David Sefton last week:
The results of the drilling, in combination with the new licence, will determine the real value of Tilapia and thereby AAOG. Development of the Mengo would very significantly increase the value of the asset as compared to today, and development of the Djeno would be a complete game-change. As a result, I am completely focused, as is the new team we have put in place, on ensuring the new well is drilled and determined that it will take place as soon as possible after the New Year.
AAOG has identified the rig which it considers to be most suitable for drilling TLP-103. This rig is new and has been further upgraded by the current client, a major international E&P company. We have been assured by both the rig company and the client that it will be available in January.
However, we are also working on contingency plans to bring another rig into the country should our preferred rig not be available. We cannot allow further delay.
