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:
"The rig is being demobilised and, upon completion of necessary maintenance and recertifications, will be sent back to Alameda drill pad to commence appraisal of the significant volumes of moveable hydrocarbons encountered by the Alameda-1 well." source: 27 Oct 2022, ASX:MAY, MELBANA ENERGY LIMITED, Total depth reached at Zapato-1ST https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-02589131-3A605694?access_token=83ff96335c2d45a094df02a206a39ff4

"Melbana Energy Limited (ASX:MAY) (Melbana) is pleased to report that an initial two well appraisal program in Block 9 PSC (Melbana 30%) is to be drilled starting in Q1 2023." source: 15 Nov 2022, MELBANA ENERGY LIMITED, Appraisal Program for Block 9, Cuba https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-02598221-3A607151?access_token=83ff96335c2d45a094df02a206a39ff4

"It's going to be in the new year before we start, and how far into the new year just depends on this maintenance program, but we're gearing up to get going in January, I think maybe it's going to be optimistic to think we could start operating that quickly it's probably going to be towards the end of February..." source: 15^th of November, 2022, "**promotion blocked**", ASX:MAY,

"Sherritt Rig #1 is now back at Sherritt’s yards in Varadero undergoing routine maintenance and recertification, where necessary, following the completion of a 15 month drilling program. These works are expected to be completed early in the new year, following which the rig will be mobilised back to the Alameda pad." source: 9 Dec 2022, ASX:MAY, Countdown to appraisal of oil found in Block 9 https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-02610511-3A609231?access_token=83ff96335c2d45a094df02a206a39ff4

On the 24^th of January 2023, the ASX announcement titled "First Appraisal Well Update" stated the following: "Mobilisation notices will be given to contractors in early March..." source: 24 Jan 2023, ASX:MAY, First Appraisal Well Update https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-02623558-3A611346?access_token=83ff96335c2d45a094df02a206a39ff4

"Rig to begin mobilising to site in 3^rd week of March following its projected completion of a nearby well for a third party." and "the rig is expected to be released from its current project in the third week of March, following which it will commence mobilisation to the Alameda pad near the township of Marti for the drilling of Alameda-2." source: 16 Feb 2023, ASX:MAY, Cuba, Block 9 PSC Update on Alameda 2 appraisal well https://cdn-api.markitdigital.com/apiman-gateway/ASX/asx-research/1.0/file/2924-02632149-3A612745?access_token=83ff96335c2d45a094df02a206a39ff4

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.

Now you don't get set after the drill starts turning, or you will pay more....lol
