RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:SurpriseHey Ruud, I’m not sure that Stage is a dud either, but I don’t think that they have captured the interest of the new staff that will be running the operations end going forward. They have a lot of things to consider at the moment, I just don’t think they will depart from their normal way of doing things right away. Maybe later down the road.
I had heard that Stage was to be used in Saudi, if it performs well there, then I wouldn’t be surprised for them to get a shove in that direction by CNOC, but time will tell. Til then, I’m still thinking that this is still a good investment, and the timing was right. Without this merger or a buyout happening, I was getting ready to sell my interest. I was very worried about future working capital availability to meet our production commitments. Good times are ahead.
