They have hidden behind "we can't announce anything without operator approval" in the JDZ for 7 years. They still haven't released a PR saying the 5 JDZ wells were dry holes... they haven't said a damn thing.

The Joint Operating Agreement above gives them EXPLICIT approval to announce well results (critically material to ERHC shareholders) to comply with the laws ERHC has to operate in.
