Ann: Block 9, Alameda-3 Appraisal Update, page-530

You know that raises a conundrum for me. As you know I favour A Weekly Drill Report even saying there is nothing to report is worthwhile IMO. AP just ignores SH, runs into problems, fixes them and then lets us know. The paradox is that ultimately this may be better for the SH in the long run. Imagine if AP hadn’t told us Marti didn’t flow and managed to rectify it then announced a huge flow. Think of the angst it would save. This example is hypothetical of course and I don’t have an answer but at times I do ponder the conundrum.
