The speed of the Total drilling team at 6 is a reflection of their professionalism . If we drill 7 the team can drill within this year and in time for appraisal completion . Stavros is correct per the Total report the LNG pre works are full steam i.e. environmental , social etc. The most 7 could cost is $100 million and Interoil would owe only its percentage of the total . Costs vs last year are way down they have cut and cut again . Expect year end report second half of March . We have a new operator get used to it .Our marvelous new operator overlookded the potential for drilling and flowing a new well could interfere with highly sensitive pressure measurements being taken in adjacent holes.
Or like Thy said on the A-6 thread: "I think the strongest possibility is that they didn't want to hold off starting A-6 because of the presssure test and were planning an intermission for Ant-6 all along."
Or like this nitwit said (who probably has no business posting anyway): "Might this "overlap" actually hasten things along? A-6 stands ready for the next step. Did Total prefer to be ready ahead of time – early rather than late? Did they allow for unexpected complications in drilling A-6 but didn't encounter any (5 wks to res. top.) Might it be reasonable, even realistic, to give Total the benefit of doubt on this?
