cheers, boysy.
given BHP are not under any great pressure to make a decision on SC55, i think we might have to wait a few months to get anything definitive from them. i have high hope that will go through, however. and that's a biggie. a free carried drill on at least one well will be a real filip - and success....well, we'll be celebrating for days.
let's hope the quarterly throws some light on SC51, the multiple targets at Argao would make the drill a great one to be a part of - but clearly not juicy enough for a farm in agreement (although i hope for a last minute white knight).
it just seems that everything is a bit on hold for OEL at the moment - and in that sentiment, where did you learn that Galoc is off line? i assumed it was with the weather, but OEL haven't reported it. still, given the great uptime that has been achieved in recent months, one can excuse them for pulling the plug during a typhoon.
