It specifically says that Dommo now has the cash and capability to work over four wells to improve the production to 10,000 bpd. The FPSO remains under charter with a production based lease payment instead of an unaffordable one.
The only outside help Dommo seeks is consultants and engine efficiency experts.
NUOG and MFDEVCO are not engine efficiency experts , but they might be consultants.
Consultancy is not "transformational", so it is not that deal.
If the Dommo statement is correct then the decision was taken today and published after Simon made his ill advised tweet, and most certainly after the Liberal Club lunch where OSX was discussed.
You get the sense that Minty's no dilution deal was not much different to what OSX 3 Leasing offered and "better the devil you know " prevailed.
The silence from the company today in the face of this contradiction of inside information is alarming. Our most prolific insider assured the world via Twitter that Tubarao Martelo was the deal. I believe him, but perhaps the legendary arrogance of the chairnan has done for him, just at the cusp. Hero to zero in a day.
We will hear nothing more about it, IMO
