Next News ReleaseAccording to Bumi, we are supposed to get class certification inspections of the mooring lines within two weeks which oil production can then commence. We have one week to go so hopefully we will have a N/R the end of next week indicating oyo-8 has begun first oil.
The last news release stated:
"In the meantime, CAMAC is demobilizing the Sedco Express drilling rig from the Oyo-8 location and the rig will then mobilize to the Oyo-6 well location to continue its planned Oyo field operations. The Company does not anticipate further changes to the project schedule of the Oyo-7 well as a result of the FPSO inspection delays". Translation of what this means is when Energy Searcher abandoned oyo-5 & 6, removed subsea equipment to be re-installed at oyo-8 but it seems they forgot to take the tree with them. Sedco Express is retreiving the tree to be installed at oyo-7 which can't be brought into production until this work has been completed. I have no idea how long this will take. Any guesses? Oyo-7 is tied into the subsea equipment and like oyo-8 is good to go, except for the tree, sigh!
The next N/R will be oyo-8 production. We can also expect to hear:
- 6 for 1 reverse stock split. Analysts are calling CAMAC wanting to cover the company but can't do it with a share price this low. Apparently some analysts need the SP to be over $3 bucks to initiate coverage.
- Farm-in agreement. No idea which block or country it will be in. Hopefully it will be a farm-in of the Block-120 miocene since we already know there is pay waiting to be drilled.
- Drill water injection well.
Assuming there won't be anymore oyo-8 & 7disappointments, we should have an interesting month ahead with lots of news to look forward to. Having assets in 4 countires will keep things interesting for the foreseeeable future. For me CAMAC will be a long term hold.
