I doubt the KRG will ever pay the outstanding arrears, it will just be "lost".

AgreedVery good news from GKP this morning regarding payments from the KRG.The new proposed KRG arrangement represents immediate payment of sales invoices, going forward. This has already begun with the payment for March 2020 Shaikan production. The payment for April 2020 is on the horizon, albeit modest in size because of the depressed oil price.That leaves the four month period November 2019 to February 2020 as the outstanding sum. GKP will be owed this amount by the KRG until the end of 2020, though oil price recovery could accelerate that. Is this interest-free arrangement a poor one? Of course not!GKP has typically been paid well in arrears and on an interest-free basis, so this is essentially the existing arrangement put onto a proper, formalised basis. And if GKP follow normal accounting conventions, the amount will appear in the Accounts as an agreed debt or loan. This makes the GKP financial position stronger, even though the cash is not actually in the bank. A significant slice of the $100 million Notes will then be covered by this formally owed amount.GKP can now determine its Dividend proposal for the 2019 Results which should be released by the end of this month. It can also deal with the Treasury shares, cancelling them as appropriate.

https://t.co/cd69rAFs8lPEEL HUNT BROKERS ANALYSIS :BUY :  TARGET 287PThe business is currently having to withstand a volley of unforeseen negative developments, the combination of which has caused the share price to fall -60% in the past month. However, GKP's financial discipline in recent years has ensured the business today is in good health and is therefore in a strong position to weather this period of increased volatility. Having now moved to update our asset model to factor in new production expectations and Shaikan capex phasing over the coming years, our DCF analysis still shows considerable upside to the share price. Our Core NAV for GKP now sits at £622m, equivalent to 287p/share (from 345p). This is where we also choose to set our target price and therefore maintain our BUY RECOMMENDATION .https://t.co/fMaubyPbsl

Agreed Broadford. The Chairman's main job is to look after shareholders interests. Another clear failure.

I did warn sometime back that the MNR would be looking to adjust the payments. I also banged on about wasting money on dividends and buybacks. However who was it advised that dividends and buybacks were the way to go to increase the SP? I'm confident I know who is to blame.

And wasn't it Paul via Urals/Chinese that thought it a great idea. You can now see how he managed to wreck his family business.

slurryscot/highlander's view on the news this morning just proves what a total idiot he is. Can you remember what happened the last time the KRG did such an action and what it resulted in.

Oil at $50 anytime soon? LOFL, dream on all you crazy delusionals.

I wonder how the auditors will view that news? Deja vu?

The quality (or lack thereof) of reporting important background information to this Payments RNS is really quite disturbing for a London-listed public company.

That the Non-Chairman Mr Huijskes should even be prepared to countenance the issuing of such an inadequate piece of misleading information is even more disturbing.

The Board of the Company has a rancid smell about it, and I wonder how long major holders will put up with it all?
