Thanks for the shout-out. When we get back to drilling I will once again be giving the board the benefit of my 45 years of oil exploration experience, 20 years in the GoM. Drilling gets complicated and confusing, and I will do my best to sort things out so that we all know what is going on. I must point out that the Tau-1 well, which skated on the edge of disaster the entire time it was being drilled, was actually very encouraging. There were geologic indications at the end of the wellbore that, in my experience, strongly suggested that a major oil sand was immediately below the bit. Or maybe it was actually penetrated and that is what caused the pressure and loss of circulation that destroyed the well. It kills me to know that we were so close. We just have to get back and do it again.
