Why would PFC sell of its biggest Moneymaker.... Cash Cow??????
From 2021
"Private-equity backed 3t Energy Group has inked the deal which includes Petrofac’s survival and marine, health and safety, fire and major emergency management capability and facilities.
A total of 104 Petrofac employees will transfer to 3t, which is funded by Blue Water Energy.
The acquisition, which should go through in the next two months, is not expected to result in any redundancies."

And currently PFC are being sued in the High Court by institutional Investors....... Will the Institutional investors have cashed In....or still holding....I would Imagine Cashed in ...As they would have to Define Loss.....or can other Investors Join The claim?
What will make this worse is...
Its Squeaky Bum time for the auditors already when that case gets going........ The black Hole Deepens????.......
I can see the PFC defence .......LOL......
It was 2 big boys that done it m,laud.......Then they run away......
Or it was rogue senior managers acting without the knowledge of the Directors......
Oh silly me they used that one the last time......... It didn't work then.....
And the real rub being that the auditors stated in the Annual Accounts that the highest risk associated with PFC is Financial Management......... And then there is the Bit about Going Concern.....

Maybe he needs to trawl through the "Directors Shares Buy" and see when the BOD actually purchased Shares.......?????? and not the quarterly share awards.....

Collections on Legacy contracts are never easy......
Especially when you get the Engineering wrong.....The knock on effect is that client become pedantic and starts looking at the project through a microscope......Throughout PFC history Legacy Contracts have been its Achilles heel......And PFC then will try to blame things like Weather in Shetland or Brexit or the Unions or suppliers or covid.....Ect Ect thats why Fixed Price EPC contracts are horrendous and 95% of PFC are fixed price.....
What compounds this further is......The Scope Risk for PFC on TenneT is massive in that they PFC don't own the Key elements......
Heavy Lift -Fab Yard -Transportation Sub Contract..... A Specialist Sub Contractor will not take a High risk.....In Fact I would Imagine any sub contracts coming out from PFC the sub contractor will only accept on a Cash positive basis.......Also upfront mobilisation costs being met by PFC further impacting Cash flow at PFC is considered industry norm when dealing with PFC.....
If that Supply chain is broken due to for instance to delays such as Late Payments and a weather window is missed.......Disaster........ Liquidated Damages kick in.....
PFC have tried hard to manipulate the TenneT work as its biggest contract win, throwing out contract values as $13.5 billion ........
TenneT as a client is not going to rush up front EPC contract payments without guarantees from PFC on these funds......Considering the Share Price its highly unlikely TenneT are not asking very serious questions on PFC viability to deliver........
TenneT are looking at project support from the Dutch and German Governments .......
The Dutch are not going to be ecstatic about contracts going overseas and Non Dutch contractors.....
PFC have made the TenneT contract and cash as wonderful business for PFC to the markets ........
The Question is it a Reality or Utter Desperation on the part of PFC.......
The Auditors did say in the Accounts that PFC biggest risk is still "Financial Misrepresentation....
The Delusional did not get there Meds this morning........
And PFC have increased those booking to Job No 666 to pump out absolute last gasp propaganda about legacy contracts that are close to completion..... wheres the RNS????......Josef Goebells would be Proud
Financial Mismanagement is not words auditors' state for errors in the accounts.....its really Bad....Its beyond Bad.......And todays only Wednesday......
The shares I got from PFC were at £!7.34..........And since that day the Shares have only went one way......
Down and Down in 2012......I know I Was right since then.....
I have seen real crooks at work in FWEL Simon Carves Carillon Inter Swerve but my eyes were opened when I Joined PFC....It was on a different level......It was obvious in 2012 it would end badly what surprises me is that it has taken so long to fully out the Criminality....
If there is no Black Hole.......But there IS.......
There would not be a Problem because PFC would continue to Fleece The Banks and Shareholders...... and Totally gullible investors with promises of Jam tomorrow.....
The Black Hole stops any returns and exposes the Bankers to bigger losses whose fall back was always the over inflated Security of the pledged Shares....thats why this will now fail........
The Pledged Shares are Penny Shares....
And the Auditors realise that the Black Hole will potentially get bigger..........December trading Update will have been compiled So Auditors will have had there say........... and the Trading update will reflect this......So something has leaked along the way......IMO
