The cold snack queue is all GKP talk this morning. All "going to plan".

I bought a frozen trotter and cool mayo sandwich. It's what all the trendy city guys are eating in this weather.

Kurdistan Iraq Baghdad Erbil KRG A+AA-
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – A high ranking delegation from the Iraqi federal government on Thursday at midnight, arrived in Erbil to discuss issues between the autonomous Kurdistan Region and Baghdad.

Received by Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Qubad Talabani, the delegates counted among them Iraq’s Finance Minister, Fuad Hussein, Oil Minister Thamir Ghadhban, Iraq’s National Security Adviser, Falih Fayyadh, and Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister, Mohammed al-Hashimi, known as Abu Jihad, a source within the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) told Kurdistan 24.

The delegation is expected to meet with senior Kurdish officials and address outstanding issues between Erbil and Baghdad, such as the federal budget, oil, and the disputed territories.

Their visit comes less than ten days after a high-ranking KRG delegation, headed by Prime Minister Masrour Barzani, met with Iraqi President Barham Salih, Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, and Parliamentary Speaker Mohammed al-Halbousi.

The federal government of Iraq and the KRG have formed a joint committee to address their deep-rooted problems within the framework of the Iraqi constitution.

Ties between Erbil and Baghdad were considerably tense and fractured following the Kurdistan Region’s historic independence referendum in September 2017. Relations began to improve, notably after the formation of the new Iraqi government in late 2018, headed by Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi.

Anyway 3 weeks max to discover if it's a saleIf it isn't its a 5%+dividendNice choicesNo the reason the Co is almost certainly sold is that, they are buying only as shares in treasury are required now to satisfy vesting staff share options.of course none can vest for 18 months plus unless its sold. The buyback needing 2 brokers pretty much confirms it 3 wk hold is very little time to find out.

14th of August is the date then Urals. Buyer not concerned no FDP, Oil Law, CPR?

Are you building in an extension of 10 years to cover a Gulfexit scenario?

Broadford, who is bothered about personnel?

Why did 42,175,140 (30% of votes cast) vote against Garrett Soden (non-exec) at the AGM on 21st June?

Whose toes did he tread on?

Sami's departure was announced on 3rd June.

How are these two events connected?

Dig and ye shall find...

Is stabilisation the new ringfencing?

So it's a takeaway or a 5% dividend now then?

So they need two brokers to protect the SP? It gets even funnier.

And a sale is only 2 to 3 weeks away?

Is this the imminent sale that's been predicted for 5 years or a new one?

And that's why Sami's services are no longer required?

LOFL several times.

Btw, how's the new well going, they're real quiet about that, issues?

[bigdog5] 24/7/2019 16:23

Is it still the belief that Sami is on his bike because the company is sold, LOFL.

Then there's the surry idiot tying himself up in knots with his arguments lol. He hasn't got any better in that dept but his ludicrous posts are even more hilarious than years ago.

I'm hearing some real funny stuff from the City drums as regards budgets and barrels:-)

[urals] 24/7/2019 14:57

And a NOBRAINER , either it is in progress and will be announced within 3 wks max, hence this ongoing stabilisation, or it isn't, and a 5% dividend lands instead. Very little to be found not too like. "Co explained absolutely clearly:They will only buy and put shares in Treasury NOW if they are REQUIRED to satisfy the vesting of staff share option plans. Reading the share option plans rules,not one can vest until Feb 2021.....UNLESS the Co is sold before,when at least 50% IMMEDIATELY vest. Price stabilisation Cannacord and Peel hunt are currently providing also protects minority holders as Co are legally required to not disadvantage minorities.Because the premium could be very large indeed2 brokers needed to buyback shares? Really?!No, but 2 are definitely required to protect the price in market , until Sale announced, which is likely only days or a 2/3 weeks off.FD departure without reason in public, but obviously on good leaver basis, stands with a sale too, job now done, he needs to handover to Bean counters, which will take a couple of months at most."

[bigdog5] 24/7/2019 14:07

No imminent takeaway then Chinese, what's holding it up?

Have the KRG agreed to provide Baghdad with the 250k barrels a day yet? If they haven't what is the likely outcome:-)

[bigdog5] 24/7/2019 14:01

Am I to understand that there are certain posters both here and on other bb's that believe the Cfo was sacked?

Oh dear but you're all wrong again. Waste of money on buyback's that will achieve now't will be one of the main reasons n'est ce pas.

Well welshki, it was a £10 estimate ranging upwards into blue sky possibilities, nothing modelled at the time. It was pure growth.. Back then the understanding was that Shaikan was filled to spill, OWC was well below depth estimates, the other blocs were ontrend and apparently they never drilled a dry hole. Then the stunning fracture system, good field pressure, oil price at $90-110,and majors swooping for the biggest find.

Unlike you welshki, it was when the CPR came out that I took stock of the nonsensical claims of what Gulf had supposedly discovered, that I initially trusted them. Taken for a ride. I no longer had any such figure after that and that's why the difference between us now is this is indeed fun and chit chat for me, but Life and Savings and creating faceless avatar ramps for you.
