Something to think about9 Jan 2013 23:06
TRAP Management Statement on Romeo:
Trapoil's management currently believes that an additional well penetration is required on the northern side of the structure where the seismic character is very different to that penetrated by the subject well. Further appraisal work is required in order to fully evaluate the potential of the Romeo prospect and provide guidance on oil volumes
TRAP Management Statement on Orchid:
Trapoil estimates that based on the current available data there are in place unaudited volumes of approximately 40mmbbls which should potentially provide a commercial reserve. However, a second wellbore will be required to provide conclusive evidence of such potential
I am delighted that the Romeo well has successfully discovered oil as it was one of our 'home grown' prospects for which we earned a fully carried interest. We have now discovered oil in both wells drilled to date and look forward to the next well in our ongoing 2013 programme.
To me it seems that TRAP Management are happy that oil has been discovered in both wells. Now i think that TRAP will take this opportunity to buy out one of the Partners % which i think will be Noreco just like they did with Summit on Orchid.
Also just to add that although they got £1.5 million from Centrica, they used that money to buy 45% working interest from summit for the same amount
