In an examination report, UOB Kay Hian opined that the advance is in accordance with its desire and that the FPSO Armada Kraken's entry in the Kraken field in North Sea expels speculator worry of danger of further postponement and the related budgetary punishment charges. 

"Despite the fact that Bumi Armada's final quarter of the money related year finished Dec 31, 2016 (Q4FY16) results (to be discharged end of this current week) could be powerless with potential hindrances, the predictable positive newsflow in the advance for the new tasks underpins its long haul re-rating, which is presently the point of convergence.
