I collated this info from the PTR/Beach weekly drilling updates for Paralana-2:

30/06/2009 - ann: drilling begins on 4km Paralana-2 injector well (programmed to take 60 days)

01/07/2009 - spudded on 30/06/2009 - drilling ahead - depth 189m - progress 189m
08/07/2009 - drilling ahead in the Maree Formation - depth 480m - progress 291m
15/07/2009 - preparing to run in hole with new bottom-hole assembly - depth 709m - progress 418m
22/07/2009 - drilling ahead - depth 796m - progress 87m
29/07/2009 - drilling ahead - depth 1069m - progress 273m
05/08/2009 - installing blowout preventers prior to drilling ahead - depth 1116m - progress 47m
12/08/2009 - drilling ahead in the Erudina Formation - depth 1427m - progress 311m
19/08/2009 - drilling ahead in the Brachina Formation - depth 1720m - progress 293m
26/08/2009 - drilling ahead in the Brachina Formation - depth 1947m - progress 227m
02/09/2009 - drilling ahead in the Brachina Formation - depth 2100m - progress 150m
09/09/2009 - cementing 9 5/8inch casing - depth 2253m - progress 153m

On 14/08/09 PTR announced drilling was originally expected to take 2-3 months but was now scheduled to take 3-4 months.

I note the original 60 days equates to 2 months rather than 3 months, but now 4 months is mentioned.

On 17/08/2009 PAX announced they had been advised the drill will be delayed by "one month or more" and "look forward to commencing the drilling of Salamander-1 sometime during October".

Given the above, can anyone offer some insight into when we are likely to see the drill actually coming up the road?

Also a question on references to PTR drilling a follow up well. The quoted timelines would appear to suggest that PAX will get access to the drill immediately after the Par-2 injector well is completed. Is this correct?
