question on results delay...618, page-6

Thanks for the replies...I guess I have seen before that results have been released before wirelines have been run and completed, so I don't put too much sway on that. However, I take your point and more reecntly the ship has been run tighter.

I am a little concerned that the drilling was done so quickly, ie. no significant stops for running casing etc. But maybe they were in competent rock and didn't need to...interested in comments on that aspect from any drilling experts. Don't they normally stop drilling to run wirelines as they progress?

I have seen drilling from other successful wells where the open hole went for quite a long distance...anyway, keeping fingers crossed!

regards
