I think the method in Minty was to spend as much as possible on admin and as little as possible on actually doing stuff, after the orginal well was a duster. The problem was that the well missed the motherload and all the rest of the money went on trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear, and MFDEVCO, which was basically just an expensive pipe dream. The buoy technology, and other associated solutions, were just not special enough to entice big oil to give up paying prospects to the management of an untried minnow. GTW was just a wheeze to try to keep the show on the road until investors patience ran out. The RTO idea depends on finding a deal, which with CORONA, paradoxiically might have worked, if investors had been willing to give the new team a chance. Unfortunately, with the collapse of CORO and SOU sentiment is not good towards the existing team, so its doubtful they can conduct a raise to make any RTO attractive to existing shareholders. Still we will see.
