I've just got back. The hotel was quite small, but just the right size for the attendees, about 15. I didn't see any Fools, so I'll offer up a 'back of the class' view on things. I thought a reasonable place to start before the meeting itself, when BH seemed to be free, was to ask the 'questions' that H flagged in his Mello report. So as regards the Kiliwani north seismic analysis, H wondered whether it would be 6-9 months. BH said that it would be a matter of weeks from now. In terms of the time running out on the Nyuni licence he said that they would need to be quick. He said that he could come back to this after the formal presentation, but there wasn't time in the Q&A. We had the formal bit of the agenda first. The resolution was carried with millions for and 21,000 against (Isaac?). And then BH asked if there were any questions relating to the placing. I asked about this statement on the placing doc (p.5), The timing of a second well, which does not form part of the Company's immediate exploration and development programme, will depend on the results of Mikidani-1. I have emphasised what drew my eye, because it suggested that the current placing will not generate the funds needed to drill the second well, if that becomes necessary. BH agreed that this was the case. He said that if the first well is successful they will have farmed out, but they do not have enough to pay for 50% of both wells. We then had the presentation itself. At one point in the presentation BH or MR mentioned that TLW thought that Ruvuma was similar to Uganda. I asked later if they could elaborate. Apparently TLW's Energy Africa team is based in Cape Town and it deals with TLW's East African interests including Uganda and Tanz. The Ruvuma data has been processed by their team in Dublin and they have found it to be 'interesting'. TLW (seismic interpretation team) think that it is beginning to look like Uganda, but not in terms of size. BH mentioned that TLW's business presentations don't mention Ruvuma, it is their interpretation team who are excited at this stage. Looking at page 5 of the presentation, MR fairly raced through this. I think he was pointing at the dotted line that runs from top to bottom when he said that there is a strong fault. He also said that it was good to be on the crest of a trap, there is a good reservoir and stacked pay. It is the same geological (?) story as Madagascar. Geologically and geophysically it is a plausible story. Also mentioned that the geology is complex. He would not say whereabouts in the licence the reprocessed seismic line is from. Also as regards the provisional forward activity chart, BH mentioned that it was actually unlikely that they would drill 13 wells in the next couple of years, but they have the potential to do so.
