Hopefully 95%+

The definition of 100% is that all big items are on site.

[spangle93] 10/4/2024 10:58

Pughman - the workovers should be complete, according to that RNS

In terms of the "% complete" there is no definition as to what 100% complete would be! ;-)

But the usual milestone is mechanically complete (i.e. construction finished), after which there would be considerable pre-commissioning and live-commissioning before first sales

[nigelpm] 10/4/2024 10:48

Hopefully 95%+

[pughman] 10/4/2024 10:24

Blakeley said on Jan 31 Akatara was 93% complete. What percentage figure are we expecting to hear on April 29, 13 weeks later.

[nigelpm] 10/4/2024 07:59

For the reasons set out in the RNS - if you are able to read it?

[ashkv] 10/4/2024 07:16

Why is a simple routine banking process - RBL Redetermination delayed!!!!

JSE CFO wouldn't last a day at tier one organizations!!!

[nigelpm] 10/4/2024 07:09

What are you on about now?

[ashkv] 10/4/2024 06:49

Sack the CFO and the CEO - for putting faith in such an inept hopeless useless CFO clown!!!

One bad hire can kill a firm!!!

Looking forward to an update from Jadestone - it is due!!!

I came across the below from the 2021 Montara negotiations - these Aussie oil workers are raking it in!!!


The newly-made EA includes:
● Actual rates of pay in EA, which are between $188,275-$256,496 on approval;
● 2% yearly increases to rates of pay.
● Job-security provisions preventing the company from hiring a contractor or labour hire to perform work for less than the rates in the EA.
● 14% superannuation.
● A 3/3/3/6 roster that cannot be changed unilaterally by the company.
● Income protection of 85% of income up to $4100 per week for 104 weeks.
● Redundancy provisions of 3 months’ pay upfront, plus 2.5 weeks’ pay for each year of service, with volunteers for redundancy given first preference.
● Improved dispute-resolution clause and recognition of union delegates.

cxx,

I agree - operating in this territory is becoming more restrictive and being exposed to surprise shocks could prove existential.

I am currently in Australia.
There are several negatives to buying more assets in Austaralia.

The cost base is ridiculously high, both for labour and equipment.eg getting a mechanic to work on your car is £60ph and they are very low productivity workers [slow].

The regulator has become much more demanding. Cooper Energy bought some acreage + infrastructure from Beach for a nominal sum. Several years later the regulator said they wanted more decom work done than Beach had done even though this had been signed off by the regulator at the time, requiring the platform legs removed, despite people noting that they form a natural reef. Cost $100m so far and counting

In addition to all of this, green coalitions are finding and getting indigenous people to complain [see Barossa project]. The subsequent regulatory reviews and legal challenges lead to delays and massively increased costs.Look at NZ for the direction of travel.

Remember Jadestone are proposing further work on the fields, so cultural and environmental approvals, equipment and labour would be very pertinent issues.

For a foreign company like Jadestone, which has a blotted copy book, buying more assets in Australia is simply wrong, no matter the price.

On the other hand Indonesia is running short of gas as is the Phillipines...

[tom111] 05/4/2024 20:25

If the assets are that good why would we be the preferred bidder considering we are the weaker of the three bidders unless ofcourse we land ourselves with a load of debt

[yasx] 05/4/2024 19:48

Anyway, no point in trying to figure out what might happen next - we will see if they are preferred for the deal and, if so, what the terms are.

[yasx] 05/4/2024 19:47

TGM,

Assets with huge decomm liabilities and likely to be plagued by issues are only cheap if you look at the short term - in the longer term they can end up proving costly, as JSE is starting to learn with Montara. Who knows where it will end where that is concerned.

[yasx] 05/4/2024 19:45

34Aads,

That is true - however, given the scale of the deal (and the risk that any funding mechanism would undoubtedly attach) would leave no room for error even if they were to secure it. What PB has shown with Montara is effective planning, operational excellence and assessing financial risk are not his strong points.

JSE is high risk/high reward, with or without the proposed RTO deal. I am heavily long but not blind to the risks.

[34adsaddsa] 05/4/2024 18:13

Foreseeing future Montara issues would be a reason to go for the transaction.

It's so big that it would make Montara irrelevant. The company would live or die with the new asset.

[the_gold_mine] 05/4/2024 18:06

I would think the best person to assess the deal would be Paul Blakely given his decades of experience in that area. Recent operational problems with one asset do not detract from Blakelys excellent track record of sniffing out high quality assets on the cheap.

[yasx] 05/4/2024 17:46

I reckon we have not heard the last of Montara 'issues' - until Ak. is properly set up and motoring, any impact from Montara is potentially too significant for the Co. to absorb, at least as far as current shareholders are concerned. It may be a blessing in disguise if they do not succeed with the reverse takeover since they have demonstrated they do not have a good handle on how to navigate a financially stretched situation and the cause of the same. A much larger transaction of the type contemplated seems a step too far.

[fardels bear] 05/4/2024 14:45

He's something of a pessimist

[yasx] 05/4/2024 14:26

Montara really is such a mess. With hindsight, Jadestone must regret ever getting involved with it.

[fardels bear] 05/4/2024 13:52

Not necessarily. You can shoot the tw*t from behind a bush when he's not expecting it.
