Joe,
It’s an interesting one. They’re definitely tight on cash and you’ll see the liabilities column increasing in the 23 finals, hence the need to raise cash. The simple solution if all failed would be to dilute us with a Placing, that would be the last straw but would keep the lights on. Instead, they are flipping assets where required. Shallows are first up and the prod licence (if/when approved) on the deeps will probably see them on the list next, the valuation will depend critically on the next 2 key wells in play ie 803 & A5. Block 8 next, what’s the plan there come the prod licence approval ? Test the new wells and include with BNG ? Left with WS, the rig biz, the CE and a bucket load of cash. I am hopeful of the ‘sensational’ v the ‘calamitous H2, am fully loaded and we don’t have long to wait to really see the strategy.
