"Additionally, prior financial settlements will be adjusted based on historical costs per barrel in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) of this Article. Subsequently, the Iraqi Ministry of Finance will transfer the required payments to the KRG." Are we finally getting paid the arrears. If so I dont understand the share price movement!! |
Good old Trumpy...not difficult to see why Prime minister was so keen to get the amendment passed. |

Cheers TT. I saw it was heading to Aliaga but didn't have time to dig into what was there. Let's see if it does a return trip. |
S-Mates, good spot SS, I watched Nissos Paros pirouete to the Azerbajani pier too. Drats. Port Capri is reportedly off to Aliaga in Turkey, where there is a SOCAR Oil refinery.( SOCAR - State Oil Co.pany of Azerbaijani Republic). Acc. to those changes in draught I make it she could be carrying around 25,000 tonnes or 175,000 barrels of some sort of cargo. Nice to see the KRG Pier was in operation and the vessel arrived/loaded/departed without incident. Plenty of other vessels a few hours away for as/when the export button gets pushed. GLA-TT |
Lower volume day, yet they still manage to drag it down over 3% |
Shake before more news.Plenty of game changing news to come in short term imo.Revenues double when exports restart,based on similar terms to current PSC which IOCs will insist on.GLA |
Down 3% on trivial volume....Its squeezing final pips......Added 1020 more today.Think it will be my last buy hereA publically quoted company near its end |
Is this selling the news? |
