CaptSwag,
Even after big downgrade in resources, there are still a lot of resources available in the assets, not accounting for Halifax, sandstones, Warwick.
81 million barrels of 2C resources (Lancaster + Lincoln net to HUR). Or 103m barrels of 2C total (gross).
The AM has capacity for 30k bopd production with 3+4 years option(s).
To fully utilise AM and to create max shareholder value (not accounting for AM upgrades), a FWP that would provide 76m barrels 2P RESERVES Gross is required (at least 67m net to HUR).
This may mean more than one well, injectors, etc and would cost A LOT more. But there are benefits to both those who fund, and shareholders to invest the CAPEX to deliver the value.
The operation cost of such project would also be reduced significantly providing more cashflow and profits to service debts and provide shareholder value.
But hey, the BOD wants to spend $140m on a sidetrack and water injector and keep the company on a life support until failure.
