The Oilcans claim to be multimillionaires. Hilarious!

[hhhold2] 21/4/2020 20:57

Oil market futures is already priced to June according to news channels today,,


Trump is throwing money at keeping the Shale industry alive $90 a barrel in the USA? wouldn't it be more beneficial to buy the cheap oil & fill their old wells & swimming pools with it for -$37 a barrel, save his tax payers a fortune that they won't have to pay back for the next 20 / 30 years in austerity taxes,

maybe hes going to get them types of bonds where they can be written off.? dept seems to out of control & no ones bothered about paying it back,?

unlike GKP though , he can't go to shareholders.

"Just a thought about the language used by the company and how shareholders have misunderstood what the company means."

I'll go with the Boards of the IOCs, and not with a moron like Oilman getting what they mean around his neck because he can't understand plain English:-

24th March:-
"Given our strong balance sheet with cash of $154 million at 23 March 2020, no debt repayment until mid-2023, limited capital expenditure commitments and a low-cost structure, we are highly confident in our future ability to capture the significant value in Shaikan, for the benefit of all stakeholders.
We are taking a prudent approach to running our business with a sharp focus on financial discipline and maintaining liquidity."

Four days ago:-
"Gulf Keystone confirms that a gross payment of $5.9 million ($4.6 million net to GKP) has now been received from the Kurdistan Regional Government ("KRG") for Shaikan crude oil sales during March 2020."

Genel - "The KRG commits to settling monthly sales invoices by the fifteenth day of the following month."

Just has a listen to Ben Luckock, co-head of oil trading at Trafigura (one of the major trading houses), giving his opinion on the oil situation.

His view is that oversupply of crude oil is currently between 30MMstb and 35MMstb per day and that the situation won't get better soon.

THAT is going to take quite some correcting.

[mcfly02] 21/4/2020 20:16

Just a thought about the language used by the company and how shareholders have misunderstood what the company means.

When the CEO speaks of the protection of the company he means the company and that's what many misunderstood running up to the restructuring.

Putting plans into place to protect the company doesn't mean automatically protecting shareholders.

Weasel words !
