RE: A lot of 0's in the latest production update6 Jan 2022 20:36
As long as they're drilling I'm not too worried about protesters. But it's Peru and that's why it's trading around 0,26p and not 126p. With the long delivery time of ONP, Talara will pretty much be up and running at full capacity before oil in the pipeline will enter the refinery - it's a 8 month journey. So there should be a lot of pressure on the regional and national government to make a lasting peace. However, it's Peru...
I don't even hold a grudge against the indigenous people - sure it's a pain in the b. - but they've so far received close to zero compensation for hosting a polluting industry for decades (yes, PetroTal is better).
I expect they'll work it out eventually and it's still a very profitable and cheap journey we're on.
@viable, still in TXP, not going to exit anytime soon (adding if/when I can). Somehow people got spooked by 40 - 50% watercut in the (hopefully huge) oil discovery, Royston - PTAL has 80-90% watercut so that amount is nothing to worry about imo. Next reserve updates in both PTAL and TXP will be freaking huge.
