On The Face of It18 Aug 2019 17:06
Been various theories posted re what our men are up to , asset sale ,JV, courts, tenders etc. They have ranged from...done for ....to backed by CIA .....and everything else in between.
Have we sold/ JV Georgia ....unless the deal was done last night surly word would have got out by now , choose any from Georgians , Russians , Ukrainians, Hope, staff, suppliers, press etc etc . It would be mammoth news in country / industry if there was just a wiff that a major had/was taking the reigns of our world class assets .
Re Dolphin , are we a front for another entity , and / or playing our part in assisting Uncle Sam against Putin.
Well I suppose stranger things have happened , but why would a major or US Govt choose our men to be their stalking horse . With our record & our current position we provide such an easy target for those who wish to discredit us .
It may have already been explained on here but why would Exon or who ever need to hide behind any one.
It might be argued because of the politics i.e Putin , but surly, surly, surly do we think that with all the assets Putin has at his disposal he would not be aware .
For a smoke screen to be effective it has to be credible . On the face of it are we credible ....at present .
And even if he thought so and we are on our own , we are still an American company.
Would any of us if we were not current shareholders, but knew of our background / history / current difficulties choose FRR to invest in if they re listed tomorrow with situation exactly as it is today.
Everything ....on the face of it ........shouts no thank you , but its the bit .....on the face of it .....thats the intriguing bit.
In our regions of interest, ......what the frig is hidden behind ... on the face of it ...
