female bomber kills somali sports chiefs , page-5

Smart - doesn't the fact that the drilling is in Puntland, and out of all the provinces of Somalia, this is probably the safest of them all, and the least fighting occuring?

From my understanding there still may be clan issues, but for the most part the Puntland government are an elected body and have the support of most of the populace. They even have their own security forces (now probably bolstered by private security and NATO/UK/US forces if you beleive the rumours).
