Phone conversation with Scott - Jan 12th 2023., page-446

Not quite the level of urgency I was expecting post discovery. When we’ve got hydrocarbons everywhere. In a country desperate for energy.

We’re just doing it properly. Taking our time. Methodical data analysis. Being conservative. Diluting the register

So much trouble to get these fluid samples for what? What happened to now taking them to the bank for a finance package? Selling some of this massive basin to other explorers? Farming out or partnering up now we’ve got the samples to get us better terms with all these “interested parties” supposedly lining up for a piece?

It doesn’t sound like the short or medium term plan even needed these fluid samples to surface. Getting them blew our budget and momentum and tanked the sp.

We’ll have 3b soi by the time we’re funded for the next drill next year.

and SLB having the equipment onsite but not feeling comfortable testing samples above 5000psi? SMs been so sure of overpressure he was willing to fck the holes with high mud weight. Twice. So now there on a mr slowly sailboat to … bloody Huston.
