this stinks, page-32

I hope you are right and it works out. The delays just don't look good, and they are dealing with a highly suspect regime, who love dealing with the Chinese in preference to the West.

Hi Penny

Thanks - I hope I'm right too! ;-)

They love dealing with the Chinese because they put forward 2.2 BILLION DOLLARS for a percentage of blocks 17 and 18, as well as $200M for infrastructure which included an oil refinery. $200M and oil refinery should ring some bells for long term holders.

The Chinese stumped up $300M more per block than Eni did for block 15.

So - we have been offered part of blocks 15, 17 and 18 which all at times beat out previous signing records. There is a lot of oil in that ground!

Yes - I might be silent now, and let those that sold get it off their chest, vent and move on.

If nothing else, it's been a great learning experience.
