Pete,

The simple answer is no.

The drilling is the same, the downhole completion jewelry is the same, The time it takes is different only in that an exploratory well will run a lot of tests after it is completed and perfed. These tests are what require additional time and with a land well the rig can move off before the testing is done, in this case I suspect that the drill ship will have to stay on-site to support the testing.

But I am not 100% sure on this as I am inexperienced in deep water drilling projects.
