Chrizzo...........I hear what you are saying , and agree , in principle with your views on the current state of affairs time lines etc......................................=This oroof of concept well has in my opinion , been handled to the best of ability of our operators NWE...................This vertical well has been subjected to a plethora of problems, that were completely unforeseen..apart from the unknown difficulties that can beset a coy that has taken on this NEW project into virtually unknoen fields.............To be fair to all concerned , Given the delays that have beset the consortium handling A2. Peter has not [contrary to popular belief] had a completely free hand in making all of the decisions to date........He has @2 partners in this project that have a lot to say and contribute to the success [or otherwise] of this project and consequentally would have had to listen to and take notice of any contribution made to him by his partners........I personally feel that there have been too many "arm chair " experts potting in their 2 bobs worth as to the way that THEY would have handled the running of A2.......Mostly to the detriment of our ceo PM..........................In hindsite as in many smilar situations things / decisions MAY have ,again in their comments,brought about different results..........I strongly disagree with many posts on this subject ......THEY { and they know who they are }Are not the operators of our coy. PETER is !!!!!!!!!! and as far as I am concerned , HE is doing a sterling job under very trying circumstances........AND he needs all of the support that we all can decently give to him ........................................Don't forget that our assets are still there [subject of course to the final flow rates] And I believe That WE may yet still be in for a pleasant report , when A2 is finally opened up............................................................As to the horizontal drilling and subsequent fraccing of A3......This is I feel the only logical step forward that the consortium can bring into play ..to ensure a speedy [or the speediest way that the area can be brought to fruition..........................For all it is worth , PM has my full backing in bringing this about....................So ,, as I have pleaded before.............Please give him a fair go and let him get on with his job without being continually harassed
