O63, you didn't answer the question. Who brought him in? I know you won't answer that :)

I can only assume from the wording of your post it was someone invested, like Denning? Poor judgement, imo, from whoever; looks like clutching at straws if that's the best they could do. Why have the board rewarded him so well?

[oilman63] 06/12/2016 21:25

Lardner

I didn't say he was perfect but if you knew what was happening at the time he was necessary.

I know a few people that know him with different opinions.

I have had zero contact with him.

[nestoframpers] 06/12/2016 21:16

He certainly needs taking off the books imo. Afren holders don't think much of him either.

I asked a good friend to take the opportunity to talk to Nadz a couple of months ago and give me an objective opinion. I didn't load the request with any GKP-related stuff, I just said if you get the chance tell me what you think. Feedback wasn't great.

Who sponsored his introduction to GKP?

Unless Algeria does a Lazarus, GKP has always been a one-trick pony. One product, one customer, one location, one master.

I'm sure if you find better opportunities elsewhere, you go there."

But there isn't any is there , POO will be up soon there will be 3 routes for the oil and Kurdistan is secure.There is a danger of civil war but since they are both Kurds then they will want to keep the oil going even if it does kick off.

Good post Oliver why your bothering posting to OM I don't know.

I am glad Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani spoke up nice that CEOs are as PO as us.

[oilman63] 06/12/2016 20:55

Lardner and BB

I don't disagree with you.

Cashti has acted like a gangster towards the oil companies and I know that private discussions if you can call them that have been going on for sometime.

Like it or not this is why NADS was brought in.

We are now a one trick pony and Cashti has used this against us.

OM63,
re yr 528794

Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani's remarks were, IMO, offered only after he finally realized that the DNO:MNR private-session arguments were getting him nowhere.
He has been in trouble before with Abdullah Abdulrahman Abdullah and the fact that he's decided to bring this situation further into the open should to be welcomed by all oil cos.
Abdullah is considered by most objective observers to be Barzani's bagman, so behind his actions should be seen the hand of another who, while less skilled in oil matters and project financing using Western funds, calls the tune at the moment.
Abdullah has many, many enemies in Baghdad, in Sullaymaniyah, in Arbil, in Washington and London and in the semi-autonomous area of Iraq known as Kurdistan. When the time comes the final reckoning with him will be brutal.
His outburst today should, IMO, be seen in that light.

I'm not asking why things don't get said, O63. I'm stating they don't. If you've worked in the world of corporates/politics for any length of time, you know this.

It's a game of carefully choreographed brinkmanship. Words are wind and all that. Yes, there are lines to read between, but ultimately an AGM tells you very little apart from the resolution vote results...unless you're easily impressed, like various bloggers appear to have been over the years.
