RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:JUST SOLD MY FIRST AOI IN 12 YEARS FOR MORE CPKCBeside the joke of other oilers -> growth = depleting the reserves faster, I don't blame Aoi for not growing or not trying too. Venus should obviously replace the Nigerian assets, which will slowly peter out in 10 years. Then you have some fantasy growth with 3B/4B and maybe with the SA Afe asset.
If they can guarantee a roughly 150m (free) cf p.a. for the next 20 years, you should buy them all day, even if it's pretty boring.
So let's say they don't want to and/or there's no accretive possibility to grow organically or inorganically. What do you do ? Again easy: Unwind the complicated (which is not the problem, the problem is, that it's ineffective and insanly expensive). If you're able to do it and are able to reach my guessed 150-200m (before taxes, zero interest, one board for all) + less sbc/option dilution...well...not too shabby and risk free "growth".
