https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/a...access_token=83ff96335c2d45a094df02a206a39ff4Are you trying to pretend it has not rained recently at the Sherritt #1 rig drill site? The second photo is not "5mins later" that is just something you made up, I made no comment about the second photo.From the same source that Andrew Purcell was "liking" on Linkedin a few months ago that @
Fontaine82 first posted about. The source is a contractor for PAR Energy Services Inc who are assisting in running the casing for Sherritt. Funny... but I hope you hold the company to account and to the same standard of criticism, because the company itself said the following:

In hindsight, how true was any of this?............
How so? Are you trying to suggest the Sherritt #1 rig is packed up and heading to Alameda-2 right now because they gave the timetable of "5 weeks" and therefore must be right? Or do you think they have already run the casing? I would love to hear what your criticism is. Are you trying to suggest the photo is therefore of the rig in the same location? Are you trying to suggest the rig is not indeed still drilling at Puerto Escondido, La Habana, Cuba?

Well... let's see who is more reliable, me or the company lol... as far as I am concerned, they already failed their "5 weeks" which was first stated on 23/03/2023.
(20min delay)
