The Q4 update also took a long time - that was a pretty decent report but the best stuff was in the post period update which in my opinion is why they issued relatively late.
I can only guess that they are doing the same here - I know there are a number of third party wells to come in and also the production data from the Simonette Well but regardless the update has to be due anytime now.
I would just like to add a couple of comments on demand destruction - I don't want to be guilty of misleading anyone:
1) If anyone has read the recent articles i've posted and in particular the link to the Eric Nuttall / Energy Aspects Podcast - its quite clear according to these experts that not every recession / slow down leads to a reduction in oil demand - in fact many do not.
2) However, this is not quite the same thing as saying that not every slow down / recession leads to a fall in the Oil Price - the correlation here seems to be a little stronger and i'm currently try to understand this apparent disconnect. I have my own explanation and I have forwarded this same question to an Industry insider to get an explanation and confirm or otherwise my thoughts.
Bottom line is that if your invested in equities including Oil Companies - you should tread carefully in a recessionary environment - make sure you do you own research and make a sensible decision. Top slicing may not be a bad idea although as things stand today - its not something i'm considering until the Serenity Well is drilled.
Another thing - the BOE is forecasting a lengthy recession in the UK (4-5 Qtr's). Most of the new demand for Oil is coming from Asia so you need to be studying the data their and not necessarily what's happening in the UK if your trying to figure out how this is going to impact your i3e shares.
Anyway GLA and DYOR !
