Ann: Merlin-2 Pre-Spud Operations On Track, page-35

It's ok sweeping a broad brush over 'our' drilling team' and our management, but I assume that you do not know all of the facts of the past drills, surely not, but you do feel fully qualified to judge with only a few of the facts with lashings of heresay. To me the last drills are history and the only effect they will have is making the drilling team that much more experienced and the location that much more of our management's own choosing. I seem to recall that the last drill was the choice of our partners and not that of our management. Just trying to put the picture into a bit sharper focus than it seems to have been in.
