RE: Nobody has asked the question31 Jan 2019 11:33
A lot of placing fear questions on here recently. But lets have a look at the facts first:
1- The recent placing said funds for completion of well 103. That to me is full completion, which means perforation and flowing oil. Hence the amount allocated. Also there is a contingency built into this budget, so going by previous contingency amounts put aside, it is normally $1m / £1m. This cash is on the side, and now the drill is finished, all that is left is perforation and completion of the well. Therefore this contingency is sloshing around the bank balance unused.
2- The top side modifications are required for Djeno production. So given it will be hopefully for well 104, they have plenty of time to do these modifications in the future.
3- Would any board elect to do any placings, until it finds out the result of the $8m owed to by SNPC. If those funds come through then you are looking at 104 rig money right there. Personally I would rather field percentage increase, but that is another view only.
Someone is still loading big orders here, at a guess I would say they lifted a further 1m this morning, which may show later. I have also noticed when they buy they buy in three stages of the day. The sudden moves up indicate when the order has been placed, watch STFL market maker, they suddenly become very active, with additional support from JBER and WIN's as lead market makers here.
