Just wonder how close we really are to getting JV news, perhaps mistaken but since announcing getting better lending via RBL it should have happened by now?? even with a stretched timeframes and especially as "banks lined up" Pretty sure it would have been a relatively easy process for COPL to achieve.
The whole Due diligence notification is interesting, again could be wrong again but assume along side that will be negotiating both the legal contracts and importantly the transaction price!
Feel it's unlikely the SP would be held in range due to the transaction price but at the same time an interested "Major" might want to suppress or keep COPL under the radar, so to speak, whilst sensitive negotiations are underway. It's possible there is some competition for COPL assets after all. This must have been going on for months and months before we even knew about it, as it can take well beyond a year to negotiate terms and possibly its a reason for our suppression and remotely possible the manipulation, speculative view only in effort to try and understand the why.
Either way, if the company is expecting things to be resolved soon ( for me that's by EOY ) then we could be in for quite a nice shock, especially when looking at near by operators, as has been discussed here. Production increase was always my main concern and want here, but a JV changes this company in a heart beat. Very very exciting if it comes to pass soon.
Anyway, coffee break over GLA.
