""Still can't understand how STU are going to stump up the money for this. Damn expensive drill...""
Agree, $25mil is a huge committment/risk for a junior oiler.
I have asked Tino (STU MD) about this and it will be funded from current and future cashflow coming out of Cooper Basin. STU have a debt facility secured by proven CB reserves. In other words, they'll make up the shortfall by borrowing money.
Then there's the refinery project, $45mil for stage one. Imagine STU will have to hit the market and/or banks for that as well.
Thats why I prefer MOG for Bazzard. Better leverage and free carried.
