growth, growth and growth. needs a couple of billion dollars investment to get exploration going. british government might be up for it. risk is unlikely to be any greater than their investment in support of ukraine.

Exploration has been ongoing for rather a long time.
British government has not paid a penny so far, that I am aware of.
All down to the shareholders

Copper...

Don't be always such a Killjoy... Try to appreciate the fine tuned humour & irony of the above Kelper poster...

Btw...
Exploration has been stopped for rather a loooooooooooong time...
British government has paid 'bout £7 billion so far..., that I am aware of...
All shareholders are down... (Except for them few Fat Cats in London City...)

Capisce...?

Ps...
Keep safe in Siam..., I hear the Yankee embassy is again pulling their marionet's strings...

meant to say exploitation (development and production) of an already explored area where hydrocarbon deposits have been confirmed. the question as to whether they exist in commercial quantities remain. thus far the necessary investment of around us$2b needed for exploitation purposes has not been attracted.
