It's as easy as some may believe being a JV partner in all your assets and having to rely on your operator for your updates, timescales and operational progress. Union Jack is tied in with Egdon for a number of assets, Biscathorpe which awaits a planning decision one year after the appeal, not the operator or the partners fault. Wressle has been a fantastic cash cow, is presently being upgraded. UJO have little or no say on what is going on here on site and certainly no say as to how fast this is completed or what can be announced, or when. Obvious DB can't just update the markets, if that were possible, EOG would be dojng the same, they are not, so in same position as Union Jack, so frustrating as it is, everyone is reliant on Egdon. West Newton is a massive gas discovery, Rathlin has obviously been short of cash hence most of the delay in progressing it and recent planning approvals are again, down to the operator. I think people tend to forget that Union Jack is an investor into projects that they hope will generate revenue, they do not have any control over much else and anyone investing in this company should do their research and accept this is their modus operandi. Until the various operators pull their fingers out, this company remains static. When you look at all the other oilers/gas companies, they all appear to hitting all time lows but few have the ability to generate the revenue Union jack does and this is set to increase over the next 12 months all being well. If Beacon achieve their near term goal, the investment there could easily double/treble or more over the next few months. When Wressle comes back online, the price pf oil for the future looks to be in its favour. Hopefully Biscathorpe permission will be positive and soon and Keddington gets under way. All looks reasonably rosy for the future regardless of having to wait patiently for news. All imo of course
