re: espadon west compartment xmagx

Thanks for the ideas and olivier as well. Yes .. as I concluded the other day Espadon was most likley a scientific well being driven by the need to test areas that may be relinquished .. and HDR's Info Brochure indicates this. That's why now we can look forward to more likelihood of success as the last two scientific wells are out of the way. And as you say Labiedna is a possible tie-back and Tevet Deep a free shot. Banda or near Banda apprasial for gas would be nice see still on the agenda. Simon's release yesterday indicated that the program would contiue after the last mentioned Block 6 well and WPL has indicated in a comment today that Colin is still on the schedule.

So plenty to come and more of them targeting opening up new areas like Faucon in Block 1, the Block 6 well (they have high hopes for Block 6 I believe) and Colin.

Patience as you say!!!!
