Until IOC gets certification payment amount and date from Total on E/A, and/or until the US$300m credit facility is increased and/or repayment moved further out, and / or new monetization deals from BRT materialize - I would argue IOC is very stressed financially. By mid year 2016, the $300m will be fully drawn and probably $200m or more already spent. IOC must repay this loan by year end, so where does IOC get the cash for the $300m payback + interest ???
This is why Dr. Pink Shirt has had to slash spending and there is no talk of Antelope South drilling and not wanting to approve A7 drilling. Phil M sees this and is why he wants shareholder approval over any further asset sales, more drastic personnel cutbacks, among other things.
