RE:RE:RE:RE:The Facts about PTA (to Ingiboy and the new shareholders)Oil pricing and cash flow: netback of $59 in Q2 on $105 sales in a $105 brent environment. Q3 brent is $95...netback will be more like $50... but they layered on higher fixed costs with the acquisition, so their netback will be compressed below 50 into the high 40's. Plus production was interrupted.
Cash on hand: oft toutet as so great, but most of it is committed to wells, and needed for the bond refinancing. nobody has been lining up to refinance those bonds with other money, and if PTA spends it before refinancing, they're essentially walking the company out onto a plank and hoping the sharks aren't circling. what type of bank offers refinancing of bond loans against the most frequently interrupted field in Colombia and a declining non-operated asset with Parex? None.
