Ann: Bimonthly Drilling Report , page-15

Thanks SF,

When I read that I did realise you could interpet the need for sheilds two ways, and sure, it would be simpler/cheaper to do without.

In their report Pattersons do emphasise the high water flow .. but take the view it supports good connectivity and is a indicactor of high future gas yeild. Its open to interpretation i suppose.

Re the timetable for reserves upgrade - Patersons suggest news in the Sept quarter and more in 2010.

Its a judgement call for us all but I'm happy to wait a while and see .. that said, i might frame a inquiry to esg and see whats forthcoming

cheers
