Question 5/21

The Director of Finance, William Seaton, has stopped you in the corridor:
"Your report was really helpful, but the Board is still considering the implications of that email from Jan Archibald at Fouce Oil. I need to make a more detailed report to the Board and I would like you to draft it for me.
I know that we have owned and operated oil wells in the past, but that has always been with the intention of finding a buyer who is prepared to pay a realistic price. We have chosen never to think about the implications of keeping wells.
I need a report from you that covers the following issues:
* The key political risks of retaining our interest in these oil wells, with particular emphasis on high consequence, high likelihood risks.
* A suitable response to each of your political risks.
* An overview of how changes in the global economy and the demand for oil could affect the decision to proceed.
* The challenges associated with putting together a management team to take charge of the production side of this proposed new strategy.
I realise that this is a lot to ask of you, but I need you to move quickly because of the interest from our biggest shareholder."
