statoil at the helm., page-3

Stash, as far as I know,that is correct.I am confident that BKP shareholders will now see an acceleration in Statoil managed exploration and I would hope that we have a drilling program timetable announced before very much longer.

I would hope,also, that quite soon we will be informed when the appointment of Peter Philipchuk begins to bear fruit,as any development with Philipchuk at the helm, will be additional to the Statoil programme.

I believe that the BKP glass is now half-full, rather than half-empty.. as it has been for so long...
