The board and management of Bpz are history. The creditors committee and the trustee will decide the faith of this company; they will control the company , appoint new board and management and merge BPZ with another oil company .

Last year the operating expenses were less than $30/bbl. that was including injecting back the ng and dividing all the opex by oil only. BK cost is a different item that will need to be reviewed and approved later by the judge before it will get paid.
BPZRQ is getting 3 % value on assets at BK auctions hardly enough to pay bills as stated in Q reports to keep doors open it costs $ 6 million a month not counting the cost of BK expenses management got paid $ 3 million in management expenses in one month to evaluate BK procedures that means it costs $ 9 million that month to keep doors open....not counting court costs and miscelaneous expenses....could cost over $ 14 million that month to keep doors open....counting attorney fees, court costs and outside consulting fees
oil revenues are hardley enough to pay these kind of bills
