Afternoon el
warren buffet apparently wrote that 'work' consisted of reading 3-4 hrs a day re companies, politics, the news etc, and sitting reflecting for the rest of the day, he was expert in no particular field, save a voracious appetite to read and think. after a while he began to see patterns of probability and a reliable perspective re risk-reward taking into account the panorama of all he had read. i suppose it's like not being particularly interested in cricket (or any other sport) - but after watching enough of it one unconsciously becomes expert .
i read around oil for a few mins each day for no intrinsic reason other than i have skin in HUR. add to that tv, news etc and slowly the specifics at least begin to fall into some overall perspective (at least i delude myself they do). that's why i don't think any SHs time is wasted reading around all the good & bad re oil. it's not about any end opinion - but the force & validity of an opinion's supporting rational.
i agree it is on balance difficult to see how oil supply cannot become scarcer and more valuable more quickly now the green transition is being embraced. to me this seems that even without well 6, HURs acreage etc becomes more valuable and attractive to 3rd parties (or indeed to HUR itself if it could magic another producer or extend well 6's life). the challenge of course is to navigate successfully particularly the next 6 months. covid could return in another form, well 6 could have accelerated problems etc. warren buffet would identify around half a dozen companies with great risk/reward potential and would expect only 1-2 to really come good - but that was enough and all he hoped for
i imagine a fair few SHS (myself included) wish they had the spare wonga to buy another 500K as you have done. not because they consider HUR a certainty, but because of their view of the risk-reward probability. it goes without saying i hope you make some tidy wonga
