Yanky oil gone negative.

Brent in real problems now.

Heavy oil to find new markets filling pot holes?

The only "in coming" Paul, administrators?

[broadford bay] 20/4/2020 20:01

Joseki,

I believe WTI closed for May at -$37/bbl or so.

Expect the June contracts to start the same downwards curve now.

Interesting times - and extremely rewarding too for savvy oil traders.

No sale Paul.

Oil price according to the experts will show no real upside for the next 20 months.

That means the company will be producing but losing on every barrel big time.

Restructure mk11 can't be far away.

Oil experts saying no real price upside for this and next year.

Can the company afford to make huge losses on every barrel for the next 20 months?

No chance.

On the 17th March 2016 JF announced the following:-)

"In the interest of all stakeholders, strenuous efforts are currently underway to strengthen the balance sheet, not only to ensure our ability to remain as a going concern, but also to be able to provide new capital to increase production and as a solid foundation for the longer-term future of the Company. I look forward to delivering a stronger business in 2016 with stable production, commercial discipline, value realisation and growth."

Just 3 months months later came the wipeout
