Anyone who came into this without the view that they could lose money is kidding themselves. Small cap O&G is risky business. That said, if people read up properly before getting into it they will know that Assaka was a much lower COS for the TAO-1 well because it was always positioned to optimally test Trident.
Re-read this presentation which has 21% COS for TRIDENT. There is absolutely no mention of Assaka COS in their report as far as I'm aware (happy to be proven wrong if someone can come up with it though).
