re: drilling may be closer than we think! Sabre the latest info if from AZA drilling report from the 22nd. They are at over 2km down (out of 3.3km total) with a lot of the production casing, blow out preventers etc now in place, so they are well progressed. Should be an update later today from AZA that will give a clearer idea how fast they are going and if any problems have cropped up. They could well be near their target depth by now. THe latest info from GOP is that they still don't know if Gilbert is first or not. It is in the hands of BAS and they are not giving anything away as yet!
