RE: Where is SBP?19 Jun 2019 20:50
Someone asking where is SBP? Awfully sorry, I was away on business and it’s rude to keep checking your smart phone when you a chairing a meeting.
Petrofac is the 13th collaboration agreement by my tally, so there is now a full suit of hearts. Well done. It is also the third engineering contractor after Arup and Aker to join this MFD consortium, although they don’t call it that anymore.
Dr Pegram said that an engineering contractor was required to move GTW forward back in January, so we must presume that Arup and Aker exercised their rights of first refusal and refused.
The key words of the press release are “pursuit of opportunities” and “input to feasibility studies and opportunity screening working with MFDevCo to secure projects”, and “project negotiations intensify.”
All good stuff, but those words tell me that there is no project yet and Graham Scotton did not put his name to the RNS.
Petrofac took a beating in reputation with the recent SFO prosecution so they I imagine they are looking to rebuild partnerships, understandably.
Two central questions remain unanswered:
1. Where is the gas coming from? (Don’t say North Sea, we need field names)
2. Where is the money coming from? (Don’t say SPV, we need investor names)
When those questions are answered we can invest with confidence. Until then, the day traders will day trade and the long term holders are stuck in a yellow submarine
