Ann: Block 9, Cuba Commencement of drilling of Alameda 2, page-73

An impartial assessment of Al 1 demonstrates multiple failures culminating in the PA of a well intended to produce. Then Zapato was a fiasco from conception as a follow up well. One could interpret this as bad luck and the exigencies of O&G wells. A cynic could say it’s due to bad decisions and poor well control.
Now there is the same Mx and drill team back at the same location for round 2 to achieve the same objectives. So there is a dichotomy amongst SH, one that thinks there is a pot of gold at the end of every rainbow complete with white rabbits in top hats and the cynics who are saying “prove it” which includes the insto’s.
At the moment the cynics are ascendant. I expect this to continue, thus my slow burn hypothesis. IMO each re rate will be on the basis of hard evidence which won’t come quickly. For those who won’t like my opinion, check out the nom de plume.
