Do we know which regulatory approvals are still outstanding? BMA?

So on the one hand the deal is somewhat derisked with lenders’ approval, but on the other hand they will end up with less than originally envisaged. It was good news to my mind, but if the market had been expecting next RNS to be confirming sale, then some will be disappointed

Or trades printed for an hour. Or is that just LSE? Possible order filling?

Not sure if posted before nor if there has been a readout yet:

The more seems to be a pattern of low value buys well above the actual price, allowing the MMs to present the spread as being much wider than it is and showing those buys as sells.

A nice round number to end the day

So what’s the catch? Regulator approvals given, shareholder approvals given. Some debt holders holding out? If such a slam dunk, and I hope it is, why priced so low? The market rarely gets it wrong… has it here?

Ah yes this one:

Any other regulators that need to approve? eg BMA?

Do we know what regulatory approvals are required, and from whom? Any info on the specific hang ups holding the sale up, if any? Or is it just taking its sweet time?

Expecting to see a few chunky black trades shortly…

…kicked off at about this time.

Average daily volume: 250k

Yesterday’s volume: >3m

Today’s volume: >10.5m with 2 hours to go…

Price sinks, someone buys £100k+ of shares, price comes back up. Incredible timing!

Any ideas how long the independent resource estimate will take off the back of this flow test?

Someone reported the short position in US went up considerably yesterday. Ouch. What’s the likely impact today?

Ikhan I didn’t see your 250m sell this morning. Make sure it went through buddy!

Apologies for formatting!

Understood. Let's adjust the size of the oil field to 640 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) and recalculate the NPV with the increased flow rate of 1000 boed and profit per barrel of $15.

First, let's calculate the new annual revenue with the updated field size:

Annual revenue=1000 boed×$15/barrel×365 days=$54,750,000

Now, let's calculate the total revenue over the productive life of the oil field:

$1,095,000,000

Let me proceed with the calculations.

After recalculating, the NPV of the oil field with the increased field size to 640 million boe, a flow rate of 1000 boed, and a profit per barrel of $15 is approximately $1,053,052,723.86.

Increasing the field size further enhances the NPV, indicating even greater profitability for the oil field.

Does 88e always announce on ASX first, or have there been times that news comes out in London before ASX is open?
