What do you think they spud test wells with, a SPOON?
It takes the same depth rated rig to drill a test well as it does a production well.
I do NOT understand all the confusion. ERHC changed one reference in the text from Q3 to Q4 and missed the earlier reference.
You have to KNOW this whole "keep the website up to date" thing is completely new for them. Someone made a simple oversight when updating the schedule.
"production activities vs. drilling"
"test wells vs. production drilling"
I know everyone is a little startled at Exxon's departure, but some of you have really lost it. Sometimes a schedule slip is just a schedule slip. No word trickery, no boogie men, just a plain ole schedule slip of the garden variety that have been happening for 100's of years.
I personally think there will need to be some fine tuning after the Abraham test trials and it'll be late out of the docks to whoever gets it first, they'll demand an extention and get it, and drilling in the JDZ won't start until 2009, but lordy I don't want to see the replies on that idea!
We'll be a completely different company by next year. Write that on your bathroom mirrors with a dry erase marker and read it every day. We will be getting bones thrown to us that we can chew on until drilling starts... and I expect there will be some meat on those bones.
Deep breaths please, take deep breaths!
Hey! I'm usually the one throwing a rant, and hear I am the sooth-sayer. I guess it must've been my turn.
