Cairn Pre-Close Update 19 January, page-97

A snippet from an article that Mr H posted a couple of days ago... don't think much can be inferred from that but we don't know..

"In Senegal, final processed products from a 3D seismic survey covering 1,005 square miles across the Sangomar Deep, Sangomar Offshore and Rufisque Offshore permits will be available in mid-2016, according to FAR Limited, which commenced the survey in September with its joint venture partners Cairn Energy plc, ConocoPhillips and Petrosen in a bid to delineate the SNE discovery made last year. As part of an evaluation strategy to assess the SNE field, the joint venture plans to commence drilling operations at the SNE-3 and BEL-1 wells by 1Q and 2Q 2016, respectively. SNE-3 will test the southern extent of the field and BEL-1 well will initially test the Bellatrix prospect before evaluating the northern part of SNE. The JV also has a program and budget outline for three further optional wells in Senegal for 2016/2017."

Nonetheless, it is probably a pertinent point to raise at this stage if there was no clear decision taken on the additional three wells to date.
