Its always been about this . Ever since TK found Shaikan 1. Now we have the gas that the market is conveniently ignoring. But for how much longer can they hide the FDP ?

IMO

....and of course Soden to Shamaran.

Greater Shaikan---"A sea of oil".

Taking some sorting out innit.

Don't forget BG, all Director vacancies within the last year have been replaced by those already on the inside. No outsiders.

It?s incredibly difficult RB to understand whether the trolls constantly denying, the bloody obvious, the company has sold up, as to whether , they are just too thick to understand, or deliberately trying to FUD.Anyway I reckon next week is the biggest week in GKP history since first oil.

There is no reason to go to the huge expense, legal compliance, to adjust an existing performance based employee award scheme, to a time based deferred reward and retention scheme without very good reason, nor applying a stay bonus to a CEO.You would never engage a new CFO in a publically quoted company, that had never been a CFO of even a chip shop( unless it was a very short term transition).And if you were a going independent concern, you would replace his CCO role, they haven't. ( Given his role was clearly selling the company, that should not be a surprise...... ) You also would not dole out new options in precise proportions unless they were a share out of a done deal.The company is obviously sold TBA.However without being an insider pinning a fixed date of RNS, impossible.However the stay bonus for CEO would point to a very near term announcement.

"Just saying like."

And said by a complete idiot who hasn't a clue what she's talking about and understands so little that she actually believes that Baghdad are producing oil from the southern fields for $6/7 per barrel.

"Now why would Baghdad want/need to have a rethink when they can produce oil at $6/7pb versus $26pb in Koruptistan?"

Totally and utterly clueless.

Good evening to all you delusional investors.

Its very clear that so many of you (except for the Carroll gang of bogus rampers) have calmed down somewhat and have partly accepted the situation that Epicure finds itself in. So many of you however still don't understand what the main aim of Baghdad is.

As regards your continual belief that "the asset" has Majors/Consortiums who you believe have been accumulating the shares for several years waiting to put ludicrous offers on the table you really need to "manage your expectations" and lower them materially.

The company are not hiding the Kozel barrels that you all fervently believe exist. What they have can be seen in the various CPR's some of which are extremely iffy due to water discovered and the many issues the field has that you all ignore or make excuses for. Also the Resources numbers that have been hyped up over the past few years is all down to the inability to increase the Reserves.

Its clear they only drill to the Jurassic and that has thrown up issues they weren't expecting, like the water. They have no idea as to what the Triassic may have and they will never ever get to the Permian, imho. As for the Cretaceous its really not worth spending on.

I believe its most unwise to believe that once September 2025 arrives all will be marvellous for the simple reason as that will be part of the main aim of Baghdad.

IF the Kozel barrels existed in any great numbers (they don't) and could be extracted, wouldn't you expect the share price to be more than 1.3p?

Just saying like.

They current workforce would receive life altering sums of cash if the options remained performance based and immediate vested.That's why it's been changed.Its in the corporate world known as post integration business continuity planning ......LOLOLOLI am trying to help.....

[arcadian] 26/7/2024 18:15

For 6 months?

Red has avalid point there and what of the entire local workforce? Were they all planning to upsticks? The truth will out in time.

“There is no reason to go to the huge expense, legal compliance, to adjust an existing performance based employee award scheme, to a time based deferred reward and retention scheme without very good reason, nor applying a stay bonus to a CEO.”

I mean… it could be seen as trying to keep hold of important staff who are keen to leave GKP and take up positions in other less corrupt, legal oil exporting organisations…

Nor do we doubt the quality of your brain or your philanthropy via numerous aliases and constant repetition. It`s just that the evidence of the financial,political and legal climate makes what you suggest extremely unlikely.

[highlander7] 26/7/2024 16:59

I hope you are right RED, we all do.

Stranger things have happened.

Is that prediction number 500 redbed?

The phrase "even a broken clock is right twice a day" springs to mind...

I do not seek anonymous avatars gratitude.I am merely attempting to help retail PI who may not have had much exposure to corporate practices, that the company, by its corporate actions, and inactions is SOLD.TBA.. End of.To whom, on what terms, TBAWhen? Highly likely to be very near term.

[redbed] 26/7/2024 16:48

I think an MBA and a career in Irelands VC community , gives me a bit of a steer.

RED

Is. Vs 7

How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of those who bring good news

If you are right I will kiss your feet in public by way of humble thanks and apology BUT do read the gentle verses of H7 as I think that they are nearer the mark. I can`t see us meeting for a while. July4th came and went and July is almost gone.Like H7 I`ll be waiting for the pipeline.

[redbed] 26/7/2024 15:20

You won't have to wait.Difficult to understand why peeps find this obvious revelation difficult to comprehend.They have sold up@Gulf_KeystoneFor how much and too whom we find out soon.

[highlander7] 26/7/2024 14:40

Arcadian,

It always amazes me that so many investors have bought (sometimes) large numbers of shares in an industry most of them dont understand and in a high risk region such as Kurdistan . Yes the rewards potentially could be great but there is a reason the ICG are dragging their heels over the Oil & Gas Law. So I await the pipeline outcome with interest but I am prepared to wait.
