CS - As you are probably aware MB has stated numerous times that even 50 bopd could be commercial if you are near to the imfratructure which of course Heron is. He has stated that Heron is certainly commercial i recall. When he says he hopes Heron would be commercia or whatever it was then you are correct in pointing out that if they do not get the exploitation licence then of course its not commercial. In terms of the wasted year he is surely stating a fact that if the licence is not confirmed early enough ie q1 then yes maybe 2020 would be defined as a wasted year if no further drills take place. Yes, there are risks as there are with all stocks and he has stated q1 so we are not late as ther is another month and a half before that statement expires. If the Mongolian governement do not give the licence what message does that send out. They have a soft loan for 1.2 billion to build the new facilities i dont see that they are going to fritter the chance to fritter away oil from the Heron field. For all the talk about elections could put a spoke in....what a lot of nonsence whoever was spouting that recently. The short term risk is that yes the is a raise of sorts at a stupid price which would not be in the interests of shareholders as they may as well sell the hole thing.....but the likely senario is a farm out. Not sure but the coronavirus perhaps does not help in that neck of the woods.
