The occurrence of water as part of the production stream is a normal occurrence for a reservoir structure like Puffin NE and is in the range of production scenarios anticipated. Certain short term commissioning issues (including gas lift, metering and water handling) have been constraining recent production rates. These three commissioning issues are production equipment related, not reservoir related. All of these issues are expected to be rectified within 3 months and the Company anticipates a target production rate building to approximately 20,000 barrels per day during this period. The Company intends to maximise oil production to the extent of the FPSO processing capacity and to that end an additional production well is being planned for the first half of 2008. As a result, it is expected that production levels following this drilling program will further increase. This plan is in line with the Company’s previously stated drilling strategy.

I would guess Norwest will get 5-10 mil annual revenue.
Current market cap is around 42mil less 7mil cash held, valued at 35 mil.
Even in current market conditions, it would surprise me if this goes much lower.
