Slift,
Not sure I agree with your last paragraph - fast payback should translate into higher FCF giving you the option to pay dividends and/or reduce debt significantly. Neither is currently happening. The only reason Tlw will reach Debt at 1.5 times EBITADX is because of the oil price and there is no dividend in sight anytime soon. If production doesn't increase in 2023 then there is nothing to drive SP recovery unless they get lucky in Orinduik which is the equivalent of backing a horse at Aintree. You are basically saying that Rahul has been misleading shareholders (I'm not necessarily disagreeing) but its probably naivety, which is just as bad a trait in a CEO.
