""(Buddy - I appreciate a good robust exchange of views however I am not quite sure what the point you are making is.

I think you are suggesting that CTP import a drilling rig from the US? Is that correct?)""

Please GasBaron, read my posts and read them properly. I know that English is only my second (Or third) language but I believe that when I write I express myself reasonably well. As such, unless I got you wrong, I believe that that first part of your sentence where you are saying that you are not sure of what point I am trying to make, is a little over the top. Other companies are doing it so I can't see why we can't even though we have the dollars to do it ourselves.

Now, if you are to read them again, you would find out that perhaps we would not be in needs of a full drilling rig either, but possibly a platform capable of handling that kind of pressure. IMO The drilling rigs are available here to go to that depth from what I found out, and I believe that they are quickly available too. Even if we had to wait for 2, 3 or 6 months, it is a lot better that having to wait FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS.

And don't forget that there are plenty of blowout preventers too.

How do I found that out.?? Well my friend I have some friends in the USA involved in the O&G Industry and I even pick the phone up and start ringing around, (Around the World too if necessary) and ask the questions which I am more than willing to share with everyone willing to listen/read.

Now, are we the only one which experienced that problem with Beach, Santos, Senex and a multitude of others too.??

Do any of those companies stop their drillings simply because they found a well which encountered a high pressure.??  Think again.

What about moving that same drilling rig in another near location and start drilling there.

And what about Strike with what they have found. And guess what, they are still going ahead and drill more wells even if they might go down the road of some capital raising if need be.
