More news from Belize. Thanks for the prompt.
I called Princess Petroleum and spoke to Keon Garbutt (at 2:28pm for 2 minutes) and Geology and Petroleum Department (GPD) and spoke to Andre Cho (at 2:30pm for 7 minutes).
Keon Garbutt, Princess Petroleum, +501-623-8442 advised verbatim:
1) Max has gone
2) Princess Petroleum are now responsible for plugging and abandoning the three wells drilled by Treaty here.
[These are not my words but Keon's words. He is happy for you to call him on the mobile number above.]
Operator and secretary passed me to Andre Cho, Director of Petroleum, Geology and Petroleum, +501-802-2651 who advised verbatim:
1) Max Mohamed, in his final act as Treaty Belize CEO, submitted an official letter to GPD notifying that he was leaving Treaty and working for Princess.
2) He has been advised verbally - but nothing official has been received yet but is expected within next month that Princess had got fed up and parted with Treaty. They have realised Treaty were not a good company to do business with.
3) Princess are taking responsibility to P&A the wells. They have submitted a P&A program and he is in the process of responding to Princess on it.
4) San Juan 1,2 and 3 should be labelled on GPD maps as dry holes (He had the maps open on his computer while I was on the phone as I explained the confusion caused by dry holes and N/A having the same symbol. He checked but couldn't find my earlier email on this subject and asked me to resend it to him. He will then respond to me by email on this issue).
[These are not my words but my transcription of Andre's words (my words of explanation to you are in brackets above). I didn't discuss whether he was happy for people from the USA to call him or not.]
You can call their contact numbers above as I did, if you want to verify this information.
Cheers
