I assume it comes down to the cost and availability of the drilling rig/s. It's a question for management. If they did want to progress quickly they should get an extra one onsite. I don't know why they have only gone after quotes from 2 EPCM contractors (Bechtel and Worley?). They should be getting much more quotes and playing the contractors off one another to get the best price.
