What you see is a picture of RIG#3 at drilling pad exploration site Wahoo. The prior photo illustration showed it seaside on the past Web site.
Note the centered name of the rig. Gump @ Yahoo has pick up the story some 3 hrs ago.
Industry contacts in PNG have made this mention:
Rig 2 was cut into pieces by InterOil, it is currently rusting.
Rig 3 was sold by InterOil. It is still in country, but no longer in possession of InterOil.
One may recall many years ago when a scam artist in Los Angeles Ca. was caught, prosecuted, and subsequently jailed. The prosecutor reveled a interest tactic he use to fool investors in his business and home cleaning firm. After paying a security company guard a bribe, he invited a group of prospective investors into a building that he did not own, nor have authorization to use.
The intent was enhance the deception by using surroundings that were solid, secure, and represented success. It worked.
For some of us, what IOC has done, and continues to do, is the electronic version of the fraudulent practice employed by that Los Angeles con man.
The continues pattern of behavior is supported by the continues pattern of intent, IOC management was not willing, nor did they, disclose information on a material asset engaged in the "pure focus" of IOC's core strategy of upstream exploration.
A picture of a "lollipop" for American investors. It even has the eye pleasing red, white, and blue colors all over it.
Thanks Tusker,
