Ann: Block 9 Alameda 3 Appraisal Update (Alameda reservoir), page-272

docmin24,

I know that Duncan wanted nitrogen based drill muds due to the nature of carbonate reservoirs. I wasn't too sure why it wasn't used as the exploration manager has ultimate say on these matters. Maybe it wasn't available.

I think there will be some interesting conversations and I don't mind having an input into it. The way it sounds is that recoveries and well control were enhanced in this well at the expense of flow tests due to these technical issues. Hopefully net/gross figures come in excellent and redeem the situation a bit.

I'm tempted to organise a group to fly up to Sydney to talk directly with management.

best of luck holders
