I'm happy at that. Always thought P8 was a risky venture. Build the cash and buy a gas company like PMG or IOG
''Outlook
With the ongoing success of our technical and operations teams, especially in beating the target for scheduled maintenance, the Company anticipates that, barring any unforeseen issues, production from Lancaster will be towards the upper end of our production target of 7,500 - 8,600 bopd during 2022. On this basis, if the price of oil is up to $90/bbl for the remaining cargoes in 2022, we forecast our year end net free cash being up to $110 million.
Our staff and management, together with our contractors, have done a great job over the period and I would like to thank them for their excellent performance and contribution to the Company's current strong position.
While water cut will continue to increase and pressure to decline, the field is expected to remain highly cash generative into 2024 at current commodity prices. Retaining these funds for further investment and acquisition for the future will be key but always measured against delivery of value to stakeholders.
The decision not to proceed with P8 is very disappointing. While the current extreme volatility of oil and gas prices makes it harder to plan for the future, we are confident that we can deliver additional value for our shareholders. Whether this is in further investment in new opportunities in the UK oil and gas sector, or beyond, Hurricane is well placed for a successful future.''
