My thoughts for now is that the renaming of the prospect to "Samo", a cheeky reference together with the bold wording below from latest Ann suggests that FAR is going at it alone at this stage with GNPC in tow. CN is in the driver's seat and can afford to pick the best paying passenger if required to pay for the fare..

The Samo well will be the only exploration well to be drilled offshore The Gambia since the Jammah-1 well drilled in 1979. Success in this well at the scale that RISC has supported would be truly transformational for the people of The Gambia and FAR is proud to again be in the privileged position of delivering the country’s first, modern exploration well as we were in 2014 in Senegal. FAR wishes to acknowledge the cooperation and support of the Gambia Ministry of Petroleum and Energy and the Gambia National Petroleum Company (GNPC) as we continue with our drilling preparations. We trust this will be the beginning of a long and fruitful partnership.”
