synergia that it is yet to contract a drilling rig and that the drilling operations will not commence before September 2025. Similarly, the larger (50T/100T) workover rig has yet to be contracted by Selan. Since the bulk of Synergia's costs in India are being carried by Selan, the Company has minimized the financial impact of the delay in the commencement of the drilling program and the re-commencement of the workover program."
Note "Selan has informed Synergia" suggests that SYN had no idea until Selan informed them.
After that Roland went to India on his return he stated "Further to the Company's 4 April 2025 announcement, Synergia's joint venture partner, Selan Exploration ("Selan"), has now secured a drilling rig and related drilling services from DEEP Industries Limited to drill the first of three new wells under the $20 million work program on the Cambay PSC, where Synergia is fully carried by Selan in exchange for a 50% working interest in the Cambay PSC. Selan anticipates the drilling will commence in September 2025."
So, to me, he didn't know, he took his eye off the ball, he dropped a bol l o ck, however you want to refer to it. He had to get on a plane to India and sort it out in person, the delay had an impact and now we are selling 50% for $US14m and we have no idea what we are getting for the other 50%. A supposed $US20m carry but no idea if they are actually doing anything. Why would Selan do anything? Why would they spend anymore? They could faff around for 6 months and get it all for $US14m. The comms are shocking, beyond shocking in my opinion.
Roland needs to do a Q&A this week.
