RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Finally....PCL...Pancontinental Energy NL (ASX: PCL) (“Pancontinental" or “Company”) is pleased to provide the following update in relation to its PEL 87 project, offshore Namibia. As most recently reported by the Company on 31 October 2024 the Long Stop Date by which Woodside Energy may exercise its option to farmin to PEL 87 is 180 days from the date upon which Pancontinental delivers to Woodside an instrument in the form of a Seismic License, that provides ongoing rights to the PEL 87 3D seismic data for which Woodside funded the acquisition and processing. Pancontinental is pleased to report that the Seismic License has now been approved by the relevant Namibian authority and delivered to Woodside Energy. As such the Long Stop Date is 18 May 2025. The participants in the PEL 87 Joint Venture are as follows: Pancontinental Orange Pty Ltd (Operator) 75% Custos Investments (Pty) Ltd 15% National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) 10% 1: Woodside has an exclusive option over a 56% Participating Interest to be derived from Pancontinental’s 75%. 2: Pancontinental has an option over a 1% Participating Interest to be derived from the Custos Participating Interest.
Woodside is no major oil company at all!

And thats the reason that I hope that a real oil company, a major farms in and operates as soon as possible Saturn because this Saturn prospect is too big to digest for Woodside. There are hints that Exxon could be a good fit as operator for Saturn (CEO of Woodside is exExxon)
IMHO I thinkt that Pancontinental and Sinatana and Mr Katti and NAMCOR should shape the farmin discussion (= possible take over of Saturn share from Sintana and PCL) and not just Woodside.
I hope that Woodside will go fast forward now. No excuse for them to delay till 18th of May 2025 for the next steps or Fxxx-off Woodside on May 19
