In keeping with the strategy I would want the company to reduce the development, then production risk. After expending significant effort and assuming the risk of exploration its time to reap the benefits - rather than take on additional risk associated with ramp-up.
We would likely take on some other risk in using the farmed-down proceeds for further exploration anyway.
What I dont want NEN to do is enterain a takeover (if approached). This is also a possibility.
